He takes the time to explain the details so we can make the best decision for our home and to ensure there is no confusion. We are also very particular about our home and he listened to any feedback we had and adjusted to ensure we were comfortable, as this was our first project with him. He was prompt and on time every day, and he ensured he left our house clean before leaving for the day. Roberto genuinely cares and wants to give his clients the best result possible. We had a small leak in our laundry room that damaged a baseboard (unrelated to the project we were doing with him), but he took the time to look at it and provide his feedback on what we can do once we fix the leak so we don't have to remove the entire baseboard. I would highly recommend Roberto and we will definitely call him again for our next project.

As a person, Roberto is a very friendly guy and a great communicator who made sure to text and/or call me regularly with updates. He was highly communicative the whole project, which I personally prefer, and it went to show how much he wanted to ensure things are done right and to my expectations. This was evident even during the initial onsite inspection, where he patiently spent a full hour with me onsite walking through the details. He was very open and transparent about what he can do, what solutions he offered, what materials are optimal, and what I could expect. It was always very clear what I needed to provide and at what schedule. His quote was very fair, and while I initially thought of using separate contractors, I gave him the bid to manage the whole project. His price was competitive for managing the schedule and the back and forth needed to ensure the work was done at the right cadence. The work schedule was managed tight and completed exactly to our quoted timeline. All of the folks he brought onsite were experienced, organized, and friendly, with different teams scheduled to exchange work days much better than if I had tried to manage the sequence myself. It's clear that Roberto takes great pride in his work from his attention to detail and wanting to do things the right way. Over our ~2-week project, he went above and beyond to make minor repairs and fixes to ensure the end result was stunning. During work, everything was covered neatly and taped neatly. As you can see from the before photos, the house was a bit run down. The oil-finished floors needed both a refinishing and spot repairs of gaps, holes, and water damage, and the final refinish was perfect. The original ceilings had a rolled-on, inconsistent texture with cracks, and Roberto communicated the effort needed to make them smooth. The cost was fair and the ceiling is now essentially perfect. As the house is from the 1920s, some walls still have the original plaster and old world texture which I decided to keep, while rooms with wallpaper were removed, sealed, primed, repaired, and painted. The end result looks fantastic, and as mentioned he went above and beyond doing patching and wall sanding to make it extra perfect, which was greatly appreciated. The trim work was also incredible: all baseboards were installed with care and with sharp corner work, and he flawlessly repaired the crown moulding in the kitchen and office. Overall, I was incredibly impressed. Roberto is a super nice guy who cares to do great work, and he is the first person I'll call for future work on my home.

When they arrived, because they spoke reasonable English (or so it seemed), I tried to give them an overview of the project. Apparently they didn't understand English as well as I thought because they assumed they were installing the lights vs just being my second pair of hands. Instead of asking a question or raising a concern, they acted like everything was fine and said they were going to their truck to get tools...and then they just took off and never came back. 20 minutes later I got a call from the Dayworker center asking why I wanted the individual to install lights and that they weren't an electrician. Over-all just a terrible experience. I wouldn't use them again or recommend them.
