He also patched up the kitchen ceiling where the tub leakage caused damage. David is consistently responsive, reliable, and professional. He may not be the cheapest, but he is transparent about pricing as well as risks he uncovers along the way behind the walls and floors, and he stands behind his warranty. After dealing with several unresponsive plumbers, I feel grateful to have his help!

I know I will continue to leverage them as we have more projects around the house.

Highly recommended!

He was very easy to communicate with. On the day of the installation he arrived on time and was very professional throughout the entire visit, making sure each piece was hung with care.

We are so pleased we called Juan! We had extensive wood rot on our patio overhang that was quickly…read moredisintegrating due to the changing spring temperatures. We created a project on Yelp, and Juan responded with a genuine reply, having clearly read our request and reviewed our pictures. We set up a time for a quote, and Juan arrived promptly as discussed. He gave us a fair quote not only for the cost but also for the time to repair. We approved the project, and Juan took it from there. He removed the rotting wood, replaced the damaged structure, painted, cleaned, and hauled away the debris. The whole time he was communicative and reliable--he arrived exactly when discussed and wrapped up the work within the time frame he estimated. We will absolutely call Juan again for any repairs around our house.

I had started the job myself but got an anchor screw stuck and figured I should have a pro step in so I didn't wreck my new walls. All the supplies were here, placed where they needed to be, holes were measured and marked for custom made rods and drapes. He charges by the hour and moves very, very slow. He didn't have his own step ladder or anchor screws. In the first hour, he managed to put in 3 screws in holes that had already been marked. He claimed he "needed to remeasure" and that's why it took so long, but he used the holes that I had already marked. He also said it was too hard to do with custom cut rods. He also said it wasn't his fault because I had an anchor screw stuck in the wall already, which was the whole reason I hired him. This is what pros do: they come prepared, know the required materials and techniques, and advise the customer on the best way to proceed. I knew we needed to cut it off when he asked me how to use an anchor screw. He didn't know if you needed to pre-drill or not for a very basic and common anchor. I cannot imagine a professional handyman not knowing that. He used a level to stare at the pre-marked holes for what seemed like an eternity, just eating up time. 3 screws = $200. Seems like a nice enough man, but handyman may not be the profession for him, and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't just trying to take advantage of someone he assumed was too naive too know how long the job should take. He became very defensive, making excuses when I said we'd need to end the job at one hour. Im sure judging by other less than 5 star reviews here (that I really wish I'd have taken the time to read) he will post a very defensive response here as well. Please just don't take a job you don't have the required expertise to complete, and I don't want to hear defensive excuses when I'm still out $200 for almost no work completed.

On May 30th, Mike Jones came to fix the light switch that controls the recessed lights in our…read moreliving room. We provided the replacement switch. We suggested that he turn off the circuit breaker but he said there was no need. He took the light switch off and got shocked. Mike continued and the lights went on. We Venmoed him $140 for time and labor. Twelve hours later, the LR ceiling lights went out along with two lamps that had been working perfectly before Mike's repair. We called him. He told us to buy another replacement switch and said he would return to fix it. He didn't We e-mailed him three times, asking that he refund the money we paid. It's now July 8th. He has never answered. We have hired a licensed electrician to ensure Mike's fix did not make the wiring unsafe, install new wiring if it isn't, to repair the light switch and the blown outlets. We intend to pursue this further and, should we ever receive the refund due us, we will add an update. We cannot recommend Renaissance Handyman & Painting and hope this review saves someone else a bad experience.

Mike did an amazing job repairing our leaky basement window! I reached out via email to show some…read morepictures of the damage. He replied back with an estimate and some times he could come out. He showed up on time, examined the window with me and laid out a plan for the repair. After working on it for a bit he brought me back down for an update: there was a lot more water damage than we expected. We made a new plan to replace more of the frame. There were a couple more surprises that kept expanding the job (more rotten wood, an old rats nest in the wall above the removed window, brick damage caused by the rotten beam bowing and not supporting the bricks above the window properly). The job ended up being a lot bigger and more expensive than expected (2.5 day job rather than 0.5 day; billing is by the hour and very straightforward), but I couldn't be happier with the work and the process. Rather than a quick patch job I ended up with a solid, long-term fix. Here are a few more reflections on working with Mike: -Great communication. Mike gave me frequent updates, walking me through what he found and what the options were. -I never felt like I was being upsold. Mike was very collaborative and empathetic when showing me problems and discussing solutions. -Mike's knowledge and skillset goes deep. If this had been a simple window sealant job with a frame board replacement I'm sure he (and probably lots of other handymen) would handle it great. But as we peeled back the onion and found more complexity it became clear how well he understands houses and how to make them work the way they're supposed to. Mike and Renaissance will definitely be my go-to for future handyman / painting / renovations needs. Thank you Mike!
