I searched Yelp for handymen in my area, and although Jim's information returned, indicating Upper…read moreMarlboro, he's actually located in Laurel. At any rate, i'm grateful for the misinformation! I contacted Jim because I couldn't have my brand new washer and dryer installed, as I didn't have the washer drain pain installed (I have a 2nd floor laundry room), and I also needed duct work repair for the dryer vent. I explained this to Jim, he confirmed this was something he could do, and he put me on his schedule for the next morning. (yaaay!!) I just moved into my home and I had all kinds of little things I needed repaired; while he was here, he installed a new smoke/carbon monoxide detector, changed my dining room chandelier, replaced my broken doorbell, and replaced a wall plug outlet. He and his assistant were so efficient, that I decided to have them install the washer and dryer that the delivery company had already scheduled to come back to do. Understand, Jim is a handyman, not a contractor. While some handymen are SUPER handy, I don't expect them to be able to do everything an actual contractor does. Jim was able to do exactly what I needed, with an excellent response time and reasonable rates. His number is permanently saved in my phone, and I will without a doubt, refer him to others.

We hired Jim Brines upon recommendation to install a storage area underneath a set of stairs. Under…read morethe terms of our contract, Jim was to cut a hole for the door, install a door, and paint the door. Unfortunately, we had to have him come back 3 times to try to fix the door. When we hired Jim, we were lead to believe would be a simple project. However, in the end, we were left with a door for the storage area that is not cut properly, not painted as he promised, and looks shoddy. During the first installation of the door, Jim used recycled materials from his shop, rather than purchasing new materials as he promised he would. The door was badly warped, and cut unevenly. He also did not paint the door as he indicated he would both verbally and on the estimate sheet. Jim told us to give the door a week to see if it would somehow straighten itself out. When it didn't, we sent him several emails until he finally admitted he too was displeased with the quality of his work and agreed to replace the door with stronger wood that "would not warp."When he replaced the door, he was also supposed to install a special magnet to keep the door closed. He ended up forgetting it and promised he would send it in the mail for my husband to install. After several more emails, we got our magnet. The door began warping again so badly that we could not even open it. (and no it was not in a damp area like a basement). Jim said he would come remove the door and replace it. It took several emails to him to commit to a date. When he took the door we were left with a big gaping hole under our stairs and he said it would only take a week. I had to send countless emails and place calls to find out the status of our project, and each time I was either met with a rude response or given a different excuse, which all conflicted with each other and made no sense. When he FINALLY came to reinstall the door, he simply had brought back the original door he had removed a month ago!!! And when we asked him point blank about it, he told us that we could take it up with small claims court since he already had out money. Given his rudeness, inability to complete a project as promised, inability to meet deadline, and the end result of our product, I would never use him and would advise others not to as well.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Castillo Projects. From our initial…read moreconsultation to the final walk-through, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. We hired them for a major kitchen renovation and were blown away by their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality. Carlos was communicative, transparent, and incredibly knowledgeable. They kept us informed every step of the way, and there were no surprise costs or delays. The crew was punctual, respectful of our home, and their craftsmanship is second to none. They treated our project as if it were their own. The finished kitchen is even better than we imagined. We are so grateful to have found a construction company that is not only skilled but also trustworthy and easy to work with. I would recommend Castillo Projects to anyone without hesitation. A true five-star experience!

STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!…read more I made a terrible and horrible mistake of employing the services of a handyman named Carlos who told me he was the owner of Faith-Based Handyman Services, to install some vanity tops, lights, etc. I chose the company because of the ratings and the name Faith-Based. I would rate it less than one star if I could. I have given it a lot of thought before rating Mr. Carlos as the representative of Faith-Based Handyman Services. I have always looked for goodness in a person and I do my best to be fair with everyone. My conscience would not allow me to keep silent and not share my experience with prospective customers regarding Mr. Carlos of Faith-Based Handyman Services. Mr. Carlos is an incompetent, arrogant handyman with a nasty attitude and has a serious integrity issue. He is the dumbest handyman I have ever dealt with--the dumbest of the dumb. He lacks very basic plumbing and handyman knowledge and has caused significant water damage to my home due to his incompetence. He attempted to fix three water leaks he caused to my home four times and has admitted to me that he did not know what else to do to fix the leaks. He lacks candor. He damaged the ring that connected the piping together and the knob in my shower stalls and attempted to conceal it until I confronted him, which he admitted it was caused by his wrench. His level of incompetence is absolutely stunning. He has no equal. You cannot and will not find a dumber handyman. The lighting system does not work properly, which is similar to what he did with the connection of the water lines, which are still leaking. He has left a bucket underneath the faucet, which has been collecting water ever since. I have contacted him on various occasions to inform him of the substandard job he had done and each time he had an excuse for not coming. He either said he was in class; his truck overheated; he had a scheduling conflict and finally he stopped responding to my texts and emails while he kept my money. I kept plenty of photographic and written evidence of the damages he has caused to my home for appropriate action. I would not hire him under any circumstance. Mr. Carlos is a sorry example of a handyman and is a bad example to the honest, knowledgeable and hard working handymen that perform quality work for their customers. Do not waste your money and your time. If you care about honesty, quality work and your property DO NOT HIRE him under any circumstance--STAY AWAY.
