Rotten Wood on exterior of house.
Leo J.

Since my last review in 2017 I have called Alec multiple times for home repairs. Over the last few years he has performed tasks such as wood fence repair, window sealing, roof eve sealing, exterior siding repair and wood replacement. Most recently, I had a leak in my food disposal and he replaced it and some of my water filters under my sink. Alec is a cool dude who is always happy to help me with my home projects and his fees are fair. He also gives me good advice on future projects I have in mind and lets me know if its something he can or can't do. I won't hesitate to reach out to him on future projects.

Our gate was starting to rust and needed a little upkeep. Alec was a great communicator from the beginning which I appreciate. He came to give us a quote right away. Was able to work with our schedule, very flexible, reasonable pricing. Great work. I would recommend his services.

Alec did such a great job in bringing my nail dreams to life! I'm a nail technician and I asked him if he was able to make a nice nail rack out of an old baroque frame and got on it ASAP! He made it for me in for me 3 days! It was super quick. I highly recommend Alec for any of your wood creations!

Alec installed these two grab bars for us. Plus two shower heads and tighten two towel racks that had been loose for 22 years!

Drywall Repair Finisher - BEFORE:  I was worried that the plumbers cut the drywall so close to the baseboard that it wouldn't be recoverable.

Drywall Repair Finisher

(134 reviews)

Update (September 2026): I reached out to Luis again for another drywall repair, this time after…read moresome drywall was damaged by a water heater leak. As always, Luis did a great job. He opened up the affected area and carefully checked for any remaining moisture before removing the damaged drywall. He then replaced the drywall and repaired the area, leaving everything looking clean and properly finished. I really appreciate his attention to detail and the quality of his work. I would definitely recommend Luis for drywall repairs and will continue to use him for future projects. His prices are always reasonable. Thanks again Luis for another job well done!

I had a positive experience with Luis back in 2020 where he fixed a bad skim job by another…read morecontractor for me with a bunch of patches, and I thought Luis' skills were pretty superior. Over the years I have been doing DIY fixing of more bad spots around the house but I also work so I was never going to get around to all of it. I decided to call Luis back recently because I didn't want to do it myself anymore and I want to repaint fresh non-patchy walls. I hired Luis to reskim two bedrooms and two accent walls and some other miscellaneous spots that I added after he started working at my house. Luis was at my house for 3 half-days (1.5 in total) before telling me he was finished with the walls. I was (still) happy as a clam at that point and paid him in full for what was completed, fully trusting that the work was done skillfully based on my prior experience. (He was coming back one more time to finish the misc. stuff that I added on and I would pay for that part then.) Anyway, imagine my horror when I checked on his "finished" work and saw imperfections everywhere and tons of sanding dust still left behind on the walls, switches, and even mud on the door knobs. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves from here with brief descriptions of what's being shown. -Pictures 1-3: Some of the imperfections from the first time Luis said he was "finished." -Picture 4: His first fix-it visit(half day). He was supposed to find all the imperfections and patch them (the yellow highlighter spots), except he was patching bubbles with more bubbles. I had to patch all the spots again with my own compound and added a ton of other ones that he missed. Took me two full nights. -Pictures 5&6: His second fix-it and final visit (another half day). He was supposed to sand over all the patches and walls to leave them with a smooth & uniform finish that's ready for primer & paint. This was how I found them after he left. I sent him these pictures and told him to not come back as I had given him 2 chances to fix and he failed both times. There was no response from him. -Picture 7: I made only a partial payment of the balance on Luis' last visit because part of the remaining work was him making the corners of a ceiling overhang crisp, the corners are crisp but somehow the overhang is now squiggly when that wasn't the problem before. -Picture 8: I had taped up all my trims before Luis came as I didn't want any mud/compound to get on them, but I thought my crown molding were safe. They were not. He had busted them pretty badly with his electric sander in 7 spots and dinged them in at least 10 other spots but those were minor and I was able to superglue them back together. I did take on the repair of the major dings myself because I wanted to tape all of it up before he came back for more sanding. Luis and I had good rapport and I actually liked talking to him, but once the job took a turn for the worse, he never acknowledged that he didn't do a good enough job. He instead said things like, 1. "You're not supposed to look at the walls with a light from the side like that" and "I've never seen anyone look at a wall like you." --Yes, technically he's right, walls usually have paint on them which would have made these imperfections painfully obvious even when looking at them straight on, but until there is paint, this is how drywallers check for imperfections and fix them before they get permanently sealed with paint. (I had two painters (who also skim coat) come over for quotes and this was how they both checked to see how much prep work they would have to do before painting). 2. "I could fix these walls 10 times and something will still come up."--it really shouldn't if he did it right the first time, he's supposed to be a professional, not a DIYer like me. 3. "You've got to be kidding me. I'm at a point where I want to just refund your money and get out of this insanity"--after he came and saw all the patches I added to the walls (that he missed). I know what he was trying to imply and still gave him my electric sander to use so he could finish the job. With all that said, guess who is still stuck sanding the walls now after paying Luis to do the job and saying I didn't want to DIY this anymore. And with all these patches that I had to add to cover up his mudding imperfections/bubbles, it's looking like I'm going to end up with patchy walls again, which is exactly where I was when I handed Luis this project. What a joke. And the crown molding that I fixed up? That still needs to be repainted as well. I wasn't going to leave this review, but after several weeks and my walls still needing to be finished, I thought I would share my experience.
