Danny does amazing work! We have used him twice and couldn't be more pleased!read more

To the residents of Punta Gorda and South West Florida: I am…read morewriting this review on behalf of and in support of Porto Fino Home Improvement and its owner Daniel Crespo. I met Daniel at Home Depot after the hurricanes and floods of September/October 2024. We started talking about general things, which was an easy thing considering the gentle and convivial manner of Daniel. In the course of our conversation, I learned that Daniel was in the home restoration business, whereupon I invited him to my home to survey the great damage done by the hurricanes/floods, and to estimate the cost to repair. Daniel accepted my invitation, and he appeared at my home that afternoon at the time he said he would be there. The damage to my house (a duplex) was substantial. All sheetrock four feet from the floor had to be removed, all insulation had to be removed, most electrical outlets and other connections for wifi, data, cable, etc. had to be removed and replaced. The wood moldings throughout both apartments, all cabinets, significant tile, bathroom fixtures, large granite countertops, kitchen appliances, and so much more, all required removal. In addition, since the house was empty, I remodeled one of the bathrooms. The work was substantial, and I was a bit nervous over using Daniel, since I had never used him before. Nonetheless, I took a chance, hired him, and gave him the job of returning my formerly beautiful home to its former elegance. Daniel immediately began scoping out the work and in a short time delivered to me his account of the damage, the work necessary to restore my home, and his estimated times and prices. Thereafter, we discussed the work and the price, we reached an agreement and the work began. It was very easy discussing these matters with Daniel. He was soft spoken, analytical, insightful, and honest. I think the most pronounced thing I observed was that his language was free from profanity and coarseness. It was easy to talk with him and to reach an agreement. He then began the substantial work required, and what can I say? My home was restored to its former beauty. The work is now done, my home is once again beautiful, and Daniel's work was exceptional in every regard. He is easy to talk with, his work is excellent, his insights are great, and his price is reasonable. I have no reservation whatsoever about referring Daniel to anyone who needs work on their home. Call him, you will not be disappointed. Michael David DiIulio, Punta Gorda

I can't say enough about John. He's come out 4 times now to fix plumbing issues at my recently…read morepurchased home. Every time he's come out the problem gets fixed! Friendly, professional, competent and shows up when he says he'll show up. He even sticks around to give me suggestions on some of my personal improvement projects!! Recently I had a my water main break due to a root cracking the pipe. He comes out, on a SUNDAY mind you, digs in the dirt and comes up with an innovative solution. When he was done, I was floored by what he asked in compensation. He saved me THOUSANDS that day. His prices are so low that I usually pay him more than he asks for. Just seems unfair! Thanks John. I'll keep calling on you!

John was clean, neat, organized, efficient, and most impressive was how extremely careful and…read moreprecise he was. I needed two ceiling fans installed plus a old over there range microwave removed/new one put in. He quoted me a price based on the detail work involved with the microwave plus the hours. The final job took a little more effort than anticipated due to some tile left under the old one, but he stayed with the quoted price. I just bought my house and there will be a few more things I will need help with. I will definitely call John. It's good to know if I have an emergency repair needed I can trust him also.

So after all the happy reviews on here, here is one on the opposite end of the spectrum. We…read morecontracted with them to remodel our kitchen and master bathroom. We contracted with them in the fall of 2021 and they started work at the end of May 2022. So, here is just a few things that went wrong... 1. They never told us they would be working only one maybe two days per week. They showed up Jun 1, 2022 to demo the kitchen and bath. They never mentioned that when the demo was complete two days later that no one would show up until the following week to continue. They had a schedule but never bothered to let us know what it was. 2. I tried calling the supervisor to ask where the workers were on the third day of construction using the number from his card with his instructions for me to call him anytime I had a question and he never called me back the entire day. I called the main office looking for our sales rep and she never called me back. I received a call from someone else within the company and was basically told that we are lucky to have someone come one day a week as we lived all the way out here in Mcintosh. After a few choice words were spoken the conversation ended. Great customer service..sheesh!! 3. The electrician showed up to rough in the new electric. They wired in a three way switch that did not work. They wired in a light in the shower area and did not wire in an on/off switch and left the light on. They used a circuit breaker in the breaker box that i had disconnected and did not tell me it was active again. They cut the cable that went to the internet outlet. The wired an outlet wrong that went to the microwave and it was not working. 4. They measured three times for the new kitchen cabinets and when the new cabinets were installed they were wrong. There was a 6" gap from the last cabinet to the wall instead of the planned three inch gap. There was a two month delay getting the new cabinet in. Of course they could not install the kickplates or crown molding until the new cabinet came in and once it was in there was a week delay until it could be installed. 5. We had a reverse osmosis system on the kitchen sink. When they went to install this system under the new sink they did not know how to get it working. I had to get it working for them. 6. When they install the new kitchen lighting system one of the lights was going to be right in the middle of the crown molding over the refridgerator. They did not plan out where the lights should be, The electrician just winged it with no regard to where the cabinets and crown molding would be. 7. The cabinet installers could not install the stove cabinets because the stove exhaust vent was installed in the wrong place. No measurements were taken. When they went to install the overhead AC vent in the kitchen, they did not measure the existing vent cover and made the hole the wrong size in the ceiling hole. 8. We had a new shower planned in the master bath that included a handheld as well as the main shower head. When they installed it they did not put in the handheld. The wall had to be cut open to fix this problem. Then after it was done and the wall plastered and painted it had to be opened up again as the diverter valve did not work for the handheld. Our hope was that after opening the wall one again they would test the system to avoid the wall being open yet another time. 9. The guy who measured the shower door for the new shower measured it wrong and when he went to install it, it did not fit. They had to reorder a shower door and that took three weeks to get the new one in. 10. The tile guy for the bathroom installed two chipped tiles. We had three extra boxes of tile and he did not consider using another tile. He went and installed and grouted two obviously chipped tiles. We had them replaced. 11. Our sales rep told us she was going to check in weekly to see the progress, never happened. She showed up maybe twice the whole time of construction. 12.Whenever something went wrong, which was often, there was the usual blame game going on. The contractor blames the sales rep, the sales rep blames the contractor or they blame the sub contractors. My honest impression of these folks was this was actually their first remodel because the mistakes they were making were basic errors that someone in the business for any period of time should not make. Two different people measured the same area for cabinets and yet they were wrong. Plumbing missed that was listed in the contract. Features ordered in the contract that were not supplied. 13. The project was complete on Sep 2, 2022. While the end result of the kichen and bath are acceptable and nice, the hell we went through along the way to completion should not have happened. A lot of errors were made that a company that has been in business as long as they have should not have been made.
