    Rudy Lopez and his techs are awesome. RLC is a proud family operation. We engaged RLC for an…read moreextensive mitigation-rehabilitation residential project. The bigger companies with name recognition were unwilling to accept this challenge. Rudy stepped up and made it happen. RLC is a one stop shop for your construction needs; interior, exterior, residential, commercial, etc. Rudy's can do attitude and his customer 1st approach is difficult to find in today's market place. Give Rudy a chance to draft a proposal for your next project. I am sure you will be pleased with his competitive numbers, his creative solutions and completely satisfied with his workmanship.

    Rudy and his team did a wonderful job repairing and refreshing our deck and screened porch. He…read moreresponded to our inquiry quickly, got back to me right away when I had questions, and was able to complete the job more quickly than we expected. We had them replace the ripped porch screens, power wash railings, roof, and the entire exterior of the house, as well as clean the gutters. They also replaced our old lousy gutter guards. Rudy did several walk arounds with me during the project to show me the progress and point out areas of concern, such as places where there were gaps in the existing deck trim that had caused water damage under the fascia. They were able to replace all of the rotting boards and added new trim to cover the gaps, which we hadn't planned on, but it made the deck much more sound and looks great, even better than before! He also pointed out that a number of our other old window screens around the house were frayed or torn, and offered to replace them while they were there, at a very fair price. The entire deck/porch looks new again. His team took care to carefully clean up the work site before they left. This is a family business, and they were consistently kind and very responsive. We will definitely use them again for future projects.

    George was phenomenal. Nailed the agreed upon schedule in December, 2025. No delays. No surprises…read more Excellent attention to detail. Excellent communications. We are extremely happy with the new look of our kitchen. Especially nice was a conversion of the pantry from closet style doors to cabinet style doors, as you can see in the pictures. We highly recommend West Hartford Finishing.

    I hired George just a week ago for a cabinet project based on a referral. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience has been HORRIBLE. Initially, the estimate lacked any detailed information and any scope of work... just a price. When I insisted we met to clarify, his price was $1000 more than the original price and it became clear the scope of work he had in mind did not align with my expectations. The cost was then raised significantly more than that to be almost $3k more than the original estimate, which I could not afford. George said he would call me back that evening after looking at the numbers to see if he could do better. He did not ever call. The next day, when I decided to hold off due to budget concerns, I communicated this respectfully. (I never signed any contract) In response, I received a series of unprofessional and harassing messages from George, the owner, (at 4:30 am!) including insults (calling me stupid several times) and inappropriate language. ("FU") This level of disrespect and unprofessionalism is unacceptable and left me shocked. I recommend steering clear of west Hartford Finishing.

    How Many Mr. Handymen Does It Take to Change a Lightbulb? *…read moreA small patch (less than a foot square) of wallpaper near my stairway needed to be replaced with a carefully-matched piece from spare paper that I had retained for many years. Kirk at Mr. Handyman had done a similar job a while back, and I decided to ask for him to do the job again. Because I am a bit lazy, I also bundled three other relatively small tasks with the job, which was probably a mistake in retrospect: replacing an inconveniently-located smoke detector, patching a small hole in a living room wall, and replacing burned-out, motion-sensitive security lights around the perimeter of my house (five sets of two lights each.) When Kirk came on October 22nd, I explained each of the tasks; we examined the various areas needing work, and he provided me with an estimate of $842, which I thought was very high. However, being lazy, I decided to go along with it just to get these jobs done and off my to-do list. Kirk told me that he would probably need a second worker to hold the ladder on some of the lights. I offered to hold the ladder for him, but he told me that it would be impossible due to company policy. Kirk generated the estimate on his tablet computer; I approved it and just assumed that he had sent a copy to my email. That was my second mistake. Kirk did an excellent job on the wallpaper and completed similarly well-done work on the wall and the smoke detector. All the work took no more than an hour or so. What I thought to be the simplest task, the light replacement was the exception. Kirk, who has a competent, truthful, and trustworthy appearance, told me that he had replaced both lights on one light set and one light on another (which now will not turn off), but that the second one needed to be checked-out further. He said that the remaining three sets would require a second worker and that he would return to complete the remaining work. He asked me to pay in full for the four tasks and said that he would take care of the unfinished work. I paid for the work and assumed that I would be receiving the invoice that I had signed on his tablet computer. That was my third mistake: I have received neither an invoice nor a written estimate. I took Kirk at his work and expected to be notified when he would return to finish the work. Much to my surprise, my wife received an email estimate the next morning from Mr. Handyman for $1,098.00 to finish the work which I had already paid for. The sheer creativity and hilarious ridiculousness of this estimate is a museum piece of incompetence and "hate your customer" corporate strategy. See the attached estimate for your amusement. I assumed that this was some silly mistake, and that was my fourth mistake. I called Kirk at the number on his business card to ask him about this seeming misunderstanding . A rather unpleasant lady answered the telephone and told me that they did not let their workers make calls out but that she would answer my questions. I explained the situation to her, and she told me that she herself had made the estimate and that I could like it or lump it. So, they want more than another one-thousand dollars for probably a half-hour's work to screw in a few lightbulbs and to check out a sensor. Wow!! Amazing!! Kirk does excellent work, and I believe that he is also diligent and honest. However, I will certainly never do business with these people again. If anyone happens to read this: You have now been warned. * The Lightbulb Joke has been around for decades, humorously targets various groups, and has any number of right answers. The most common answer is: "Three -- one to hold the light bulb and two to turn around the ladder."

    The price I was charged for the services provided at my house was completely unacceptable. The…read morecompany quotes the work while at your house, ready to begin the work. I was quoted $514 to install 4 very simple window blinds and a bathroom towel rack. The tasks took just a bit over an hour to complete. The cost should have been, at the very most, $150. If I had not been home alone with the handyman inside my house, I would have rejected the quote. Instead, I allowed him and the company to gouge me, a senior citizen. Steer clear of this company and its shameful predatory tactics.
