    I live in an older building and the bathtub faucets were in need of replacement. This is before photo
    Peter P.

    If you live in an older building in Hoboken, there might be a very old faucet or bathtubs spigot and also very old piping behind the wall. Notice the pictures - I had an extremely old and leaking hot and cold water handles that had very old mixers behind the wall. The after photo shows a much more modern replacement! And I'm happy with it! I had this slow leaking for over three months that was bothering me a lot and I reached out to Riverside (Robert) I think on a Wednesday and they came over and took a look.They then returned on Friday and because I live in such an old building it was a lot of work. It took them three hours - but the result I am extremely happy with. His name is Robert and I think he works with another person who is Alex. Talking to them they live nearby Hoboken and do a lot of work in Hoboken and Jersey City and Union City. Most communication is via text message Thanks again

    Robert is quick to respond and extremely professional. The kitchen faucet in my rented condo was leaking bad. I gave Robert the details and tenants contact info, he gave me the price best and worse case. Super easy. He set up the appointment w them. Turned out the faucet was busted. He let me know and even went to Home Depot to get and and go back same day to fix the sink. Wait it gets better. He saw that the grout was shoddy btwn the counter and backsplash, so he also picked up caulk and resealed the problem area. Riverside HandyMan - In! It's rare I can't wait for a new problem knowing now I got a guy!

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! The two handymen that were assigned to my project (Alex & Oscar) handled everything professionally. They were always on time! They put together all my beds, closets, tv console, drawers, shelvings, and mounted two TVs, and hung miscellaneous things around my unit. We work from home so, we had to get our office area up and running quickly and Riverside Handyman did that for us! They are honest! Trustworthy! And very reasonably priced !!! I was able to leave the handymen alone in my unit!! I hired them around 4-5 times and they worked tirelessly to get everything I needed done on time. They cleaned up after themselves and always communicated with me regarding things that needed my attention. Robert was very great at communication and scheduling and always got back to me quickly. I will definitely be using this company moving forward!

    Installed a new steam boiler

    Great job installing a new steam boiler. The worker took their time to install and did not cut corners or rush while installing. I was satisfied, and they answered all the questions to my curiosity while installing it.

    DO NOT pay this man any money up front. He came to my home to give me a quote to run an electrical…read moreline from the basement to the attic to supply electricity to an OUTLET. He said the job would take 5 hours and he would have to break the wall in my dining room to run the line which would cost $1350 plus an initial $175 consultation fee and said 1/2 the funds were due upfront so I paid him $700. Upon consultation, he noted there was an electrical box already sitting 2ft from the outlet and said if I can run a line from this box to the outlet I will only charge $175 consultation fee since there's not much work involved. He returned with a worker and was able to connect to the box next to the outlet, it took him a little over an hour to TRACE the line from the basement to the box, without have to break walls and run a hard line from the basement. He then charged me $905 and ended up requesting an I became upset. This is not what he promise. I asked him for a breakdown of what he's charging for, he said he charges for a minimum of 2.5 hours plus he needed an extra man (which he also charged for) for the job so the work was shared and both of them had to be paid and he's charging for materials?!?? There were no materials involved except that he relaxed the sockets. I did not pay him the extra $205 because to run a simple electrical line from a nearby box to an outlet does not cost $700! DO NOT pay the contractors any monies upfront. If they are legit and have a business, they should have the funds to cover the job and collect after the work is finished.

The transformation they brought to my apartment is incredible! Casey went above and beyond by returning to fix a crooked light fixture and adjusting the dimmer switch to perfection. I highly recommend his installation services--they truly make a difference!

    On January 8, 2019, I had the pleasure of being referred by Total Home Protection (more on that…read morelater) to Ahmed of Advanced Electrical Solutions LLC to repair an electrical problem when several outlets in my kitchen went dead. Although he told me he would come between 1 and 5 PM, he called around 4 to say he was running late. He came around 5 and stayed until the job was done. It was clear Ahmed was an experienced electrician who knew what he was doing. He checked the outlets and the circuit breaker panel, connecting and reconnecting various wires to diagnose the problem which he determined was both a defective circuit breaker and a defective GFI outlet. He then had to call Total Home Protection, a home warranty company, to obtain authority to make the repair for his fee. I overheard the conversation in which Ahmed advised the time spent diagnosing the problem and the costs of the replacement parts which seemed appropriate and reasonable to me. However, I was shocked to hear that the person he was talking to contested the requested charges and argued to bargain him down to a lower amount--which seemed unprofessional and cheesy. Rather than delay further, Ahmed had to accept the amount offered then had to wait (making me wait too) until it was approved--causing Ahmed to waste more time. Finally, Ahmed made the repairs and, since he found that the original defective breaker was actually was the wrong kind, he switched two breakers to ensure that the correct breaker was used. He also determined that the GFI outlet had originally been improperly wired and he corrected that too when he installed a new outlet. Ahmed completed the work quickly and neatly and checked everything to make sure all was working correctly, even though it was late and he had to spend more time than necessary (because of Total Home). In conclusion, I highly recommend Advanced Electrical Solutions. Based on the conduct of Total Home Protection and another problem I had with them previously, I do not recommend them and will not renew my policy with them.

    I found Ahmed on yelp and decided to give him a call. He was polite and kind and showed up on time…read more But instead of changing a fixture as discussed, he told me he could fix the existing fixture to get it to work again. He made a slight tweak that got the light working, charged me the full price from the original quote which all would have been fine if the light had then functioned for more than 12 hours. I called him the next morning to see if he could change the fixture like we had originally discussed and he said we could set up a time for that to happen. That was the light time I ever heard from Ahmed. After several texts and phone calls over the course of the month, I have yet to receive a response. He basically took my money and that was the end of it. You're better off not going with the cheaper rate and getting a licenses electrician that will actually get the job done. Honest work for honest pay. Definitely do not use this guy.
