I consulted with Ron and his staff a few times beforehand to understand my options for replacing a toilet and fixing two dripping faucets. They were patient, and gave me estimates over the phone. It didn't always get through the first time I called (answering service one time, answering machine another time). But they did call me back within a day or two, which was fine since this wasn't an emergency.
Two nice young men showed up to do the work -- not precisely on time, but reasonably close. When they unpacked the new toilet I noticed a little chip in it, at a spot that wouldn't be visible once the toilet was fully assembled and installed. I decided not to mention it, but the workers noticed the chip, too, and simply took it away and brought back a new unchipped one.
The countertop under our old faucets was stained, and they took pains to place the new faucets to cover the stained area.
It only took an hour for them to replace all 3 fixtures, including the time it took to go back to the shop to exchange the new-but-damaged toilet. They cleaned up and left.
The bill was about $750 for the new toilet and labor to replace the faucets (which we had previously purchased). I found this reasonable considering that another highly-rated plumber (Nicholson) quoted us an exorbitant price, almost 47% higher than Bolivar's.
I will definitely look to Bolivar Plumbing in the future.

Professionalism =============================== 1 - After agreeing to go with them, one thing I requested was that they not touch my kitchen countertop because I failed to seal it. In only 1-2 days on the job, I found spots and swipes of paint (1/8 - 1/2 inch) on my countertop and a mess of paint in my kitchen sink. I immediately contacted the owner to complain about this and item #2, hoping that he would relay the message to the painters. I came in the next day to find keys on the countertop. Even after asking the painter in person to not touch it/put stuff on it again, that same day he put his arms on the countertop to listen in on the conversation I had with his colleague, and I was not happy when I saw that. They made me do extra work to clean it (again). ***I have not been able to fully take out the paint spots they left on my countertop. 2 - The painters left the lights on after their work was done, wasting energy. 3 - The painters walked all over my carpet floors with their shoes on. When they came to pick up their materials to end the job, I asked them to take off their shoes, especially when walking on the carpet. They hurried past me saying they had no time to take off their shoes and instead would walk on the drop cloths on the first floor. When they went to gather stuff from the second floor, however, I exclaimed that they had their shoes on my carpet. The painter responded, "What the h*** is wrong with you? My shoe is clean, see?", and continued on to the second floor with his shoes on. 4 - They used my ladder to do the high ceilings without asking me. The owner said that they should not have been using my ladder anyway. 5 - They used the wrong ceiling paint. Because I asked them to touch up the edges on one room that I painted, they asked if I had the paints so that there won't be a color mismatch. I brought leftover paint into the room where they needed it, and they thought it meant that I wanted the cheap behr ceiling paint on all the ceilings, that they should use all the paint I bought, and that they had permission to go through a closed room (cannot lock) to find 2-3 more gallons of ceiling paint. But it perplexes me because I asked them several questions at the walkthrough like: Are you using all Benjamin Moore paints? Do they have a standard white ceiling paint? The owner said he would reimburse me for the paint used, but there's another problem (item #6). 6 - They used the wrong wall and ceiling paint in the bathroom. During the walkthrough, I also asked if they would use specific bath paint for the walls and ceilings (b/c of moisture). They said yes. However, they used my cheap behr ceiling paint in the bathroom, which is not mold-resistant. Also, they used eggshell finish on the bathroom walls. Benjamin Moore has a specific kitchen/bath paint, and satin finish is more recommended than eggshell for bathrooms. ***The work they did in the bathrooms had to be redone because they used the wrong type of paints. 7 - The painters seemingly used the drop cloths on carpet floors only because I found a gob of paint and a circular swipe on my kitchen floor, spots on my dishwasher and on the top of my refrigerator doors, on two bathroom countertops (1/8 in dot to 1/2 in streak), on the shower wall and its flat surfaces at the top, and multiple swipes on the small shower bar over the nook that can hold soap. Quality =============================== 8 - The painters damaged the property and marked walls that they weren't requested to paint. I found multiple knicks to the door trim from getting their ladder through. I found two knicks on my shower wall that are from their ladder. They swiped ceiling paint on a wall that I didn't ask them to paint. On that same wall, they swiped their ladder on it, leaving a green mark that's visible from 3 feet away. They also put some kind of oil on another wall that they weren't supposed to paint, as there's a dark streak/drip (at least 1 ft) on it. They said they don't know what I want to do about those situations, so they're my problem now. *** I needed to pay more to fix their mistakes. 9 - The owner said the bathroom the painters considered done needed one more coat. In several areas, I could see through to the original paint color. 10 - The painters were lazy painting in one area. It was at the bottom on the front side of a bathroom countertop. The area is not too visible when standing. At the same time, it's not hard to reach either. Orcutt's painters just swiped it, and they didn't even cover all of the previous painter's swipe. So there's three colors, white, the original paint, and the new paint. 11 - Where I asked them to touch up the edges, they overlaid the wall paint onto the ceiling and then painted the ceiling. However, they did not put enough ceiling paint the keep the wall paint from seeping through. I'm sure we could've fixed it at the final walkthrough. 12 - There were areas where they would've needed a few swipes of trim paint from me because they painted over my trim. At the same time, I do appreciate the owner's desire to complete the job and fix the issues presented and willingness to fit this job into his schedule (we started maybe 2 weeks after our initial contact). The painters did not eat on my carpet and left a box of trash. They also informed me about issues like how I needed more coats of paint on the ceiling to cover up the wall paint that bleeded onto the ceiling so that I'm not surprised at the end. Ultimately, after speaking with the owner, we decided to end the job unfinished.

"Lester and his team did a great job on our bathroom remodel. He is very detail oriented: the insides of the walls were just as neat and clean as the final finish of the walls, tile, and fixtures. And he was very easy to work with. We hand built a custom cabinet to replace the old bathroom closet. For many contractors, having a homeowner perform part of a remodel could have been difficult for them. Lester took it all in stride and adjusted his workflow to let us do our part. We are very pleased with the final result. We recommend American Bath Works highly and would hire them again in a minute."

"The initial build went reasonably well. We did find problems which they did come back and fix. I noticed a railing support that was cracked. I was told that I must of done it, that was that. The plugs that cover the screw holes in the stairs are falling out. I looked for some at Home Depot, but couldn't find the right color. I still had Chase's cell #, so I texted him and asked if he could send me some plugs, and I would do it myself. No response. Tried again the next day, still no response. I'm not surprised. Aging the build was decent, price was higher than most. Now that nearly 2 years have gone by, and customer service should be anticipated, nothing. Never again."

That's why I treat everyone of my customers as I would have want these no show contractors treat me with the respect and professionalism I deserved.

"! EXCEPTIONAL ! Starting with great listening to the attention to details that I was most excited about, to Edian’s / Alexis superior preparation & commitment to on time start & completion, Edian’s professionalism yielded 2 huge projects that are an absolute joy to behold. Edian’s extraordinary attention to details is so far beyond my expectations, that he actually improved upon my architect / engineer’s structural design. I will admit that I expect much much more than most & Edian truly exceeded my standard of ‘triple redundancy’ when it comes to structural strength, safety & my ‘100 year goal’ for major ‘capital’ level projects. His work is so above and beyond, that several tradespeople have commented on the extraordinary level of workmanship! I have had the pleasure of working with Edian on 2 huge reconstructions of porches. For both, he scheduled well in advance and then he & crew showed up a few days early, completing these massive projects on time. Yes, you read that correctly, ON TIME. He & his crew have an exceptional ‘culture!’ They were here everyday, without exception, always cheerful & laser focused on their dedication to getting the job done according to Edian’s strict codes of on time progress. I wish I had space to say more! In short, I cannot wait until I have more work for Edian / Alexis!"

"Pedro and his team were excellent. They were professional and timely, hard-working and meticulous, and trustworthy. Best of all (at least for me), is that Pedro is VERY responsive and his team is assigned to get your job done and done correctly. They show up on time every day, and were willing to work late into the evening to hit the project milestones. Pedro was 100% clear about the costs, and he made sure I fully understood the areas where the costs were not known or where the costs could possibly change. For example, he said, "If you open up this wall, I'm not sure what we are going to find." I told him to proceed and his team opened up that wall and found that the previous contractor had installed literally zero insulation. Pedro met with me, reviewed what his team had found, went over all of our options, gave me his recommendation, and only proceeded when I completely approved the additional work that would be done and the additional cost entailed. Pedro is a true partner and his team does great work. I cannot recommend them enough. My wife and I have already booked them for another job renovating a first floor porch and creating a roof over the open-air second floor porch."

He came over and told me that this was a different leak. After I saved up enough money, I was referred to an expert in basement leaks/foundations. He came over and completed the work. When he was doing the work, he proactively asked me who did the work previously. He said he was clearly not done by someone with knowledge of foundations. I have tried to resolve with Eric.

FAQs for countertop repair projects in Framingham, MA
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
