I hope I reviewed Dustin's perfect fix of our pool gate kick plate and then the following year, the…read moregate lock strike plate. If not, he did a wonderful and beautiful job. Such a pro. Today I took Dustin the neck rod out of my sister's beloved stuffed giraffe. A child had hung on the giraff's neck and broken the joint. Dustin welded a sleeve onto the neck rod and it fit over the broken stub inside the neck as if it were made for it. Perfect fix again. Thanks, Dustin! p.s. I live in Santa Rosa and drove to Fairfield for this. That's how much I trust Dustin's work and ingenuity. Seriously, anything to do with metal, this guy knows his stuff.

The price was very reasonable. We were very happy with the results. He even fixed our yard gate without us asking for it. We highly recommend Mike for his quality work and willingness to go above and beyond!

Excellent handyman. We've used Mike twice and found him to be responsive and a very good problem…read moresolver for handyman tasks. He's fixed our pull out drawers in kitchen cabinets that failed with too much weight being placed on them from heavy silverware or cast iron pots. He has steadied bathroom accessories and towel racks that became rickety and unstable, fixed doors that were sticking and slamming and were generally off alignment and has secured tub hardware that had come lose. He is efficient with his time, both times we used him. His minimum is two hours of work, so we are always ready with a long list of items, and he routinely will knock them all out (and them some) before his time is done. Recommend.

Super fast After we scheduled the work, his guys did the work super fast and clean. Really appreciate their professionalism, cleanliness, and friendly attitude.

We came to Gianola after a defective, poorly installed shade sail left us with a dangerous,…read moredrooping mess, the result of a DIY setup that was never engineered for our wind conditions. From our first call with Lia, through Kenneth's careful site visit, to the final installation, every step felt handled with real expertise and genuine care. These guys are total pros! They accommodated our extremely tight timeline without hesitation and communicated clearly at every stage. The finished result is a 700-square foot, beautifully taut, properly engineered, and completely different set up from what we had before. Total game changer! (And we are ready for the wind!) We could not be happier and will be recommending Gianola to anyone who needs shade sail or awning work done right. Rock stars!

Quite simply, they exemplify excellence at every level. We too asked for a new canvas awning fabrication for a south facing upstairs window to cut down on the summer direct sun and the resulting heat transfer through the glass. The installers just left a few hours ago, so I haven't experienced any 90 degree + days, but I'm confident the design will accomplish my goals. Gianola was communicative, responsive and comitted...exactly what I want in an artisan trade contractor. Five stars all the way.

Disappointing experience overall…read more Verbal bid was given of 10k to 11k for the job over a FaceTime phone call as the project was explained. I politely asked if he could please try to keep it near the 10k. Written bid came in over 11k. (11,700$) Discussed that the bracing for the large metal stairs should probably be secured by something more than anchoring into stucco. To add proper supports the bid goes up again to over 12k. (12,800$) I would have liked a more professional experience where pricing didn't keep changing and for Christian to take the lead on making the stairs braced correctly and safely from jump. He kept saying this is simple we don't need to discuss the job so much. Also I had originally texted him to FaceTime me when he was onsite. He was on time but didn't respond to my texts. Had to wait 20 minutes for a response. He already left the job. Had to drive back to the job to be able to Facetime me. It is a large job that involves a lot of safety concerns. Was really looking for more professionalism to have the job bid correctly from the beginning and the scope of the job to be discussed throughly on time to get it created safely.

Sadly, I no longer recommend this business. Erik used to be professional and focused but he is…read morenothing like that now. He is late. Will break things and not let you know. He left the last job on which he was supposed to fix some blinds that he hung lop sided. They looked great except the mechanism that raises and lowers them no longer works on one side. It is a fight to get it up or down. Erik left without saying a word about it and won't return to correct his error. I guess I should have checked it out with all the mistakes he's made lately. I had his help with a recent move and he did not follow directions well at all. He didn't put the cat drinking water fountain in the car like he had been asked to. Instead he put it in his truck and broke the main ceramic dish. Then he didn't tell us about it until I texted him two days later when I couldn't locate it to set it up. If he had been a professional and let us know we could've ordered a replacement immediately. He helped pack a room for me but ended up making the unpacking so much more difficult because he added the numbers 1 and 2 to the boxes. Those were my numbers for boxes to be opened immediately. Because he added them to another 15 boxes I ended up with a huge stack that had to be unpacked in order to get to the ones that really did need to be unpacked immediately. He was supposed to set up the TV but didn't have the connection cables and didn't ask me for them. So I ended up doing it myself early the next day before Comcast came out. He set up a portable air conditioner without the drain hose which caused some stuff to get wet. I've had someone else fix this. Erik strung us out for hours and completely bailed on one occasion.

He's an excellent communicator and very easy to work with.
