I'm fairly certain hiring El Proyecto was the best decision made in the 35 year history of the home that my family has owned since building, and that I still proudly reside in. I was looking for help with hardwood flooring installation on short notice. Grace told me Alex was the best at what he does, and he does it all. She also promised me that this was a good man who would price the project properly. She was right on both counts. I was hesitant because I kept running into difficulty finding someone who would give me a fair estimate and also allow me to watch and learn the process so I could do other areas myself. Grace told me what price Alex would not exceed, but said that he would prefer to look up close before giving definitive estimate. I was hesitant, but Grace also said Alex would have no problem letting me watch and even helping me learn. I went with Grace and Alex, and my gut, and am so happy I did! It's not just that El Proyecto didn't exceed the sun Grace promised, they came in considerably under that mark. Alex showed me the ropes and helped undo the faulty start I attempted, with kindness. I'm watching videos to try and learn myself, I kept seeing that you should use a computer program to plan, or at least graph paper. I didn't have time for all that, so was just laying boards down. Alex didn't need a computer or paper though. He had a pencil and made small markings on the boards, then cut them with a hand saw, often just in the air. He made a pile of smaller pieces. I figured that was a discard pile of some sort. Wrong again. Instead, Alex fit those smaller pieces into smaller areas. The work he did was impeccable, and he even came back the next day to finish the job AND to help fix the staircase I broke when moving an adjustable bed frame to the garage on my own. Oh, and he also single-handily moved a desk from the garage into the newly floored room for me. See, Alex is not just good at this work. He is a genius at what he does. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Grace, because she posted the listing, and was my point of communication, and stayed the entire time to help translate. Beyond all that, I have never met anyone with more emotional intelligence than Grace. This is a dynamic duo, and El Proyecto gets my highest recommendation. They are my go-to for all home needs, and I'm proud to see the picture of Alex's hands installing my flooring featured here on his Yelp page as well. I've included three pictures of my own. The first is my failed attempt at installation. The second is the start of Alex's work. Third is completed projected. Oh, and Alex helped me get that bed back in there too. El Proyecto, Alex and Grace are Awesome All Around. Thank you all!!! read more
