Maybe if you are a more lucrative client -- like a real estate agent with lots of referrals -- this guy would be more interested in showing some respect. But for a one day job -- forget about it.

Everything is covered in plastic or ground tarps, no spots, no drips. He did patch work and caulking of crown molding, primer coats where needed, and excellent coverage on repainted ceilings. We have used him before and we called back because of the prior experience and his fair pricing. We would definitely recommend. The only hiccup was with the Yelp system for contact, it put somebody else's name in our request which was totally not us (and fortunately I had kept his card and separately called and left mesage), and then I kept getting contact from other contractors that I did not solicit.

Often he called to say something would be much more money that he had originally quoted us. It has been a few years, and we had a leaking skylight, a bathroom fan that was never connected to the electric source, the dryer vent in the attic was not reconnected and it took a year before we discovered all the lint that was there that we had to clean out. The new Hardie Plank siding had a small gap hidden by a downspout that had resulted in a water leak in our wood kitchen cabinets that we could not find. Finally, a sharp roofer who repaired the other leak and a leak in the downstairs bath, (again due to poor sealing by his roofers), found that missing section of siding. We filled it in and sealed it. It had been leaking for over 2 years and we could not find it. We also had clogged drains in bathroom sinks, gook that they never cleaned out on installation. One vanity was completely destroyed when they tried to install it and had to be replaced. Our builder had measured and told us what sizes to buy and we did. Oh, by the way, did I mention that we bought ALL the tile and bathroom fixtures, lights, tub, sinks, toilets, etc.? This was not a cheap job, and now after a few years, our great electricians, plumbers, roofer have been here many times fixing his mistakes. Don't be fooled by his charming hype.

A rep from the company, Scott, came out within two days to meet with us and discuss the projects we thought may add value to our home prior to putting it on the market. Preparing for the move and new jobs, and with two small children at the time was an incredible stress. However, Scott was invaluable in configuring our space and determining which materials and appearance would work best and recover the most return selling the home. They provided us with a detailed work proposal, including the revised floor plan, material spec's, computer generated images, warranty standards, proposed schedule, and full estimate - which was fairly priced compared with other bids we received. We accepted the terms, and the work took place without a hitch. We were extremely happy with the workmanship, organization, and cleanliness of the crews. They were also very courteous and their staff was down to earth and easy to get along with. All in all, they made this a very easy and pleasant experience during what was an incredibly chaotic time for us. Additionally, they did a fantastic job and our house sold above list price and this was before the market began to come back. It looked gorgeous and I'm positive that is why we were able to sell it for well above what Zillow and even our realtor had recommended. Five stars all the way around! -Michele (previously of Falls Church, VA)

After I posted my review in April, Scott Dijulio contacted us shortly thereafter, which was…read moreappreciated. However, the conversation wasn't about how to make things right. It was more of "sorry you feel that way" and to vehemently defend himself. Sorry, taking that tone is never a successful strategy and not how to build and sustain lasting business or any kind of lasting relationship. I consider myself a reasonable, understanding and forgiving person and don't like to give out negative reviews. I have even changed ratings from 3 stars to 5 stars because the owners kept their pride in check and stood behind their guarantee of 100% customer satisfaction. Whether or not Scott agrees with what the customer says, perception is each person's reality. I stand firm with my 3 star rating for DiJulio Contracting.

WORST HANDYMAN I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED…read more Here's what happened... - I asked Gino to do 2 tasks: 1) install an additional shelf in my closet and 2) transform an empty/dead space in my cabinet into a usable cabinet. He said he could do both and would charge me $300 for both tasks - I didn't even negotiate with him as I thought that seemed like a fair price? - For the cabinet I asked Gino to transform the empty space into a cupboard that matches the rest of my cabinets. First off, he asked me to pick up all the wood, plywood, and handles from Home Depot (WHAT!? I have no experience in this!). That should have been my first warning sign, but he insisted I do it. Then, he did a half-ass job of constructing a cabinet that barely even matches the rest - it looks like a 2 year old did it. Lastly, and most infuriatingly, I noticed that he put the cabinet door on backwards - with the brown/rough edge exposed instead of the polished white side facing out!! When I texted Gino to alert him to his mistake, he replied "Paint it white" - how condescending! What an awful handyman to suggest I finish the job for him that he did incorrectly! Pictures of the cabinet and text attached. - For the closet, I currently have 1 shelf installed but want a 2nd above the 1st. Gino drilled 12 halls into the wall and THEN told me he was unable to complete the task because there was metal behind the wall. Seems strange because there's already 1 shelf successfully up, but fine - I understand if it's a safety concern and he doesn't want to complete the task. The part I'm furious about is that he left the 12 drilled holes in my wall that I now have to now patch, sand, and paint!! Picture attached. I told Gino he could not leave my wall like that - and he said he would return another day to fix it - and I requested it be within the next 2 weeks... - Bringing me to my next point, his unprofessional, condescending, and a**hole behavior. I followed up the morning Gino was supposed to return to the finish/fix the job and he replied "In hospital. Bad Reception. Flu and Other symptoms". Ooook ... I texted you, didn't call ... but fine, I'll assume you're telling the truth and so I told him to rest, feel better, and we could regroup the following week. Upon confirmation the following week Gino replied "Can't work for 2-3 weeks. I'm past 60, my body is breaking down. Some faster than others - not sure when I can get back there". So I replied "Sorry to hear you're body is breaking down, but that's not the deal we made ... I paid you $300 for an unfinished job that I expected you to complete within 2 weeks, so I would like you to come back tomorrow or give me an exact date you can return" ... to which he replied: "Listen here little girl. I went there to do a job. And my job did not include painting. You have champagne taste on a beer budget. I'm out. Enough said". WHAT......???? All of these texts are attached. This is unprofessional, rude, and UNREAL - I couldn't believe he had the audacity to say such awful things! - Gino is a conman: he does part of the job, at poor quality under expectations, demands money with the promise that he'll return to finish, and then plays sick or flat out denies to come back. - Gino told me that he used to live in LA and went bankrupt there ... and now I understand why. He'll probably go bankrupt here in DC as well. Moral of the story: DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN - HE IS HORRIFIC. *Gino: I will gladly revise this review if you choose to fix the problems you created at my house or refund my money for an unfinished job. Otherwise this post will remain on your Yelp page to warn others against you.
