"I hired Bob to do repairs and renovation of a condo rental unit. He renovated the bathroom with new tiles, replacing bathroom rotten wood frame window with a vinyl frame, installing new light fixtures and repairing bathroom plumbing, repairing torn screens, as well as repainting interior walls and trim throughout the unit and installing new shades throughout. He also plastered water-damaged ceilings and cleaned and organized the basement storage area. On the exterior he replaced a rotted window frame and missing clapboards, then patched and painted the wall. Bob arrived early each day and worked diligently. Bob is a great problem solver and works with you to suggest ways to do repairs for the best outcome while keeping costs down. His work is high quality. I would definitely hire him again."
"We had Derek come out to replace some rotted wood trim around our windows and doors. He was great. I called the office on a Thursday and he was able to come out the following Tuesday, which was significantly quicker than anywhere else we called (if they even answered the phone, because most didn’t). Derek is very communicative, easy to work with and transparent about materials and cost. He was super friendly, always on time, and sent updates with pictures about how the job was going. He looked at other places around the house as well, that might need repairs first, as we were looking to paint the house later this summer. We have him coming back in a few weeks to finish the recommendations made. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend him."
"Brian is great. Came down to assess the damage and was back in 2 days with a new window. He also fixed a broken screen at no charge. Definitely would recommend."
"We needed a Fence install with an entry way. We needed a neighboring fence repaired with new posts. Another fence repaired and painted. We also asked them to do some interior ceiling work as well. Overall; all went well. Professional, courteous and a good job."
"Flowers Garden Services did a fine job cleaning our gutters. Marisol and Oscar, the owners, showed up right away, gave us a fair quote, and returned in two days to do the job. I will use them again for gutter cleaning and other household services they perform."
"Len did a great job working with me to get some work done towards my basement remodel project. His prices were fair and explained well, and he was happy to explain to me different tasks as he accomplished them so I know what to look out for and how to fix small bits in the future. Very friendly and prompt. I will definitely keep him in mind going forward if I need any other tasks completed around the house."
"C Sullivan is very knowledgeable and skilled in all aspects of home repair, ranging from home siding replacement, bathroom remodeling, antique door refinishing to name a few.

I highly recommend to help with anyoneâ s home repair needs."
