I have been taken advantage of by workers in the past. I stress out whenever I have to hire someone to do work at my house because of it. David is one of the few professionals out there that I completely trust to do great work and treat me honestly. I have recommended him to family and friends and they have all been really happy with his work.
"I really can't believe anyone would say this about me. I did miss our appointment, but it's not at all my habit at all do that. I was busy that morning (not with work) and I simply forgot. When I checked my calendar and saw my mistake I called immediately to apologize and reschedule. They didn't call me back and instead they posted this review. It would be nice to be perfect. I agree that this was a mistake on my part, and I tried my best to make good on it. Again, I apologized, All I got was a voicemail and I expected a call back. When they didn't call me back I just figured I had blown it. I was interested in the job and I have no good excuse for not checking my calendar. But again, this is not how I treat potential clients and I felt awful about missing the appointment. Had they called me back, I might have had a chance at explaining myself, or at least offering my apology to a real live person and not to an answering machine. As for "finding it difficult to set up an appointment" we both had conflicting schedules and I did my best to find a time that would work for the both of us. I understand that making plans around an appointment and having a no show can mess up a potential clients own schedule and is rude. I suppose I get the anger, but how many no shows call back to apologize and try to reschedule? I really do regret how this went down, and I think this review is unfair to me. This review does not reflect who I am or how I conduct my business. I simply made a mistake is all."
Although our wall is surprisingly crooked David managed to install the straight cabinet with the hood underneath without gaps.
Conceived as an afterthought, the cabinet turned out to be a pleasant piece of craftsmanship.
David Gluck was very professional - he reviewed my cabinet requirement and referred me to several other providers who were better equipped to handle my special need. The referral worked out wonderfully. Anderson Plywood on Sepulveda Blvd in Culver City provided an excellent larger cabinet door reproduction at a very low cost.
."Thank you, (deleted member name), for your review of my work. I really appreciate your taking the time to do that. David"
very knowledgeable and happy to fit the plans to my specifications and taste. A few days later he called
with an estimate for the work which was a fair price. The following week he and a helper came out
to install the bookshelves and the shelves in the laundry room. That was completed in 2 days and
came out really well. I was very pleased with the look of the shelves and feel that it really made
the room much nicer. So I got exactly what I wanted at a fair price. Daivd is very easy going
and nice to work with. He has a good sense of humor as well. I really enjoyed the experience,
and would use David again. He has good attention to detail and makes sure that every thing
is done just right without cutting corners.
"Thanks for the review,(deleted member name)! One of these days I need to get back there and take some photos."
I also found David interesting and very enjoyable to talk with.
(Note: I actually got David Gluck's referral from a friend who found him through Angie's List. I was so happy with the work that I joined Angie's List and entered this review after the fact.)
"Hey (deleted member name). I just learned today that I can respond to reviews of my work. How cool of you to join Angies List just so you could write the review! Thank you! It was a pleasure working for you. And yeah. I'd love to get some photos. Just email them to me. :-) David"
I often hear stories of contractors that over charge, and don't show up. Who hire sub-contractors that are unreliable and do sloppy work. I cannot relate to these stories. David showed up every day. He built most of the cabinets in my garage. He did build some at his home, and brought them over but I think that was due to the size of the cabinet.
I originally found David because he had done some work as a sub-contractor at my parents home a number of years earlier and he did some nice work there. He saved some beautiful french windows that had been ruined by the previous owner of their home. I remembered him when it came time to work on my house. I was lucky to find him.
David is reliable, and really talented. His finish work is beautiful. No one comes to my house that doesn't comment on how beautiful my kitchen is. I know he has gotten work from that alone but then they find out how easy he is to work with and they thank me again. He shows up every day and he takes a lot of pride in his work. This is what makes him so good. He never leaves things with a and quot;that will doand quot; attitude. When he is done...you have a complete and beautiful job.
One last note....his prices are very fair. I priced a lot of kitchens before I hired him. I got way more than I would have with anyone else.
