    Left word early this week, via voicemail, and have yet to hear back…read more Guessing at this time "Handy William" does not have the bandwidth to respond to potential new customers... (or perhaps is inactive?) Thank You.

    Five out of five stars for this stellar business!…read more We have an old home that we've slowly been doing some repairs/updates on, and friends, let me tell you, finding trustworthy, honest, caring contractors that do beautiful, high-quality work is no small feat. That combo is hard to come by these days. I found William and his wonderful crew here on Yelp, and was excited to do our home improvement project with them. We needed repair of a water-damaged ceiling in a spare bedroom, along with some painting, to really freshen up the dated, not-very-cozy-look of the room. Not only did they stunningly repair/paint the room, they went above and beyond what we originally had planned. They encountered more severe cracks in our walls than anticipated, and spent more time and material repairing things properly. Now, I figured this, of course, would raise the amount on our invoice substantially; but when we received our bill from William, he charged us our originally agreed upon amount. William's moto is to not charge his clients more than what is agreed upon in advance, so there are no surprises. Talk about character and integrity! We were deeply touched by that and very appreciative. This is a rare thing in these times where prices seem to be soaring, yet the quality of the work is declining. So, thank you William (and Eleazar!) for taking such loving care of our personal space, and treating us with such respect and care. You are rare gems in these times! Looking forward to more projects together to beautify our home.

    I had a generally positive experience working with Vlad and his company. Vlad was very responsive,…read morecommunicated clearly throughout the project, and stuck closely to the agreed scope of work. My main concern was that the work became rushed toward the end. The biggest issue was with the polyaspartic garage floor coating. Properly stripping and sanding the broadcast flakes is one of the most important steps, and unfortunately it wasn't done thoroughly. There were multiple sections inside the garage where flakes were left protruding enough to catch on a mop, and the outside concrete slab extension was never properly sanded along the edge before the final coat, leaving a rough, unfinished appearance. I ended up spending a couple of days sanding those areas and applying another top coat myself. That same attention to detail was missing during the smart lock installation. The installer was clearly rushing, dismissed my suggestion to check the manufacturer's instructions, and insisted he knew what he was doing. The lock initially failed its self-test, and although he made a few adjustments, I could tell he was still rushing through it. Frustrated, I told him to leave it and that I would finish it myself. After they left, I discovered the lock wasn't working properly at all. I ended up removing it completely and reinstalling it over the weekend, following the manufacturer's instructions, modifying the door so the deadbolt could fully extend without friction, installing the correct strike plate, and getting everything working as intended. To Vlad's credit, he offered to come back and reinstall the smart lock properly and to inspect the garage floor after I raised my concerns, which I appreciated. That's why this is still a 4-star review instead of a lower rating. Overall, I would work with Vlad again because of his communication, responsiveness, and willingness to stand behind the job. That said, next time I would make sure every agreed detail is documented in writing, and I would not make the final payment until the garage floor had fully cured and I had the opportunity to do a complete walkthrough with Vlad. Since you can't walk on a freshly applied polyaspartic top coat, the floor couldn't be properly inspected until after it had cured, and by then the issues with the finish had become apparent.
