House painting is more than cosmetic, primer and paint protects siding in particular from damage…read more I have older siding, some of which was replaced due to water damage, I wanted to protect what was remaining. The Gonzalez contract stated scraping of old paint is included, but the team refused to scrape paint off my siding saying they don't do that. I brought it up with the foreman multiple times. Well, most of the exterior of my house is siding, so I would never have signed the contract if that was stated at the outset. See the attached photo for how they just spray paint over peeling paint. I called the owner and left a message but there was no return call. I won't get into other issues, but for this reason alone, I am giving 1 star.

Ian Williams is my brother, so I'm obviously biased, but his handyman work and contracting work is…read moresuperb! He gave my husband and me the gift of the installation of a custom fold-down cutting board where a rickety fold-down ironing board used to be. This, of course, was totally his idea because he's creative like that. The cutting board is beautiful, solid, and functional, adding 30% more surface area to our kitchen. It's far superior to the ironing board that was there previously. He used top notch parts, sourced from specialty cabinet makers, to construct it. Ian was also timely and cleaned up after himself. I would feel confident hiring Ian for bigger projects, as I have seen him helping his former employer (my Dad) build bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and more. Sure, I may be his sister, but I'm his older sister and thus prone to harsh judgement... so you know you can trust my review, and Ian with all of your handyman needs.

Ian reframed our space and created a luxurious corner shower complete with an inset shelf for shampoo. His tiling job was excellent! He also thought to create a handy door to a water shut off that will be a huge help if we have issues in the future! Despite having a full bath steps from our bedroom, my husband and I both shower in the basement now, enjoying our spa-like retreat from Hilltop Renovations! Ian was a considerate worker while in our home. He took care of our living spaces by laying drop cloths and covering furniture to minimize drywall dust. He was super pleasant and personable--the dog missed him when our job was done. We highly recommend Ian for your next project. Margot and Nathan D.

While the addition work was being done, I noticed the floors beginning to slope downward in two rooms of the house. I pointed this out to Ashley Hayes, but he denied there was any change. Now the floors of those two rooms, as well as two closer to the addition, are slanted even more. Also, the stairs have begun to pull away from the wall (see photos) so that there is now a visible gap between the risers and the molding. The stairs and floors now squeak and give when walking on them.

Love that kept on their masks during Covid-19 pandemic, despite the hot weather!

We contracted with Space Builders for numerous projects in the Fall of 2012. Our experience with…read morethem was decidedly mixed. Two large projects ended in total disaster, and we had to pay to have the work redone by other contractors. One was the removal of mold and sealing our crawl space. The other was adding insulation to our attic. Both projects were done by subcontractors that Space Builders had not used before. The sealing of the crawl space failed within a year and had to be redone. Even though the failure occurred within the one-year warranty period, Space Builders did not agree to pay for the rework. We eventually ended up in mediation, and Space Builders agreed to pay part of the price for the rework. The attic insulation project caused moisture problems in our dining room, living room, and bedroom ceilings. We had to find contractors to remove the insulation that Space Builders had installed, to remove the extensive mold that had formed behind the insulation on the roof deck, and to repair our ceilings. In another smaller project, Space Builders installed a new granite kitchen counter. We were unhappy with the look of the counter because it was not cut from the part of the stone that we had picked out. We brought this to their attention, but they did not act upon the complaint in a timely manner. By the time they sat down with us and understood our complaint (and they did finally say "Yes, I see what you mean") it was too late to do anything about it. During the project, we would walk through the house and discuss what we wanted to have done. Sometimes we would discuss several things, and we thought we had come to an agreement. Later, after the work was performed, there would be a disagreement about what had been decided. For example, Space Builders remembered there was a decision to widen a door, and we didn't remember it that way. But the decision had not been written down, so there was no way to prove whose memory was correct. And there were pieces of the project with which we were satisfied. We wanted to turn a small space in our house into a laundry room. Space Builders came up with a solution for using the space. They built a shoe rack and room for a cat litter box underneath a counter. When it was clear that the dimensions were not quite right, they redid it so that it would work. In another piece of the project, they built some pocket doors so that we could create an enclosed room. We wanted to keep our cats in that room at night, but the cats found a way to open the doors and escape. Space Builders worked with us to find a solution that kept the cats enclosed at night. Based on our experience with Space Builders, we would say this: If you decide to hire them, make sure the work will be done by subcontractors that Space Builders has worked with in the past. Don't let them go outside their comfort zone. Even though you will pay them significant sums of money to supervise the work of subcontractors, if the project is one that they are not completely familiar with, there is no guarantee that the work will be done correctly. And if something does go wrong, you cannot count on Space Builders to resolve the problem.
