"Good points:  they were punctual.
Bad points:  they left trash in the yard that I had to pick up; the ceiling in the room that his crew painted has bled through stains that he failed to correct even after I pointed them out; they were rushed the entire time; they took shortcuts and did not paint under the outlet covers and I had to ask them to go back since I had bought all new covers and the old paint showed and still they failed to paint under all of them so I had to go back and paint it myself; a piece of furniture that Mr. Bautista worked on still has a sticking door and now needs to be stained because he took off so much wood with his planer; a member of his crew parked on the grass two of the three days they were here when I asked them not to park there; it took three people to install the ceiling fan after much trouble and they had almost given up on it and told me that I would have to take the fan back after it was in pieces; Mr. Bautista was in a rush the entire time which led to mistakes and trash left in my yard; it was obvious that Mr. Bautista was not interested in working on my house; it is difficult to contact Mr. Bautista by telephone because he never picks up; and there were gobs of white mud or spackling dropped on closets doors.  The mud was removed but not painted over even though he was using the same color paint.  Mr. Bautista later mentioned his rich clients and I later realized that was the reason for his apathy on my job.  Mr. Bautista seemed more interested in his rich clients.  I paid him in full the same day he completed his work.  But he refused to correct the problems I pointed out with the ceiling paint.  Please view the photos attached.
More bad points:  Mr. Bautista borrowed my sander to work on my furniture and he installed the sand paper incorrectly.  I have to buy a new plate on the bottom of the sander.  The door he worked on still sticks so I will have to work on it myself and then stain it.  After his use of his electric planer, I lost confidence in his work, became worried about my furniture and objected to the bad smell coming from the planer.  
I told Mr. Bautista about the trash in the yard but he did not come back to get it.  I found another piece of trash this week. 
Later, I found out that Mr. Bautista is very successful and has a lot of "rich clients" and wants to keep his reputation and will not work on my house because I thought his workers had inadvertently taken my rubber hammer.   Because I had to paint after him, I had to get out the paint, and couldn?t find my hammer to close the paint can.  I had a lot of my own painting tools out in the same room his workers were in and thought they had inadvertently picked it up.  I later found it and apologized before he ever read the first email because I wrote the email late at night.  I sent the second email before he would have received the first one but he used that excuse to say that he would not work on my house again as previously promised although I do not want him back.  Since he thinks that I am not a rich client as he mentioned them, he did not seem to care much about me.  Perhaps that
explains for the substandard rushed work.    
He told me about how successful he was this year and last.  He also told me that although he had a $30,000 construction license, he gets around it by separating jobs into smaller jobs and can make considerably more than $30,000 on a job.  His brother was building a house.  I consider that unethical and greedy.  There are more than 3 workers on his crews as
it states on the description of his business.

"This job was pretty challenging because it required that a house that had been aesthetically neglected for the past 5-10 years be updated.  In addition, time was of the essence because I had to travel in from out of state to oversee the changes/updates.  The following was done:
All walls, ceilings and internal doors painted
Repaired wall crack
  • Hardware added to all cabinets
  • Fixtures updated on 2 bathrooms and kitchen sink
  • Bathroom shower curtain rods, towel bars, etc. installed
  • Ceiling Fans installed
  • Toilet Rebuilds
  • New blinds installed in whole house
  • Various small repairs

We were extremely happy with the quality of work done and the professionalism exhibited by the Western Handyman of Western Wake County staff. 
Bruce (the owner) even checked in regularly with us regarding the job status and to ensure that we were happy with the quality of work.  He even came over one night to help paint to when things were looking like they were a little behind schedule.
I would highly recommend Mr. Handyman of Western Wake County to ANYONE!!! Bruce and Andi (the office manager) are delightful beyond words.  They are professional, responsive, thoughtful and accountable.  When we encountered challenges along the way, we were not treated as a nuisance.  We were treated as valued customers.  
Overall, a very positive experience.

Bathroom Fan Installation questions, answered by experts

The direction you want your ceiling fan to move in depends on the season you’re in. During summer, you want it to move counterclockwise to produce a cooling downdraft. During winter, you want it to move clockwise to circulate warm air throughout the room.

Wood stove fans are designed to operate quietly, emitting only a subtle hum from their motor. This low noise level ensures minimal disruption in your living space, allowing you to enjoy the warmth without distraction. The fan blades, which are engineered for efficient air circulation, contribute to the overall quiet operation. This makes wood stove fans a practical choice for maintaining a peaceful environment while effectively distributing heat throughout your room or home.

The number of blades for your fan poses both advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the more blades on a fan, the better the air distribution and cooling effect, but this also means that your fan will have more wear on its motor. For small rooms, three-blade fans should work fine. For larger areas like living rooms, four or five-blade fans might be the better option. 

There are many types of ceiling fans available, each designed for different spaces and needs. Standard ceiling fans are the most common type and work well in most rooms. Low-profile ceiling fans are better suited for rooms with low ceilings. Smart ceiling fans can be controlled with a smartphone or voice commands. For larger spaces with ceilings between 10 and 25 feet high, large ceiling fans are ideal. Dual-motor fans have two motors to produce more airflow in multiple directions. You can also find energy-efficient or Energy-Star models that can be up to 60% more efficient, as well as fans with built-in lights or retractable blades.

While it may seem like it makes sense to put a fan in the attic to cool it down, it won’t be as effective as installing attic fans. Ventilation installed near the peak of the roof, whether passive (just allowing heat to escape) or active (drawing the air up and out) will be more effective at cooling the attic.
