The ceiling is ok, since it’s knockdown, I didn’t expect perfection and I would be remiss not to say he didn’t charge me to do it since my roommate has known him for years and referred many clients to him through his work. The doors on the other hand disappointed me. I had brand new solid wood doors. He was supposed to varnish and hang them. He used 2 different gloss levels so each door had a very different appearance and some areas looked like they were never coated at all...even started getting the mildew look after the wet season. Appearance is one problem, but functionality is the other. Because the doors were not sealed properly, they kept swelling with the humidity to the point you couldn’t open them to get in or out of the house. While trying to get in, I actually cracked the door. He came out one time and sanded it down some but didn’t reseal it which only helped for a while then it started sticking again until the winter when the rain stopped. I kept messaging him and he made several promises to come make it right but never did. Finally I sold the home but I know if the new owners don’t do something about it soon the doors will stick again. Spike came to me highly recommended, but I would not recommend him to anyone I like.

"wish i would have seen this sooner ., this person purchased these doors at some bargain place , and they were slightly worn to begin with as for the installation , it was spot on , but she had her ex-boyfriend ( who lived there also) watching us , and he told us we had to much space between the doors( your supposed to leave aprox 3/16th of an inch between the doors, they were double doors) but he didn't agree , even though be was basically a car mechanic. so me moved them closer together as he wanted . a month later , when the weather changes and it rained a few times , the doors did swelled a bit , as is the norm in miami , where its pretty humid. so the doors rubbed , we came back and , free of charge , re-adjusted the doors back to where we originally had them. this house was nearly a hoarder house. she made a living , selling used items out of her house and the doors were already pretty scratched up when we came back. she had 3 police cars there , ordering the ex boyfriend out . i really didn't want to go back there . even though she felt this way , we left on good terms , and there was never a cross word between us. she never reported back to me about not being happy with them after the last time i went back."

All work was performed perfectly. Spike went above and beyond to make everything better than I expected. Drove across town to get special parts. Overall he did an excellent job.

Spike was very friendly and did an excellent job. He worked very well around my busy schedule and I couldn't be happier with his attention to detail. I would hire again in the future.

Spike is a jack of all trades. He is very reliable. He is very honest. If I would've bought a new house, I would have never found him.

Spike really came through for me. While replacing tile in my new home, we realized to our horror that our massive refrigerator was no longer going to fit in it's cabinet due to the increased height of the new tile. I called Spike, and within 48 hours, the problem was fixed. His guys were friendly and hard-working. I look forward to working with him again.

It was a pleasure dealing with Spike from Avail. He quoted me a reasonable price over the phone and had it scheduled to be done short after. The work was done well and I would use him gain in the future. Thanks Spike!

I gave Spike a call to inquire about his availability to do a few quick repairs at one of our properties located on Miami Beach. Due to the fact that this job was kind of an emergency, I wasn't able to wait for a week or two. He was kind enough to set up a time out of his busy schedule the day after to come over and fix the problem. The blinds needed a tighter support to hold them up and it was in the kid's room which direct sunlight was preventing their sleep. Also, there was a hole in the master bedroom ceiling due to water damage from the unit above. He patched and painted it as well. Spike was a life saver. Thanks a lot !

All of the tasks completed were done well.. Spike is very nice but a little unorganized. He was always delayed for something and he would never remember our appointments. I had to call every time to remind him of our appointment and then we had to reschedule because he was out of my area. I initially contacted him to do a kitchen remodel but while in the middle of getting permits he suggested I find a new contractor as he was too busy.
Response from Avail Construction
"very nice person ; I was a little un-organized , as far as being busy , and canceling some meetings ( but there were too many , and they were all for free) required allot of time coming to see , and to figure what she wanted as far as the kitchen remodel had cabinets had to return some ( 20 miles away.) had to try to design a kitchen around cabinets she already had , but wanted to move walls. so the cabinets weren't really for that new designed kitchen we would have to piece and match , and order new . allot of trips for no pay. she need a designer. or planner first , I`m only supposed to come in and bid on what a person wants , not design it. so , I finally felt she should hire someone else. again , very nice lady."

Spike completed all the work in a timely manner. I am out of state making it more difficult to communicate but Spike was very patient and understanding and made the job run very smooth. He went above and beyond to repair some items that were not on my list and able to resolve them. I highly recommend Spike and will definitely be using him in the future.

Contractor/Handyman did a great job. From the first phone call, he was professional, courteous and honest about what was necessary for this project. He came to my home to take measurements and give us a quote. Two days later, he brought all the materials from Home Depot and did an excellent installation job, exactly as promised. I would definitely recommend to other members.

Work scoped correctly and a detailed estimate provided. Work done expeditiously and quite well.
Will have back to paint the woodwork done in this job (need to wait for the pressure treated lumber to dry before painting).

Job went on for weeks. He showed up when he got there or when you could get him on the phone. Spent inordinate amount of his time talking on his cellphone.
The ceiling had hammer marks, the wall paneling all buckled and one of the panels fell down completely. I had to hire someone else to finish/fix the job because he never returned and left owing me about $40 for his personal expenses for which he was supposed to reimburse me.
Did a great job on the doors. If all you need are doors, he is your man. Anything else....contact Angie's List!

"I JUST SAW THIS COMMENT. I DON`T CHECK MY PROFILE AS OFTEN AS I SHOULD . SO I`M JUST RESPONDING TO THIS (10/8/12) I DO APROX 200 SMALL JOBS A YEAR I DO HAVE PHONE CALLS THROUGH OUT THE DAY, I DO TRY TO ANSWER ALL CALLS IMEDIATELY IF POSSIBLE. YOU HAVE TO IN THIS BUSINESS . ALSO I DO EMERGENCY REPAIRS , SO I`M EXPECTED TO ANSWER WHEN CALLED. I`VE HAD A BANK ACCOUNT FOR THE BUSINESS FOR APROXIMATELY 20 YEARS. THE REASON I HAD the member PAY FOR THE MATERIALS THIS WAY WAS TO SAVE HER MONEY . IT WAS SPECIAL ORDER MATERIALS , AND HAD TO BE PAID IN FULL IMMEDIATELY. I TOLD HER IF SHE PAID IT DIRECTLY , I WOULDN`T PUT IT THROUGH THE BUSINESS , AND CHARGER HER A MARK-UP ON IT . ALSO , SHE RECEIVED MY 15% DISCOUNT FROM THE LUMBER YARD I HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH. ( SHE SAVED $255 ON HER MATERIALS THIS WAY) AS FOR THE PANLEING BUCKLING I CAN`T ANSWER FOR IT , SINCE SHE NEVER CALLED ME TO SEE . PANELING TYPICALLY DOES NOT BUCKLE FROM ANY INSTALLATION REASON. IT BUCKLES FROM TEMPERATURE CHANGE , OR MOISTURE , IT WAS A LAUNDRY ROOM ,IN THE GARAGE , SHE KEPT GARAGE DOOR OPEN WHILE I WORKED THERE . , AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HOT OR DAMP IT GOT IN THIS ROOM . BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE GONE , AND SEEN FOR MYSELF. ALL OUR WORK IS WARRANTEED,"

Spike initially did fascia board replacement and repair work for me in 2007. He was extremely pleasant and easy to work with and  I was very pleased with his work, so I decided to contact him again when I finally decided to get the concrete cracked repaired - which was my main concern.  Along with his assistant (Carlos), they thoroughly inspected the area by digging out the damaged stucco and found rusted rebar due to water damage. My husband and I were very impressed with the quality of the finished work: it looked like new construction.

Spike as he is known is a nice guy. But he stretches himself to thin and did some painting and some drywall work himself that he later told me he should have sub-ed out... and i saw it in his quality. After every payment he got from me it would be 4 or 5 days before I would hear from him again...... I will try someone new next time
Response from Avail Construction
"i`ve never met this member i dealt with a young man "Kyle", about 25 years of age , who would come , and go . he constantly told me everything looked great . he once asked if i could touch up a spot on the drywall , and i did.. i did leave some tape on a hinge that he most likely had to remove . when he first called he said " I need this done quickly ", so i postponed my immediatte work , and jumped in . we found a leak in the walls , so a 2 day job turned into 5 or 6 days , and yes i did have to leave at one point , and take care of a prior commitment. i did bring in a plumber , and stayed there with the plumber at no extra charge There was never any negative coment made from the customers " friend" and myself. this home is a penthouse , and was basically stark white and shiny . i covered all surfaces daily. i clean swept and wet-mopped every day. i truly made every attemtp to stay on top of this job. i also had to park 300 yards away at municiapl parking at $20 a day , to which i didn`t charge the client. i thought i did all i could for this person i was never told they were un-happy with anything. i did agree to wait for a payment to come out of town ( one week ) this report is the first i heard of it or the name of this member i`ve called 7 times since , and tried to talked to them , or ask if there was anything i could do for them . they refuse to answer the phone or text."
