"Bob Pino did an excellent job on multiple handyman tasks in my home. He responded quickly, was very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and skilled in the work done. He completed smaller tasks and efficiently repaired an entryway ceiling, with a second person assisting to get it done quickly. His workmanship was skilled and he did a great job with numerous small repairs, installed an under cabinet TV and patiently explained pros and cons of different repair options. I recommend him highly."
"Diego was prompt in responding, laid out all options, recommended a less expensive repair, and did excellent work. Very easy to work with and a very nice person.."
"Excellent smart thermostat upgrade. Fast installation, set up the app for me, and showed me how to use all the features. Now I control my heat and AC from my phone. Very smooth service!"
"Outstanding work. Reliable, on time consistent and reliable. Delapidated 10 X 20 shed needed serious repair, now looks like new. Yunior repaired broken down doors, rotting facia boards, entrance ramps &spot lights. He often suggested helpful modifications to the the original structure. The shed looks new."
"I have done a lot of research into soundproofing and had a quite a few contractors stop by for an evaluation and a quote over the past couple years, and Robert stood out with his friendly demeanor, level of knowledge, and being easy to talk to; he seemed to have good experience in soundproofing and actually knew soundproofing concepts I'd read up on earlier (surprisingly many other drywall contractors were either evasive in rating their confidence in their proposed projects or simply did not have good plans or knowledge of options). He worked with me on a plan to redo a wall separating my bedroom from noisy neighbors, and the result is excellent! Robert and his team have turned a single stud wall into a decoupled double stud wall, with all the right elements for soundproofing, such as quality insulation, acoustic caulk and dampening compound (both by Green Glue), socket putty, etc. Robert's choice of materials was well informed, and the quality of his work was very good, neat, and precise. I could tell he enjoys doing his work well. He cleaned up after the job was done, and the new wall was perfectly plastered--all I had left to do was to paint (which I enjoy doing myself). The total expense was very reasonable for the cost of materials and labor. I also appreciated that Robert always kept me up-to-date on his schedule and coordinated his visits--great communication. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the experience and glad that I found Robert and his team! I can heartily recommend his services for your drywall and related projects! I'd like to also note for general reference that soundproofing is a global project: learn the weak areas where the sound travels--it's frequently not just your walls, but also through your floors and through your ceilings, including from neighbors on the same floor as you! You may think that just fixing one area will solve everything, but sound wave propagation needs to be considered from all directions/sources, and week areas need to be identified: e.g. you may need to redo your wall and your floor, for example, or your wall and your ceiling, or all 3 at once, depending on your exact needs and situation."
"They showed up right away, went beyond what I expected. They repaired something in my fan that I didnâ t know was broken. Very pleasent to work with and look forward to having him for more projects around the house."
"I am a retired contractor and these guys have done a lot of projects for me and family over the past 2 years and had been superb, I highly recommend them, you will be lucky to have them."
"I hired P&J for a list of small tasks. He replaced two light fixtures, replaced the vent in my bathroom, fixed a ceiling fan, built a closet and installed a railing, I enjoyed a super positive experience. Jose was punctual, knowledgeable, courteous and cleaned up upon project completion. I was thoroughly impressed and have hired him for my bathroom remodel. I highly recommend him."
Yes, you can repair cat scratches on leather furniture. A quick fix that won’t repair roughness is a leather recoloring balm that helps scratches blend in. Otherwise, use the following process.
Clean the area and trim loose fibers.
Rub leather binding glue all over the affected area.
Sand the area down with fine-grit sandpaper and clean off any residue.
Fill holes, scratches, and gouges with leather putty from a leather repair kit.
Sand the area down again and clean off any residue.
Apply leather colorant in several layers.
Seal the color in with a leather sealant and finish.
Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to protect your leather furniture from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.
Use appropriate thickness materials—3/4-inch sides for heavy loads, proper joinery techniques, and quality hardware rated for your intended weight. Avoid overloading drawers beyond their design capacity, and periodically check and tighten any loose fasteners.
If carpet installers damage your items during the furniture removal process, promptly notify the company and document the damage with photos and descriptions. The company should have a protocol in place to address such situations, potentially offering repair, replacement, or compensation. Maintain open communication throughout the resolution process to ensure a satisfactory outcome for both parties.
To prevent sagging, consider both the material and the span of the shelf. Using sturdy materials such as plywood or solid wood can provide better support than particleboard. Additionally, limiting the shelf span to 36 inches or less can reduce the risk of sagging. For longer shelves, incorporating center supports or brackets can offer additional reinforcement.
