My lock broke when a strong gust of wind slammed the door shut. I saw the great reviews Ace Lock &…read moreSecurity owner Richard Rebori was receiving and called him. He answered immediately, while driving his wife for a checkup, and said he'd be by my Johnson Village house within 40 minutes. He showed up as promised and quickly won my trust with his good-humored, straightforward manner. It was already getting dark but this 74-year-old man got down on one knee, twisted out the broken latch with a pair of pliers, went back to his van, and returned with exactly the model of lock needed to replace the broken one. After 5 minutes of expertly jiggling, twisting and screwing in, he had the new lock securely in place--fixed! The price he charged was almost ridiculously low ($125)--this after going out of his way to find my house after a long drive. I was so moved by his generosity that I said, "Please, name your price!" But he had named it. He went on to say he was retired, and doing this only to help people! Five stars are totally inadequate to rate Mr. Rebori, as a locksmith and a human being.

Not trustworthy, doesnt follow regulations, overpriced, poor communication…read more Reached out to Mike because I remember seeing his truck in the parking lot at City Church. The "main number" I texted apparently is answer by Mike sometime and his office manager Stephanie other times. Problem is they dont communicate with each other very well, if at all. Based on convo, was talking to Mike for a couple of days. Needed, what i thought, was simple furniture assembly for an armoire purchased from Wayfair. He quoted me a rate of $125 per hour. Sent him the assembly video and confirmed it would require two people given the size of some of the pieces. Appointment day rolls around and only one worker is sent. Texted the main number and Stephanie replies. Rescheduled for another day and the worker comes back with his teenage son Now, according to the Wayfair website and reviews by other purchasers, one buyer and his 14 yo son managed to do the job in 4 hours. Wayfair estimates it takes a handy homeowner 6 hours to complete the job. took Mike's "professional" and his helper 8 hours to do the job. Was never told the rate went up to $175 for the 2nd person involved. so an $1100 purchase cost another $1400 to assemble using Mike 's guy and his teenager. Was never given an estimate of how long it would take based on the video provided. Was never told of the higher rate -- just "Furniture assembly is $125 per hour). Problem is, VA law requires a licensed contractor to provide a written estimate of the cost of the work undertaken and a timeframe for completion neither were provided, yet he is still insisting on full payment of $1400. No discount for wasting our afternoon when he failed to send 2 workers the first day, no discount for a teenage worker. No considerations for the fact no estimate was ever provided. If the VA board of contractors says I should pay $1400, Ill pay $1400. But not paying a penny till they weigh in on his practices.
