    Before - broken cedar gate post
    Paul C.

    I called Oleksander at Alex Star Service for a fence repair after heavy winds damaged my fence. He was at the house with an estimate in an hour and began work the same day immediately after procuring the supplies. He bettered two other estimates. The repairs included replacing a a broken cedar gate post with treated lumber and replacing two capping boards that had blown off. I would call him again.

    First off, thank god for yelp. This is where I found Alex to repair or replace my wood gate. He showed up when he said he would and if you read any of the other reviews then you guessed correctly there was a bit of a language barrier. Was it a problem? Heck no, google translate can help with any major language in the world. He left after inspecting my gate and I expected him to text me a quote for labor and materials. I thought he was not coming back and went for a jog. About an hour and a half after he left he shows back up at my house with all of the necessary material to do the job. Okay, so I'm thinking he is just dropping everything off; no he showed up to complete the job. He rebuilt my 6ft gate in a little over 2 hours! He is a damn hard worker that I would not hesitate to rehire. So yes, I highly recommend his quality workmanship. He stayed at my place till 11:20pm!

    Broken leg joint.

    See all

    He came prepared to do the job! Very nice and efficient. He took care to ensure none of our merchandise was affected by dust.

To me, his number one goal is to deliver a quality product without cutting corners. He is adept with his communication and listening skills. He is very clean, he partitions his work area with plastic sheeting, not allowing dust to spread throughout your home. He cleans up every evening prior to going home. Luis successfully bade and completed two very complex jobs on time and on budget. Job 1: Remove exterior door, concert landing, replace 2 sheets of exterior siding, frame and insulate the existing opening. Hang drywall to the interior seamlessly matching the existing walls and paint. Conclusion: Luis completed the job in 3 days. Viewing the interior and exterior of my home, you'd never know an exterior door existed at the previous location. All remnants of the landing were gone. Job 2: Luis expertly hand painted (two coats) my 2000 sq ft home and elongated 2 car garage. He was very detail oriented, painting the house, trim and doors. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Mr. Luis Lopez Handyman a solid 10 for the 2 different jobs he completed for me.

He was very respectful of our home, removing his shoes without being asked.

I would recommend Loyal Handyman as a reliable, responsive company that gets the job done right.

Things don't always go as planned & repairs aren't always as simple as when you start from scratch. A faucet repair I had done didn't go as planned. Joe, the owner reached out to me & made things right. He truly seems like he wants to make his company the best it can be. I appreciate that kind of integrity and honesty in a company and will work with them again in a heartbeat. It's not easy finding people you can trust for home odd jobs. If my mom lived in Illinois, this is the company I'd call to help her. Initially, I had a snag with this company after scheduling them to come out and they cancelled at the last minute on the day of the appointment. The owner worked with me and after listening to my mini-tirade agreed to set up an another appointment. They seemed open to constructive criticism to set them apart from other companies. The fan was installed pretty quickly (it wasn't a straightforward install) and I felt the service was reasonably priced. I'll be happy to recommend them and use them in the future for other home repairs.

Instead, I was asked to pay nearly $3,000 more--before anything had even begun. I canceled the contract per its own terms and requested a refund. Since then, I've sent multiple emails, certified letters, and even a legal complaint draft. No response. No refund. Nothing. I see from at least one other post from March 2025 that I'm not alone-- Mike W. on Yelp described almost the exact same experience. Same timeline, same silence, same result. This is no longer just my story--it's a pattern. I've tried every private channel to resolve this. Posting here is a last resort. I'm still open to resolving this professionally, and I'll gladly update this review if that happens. But for now, I want other homeowners to know what I experienced.
