    The Heights

    This is a heads-up to anyone considering hiring a local handyman, Ralph Valenciano. He has…read moreadvertised under the name "Handy in the Heights". I would strongly advise against hiring this individual. I hired him last August to install five windows in a garage apartment. I was told the windows needed to be ordered. He asked me to buy the windows and he would install them. I was preparing to leave town for a week so I gave him a check to order/buy the windows. I received a call from him the day I returned informing me that the manufacturer was behind schedule but should have the windows within a week. He called a few days later to let me know the windows had arrived and that he would schedule installation when his current project was completed. Three weeks passed and I had not heard from him, however, I was not too concerned because it had been raining. After another week (now Oct. 16th) I texted him. I wanted to know when the windows would be installed. He explained that part of the scaffolding was damaged and had to be replaced but he would be able to install the windows the following week. He did not show up the following week or the week after that. I texted him on Nov. 4th suggesting that he deliver the windows to me and I would get someone else to install them. He apologized and said he would install them Nov. 10-11. He texted me on the morning of the 11th to let me know the scaffolding would be set up that afternoon. No show. This back and forth continued for another five weeks during which I asked him to deliver the windows or return my money. No response. My final text to him was on Dec. 24th. I reminded him that there were courses of action I could take and I would be doing so. In conclusion, if you choose to hire this individual I suggest you not pay him a cent in advance for material or labor. Wait until the project is completed. LPC

    Excellent communication. Very fair pricing and showed up exactly when he said he would. Definitely…read morewould use again. Thank you!

    Zac is awesome! Do not hesitate to book. I took a gamble and went with him (at the time he only had…read moreone 5 star review). He was responsive, he quoted me fairly and he sounded extremely knowledgeable. On the day of my appointment he alerted me to ETA, he arrived within scheduled time frame and he was respectful of my property. He was very tidy with his work area, cleaning up completely once finished. He even removed the bulk trash and took it with him to dispose of. He did a jumbo job: paint touch up on an accent wall (to clean up someone else's work who I had hired in the past, not affiliated with Zac), installed some towel holder knobs, hung some paintings including a large 87 x 65" one. He also mounted my TV including hiding the wires. And helped me to connect my DVD player to another mounted TV. Zac is awesome. Do not hesitate to book him! Wish I found him sooner.

I was on a very tight timeline for needing the repair to be done and Zac, the owner, was able to work us into his schedule and meet our deadline. His quality of work is excellent and he was great at communicating his process and keeping me updated throughout. It's clear he has great attention to detail as the new fence blends seamlessly with the old and, once he was done, he cleaned up his work area and left my yard spotless. Zac and Affordable Solution Services is the way to go if you're looking for professional work done at an affordable price.

    I made the mistake of using this company for a raccoon removal. The tech was friendly enough, but…read moreon one visit he decided in order to fix the problem that he would put a ridiculous amount of screws and a hideous silver screen onto the front of a historic home in order to fix the problem while I was not there, rather than sealing on the inside because it was harder to get to. Had I not driven up when he was about halfway through, he would have finished and left. He told me that many houses do that to keep animals out. After looking up and down the street and not seeing any homes that did that, he backed down. I did require him to seal and repaint, which he did. We wanted the raccoon gone before it paid us a visit inside the house from the attic, so we decided to pay more for a national company. That was a mistake. Knowing what we know now, we paid twice the going rate for this service. And as is usual when dealing with a large company, we should have gone local. Lesson learned. And now, 6 months after the service, which was paid IN FULL at the time of service, they are threatening to send me to collections for not paying the bill that we paid at the time of service. I have provided the canceled checks, which show their bank and account number on the back, and show the funds as removed from my account, not one, not two, but THREE times and I am still being harassed. In addition to this, our tech told us that unless we paid in full at the time of service he would not perform the service because insurance would not cover him for any incidents that may happen, which is total and complete bologna, but I paid anyway so he would work. Most recently we received a call from the manager who assured us it was taken care of and we would never hear from them again. That was a month ago. We've had 4 more notices since then, including two in one day. They say that in business there are three things - good, fast and cheap - and if you just expect two of those, everyone will be happy on both sides of a deal. I got none of the three with this situation. It was and continues to be not good, not fast, not cheap, and very frustrating. Trutech, if you're reading this, feel free to talk to your tech, your regional, and your accounts receivable department and you'll find copies of the canceled checks. I highly do not recommend this company. It has been nothing but frustrating to deal with them since the beginning. And we have been hearing an animal upstairs again...which they were supposed to have sealed. Don't just walk, run to a different business for your wildlife removal needs.
