Marco is amazing! He went above and beyond to make our home look amazing. He's a genuine guy and fixed things in my home that he noticed needed repairs. He didn't have to, but he did it out of the generosity of his heart. I would highly recommend Marco and will hire him every time I need a repair!

All tasks performed quickly and professionally. In addition, Marco purchased at his own expense a doorknob, provided extra caulking, matched the paint for the drywall patch, and repaired a stair nosing without being asked. We have other household repairs and feel confident in using Marco.

We purchased a deal for 4 hours of work with 1 person or 2 hours of work for 2 people. We opted for the 2 hours of work for 2 people option. Unfortunately we did not have a great experience with Marco and his company. It took over a month and a half to get time on this calendar to come out. They did arrive on time, but overall we were very unhappy with our experience. They moved very slow, and a hour through our service Marco left and was gone for 45 mins. Marco told us that he would credit us the 45 mins that he was gone, but the issue was that since he was down a person, it meant that they were going to go over the 2 hour time. When he arrived, he did say he charges $100/hour for each additional hour. The work took an additional 2 hours, at the rate of $100/hour should have been $200 (before the 45min credit). However, when the work was finished, he said that we owed $350 for the additional 2 hours ($175/hour), but would credit us $100 for the 45min he was gone, making our balance $250. We needed two doors hung (one on hinges like a normal door, and the other on a sliding barn door system): - The first door (sliding barn system) was hung too high, the rail is loose, one support is not flush w/ the wall, and another support screw was over torqued and broke off in the wall, leaving the door inoperable. So now we have to completely remove the door and re-hang it ourselves. - The second door (hinged), was a one of kind hand painted door that needed the width trimmed to fit the frame (replacing an old door). They trimmed one side too much that it now has a gap large enough to see through, that we will need to fill w/ a very thick weather stripping. They also only used 8 of the 16 screws to hang the door, which we had to finish ourselves. We are super disappointed and will not be using Marco's services again.

Marco arrived on time, quickly surveyed the issues, and got to work. He also made a Home Depot run for us. Everything went very well. We were able to take care of several long-standing problems, and we got a professional opinion about other projects. Very nice man, too!
Description of Work
Replacement of wood that attaches gate to wall. Removal of hard-wired attic fan with capping of electrical line and replacement of vent. He did all this by standing outside on a tall ladder and removing the old vent. Caulking around top of backsplash and sink. Stucco patching. Inspection of and opinions on some other issues, perhaps to be completed another time.

They are awesome! These two wonderful, professional men did an amazing job overall. We appreciate their punctuality, cleanliness, efficient use of paint and supplies. Their prep work was on target making the end result look fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better job on anything they did. We will hire them again in an instant for any new work that comes up. Marco didn't alter his original quote and even performed a few additional tasks he saw that needed to be repaired without charging extra. What a pleasure it was having them work in our home.
Description of Work
Marco and Carlos painted our kitchen and both bathrooms. They removed an existing microwave and installed a new one. They repaired our front door which was sticking horribly. Also painted the front of our house as well as replaced the cover to a light fixture in our son's room.

I was hopeful when I first met Marco. He responded to my inquiry very quickly and came over right away. I have a small leak above one of our windows (on the inside) that I wanted to fix. Wasn't sure if it was dry rot or caulking, the gutter, or roof possibly. He came over and assured me that it was only the paint and caulking and that it was a very easy fix. They scraped off some old paint and sealed the area, as well as caulked around the window. They also fixed a small piece of wood that had come away from the house. They told me, with confidence, that everything was all set and would be good. However, when it rained a few hours later, the leak was still there, just as bad as before. He had mentioned fitting me in while he was in the middle of a job, and I'm afraid he rushed through the job just go get it done, so I'm not sure he properly assessed the problem to find the right solution. When I texted him the following day saying the leak, he texted me back "must be the roof then, i think you have to call a roofer to fix that, i don't do roof work". I know that our roof is in very good order, and it was disconcerting that the work he was confident was easy and finished was not only incorrectly assessed, but also out of his realm to fix. Unfortunately, I still have a leak to fix and I'm hoping that the work he did didn't create more work for the contractor who will end up having to fix the problem. He did fix our front door to shut properly, but it took me checking and re-checking it in order for it to be done properly.

Hir I am sorry you disappoint it I try to help you Any way just charge you the fee for just to see the job I fix a door that wasn't. Lock properly you install the door upside down and I fix it Finally we want to check the window that was leaking I have explain to you because the caulk was crack And a wood moulding. Loose that could be a possibility Of the leak so we did the job You disconfirm was that I don't run right away to re fix something That cost more money I recall you you pay $90 For two guys You didn't. Even pay materials you didn't. Even ask To pay Next time I suggest you if you want guarantee purchase A big deal of 4 hrs or 8hrs I tell again I don't do roof jobs Thank you sir have wonderful day

It went AWFUL, do not do business with this vendor. This my first time using Angie's list and it went stressful and unprofessional. Do not bother calling this guy, he want all this money to reattached a basketball headboard and did not agree to the advertised price and can barely speak English. No services where performed. I just want to state that this service that he not agree to was paid in full at the advertise price. We communicated through phone and text.

Absolutely nothing, lied about the price of 175.00 said Angie's list should have not advertise for 2 hours for 175.00. He kept on changing the date and time.
