Timely for the amount of work needed. Paid by the job at hand, not hourly (which is good). He exceeded my expectations, very friendly, and just an overall good worker. I highly recommend this company and him. Fantastic service overall.

Sal Love was responsive, friendly and courteous. He could easily have just performed the requested task, but he noticed problems and made suggestions to mitigate the problems. His work was superb. He pays attention to detail, and makes sure that the job is done correctly.

We have an old house that shifts quite a bit in dry weather. It will no doubt be replaced in the next few years, so it isn't worth pouring money into major repairs, but we do want to keep it comfortable to live in. There was a large hole in a closet where drywall had pulled away from a shifting stud and the closet rod bracket had collapsed. There was also an ugly half-inch drywall gap in one corner of the kitchen due to the shifting. One of our bedrooms was missing the left-hand piece of door trim, and our front door wouldn't stay latched without the deadbolt in place. Sal was responsive and communicative by text. We arranged a time for him to look at the work and give me and estimate, and he arrived right on time (on a Sunday!). He's very experienced and gave accurate estimates of time and costs for all of these small jobs; he didn't try to upsell me on more work than we needed, or would have been appropriate for our very old house. You can tell immediately that he is reliable and trustworthy. We agreed on scope and pricing, and he was able to get to work right away. After running to store for materials, he repaired the closet and then kitchen before texturing them both, all in just a few hours. This work would have easily taken me the whole weekend, and wouldn't have looked nearly as great! Sal did extra work to make sure the repairs would be strong and durable, and I really appreciated the way he took care to locate the gas lines inside the wall before starting. After the drywall, Sal took care of the missing door trim, and adjusting the front door latch. We had agreed on a price for all of the trim around the door, but he was able to match the existing pieces perfectly, and only charged for the portion he replaced. He kept everything clean while he worked, and cleaned up diligently afterward. I was very satisfied with Sal's work, and comfortable having him in my home. I'll definitely have him back for the next round of repair jobs as soon as I can.

Sal is very busy, so I appreciated that he took the time to come talk to me quickly. I told him I was getting my home ready to rent and he walked with me around the house to identify what needed to be done. He told me that there were some things he couldn't do and that needed to be done before other maintenance could be done. I am going to get the other jobs done, then go back to Sal for the rest. He was very professional.

I have been searching for a reliable handyman for years and years and years. Why is it so hard to find someone reliable, skilled, and fairly priced in this industry?? I am SO GLAD I came across AAA Handyman. Sal has been awesome and will be my go to handyman going forward. He is meticulous and detail oriented. He is a perfectionist and he has a wide variety of skills. We just bought a new house and had several things we needed to address from the inspection report. He fixed several doors that were "stuck", installed handrails for our stairwells, repaired and secured our stair treads, hung numerous mirrors/frames/art, fixed the rotten wood in our window sills, painted, aligned door cabinets, repaired a sofa that had a cracked frame, anchored a tv console to the wall, fixed the pool gate door, repaired a rain gutter, and repaired our drywall (taping, floating, texture, prime, paint). He is not the cheapest around but he does a fantastic job and you can count on him - something I've found rare in this industry. I will definitely hire him again in the future!

Sal did an excellent job taping, floating, and texturing the walls of my remodeled bathroom. He took the sheet-rocked walls and prepared them for painting. He was professional, punctual, and very personable. I highly recommend him.

Sal is very punctual and comes prepared every day with material and tools and ladders etc. to accomplish the days work. Never has to leave to get anything. He is very diligent and knows his trades very well. The quality is by far better than just a "handyman". His work is well planned and executed. He is very knowledgeable about the various tasks to be accomplished. He is efficient and makes sure to clean up each are once he has completed that area before moving to the next. We feel lucky to have found someone as knowledgeable and skillful to have worked on our house. We will definitely use his services again when required.

Sal did a fantastic job repairing the water damaged ceiling in my garage. The master bathtub drain had a slow leak, which eventually caused visible water damage to the subfloor/garage ceiling. After the drain was fixed Sal installed new insulation (the water damaged insulation had to be thrown away), covered the hole with new sheetrock that had to be cut in the ceiling by the water mitigation experts, and redid the textured ceiling so you can't even tell there was an issue. He really did an amazing job. In fact, I'm having him come back to fix some other things that I know need to be done, but simply don't have time to do with having younger kids and all.

Sal is the most wonderful handyman I've ever met! He is courteous, on-time and professional. His work is meticulous and precise and I could not be happier with the end result. I feel like I've finally found the perfect professional to help me with all kinds of jobs around my home. I highly recommend Sal with AAA Handyman Home Improvement for all of your handyman needs!

Sal was awesome! It is so difficult to find a reliable, honest, and fair worker these days and I was so grateful to have found Sal. He exceeded expectations with the work and I am so excited with the quality and end result. Sal also took extra care to keep things clean and also cleaned up after himself which was greatly appreciated. In addition, he was also super great with my kiddo who asked a million questions to which he paused what he was doing to explain his tools. Lastly, he said he was going to finish in 2 days and he actually did! After working with several other contractors and subcontractors I didn't think that was possible. Sal was truly terrific and I'm working on a list for him to work on next!

WOW, was I lucky to have found Sal! Not only is he an incredibly talented craftsman, he is also a very nice, honest man. He returned my call and came out quickly to look at the bathroom. He carefully evaluated the situation and explained exactly what needed to be done. He worked with me to schedule the project and stay within my budget. He worked very carefully and the work area stayed unbelievably clean. He did a SUPER job and even did a few extra things for me to help me out. (We visited about healthy living, too - he is very knowledgable about that.) I highly recommend him and will definitely call him again.

It went fantastically! Sal was very responsive and very friendly. He went out of his way to make sure the baseboards matched the rest of my home both in style and paint color and made sure they looked fantastic! He also took the time to touch up spots along the baseboards with the color I had painted the walls. He was very kind and very professional. Excellent work!

Sal is a lovely man! He was very pleasant. He said it was to big of a job for him which was very disappointing. 

He was very kind and considerate. I would absolutely use him again.

The handyman seemed knowledgeable, but said we needed to get the city of Austin to replace our asbestos siding, which we recently had painted, and feared that we had lead in our old windows. He told me that if I contacted the city, that all the siding, Windows, and drywall would be replaced at no cost to me. Then, he contacted me the next day to say that he couldn't help with these repairs because of the asbestos and the potential for lead. He was really nice, so if you have an older home, this is not the handyman service for you.

Sal was a consummate professional. He saw what we needed, and after speaking with him we discovered that there was more structural work to be done before he could do his part. Sal made it a point to *not* take our business, so we wouldn't end up paying twice for the same work. He stayed and chatted, showed us how to make minor fixes to hold us until the structural work is done, and didn't charge us a penny. Just a truly honest guy. I'd recommend him unreservedly, and we're undoubtedly going to hire him when the time comes.

Response from AAA Handyman Home Improvement

"Hi, I first want to say happy holidays to every Angie's List member and management. Our job is to respond to our customers and serve them well. However, we as human-beings sometimes have issues (i.e. family, phone, car issues, etc.) and we cannot respond quickly. We offer free estimates and advice to the customers so they get the best experience. I take one job at a time and focus entirely on it. Whenever I work in a customer's home, I avoid speaking aloud and arranging different business on my phone. That is why, while I am working in a customer's home and receive a call, I respond via text message out of respect for the customer and their home. For Mr. [Member Name Removed], I received his call on 9/28/16 at 12:47pm. I responded, via text message, saying "Hello. Thank you or calling AAA Handyman Home Improvement. Sorry but I cannot help you. I wish you luck on the project." The reason we could not assist Mr. [Member Name Removed] at the time is because I had a family health emergency. We would like to thank Mr. [Member Name Removed] for calling us and I apologize for the miscommunication at the time. And with this I will look to improve communication. For all Angie's List customers, if your phone does not receive text message, please let us know in your message so we can properly communicate with you. Thank you all again and happy holidays."

Message stated they do not take any work requiring plumbing or electrical
Response from AAA Handyman Home Improvement

"I appreciate all the customers of Angie's list and Angie's List itself. Everyone is a specialist with something, I am a handyman, specialized in drywall. I don't do plumbing and electrical work because I am not licensed. There is nothing with that. It is not fair for someone to rate us like that because we do not specialize in these areas of work. Good luck to this customer with her project, hopefully she gets someone who is licensed and can help her out."

Sal is a very conscientious knowledgeable worker. If he comes across a problem in the job that was not anticipated, he will share his expertise with you and fix it if possible. He is interested in doing the job right and making sure everything is solid so it does not have to be done again. We now have a very sturdy access panel to our appliances. Sal added unexpected finishing touches and cleaned up the area when finished. Thank you, Sal. He also has some very good recipes!

It took four or five hours to rehang and seal an interior door to the garage that had been improperly hung and had been cut too short by a previous contractor.  He had to buy paint and a threshold to take up the space at the bottom of the door.  He did an excellent job and took pride in his work.  I was glad I found him and will have him back again.

A poorly installed double-bar towel holder on a bathroom wall caused the bar to list and tore off a chunk of drywall  with it.
Prior to doing the work, Sal came by a weekend earlier to inspect the wall.  He also made sure we had the proper paint needed to cover the repair.
On the day of the appointment, Sal arrived well within the time-frame we agreed on. His repair is perfect.!  You would never know there had been a gaping hole and bent screws on that wall. He not only did a beautiful job of repainting the entire wall but he also cleaned off sloppy looking paint from a few places on the grout which were left by the painter prior to our having moved in.    So Sal left the wall in far better shape than we had in the first place.  He cleaned up every bit of dust from the job before he left.  
Sal is friendly, positive and, most importantly, he is capable, experienced  and takes pride in his work.
I highly recommend him for any drywall project.

I last employed Mr. Sal Love's services three years ago this month.  I was very pleased with his work then and was not disappointed this time.  His response was timely, and we scheduled a time for him to come to see what was needed, the primary thing being the installation of safety measures being met with assist bars being installed throughout our home to prevent potential falls.  Mr. Love assessed the areas of concern, suggested certain bars for different areas, purchased the materials, offered several options as to location, quality of selections, and spent time explaining pros and cons of different selections as well.  While this may appear outwardly as a simple task, it is not, and even more difficult is finding someone to take on a "small job" that does not involve several thousand dollars.  In addition Mr Love attended to the other small tasks mentioned above, doing those jobs with the same exactness that he always does with any job before him.
Mr. Love is a professional who is patient, polite, and kind, who listens to his clients and does his utmost to bring an end- product  that is satisfactory in every way.  I recommend Mr. Love for jobs both large and small if you want quality work done in your home.
