Back in May/June 2025, I hired Handy Gentlemen for interior work on my house. It is now…read moremid-September. David, the owner, seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job replacing the tiles on my bathroom floor, and he (mostly his assistant) did a lot of painting, which on the whole looks good. But see below... The big issues were what I discovered after he was finished and had left: fresh paint stains in multiple areas, including the wood floor of my 19th century house and even furniture - which I cleaned up. Splattered paint near the ceiling of my kitchen which still, three months later, has not been patched, paint stains on my oriental rug, a major purchase 40 years ago, etc. David said he would pay for the rug damage, and I only asked for 50% of the very reasonable $175 cleaning cost. David told me to bill him via Zelle, something I said I'm not sure how to do. He already has my Zelle information, since that's how I paid him for the work. But after messaging him and emailing several times, he has not responded. And I still have paint streaks on the wall and an unpaid bill. So I can't recommend Handy Gentlemen. I think part of the problem is that David is under-manned and a bit overwhelmed, but not responding to my messages is unprofessional.

Very happy with David and his crews' work installing LVP in my small, old house with squeaky…read morefloors. Originally I had planned to go through Home Depot for purchasing & installation but was having a bad experience and decided to cancel the HD installers and hire locally and I am so glad I did! David took the time and care to prepare my subfloors with new plywood and secure it to reduce a lot of those squeaks. He advised on what would look nice for new baseboards and the final floors look beautiful, a major improvement over the old carpet! Will likely hire David the Handy Gentleman for future projects.

He did great work, and when we needed a kitchen remodel in 2022 at our new house, we called him back. Then in 2025 we needed a basement remodel.

Not only did he call me back in a timely manner but when he came out to give me the quote, he was on time. The price was very reasonable so I had him do the work and he did a great job. He kept me informed from the start of the quote until he finished the job. He treated my home like it was his which is all you ask for when you have someone doing work on your home. He was such a pleasure to work with that we promised that we would give him more work and we have. We booked him for this Wednesday.

They have redone our hallway bathroom, a full kitchen renovation and just finished redoing our master bathroom. He also gave me some ideas for a vaulted wall in our living room. Team Torres estimates have always been fair (typically the same or under others) and their work has always been impeccable. When we found a couple small issues after the bathroom reno, Josh was here the next day to fix them. Big or small job, we highly recommend Josh and his team!!

He stuck to his phone quote even though it took a tad longer to complete the job. Part of the problem was on me as I failed to tell him in advance how I wanted the shower door handles installed.

All of his work was done in a professional manner. Also importantly, when I asked him if he would lay ceramic tile, he said no; but he could refer me to a qualified person. This is important because he won't take on a job that is beyond his comfort level. That, to me, goes a long way toward earning my trust.

The owner lied about the cost of repairs and came back AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE to try and recoup losses because the employee was not familiar with doing the type of work. When I asked to get an explanation, the owner became angry and swore at me. Telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about. Do not hire this company if you need any type of work done. It is a small company that doesn't have the experience, or resources to properly repair anything.

I will update my review with more details once we have a completed project, but my communication thus far has been nothing short of amazing and just had to post this review!

Even more stressful when you don't have a go to plumber yet and need to shop around. Thankfully, it wasn't an emergency so it allowed myself and my husband the opportunity to get 4 quotes from different plumbers. My husband and I without hesitation both agreed we liked Jim the best and felt he was genuine and honest. We also could tell he was very experienced. On top of that, his pricing was very fair. Jim ended up fixing the leak by resealing our toilet, and we ended up getting a new water heater since ours was going on 17 years old and it was time. We were very happy with the whole experience from the estimate to job completion. We are lucky to now have our go to plumber and would recommend him to anyone!
