    First he left a blob of excess paint here. On return visit, he fixed that by simply cutting access paint off.

    I received some unspecified threats from this business when I asked for (partial) refund for a poorly done job. When concerns about quality of work have been raised, both Kenny and the scheduling assistant have been explicitly rude. The job is very sloppy, with obvious misses (numerous gaps in sealing and grouting, grout on top of tiles, bumps on fixed wall) and poor aesthetics with materials not matching existing materials, excess grout and paint not removed, and overall very broad strokes. Maybe ok for a house/area with many existing imperfections, but not fit for fixing a neat looking area. He worked in dim lighting (without own light) and of course missed spots (he missed nearly 10 spots when grouting and sealing!). He did not clean shower floor tiles after grouting before applying sealing layer all over the floor. This shows the lack of attention to detail and explains the results. I saw he has some 1-star reviews but relied on 4.5-star average rating and was tempted by his same-day availability. This was clearly a mistake. I first hired him to seal the gap between the sagging sink and the counter. This was done ok. Though he did not attempt or even discuss the option of closing the gap first by lifting the sink, and instead he just filled the gap with 1/4-1/2 inch thick visible layer of silicon. He also charged $240 for the job he completed under 1 hour. Don't ask him any extras! I ask him to also apply silicon to the corner between the countertop and backsplash, which he did but left 2'' gap behind the faucet and left a thick blob of silicon in one spot. Next morning, he did a second project in the bathroom: fix drywall damage and re-grout (fill holes between) shower tiles. This was done very poorly. I requested him to come back the next day (which he only agreed to after my insisting, first saying he'll come next time he is in neighborhood). I had to miss work for this. He fixed some of the misses, but refused to fix others. You can see attached pictures. The instructions for the grout he used say "Not suitable for change of plane" (meaning seams/corners where walls meet or wall meets the floor). Instead of grout, caulk or silicon should be used for change of plane. I've put a stop on checks I gave him until the issues are resolved or a refund is agreed upon. But instead of negotiating, they have been rude and issued some vague threats over text messages. I'll update on how this ends.

    I had several repair items, and two art objects to be hung. The repair items required skills in a variety of areas: electrical, carpentry, mechanical and plumbing. The work was completed in two visits, within one week of request for service. Marco worked day one, and Marco and Kenny worked day two. Both are extremely knowledgeable, communicate well, and are nice guys. Communication from the office was excellent, too. I would definitely do business with Kenny and crew again.

    Kenny helped install these two light fixtures and put them on dimmers. Haven't installed the bulbs yet but he did a great job!

    Tom was excellent to work with! Great communication, photos of everything, and most importantly…read morediagnosed the problem and got everything working. Absolutely will hire again

    This is going to be long, but it needs to be, because the experience unfolded slowly and then all…read moreat once. I hired Ted because he seemed professional at first: reasonable quote (not the cheapest), clear scope of work, and a stated one-year warranty. I waited about a week for him to come out. The first red flag was timing. He said he'd arrive between 9:30 and 10:30. At 9:50 he texted that he was "wrapping up his morning job" and needed to get fuel, with no ETA. He arrived at 11. When he came in, he put foot covers on his shoes -- and then immediately stepped outside and back into my house, tracking dirt onto my carpet. He didn't have enough material to protect the floors where he'd be working, so I laid down plastic myself. He didn't seem particularly concerned about keeping the space clean. As the work began, things went downhill quickly. Ted started cutting into my walls and ceiling far more than expected. What should have been a relatively contained wiring job turned into multiple drywall openings -- including a long, thin strip cut from the power box toward the bathroom. As I write this, I have a drywall professional repairing all of these cuts. Once I realized how much drywall he was removing, I asked him to stop cutting and to check with me before making any more openings. I also asked how much he would charge to repair the drywall. He responded defensively, saying, "I didn't agree to that -- check your texts," as if I were asking him to fix it for free. He even threatened to leave. I clarified several times that I was simply asking for a quote. He never gave one, and instead just continued working. The long strip he cut was supposedly needed to run a new power wire. Ted initially insisted the wire would need to run under the ceiling joists -- essentially beneath the drywall -- and that I'd "just mud and tape it." I've done enough drywall work myself to know that this is incorrect. I used a flashlight to show him existing wiring running properly over the joists. He eventually conceded that it might be possible. Later, he called me to say he'd need to extend the strip further because he didn't have a straight pole to fish the wire. I paused, thought about it, and realized I owned steel fish tape -- the correct tool for exactly this purpose. When I showed it to him, he glanced at it and said, dismissively, "That's for conduit," and turned away. I explained that fish tape is used for precisely this situation. He repeated, "It's for conduit," several times. When I tried to demonstrate its flexibility, he raised his voice and said, "Look, I don't want to get lectured, okay?" At that point, I had to tell him not to raise his voice at me in my own home. Eventually I suggested he just try the tool, and if he needed help I'd assist. He asked if we could "do it together," which struck me as odd. I declined. Later, I found the wire successfully run over the joists -- using the fish tape. After calling me again about needing yet another cut, I asked him to leave. By that point, the house was extremely dirty. Drywall dust was everywhere, and the carpet was full of debris. Ted insisted on vacuuming before leaving, despite the job being unfinished and the walls and ceiling being full of holes. I told him it was fine and that he could go. He kept insisting. At one point I looked down and noticed he was standing on my carpet without foot covers, after removing the plastic I'd put down. I finally had to tell him to leave very directly. The next day, a licensed electrician came to finish and clean up the work. He installed the remaining fan with zero additional cuts except for the one required to vent it outside -- not the cuts Ted said were necessary. We actually laughed together at how bad the previous work was. He also confirmed that the new circuit Ted had run was unnecessary. After checking the fan's power requirements, he simply removed the cable Ted installed and powered the fan from the existing circuit. I'm now having him come back later this week to fix a mistake Ted made on the fan he did install. One final detail: Ted left for about two and a half hours mid-job, and when he returned, he immediately smoked a cigarette in front of my house. I'm honestly baffled by how this person has positive reviews. I regret hiring him, waiting for him, and not ending the job sooner. Ted started out sounding professional, but that professionalism did not extend to his workmanship, communication, or conduct in my home. Edit: I see this guy replied to my review! I'm disappointed to see this response mischaracterizes both my expectations and my conduct. At no point did I ask for free drywall repair, nor did I yell at or curse at anyone. The core facts remain unchanged: unnecessary drywall cuts were made, the work was left unfinished, and a licensed electrician later confirmed much of the work was unnecessary and corrected it. I've shared my experience so others can make an informed decision.
