I will certainly be using the tips you gave me on maintaining the backsplash and caring for my stainless steel appliances. I knew you were the man for the job!!

It took awhile to schedule with him and I was very patient to follow up. Once I decided on which…read morerepairs he could do, he was quick to follow up on my down payment. He scheduled to do my home repair on Saturday and then the day before states he has to do another job and start Monday when I was told after all my patience he would put mine at the top of the list. Throughout all of this a hail storm went through Carrollton requiring me to replace my whole roof. I found out my roofer can do the jobs I requested him to do covered under my insurance claim. I explained that to him I needed to cancel due to this. I have been honest, professional, and patient. I don't mind paying a cancellation fee(though I believe $120 is too high), but his response was very unprofessional and I would never work with him because of it. See pictures of his text. He claims I screwed with his time, but in the end he has weeks of mine.

Alex from ALR came in and fixed everything, separating the switches so everything worked properly. He was awesome. Super friendly, worked quickly (maybe 50 minutes to do all three!), and the pricing was really fair. While he was here, I also asked him to take a look at our back patio. The same day, he got a quote from his team for extending it, which was super convenient. I can't recommend ALR enough! I've already shared their contact info with a few friends and family in the area. Thanks again, Alex!

We recently hired Tarko Pros to redo the master bath and paint kitchen cabinets for the home we…read morejust purchased and I am glad that we did. Not only were we very happy with the end result but we were impressed how the process itself went pretty smoothly. Brandon, the owner, is very professional and was really great to work with. He is very responsive and kept us informed each step of the way. He initially estimated that the projects would take 2 weeks, and they were able to meet that expected timeline, with even a few days to spare, so we were able to move in early. If we saw something that we weren't 100% satisfied with, he made sure they came back out and fixed it to our liking. I highly recommend Brandon and his team if you are in the market to do some upgrades to your home. Thanks guys!

We've searched for a long time for a great handyman to help us on projects around the house. We…read morewere so blessed when Brandon of Tarko Pros Home Solutions was recommended to us! We've used his help to work on different issues that come with buying an older house in Texas like retapping, painting and finishing walls, covering the patio, installing different doors and appliances and the list can go on. He will come over, assess and price the project and completion time and that's where your worries end. He doesn't charge for extra trips to stores or other dishonest ways other companies were squeezing every dime to increase your frustrations and bottom line. He is honest, friendly, hard working and efficient - trust me, after endless unfinished projects or poorly executed finding Brandon was a Godsend. I have recommended him to all my family and friends!

I waited almost a full year to post this review so that I could wait and write a clear and concise…read morereview that wasn't shaded by disappoint or anger. So here goes: I preface this review by stating that I know that most renovations, if not all, run into snags. Delays, errors, miscommunications happen and is a regular part of the industry. I work in building products myself (14 years now) and have an understanding of the remodeling process. The TLDR of the following is: Do not proceed with 19Squared. The pitch is perfect, but delivery is lacking. Poor communication, poor craftsmanship, at a high cost are what we encountered. I reached out to three other remodeling companies, one I had even used before on a project, before choosing 19Squared. Scott Sefton is a very good salesman in the sense that he can gain your confidence quickly. He said when we first spoke that they are not the cheapest, but they do things right. He only made good on one of those things. I had a feeling things would go south when they showed up one day early than the scheduled date to start the project. From then on, we had to chase them down to get any information on what was happening next, who was doing it, and when were they going to do it. Turns out they only have one guy that they hire to do the bulk of the work post-demo or at least that was the case for us, and that poor dude is clearly spread thin. We were told our itty-bitty kitchen would take 3-4 weeks. It took 4 months. The communication with us as well as between themselves was just really bad and decisions were made that we didn't approve or have a change order for that resulted in more work needing to be done. I can handle a few snafus as long as there is an open line of communication and acknowledgement of the issues reported. Several times we brought up a problem, it was not acknowledged by Scott and he deflected and got defensive. He left his project manager, Joel, in charge of dealing with the issues, but it seemed like communication between Scott and Joel was not any better than their communication with us. Turns out that when you hire 19Squared, you are really hiring Fernandez Remodeling which appears to consist of 2 people. So, if you have two people running several jobs, I can imagine the quality of the work and the speed of the projects will suffer tremendously. At the end of the day, Scott is the salesman who takes your money and then you don't ever really hear from him again. Every time I had to contact him about something he would always say, "Oh we're ahead of schedule." But every time I asked him exactly what that schedule was, he deflected and it was not in the contract. Point is, there isn't a schedule. You are at their mercy, and they have all of your money. Once we discovered all the very expensive hardware we ordered was installed crooked on our cabinets, we had had it. This was AFTER other problems. We took the keypad off the door and sent them notice. From there we let them fix a few things, then gave them the boot. Afterward, we had our plumber come replace the cheap parts installed under the sink that kept leaking and have since finished some of the painting and other things on our own. We also had to get the grout entirely redone because after two attempts to grout the floor, the grout kept coming out discolored and uneven. We had to touch up all the walls and the paint on the cabinets isn't even. There are also blotches in the lower cabinet stain and a lot of drip marks from the clear coat. We discovered recently they installed the storm door upside down and threw out the magnets that were supposed to help keep it stay shut and one of the cabinets now has a crack in it. They have a 1-year workmanship warranty, but there is no way I am letting them touch a thing in my home again. It's a shame that we didn't get the same kind of professional treatment it seems other reviewers did. Presuming the authenticity of the reviews that is. We were led to believe that trades experts would be completing the job, but the result was a very expensive hand-man job and we still aren't done fixing things.

UDATE INCLUDED Below! DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY! DO NOT PAY HIM IN ADVANCE!! I have to take him to court…read moreto get my money back for services he failed to provide. !!UPDATE! HIS RESPONSE IS AGAIN MORE LIES. I have all the texts and phone call records To prove it. He has 1 5 star review. I did not say anything to him as he left. He makes up anything he wants and pretends it's truth. RUN from this unscrupulous person. Yeah I dropped a couple f bombs in some of my responses because he frustrates you beyond reason with lies. He owes me $160 before court costs. I offered a $100 settlement and he refused. He wants to give me just $25! I would give negative stars, if I could. I have never had to write a review like this. You can see my posts and usually, if someone misleads a little, I let it go. Once he has your money, he will figure out a way to get close to $100/hour. He will fabricate fees that he never mentions when you enter a "contract" with him and chargEd you for parts he recycles from other jobs and claim he bought them for you. He has yet to provide me any reciept for a light switch that was not In a package. He also asked if he could have my brand new ceiling fans, he took down. He was so great when I called him because I had someone else not show up and I had painters coming the next day. He said his work is phenomenal and he normally charged $85/hour BUT if I pay him $500 for 8 hours IN ADVANCE, I get "deal." IT IS NO DEAL! He came 1st day and was absolutely great for 1.5hours and I gave him his check, for services in advance. I was flustered and rushed to get him out and get more things done before I needed to get more done before painters came the next morning. HE LOVES to kill time with chattiThat's not good when you're paying by the hour! He also wants you to give him buildings codes and access to your place without you there. This is so he can then "pad his bill.". He complained about not being able to be there by himself on two counts. He is the poster boy for "bait and switch!" I wrote an incorrect hour time on my check. I called and texted him the next morning and he confirmed I have 8 hours for $500. I also have that in writing. He also confirmed he would come at scheduled time we agreed upon for Friday, OCt. 7th at 4:30pm and I didn't contact him Again until he contacted me that Friday. He called before our scheduled time and asked if I'm back in town? I said, umm I told you I had an appointment here in Dallas that would take me to about 4pm so 4:30pm is still the time. He launched into a whole thing about the fact he is at another job and he will be late and wanted to push out the time scheduled a week in advance. I said no, not acceptable To move to another day. I have other contractors coming that need your things done and I need them done personally as well. He finally shows up 2.5 hours late. He was clearly irritated about this. He also left for 20 minutes, "to get something from his truck" as I was on the phone with my fiancé the whole time and was opening the door to find him and he comes up the stairs with yet another fabricated story about being locked out. He had his phone and could text or call for the code to glass doors he so easily "forgot" Had he showed up at our agreed scheduled time, he could have completed everything and our contract could have been satisfied that night. He brings out this unpackaged almond dimmer light switch and I say, what is this? He says, it matches your other outlets... umm NO it does not?! All bathroom covers outlets are white??? We exchanged words, I left him to just get the job done and had to have his mismatched switch installed to make sure the light works. He was done at 11:03 pm and started 7:05pm,confirmed in text,)& completed 4 hours of work. I texted next day and thanked him for installing my light. He completed 5.5 hours of total work At this point. He texts me I only have 1.5 out of 2.5 hours left!?!? I say, 7-11 is 4 hours. He responds correct but, I went shopping and you owe me $65 for "supplies" and 1 hour to shop. I said no way. You already stated you do not charge for ANY trips to Home Depot.As a "handyman" he is there frequently and can pick up things for multiple clients on his trips. It's not my problem you procrastinated, nor do I owe a penny for a almond fixture. He is welcome to get it! He proceeded to argue with me, make up false excuses, and then tell me to just take a $25 refund for 2.5 hours of work. Of course I said NO! He continues to change his story-change times-alter things said and I have two witnesses that directly contradict what he says. His texts, I also have photographed, and printed his texts that contradict each other. He is a liar and a scammer. DO NOT TRUST HIM OR GIVE HIM A PENNY IN ADVANCE. If you want him for a quick job you pay AFTER he is done, 1st time great.pay in advance, he is HORRIBLE and ARGUMENTATIVE And will 100% lie
