    More holes in the back closet as Dave was attempting to find the stud
    Tania Q.

    SLEPT THROUGH APPOINTMENT and LEFT DAMAGED WALLS BEHIND! I needed help fixing my closet rod in my bedroom closet which had fallen when putting clothes on it. I had texted and called Dave to schedule my appointment. Turned out Dave was sleeping when I finally called him to see why he was a no-show for our 10am appointment we had scheduled on a Saturday morning. I had even sent him a reminder text at 8:15am that day to confirm if he was still coming, which of course he was sleeping. He came about 30-45min later and took a look at the project and sent me to Home Depot to fetch supplies and said he would come by the next day around 9 or 930 to complete the project (no definite time was agreed upon). The next day he arrived with a woman which he mentioned was his painting apprentice. I expected a handyman to use a stud finder before placing nails in the wall for this project. Dave's way was literally drilling hole after hole into my wall until he found the stud, stating it should be here somewhere.......I told myself not to freak out because I'm sure he would patch the holes after he was finished. Nope he didn't. Yes he was able to fix my closet rod and screw them into metal studs, but he left ovea dozen holes in my freshly painted back closet as well as dust and nails in the bottom of my closet and over my clothes. The kicker was when I paid him $80 cash, he asked me why I didn't leave him a tip? I mentioned he had slept through our appointment yesterday and he replied that doesn't count and to leave him a Yelp review. Here's the review. I am Appalled by the quality of work and holes left in my wall along with condescending remarks he had made when he was finished with the project. Very unprofessional. Update 9/25......this is Dave's response (via text) to my review he had asked to me write......

    Is this guy making appointments on Monday's when he doesn't work on Mondays??? Today is Monday and good ol Dave was supposed to do a small repair job at my house BUT he was MIA. I noticed this guy is quick to respond to all the unfavorable YELP reviews..too bad he doesn't respond as quickly to the JOBS THAT HE SCHEDULES!!! Good thing I had a back up guy...bye Dave the dud.

    Brick wall painted, TV Mounted, shelf, desk and painting installed in record time!

    Super happy to call Wes my mechanic. He doesn't live on Oahu, but he's here almost every month, and…read moregets the work done at the best price. Always responds and doesn't waste your time!

    This guy is legit, knows what he's doing, and he's quick! He's also MOBILE people!! So I was quoted…read more$7,000 from dodge to fix my ac due to a leak in my dashboard. I reached out to Wes on a Wednesday, he came to my house Thursday, he found multiple leaks, quoted how much the parts would cost and how much the labor costed, and we set a date for the repair, which was the following week. It was that simple and quick. His wife and his niece was there as well. His wife got a quote on multiple stores for parts within minutes, his niece was there to assist Wes. Wes is very trustworthy and honest about his work and immediately my husband and I were ready to do business with him. Fast forward to today (4 days later) he calls me to tell me my truck AC has been restored and ugh im so happy bc summer is approaching. It took 4 days, and to me, that's pretty amazing for one man to take on a big job. He was very informative during the 4 days, sent updates with pictures and texts just as reassurance. He really would've been finished earlier but it's been raining and he works from home, and it's Wahiawa, so it's always raining. He did extra on top of what was needed and I really appreciate that bc it's hard to find honest mechanics these days. Basically, Wes, his wife and niece are amazing! The turn around time is shockingly great, again it's JUST HIM, and his pricing is more than fair. So fair, I'm going to pay him extra bc he's that good. Thank you Wes we're definitely going to be coming to more often. God bless you and your family
