    New frame TV installed by Max.
    Sarah P.

    Max was great - we hired him to hang our flat screen tv and a couple new sconces. He was very communicative, told me when he would show up, let me know his status, arrived on time, was incredibly polite and had all the tools and skills anyone who needs help could hope for. I'm excited to have Max come back and help me with more projects. I highly recommend him!

    Installing sink
    Jennifer G.

    WOW! Whatever job you need, he can do it! I messaged Handy Max to install PVC shiplap in my small restroom. He was so patient and did the job in a 1.5 days. He did such a great & clean job, that I asked if he could install the sink as well. He took care of looking for the correct pipe connections & even came back another day when I asked him why my drain was acting slow. He came back & changed it with a different connection and the problem was solved. I also hired him to install a bug protection plate for the security door. He made the door entry look seamless! There used to be a huge 5 inch gap between the inside/outside door & he was able to close it seamlessly. I will never hesitate to hire him again for my DIY needs! So professional & gets back to you quick! Very honest man as well & won't try to overcharge you for the job. 10/10!

    Max was super prompt, friendly and did an amazing job fixing the cracks in our ceiling. You can see the before and after photos! Will definitely be using him again

    Very heavy 107" wide blackout curtains, installed perfectly and now very sturdy!

    My husband and in-laws have spent 6+ hours of pure frustration trying to get these extremely heavy 107" blackout curtains installed in our apartment. We ended up ripping a hole in the wall! Finally, after seeing Max's reviews, I decided to give him a call and I'm so glad I did. He arrived on time, quickly patched the wall and installed the curtain support brackets securely into the studs. He communicated very clearly before and during the job. Start to finish, Max completed the job in just 2 hours. He even earned the trust of my little dog, who barked at him for a moment, then fell asleep next to him while he worked. Do yourself a favor and give him a call!

    Do you install prefab handrails (ex. from Home Depot) to a three step porch or on a garage wall with steps?

    Hi Cathy. Yes, I install these types of prefab handrails, including Home Depot-style kits, for porch steps and garage wall/step areas.

    I had a specific size custom wood base for a storage shed I needed built that would be level on my steep driveway.

    Drywall Repair Finisher - BEFORE:  I was worried that the plumbers cut the drywall so close to the baseboard that it wouldn't be recoverable.

    Luis responded to me immediately, bid the job quickly and accommodated our timeline. His work…read morefinishing our garage was excellent, as well as an interior wall patch were excellent. I will never hesitate to do work requiring drywall patching knowing I have Luis to call on for repair.

    I had a positive experience with Luis back in 2020 where he fixed a bad skim job by another…read morecontractor for me with a bunch of patches, and I thought Luis' skills were pretty superior. Over the years I have been doing DIY fixing of more bad spots around the house but I also work so I was never going to get around to all of it. I decided to call Luis back recently because I didn't want to do it myself anymore and I want to repaint fresh non-patchy walls. I hired Luis to reskim two bedrooms and two accent walls and some other miscellaneous spots that I added after he started working at my house. Luis was at my house for 3 half-days (1.5 in total) before telling me he was finished with the walls. I was (still) happy as a clam at that point and paid him in full for what was completed, fully trusting that the work was done skillfully based on my prior experience. (He was coming back one more time to finish the misc. stuff that I added on and I would pay for that part then.) Anyway, imagine my horror when I checked on his "finished" work and saw imperfections everywhere and tons of sanding dust still left behind on the walls, switches, and even mud on the door knobs. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves from here with brief descriptions of what's being shown. -Pictures 1-3: Some of the imperfections from the first time Luis said he was "finished." -Picture 4: His first fix-it visit(half day). He was supposed to find all the imperfections and patch them (the yellow highlighter spots), except he was patching bubbles with more bubbles. I had to patch all the spots again with my own compound and added a ton of other ones that he missed. Took me two full nights. -Pictures 5&6: His second fix-it and final visit (another half day). He was supposed to sand over all the patches and walls to leave them with a smooth & uniform finish that's ready for primer & paint. This was how I found them after he left. I sent him these pictures and told him to not come back as I had given him 2 chances to fix and he failed both times. There was no response from him. -Picture 7: I made only a partial payment of the balance on Luis' last visit because part of the remaining work was him making the corners of a ceiling overhang crisp, the corners are crisp but somehow the overhang is now squiggly when that wasn't the problem before. -Picture 8: I had taped up all my trims before Luis came as I didn't want any mud/compound to get on them, but I thought my crown molding were safe. They were not. He had busted them pretty badly with his electric sander in 7 spots and dinged them in at least 10 other spots but those were minor and I was able to superglue them back together. I did take on the repair of the major dings myself because I wanted to tape all of it up before he came back for more sanding. Luis and I had good rapport and I actually liked talking to him, but once the job took a turn for the worse, he never acknowledged that he didn't do a good enough job. He instead said things like, 1. "You're not supposed to look at the walls with a light from the side like that" and "I've never seen anyone look at a wall like you." --Yes, technically he's right, walls usually have paint on them which would have made these imperfections painfully obvious even when looking at them straight on, but until there is paint, this is how drywallers check for imperfections and fix them before they get permanently sealed with paint. (I had two painters (who also skim coat) come over for quotes and this was how they both checked to see how much prep work they would have to do before painting). 2. "I could fix these walls 10 times and something will still come up."--it really shouldn't if he did it right the first time, he's supposed to be a professional, not a DIYer like me. 3. "You've got to be kidding me. I'm at a point where I want to just refund your money and get out of this insanity"--after he came and saw all the patches I added to the walls (that he missed). I know what he was trying to imply and still gave him my electric sander to use so he could finish the job. With all that said, guess who is still stuck sanding the walls now after paying Luis to do the job and saying I didn't want to DIY this anymore. And with all these patches that I had to add to cover up his mudding imperfections/bubbles, it's looking like I'm going to end up with patchy walls again, which is exactly where I was when I handed Luis this project. What a joke. And the crown molding that I fixed up? That still needs to be repainted as well. I wasn't going to leave this review, but after several weeks and my walls still needing to be finished, I thought I would share my experience.
