"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.

"We were very happy with the work completed by Leon Home Repairs. They were efficient and thorough. The work included installing a new countertop, sink, faucet,, and light fixture in one bathroom and painting the bathroom; removing painted wallpaper from one large wall and smoothing and painting the wall; replacing one set of bifold closet doors and trimming off and adjusting multiple other sets so they would operate smoothly; and replacing large window panels and the door in our front entryway. Dimas, who served as the foreman for the work on our house, also smelled gas in our utility closet and on his own initiative, figured out where the gas leak was and showed us, so we could call someone to come repair that. The team had an excellent range of skills and knowledge to tackle the variety of work we needed them to do. We will definitely call Leon Home Repairs again if we need more work done in the future."

Bathroom Fan Installation questions, answered by experts

Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.

Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.

Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren’t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.

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. 

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

The average life span of a thermoelectric fan operating seasonally is two to three years. However, the life span of a wood stove fan depends on its quality, usage, and maintenance. Regular cleaning of the blades and ensuring the fan operates within its recommended temperature range can help prolong its life span.

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.
