    BEFORE - Basement
    Jaymes C.

    Victor and his team did an excellent job with several project on our house. Victor performed a walk-through to determine/discuss the scope of work, and promptly provided an estimate. After some fine-tuning due to my changing some of the scope, we agreed to the estimate and his team was ready to work the following week. The first project we hired Victor for was to complete a partially-finished garage, which included; patching an prepping the existing drywall, installing baseboard, chemically etching and applying epoxy coating to cement floor, and finish painting the garage. Victor's team was prompt, friendly, professional, and did quality work. As a result of Victor's work on the first project, we hired him to finish out a basement space for use as an office, which included; repairing and prepping drywall, removing an old doorway to the garage, removing and installing a new glass panel door with the door frame, building a foundation box shelf, installing vinyl plank flooring, installing baseboard, and applying finish paint. Unfortunately, shortly after we finished the garage, we discovered a leak from the bathtub upstairs and needed to cut a hole in the ceiling of the newly-finished garage to make the repair. Victor was super responsive, and had a team member out right away to help. The leak was repaired and the opening in the ceiling patched. The bottom line is, we recommend Victor and his team fro your home projects, and plan to use him again ourselves.

    They repainted our entire house and did such a good job.

    I have hired dozens of contractors in the past, and I have never had a better experience than I've had with Victor. He is SO prompt, his guys do a fantastic job (regardless of whatever weird requests I throw at them), his prices are fair, and one of the projects I needed done was on a serious time crunch--he moved his entire crew around and finished a MAJOR job in days, while keeping his quote the same. My name is Rebecca Piterman, and I own the Salvador Dalí exhibition on the Wharf, as well as multiple rental properties, and THIS IS WHO I RECOMMEND for any handyman or contractor needs. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you are doing a recommendation check.

    This was not an easy job, had to work high and negotiate the stairs.

    Victor gave me a quote over the phone and showed up the next morning at 9, right on time and did the job in under an hour. He had a reasonable hourly rate with a 2 hour minimum. His cost was only 1/3 of the next lowest bid and he did a great job, wore a mask, laid out a drop cloth to protect the floor and cleaned up well.

    Victor and his team were very professional and punctual. They were efficient and neat in their work. Everyone was so nice and easy to work with. We had a pantry door and the framework removed then installed a new pre-hung pantry door and everything painted. They did a great job and we will be using Victor again.

    My house was in serious need of painting. When I got it painted years ago I was not very familiar with the process and chose the cheapest and fasted painter (don't do this). I since learned from that experience that I needed to consider other factors than price alone but prep work, types of paint, number of coats, how it's applied, types of primer, power washing process, sanding and scrapping, and so on. This time speed and cost alone were not motivators but doing a thorough job and doing it correctly. To start, the response time and communication from Victor the Handyman (Division Painting) was spot on and the quote I received was VERY detailed as to what services would be provided. We met and reviewed the contract to ensure what we wanted is what we received and we left no open items. Victor kept us up to date with the various stages of the processes. He was on site every day to ensure his crew was delivering the level of quality we expected and also inspected their work to ensure things stayed on track. He and the crew spent the majority of the time prepping the house; power washing, priming, sanding/scrapping, etc. The front of my house faces the East and the back the West with full ocean view so all of the wind, rain, salt air and so on hits the back, which needed the most prep work. Victor worked with my wife and provided color sample to ensure the color she wanted was exactly what would be used. He even got some samples and painted a small section of the house so she could see how it would look. I am glad he did that because the color she thought she liked, she didn't. We eventually made a decision and we really like the color and I think the house came out GREAT. I have serious OCD when it comes to detailed work and when something does not look right or is out of place it drives me nuts until it's fixed. I had no issue with the job Victor and his crew did. Some of my neighbors were asking for his number to get some work done on their houses and I am getting constant compliments about the house. I am VERY pleased with the work done and HIGHLY recommend Victor. If you have any questions feel free to ask. As you can see on my other reviews I am not shy about giving negative reviews if warranted.

We had him tackle a significant makeover and paint job on our 122 year old cottage. Omar's bid was a good 20% higher than #2. We chose him because of how clearly he talked the details, from paint chemistry for a salt air climate to the right way to replace those old cedar shingles. He also had a new kitchen window created from scratch to match the ones in the rest of the old house. Over the 3 - 4 week project, Omar and his crew invariably left the place immaculate, no clutter, no mess. The answer to nearly ever request was "Yes, we can do that." While they are not cheap, the tab for all of the extras we asked for was fair. And we have no doubt that the work will hold up very well. When you think about how valuable your home is, why would you not hire the best in the business to fix whatever is wrong with it? The property will appreciate, and pay you back 10X over.

The estimate was the most comprehensive that I received, which did build trust even though it was on the high side. In retrospect, the labor rate was too high for the quality of work performed. "Omar the Handyman" didn't do any of the work, he farmed it out. For projects allowing more planning, I don't think that I would work with them again. Doctor-level labor rates for amateur-level workmanship? Nah.

He has had to construct some crazy pathways to reach our very tall house, around brise soleil, and upper decks always protecting the house and yard as well as his employees safety. He is always reliable, thoughtful, considerate, and polite. What makes his business unique is that his employees are exactly the same. We have worked with wonderful owners of businesses but sometimes the employees are the weak link. This has NEVER been the case for Jenkins Plastering. They listen to ideas and requests and even more - remember to do what we discussed. They do not need babysitting. They are responsible around the property and always make sure to keep the site clean and tidy. I can only imagine his plastering work would be of equal quality. If you happen to discover Jenkins Plastering, I would stop looking for anyone else. He is truly a leader of quality, kindness, and thoughtfulness in the construction industry. If every construction sub was as easy to work with as him, construction/remodeling would be so much less stressful!!! Thank you Robin and the TEAM at Jenkins Plastering.
