Pierre, Elliott, and Alex assembled a large Costco swing set in our backyard. They were flexible…read moreand TOTALLY understanding despite the fact that we changed the date on them multiple times. These guys showed up when they said they would, finished when they said they would, and were completely professional from start to finish. The icing on the cake was when they tidied up the work site afterward. I have worked with lots of contractors and handymen over the years and this was a breath of fresh air. Thumbs up! BTW, the swing set turned out solid and nicely done as evidenced by our super excited 5 year old. :D

UPDATED Review: PIERRE was a very nice guy but had not shown up or called to finish the job, 3 days…read morelater, as promised. So I wrote my first review (posted above). Pierre worked hard but ended-up digging the site too deep, requiring me to purchase another $60 of rock, but that happens sometimes & is fixable so not a deal-breaker. Pierre was doing a good job of leveling the patio bricks as he built the shed base. After a few days and trying to contact him I wrote a one star review. Pierre contacted me immediately after my posting the review to let me know he had been injured on another job but hadn't contacted me yet with an update.. Given the new information, I have updated his score. I can't rate it a 5 as it's not done. If he returns for another job, he finishes it and it's a good job, I will happily update one more time to a 5-Star rating :)

I was the process of changing a kitchen faucet and discovered that the bolt was badly rusted,…read moremaking removing the faucet impossible. I gave Joe a call and he not only was able to come over within an hour, but he was able to get the rusted in faucet removed and the new one installed quickly and in perfect working order. He doesn't talk a lot, gets straight to the point, and his prices are reasonable. The next time I need something fixed, I'll be sure to give him a call!

Turns out it was a slightly bigger job than initially thought. (He had to take the drawer back and rebuild it). He was back in two days, got everything installed nicely, and our kitchen is back in business! He also insisted on honoring his original estimate! (So we tossed in a bonus for his hard work) This is someone I would recommend to friends or family. I'm certain they'll be something in the future we'll need him for, and we won't hesitate to call!

Victor & his partner Osmar just completed a 4 day job on my home which involved painting the…read moreceilings & beams (3 bedrooms, 2 hallways, family room, living & dining room), re-caulking the bathrooms, re-caulking kitchen sink, installing slate tile on the fireplace, installing a light fixture, power washing the patio, power washing the fence, fixing some dry rot on the fence, fence repair and painting the frontage of the fence. They moved the furniture to paint, and put protective covering over it and moved everything back. They even cleaned up after themselves. He did all of this with his helper in 4 days! He also did some extra things that I asked him to do. He's got a great can do attitude and is a jack of all trades. He was able to complete the job in the timeframe I asked as I was getting the house ready for an open house showing. I highly recommend him! Also, he is super reasonable and his final bill came in at estimate for the job. No surprises which is nice.

You will be very satisfied with the service he provides!

Working with general contractor Daniel Woodsum is an unmitigated pleasure! A GC costs more per hour…read morethan a "handyman" but jobs are done more quickly and correctly because of their vast experience. Daniel is a great communicator, translating what you want into an efficient series of steps to accomplish the goal. My wife praises his "economy of movement", marveling how he accomplishes goals. In our 1930s beach cottage we've hung doors, upgraded knob and tube electrical, added circuits for kitchen counters and appliances, modernized gas hookups, and are now removing some of the non-functional elements added over the last century. We unreservedly recommend Daniel, both to this online audience and our friends and neighbors, who are getting their long-overdue to-do lists ready for him. Two thumbs up.

Daniel and I scheduled a time for him to come out directly in the yelp app. Communication was great. Daniel showed up at 2 PM at the time that we were scheduled. He got straight to work, fix the ring light. We discovered that there was some other issues with the ring light. I also had an electrical outlet that was burning possibly because of a loose connection. He was able to replace the electrical outlet for my family to safely resume using it. Daniel will surely be on my short list of people to call when I need work done around the house.

Nelson has worked for us twice now and we have been really happy each time. Both jobs were sorely…read moreneeded - and Nelson and his crew did great work. They took their time and made sure the jobs were done right. When there were questions that needed answering about one aspect of the job or the other, I really appreciated Nelson's helpful advice as to the best way to go.

Thanks for all of your help!

I was locked out of the house and started calling locksmiths from the phone book. Most of the…read morecompanies with big ads were too busy or too expensive. One company would not even tell me their price over the phone and wouldn't be there for an hour, they said they would call, so I kept calling other locksmiths. We called George, he arrive same time as the other locksmith, the other guys were late & also tried to tell me it cost more because it was after 5 (we called them at 4). I went with George, he was inexpensive $50 to open the lock. He got there in 15 minutes, did not have a different rate based on the time of day. We called George again when we locked ourselves out of our new place while moving, he unlocked the screen door & showed me how to break the glass in the small window pane of the wood door when we realized that the door only unlocked from the inside. Once in the empty house he made sure it was really our place- we showed him the keys opened the door. He's a friendly & decent guy, we talked about how he used to live in the same neighborhood. Five stars for no hassle, fast arrival, working around problems, affordable, & professional. I highly recommend him.

He first came to give the estimates and the price quoted was very reasonable when compared to the market rate. His team got the job finished on time as well.
