Finished day before 4pm. Not alot of progress. Day 2 Kevin promised 9am start. Arrives ~1030am. Finally started on fence. Noticed they started to paint trim that was not part of fence or posts! The quote specifically states does NOT include painting or staining!!! Finish ~415pm and asks for payment. Job is incomplete. Only 3 posts complete and balustrades are missing. Incomplete clean up, left ladder, dry pant roller and pan, downspouts on ground with hardware. Noticed paint drips on shakes and concrete later. Kevin has painted over existing trim and wood with a non matching color! Kevin asks for payment. Pay against my better judgment. Day 3. Promised to be here at 9am No show. Text Kevin ~11AM asking where he is at. Kevin says he is in San Jose on another job and wont be able to get to job today. Commits to be here and finish before noon. Day 4 no show again Claims his truck broke down. Offers to come on Saturday. Tell him no want him here on fri. exchange texts, nothing more. Day 5-6 nothing from Kevin Stop payment on check. Day 7 texted him and offers full payment less check stop fees, Kevin agrees to finish says was in hospital. Day 8 finished. Have to follow him to clean up paint spills. Poor communication skills. Mediocre to poor workmanship. Unprofessional. Unreliable. Do not recommend.

From start to finish, Kevin was fantastic. He was not only highly skilled and efficient in completing the job, but he was also incredibly friendly and personable. It made the entire process very pleasant. I especially appreciated how communicative he was. He kept me informed every step of the way, which is something I value greatly in a contractor. On top of all that, his pricing was very affordable.

We had a lengthy punch list after…read morepreparing a rental property, including smoke detector replacements, drywall repairs, bathroom hardware, electrical work, caulking, window repairs, fence repairs, and a variety of other miscellaneous items throughout a three-story home. Derek was fantastic to work with. What stood out most was his attention to detail and commitment to getting things done right. He didn't rush through the list, he took the time to make sure repairs were completed properly and looked great when finished. He also offered practical recommendations when there was a better solution than the quick fix. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Even when Derek had to leave town for the weekend, he made a point to follow up, stay in touch, and ensure everything kept moving forward. That level of professionalism and accountability is hard to find. The quality of the work was outstanding, the pricing was fair, and the entire experience was stress-free. It's clear that Derek and Danny take pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Big Iron Handyman again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality handyman services with transparent pricing

(We didn't think that Pete Testorff's company did small stuff.) (Have you seen the stuff this guy does???... Bantam, Westside Santa Cruz estate type homes, etc.?) (Gorgeous) He happened to be bidding the jobs and came the "same" day, which in itself is a miracle. He had a total "positive" "can-do" vibe. Marty was sold. We were excited to have Pete Testorff say yes to the job. He even came in cheaper than our other favorite contractor. Everyone who worked on the job from the start to finish was excellent and also said good things about Mr. Testorff. Pete made some suggestions, i.e. tile and we went with the "experts" opinion and we are glad we did. Thanks Pete for coming to our assistance. You did a great job. P.S. Go with Pete's suggestions, because he is up on all the cool and modern looks.

They are very professional, very considering for the customers, laser focused on providing the best quality of work for the customers. From the 1st time, I met them, I can immediately feel that they understand my need, and would give very reasonable suggestions and options for me to consider what to do to bring the best value of the work within my budget. A few examples to share here: they spent quite a long time to prep the house on the hallway, floor and roof corners to ensure the painting dust and paint are not damaging my other spaces they will suggest me to reduce my paint order quantity after reviewing my scope of work When they are missing some material, they would ask me if I want to pick up the material to save their charge of picking up by them, or would prefer them to pickup in case I am too busy They provide the recommended items with exact product links to save my time They would send me progress updates every few hours to let me know the status They would give me clear explanations on work to be done today and next day Overall, i had a wonderful experience with PBM team, they are a pleasure to work with, and I am very happy about the outcome of this project and would hight recommend them to my friends and families to help with renovate their spaces.
