Description of Work: I had a little difficulty locating this provider - when I contacted Byron Gonzalez in August 2012 the business name was Residential and Commercial Handyman Services. For any member trying to locate an honest, ethical artisan, this is definitely NOT the person to call. I called Byron to get a ballpark of what the price would be to put up 2 drapery rods of 10' each on plaster walls in my son's downtown apartment. The job was no more complicated or detailed than that. When I first talked to Byron he was very personable, stated he understood the job but couldn't give me an exact price but assured me that his charges would be "reasonable" -his word. I had already gotten estimates from 8-10 other handymen and the HIGHEST was $225 - that quote being from a "contractor" who usually does much larger jobs (remodels, redesign, etc). Due to scheduling difficulties I had not been able to set appointment with the $225 and under group (several were booked until end of September). So, believed that $225 would be a ceiling price and a price that was stated to be "reasonable" would certainly fall under $225. I do realize it was somewhat of a gamble to set up the appointment without having a more firm idea of price. The appointment was for 10a on Saturday 9/1/12 (the start of Labor Day Weekend). On Friday afternoon at 3p, less than 24 hours before the appointment time, I received an email from Byron with the estimate he had specifically stated he was unable to provide. That price? $375. Not a typo. $375 to put up 2 drapery rods. It appeared that with the long, holiday weekend at hand, it was much less appealing for Byron to keep the appointment we had made for 9/1. Or maybe it was another, much larger job that came up. Solution? Send an "estimate" for an absurd price which would prompt the customer to cancel. Worst case scenario would be to collect 3 times the usual charge if he actually had to keep the appointment. Win-win situation for the business. I had no choice but to cancel.

Description of Work: He did some landscaping work for me.

Description of Work: My kitchen was torn apart by a remediation company who cleaned a mold problem found during the inspection of our new home. The company wasn't very careful in their work so I opted not to use their restoration services. The kitchen was literally left in pieces, including opened walls, removed kitchen tile, damaged, lighting, plumbing undone, and open drywall and removed framing. Byron Gonzalez gave me an estimate to completely restore the kitchen and he and this team were able to put my kitchen back together in record time. The quality of his work is exceptional. His attention to detail is remarkable. A few issues were discovered along the way and Byron always checked with me before proceeding to fix any newly discovered problems. His work ethic is excellent and he made suggestions that were needed and not just for the sake of adding more work to be billed. The experience was exceptional. In fact, I have already hired him for another job!

Description of Work: Byron repaired a door jamb damaged during a burglary, replaced part of our exterior wood fence that was falling over, and replaced trim in a couple of rooms in our home. I asked him to replace plumbing under a sink, and after inspecting it, he informed me that the repair was not needed. His work ethic is exceptional as is his quality of work. He is also professional and a nice person. My husband and I were very happy with the work. Highly recommend!
