I crawled underneath my house (as did mark) and found evidence of rust and leaks that Mark never even mentioned. This is stuff that was going on for years and was easily detected by an inexperienced new homeowner. Mark doesn't use a moisture meter which indicates how much moisture is in the wood and if he had he could have told us what we needed to know about the condition of the house we we're buying. I do not recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a home. We also learned the door to our garage isn't fire-rated, another thing he missed. Here's some pictures of the mess we are now dealing with that we purchased thanks to Mark. Never hire a home inspector in HumCo who doesn't use moisture readers- it's like walking into a huge financial obligation completely blind.

I had a leaky bathroom faucet that I knew from previous handypersons that had "fixed" it that it was a gasket inside the faucet. Daniel came and left at least twice to "get the proper parts" or "tools." I explained what the issue was before he arrived. At one point, I walked into the bathroom and saw him on his phone, not fixing anything. He also opened the faucet that I didn't have an issue with, which now leaks. There is a permanent footprint that I still have not been able to get out of the tub and looking over my invoice I paid $60 for a rubber gasket and $285 dollars for a 3 hour job that should have only taken a half an hour max. At the time I was thankful that they came so quickly so I didn't say much but now I am having another issue and decided to check reviews to see if they would be able to do the job, or if my experience was a fluke, but see that others have had the same issue with extended job times, faulty work and missing tools/parts that create the need for larger charges. I think I will have to pass on hiring again. It also made it hard to give this review because they were both friendly but I have to question the professionalism.

Third job was terrible. Moved a couple of smoke alarms in living room, and spackled minor holes--charged $500, spent morning partly chatting and standing around. I could have done it in under two hours, but I am bedridden now. I contested the charge but was told "my dad makes all the decisions, I just do the jobs," and "we have a lot of general expenses" (in 2024). No recourse to ridiculous price.

Don't do it. Save yourself a 5-month long headache by going with an actual professional. Your Local Mow Man does not even have the classification of a D-28 that is REQUIRED by the state of California to professionally install an automated gate. Look up his license #1079969 on the Contractors State License Board website, see for yourself. We discovered this recently and it shows in the workmanship that is already failing 30 days post installation. Geronimo is the owner of Your Local Mow Man, I did ask as by month two I was ready to speak to a supervisor as he consistently exhibited a lack of accountability. It took me 5 months of his unprofessional behavior to finally get fed up, request my final invoice and file a formal complaint to the Contractors State License Board. He was the cheapest bid and we got what we paid for, cheap workmanship. I would have given him zero stars but I must admit the fence line looks okay...for now. Be sure to measure your fence if you do use YLMM, I had to hound him to acknowledge his shortage of 32'. Yes, you read that right, not thirty-two inches, thirty-two FEET of fencing. Consider yourselves warned, if a picture says a thousand words, you decide.

My wife and I are past the age of taking on large, physically challenging projects on our home so…read morewhen our old-growth redwood-sided home and ipe deck needed refurbishing, we started looking for a painting company that could do the work well and not break the bank. As it happened, a young woman I work with told me her fiance is a painter. I was dubious at first thinking I would rather have a more experienced (read older) person who understood the idiosyncrasies of washing and protecting wood. However, after discussions with my co-worker, I found out that although her finance is a young man, he is the beneficiary of being the fourth generation of a venerable and highly respected family of painters and access to those many years of knowledge and experience. So my wife and I decided to roll the dice and I am so happy we did. The work was difficult due to excessive mold that is prevalent in the wooded and shaded area in which our home resides. It took them two times to get the mold off the softer shingles and then they had to sand them to bring back the grain. The ipe deck proved equally as challenging but was met with the same expertise. To further complicate matters, my wife chose three colors of stains for different surfaces but the painters took in those and all other requests and delivered what I would call nothing less than a masterpiece. The house and deck look incredible, the clean-up was perfect and we are confident that we will enjoy years of maintenance-free wear. Lastly, and almost as important, is the easy and professional manner in which our painters communicated with us. Whether by phone or email, we were always kept up to date with what work was done, what was scheduled for the future and when we could expect it to be done. I highly recommend Renaissance Painting and will use them in the future. Good luck to you on your project. Bob M., Freshwater, CA
