Eric gets an 11!
Eric has helped me with a myriad of things ever since my last move back to LA in 2013, when I first found him on Craigslist (always a gamble, as we all know) -- to help me hang pictures, put together a corner platform bed, fix an IKEA chest of drawers that had the bottoms of the drawers falling out, and drill a complicated corner shelving unit into place. Best CL find of my life!
He has since been the guy to take down all the above mentioned only to put it all back up in a new place, upon two other moves in LA since then. He also helped me move! His truck has been super handy!
On the last move, he patiently went through three separate "I changed my mind" hangings of various pics and my dad's treasured art, and one very heavy mirror, to get the angles and symmetry just right. I probably would have driven most others crazy with my changes. Eric simply went with my every idea - drilling, hanging, un-drilling and rehanging.
Later, he installed an outside storage shed which all the literature said would take at least two people, and x amount of hours. He did it himself, in less time than the instructions stated.
He will always be my go-to for anything related to the above, and whatever else I could throw at him, he'd probably find a way to do. Though his passion and expertise is in art installation, so he told me. He has LACMA experience/background!!
All of this with his kind, thoughtful, concentrated demeanor - he literally just listens to what you need and gets the job done, whilst making sure it's what you want done, whilst being a super nice guy the entire time.
There are so few people like Eric in the services industry - this guy is simply top notch. Thank you Erik! I'll be calling you on my next move or when I find that heavy artwork I want mounted on an obscure wall space! read more
