Home Improvement and Repair

Yamil with Home Improvement and Repair is the best. He is very detail oriented, and is very efficient. We are so thankful for his help and expertise.

Yamil was great! He worked carefully and did a great job. I thought his estimate was low and I was fine with paying him more and I thought the quality of his work warranted an extra 100. Great guy with very high standards! I will hire him again, for sure!

The entire experience could not have been any better. The work was done on an agreed schedule after the initial assessment. All of the work was completed over two days. The new posts look better than the old ones.

Excellent work at a very reasonable price, and super quick! Very friendly. Highly recommended.

Yamil did a wonderful job and is extremely honest and wanted complete satisfaction from us as a customer. We appreciate the great work and pride he has in his work and he is extremely friendly as well.

Great job. Trim work was installed and looks better than the original. Interior paintwork was great - no overpaint or splatters. The door is a perfect fit and the installation was of better quality than the original installation.

We strongly recommend him for anyone looking for a great carpenter/contractor. We are so impressed with his quality of work, dependability and neatness.

I just had some major work done on my house to repair the results of a water leak into the walls at my chimney. Yamil repaired the framework, replaced the sheathing and the siding on the chimney and repaired the sheet-rock on the inside of the wall. When Yamil was done on the outside I had an all new chimney and on the inside I had new sheetrock and paint matched so well you can’t tell there was work done. The work was done professionally and the job site was kept clean. He covered the entire work area inside with protective thick paper to keep floors clean and protected during the work. The work area was cleaned each night before he went home. Yamil was friendly and he took pride in the quality of his work. He is an old school craftsman. I would not hesitate to call on him for any home improvement or repair. Work was finished on estimate and on time.

It went very well.

Great Job, Fast Service and great price!

Yamil was extremely professional and skillful. I would definitely hire him again. I’ve already recommended him to friends

I was very impressed and happy with the work that Yamil did. There are so many things that I liked about how he went about his business. 1) When I first called him and explained what I was thinking, he told me that he was really busy at the moment, but if I could wait a little bit, he would get back in touch with me. And he did; he didn't forget me. 2) I was originally thinking that I should replace the entire cedar façade. But Yamil showed me where the rotten wood was and what could still be used to reduce the cost. 3) We had exterior cedar shelving that was imbedded within the rock siding and would have cost quite a bit more to completely replace. Yamil came up with a great idea for using part of the good, existing shelving to serve as an underlying anchor for a larger and stronger looking shelf. His idea was so creative and looks so much better than what originally came with the house. 4) I also appreciate the time he spent with me thinking about and reviewing the stain colors for the cedar façade. He made sure that I would be happy with the result before he started. 5) His first day to work onsite was perhaps the coldest day of the year... we hit 30 degrees at our house that morning. And he was there working early. I would not have minded had he decided to skip that morning for sure, but he had committed to doing the job and he was there. Can't say enough about how happy I was to have found Yamil and happy about the job he did.

Yamil was friendly and professional. He arrived at 9:00 AM and finished at 11:00 AM. He repaired the wall, obtained the correct paint and matched the color of the repaired area with the rest of the wall.

It went very well! It wasn't as simple as it could have been, but he did an amazing job and exceeded our expectations!

Yamil made all of the requested repairs timely. He was friendly and professional. The price was very reasonable.

I requested Yamil to paint my vaulted ceilings In living area and kitchen area, which have large beams and lighting fixtures as well as ceiling fans. Yamil and Martin arrived to my home and began by moving furniture into one location and protecting from paint and proceeded to cover entire carpet for protection and masking off required items. When using Yamil and company you have no worries, They are professional and take pride in their work and go above and beyond to take care of your home as if they would their own. Upon completing job they placed all items back into place, vacuumed and except for the wonderful paint job they did, you would never know they were there. If you are looking for a contractor who is knowledgeable, professional and does what he says he will do, He is the man for the job. I stand behind Yamil and company, and look forward to working with him on future projects I need done. As Yamil would say no worries we'll get it done.

Yamil came to my home and I explained everything I wanted to do. He quoted price and I accepted for him to do the work. He scheduled work for the next day and showed up on time. He put down protection for carpeting and deck entrance to home and began work. You could not ask for a more conscience and respectful contractor doing work inside your home. He completed all work and cleaned up and even vacuumed area, finished product was beautiful. I could not be happier with the work he done. Yamil is a true gentleman. He is honest and shows a lot of integrity in his work. He is always smiling and has a wonderful sense of humor also. I have already set up for him to do more work for me. It was a blessing finding him to do the work for me and will be a blessing having him to do future work for me. Great Job, Well done.

We tried for weeks to get a more general handyman to perform the work we needed, which was to replace wooden posts along our porches. Finally we gave up and looked to specialists, and I'm so glad we did! Yamil took what seemed to be a small job very seriously, putting in a solid two days of work to completely replace several rotten posts. From start to finish he was prompt and professional, talking over the project on phone, viewing it in person, and emailing a quote in the span of 2 days. He started working early on the following week, explaining his ideas and being upfront about material costs when we decided to upgrade the lumber. He also matched our existing paint perfectly. He was super respectful of our home, neighbors, and yard the entire time. The best thing was the level of craftsmanship--he didn't just replace our posts, he improved them with some really nice details and made sure they were structurally sound, even when that meant repairing other parts of the railing as well. I would 100 percent use Yamil's company again!

Great service and quality of the work. Protected floors and other areas that were not painted. Cleaned up and replaced furniture that was moved for the painting.

Great job. Worked with us on selecting materials. Job site was always kept in a neat and professional manner. Job was done on time and for the estimated price. Would definitely use again.

What a great experience working with Yamil! We love the work he did--especially the way he co-partnered with us in the design. The living room shelves are located in a unique area and his suggestions were spot on. The finished product was even better than I had envisioned. If you're a fan of the little things, you'll like this: I was very appreciative of the way Yamil and his worker kept the outside door closed as they came and went to their carpentry equipment. It kept the flies to a minimum and the house as cool as possible. You don't always get that level of consideration. If you're like me, you think "the little things" are indicative of the care people take with their actual work. In Yamil's case, you would be 100% correct. We would definitely hire him again. In fact, we plan to when we start our master bath renovation.

After contacting Yamil, he came to the house. We did a walk thru discussing all the work that I needed done, which was a lot.  Yamil was very thorough when discussing what I wanted done. Discussed everything from caulking trim, baseboards, nail holes, items to be removed off the walls before painting all the way to where I wanted them to clean paint brushes, pans, etc. I probably drove him crazy with questions but he never showed it. That night I received an email with his proposal/estimate attached.  After agreeing to proposal and starting date, they arrived on time each morning and were on time daily until the project was completed.  During the project I found some additonal work that needed to be done. He updated his proposal that night and brought it to me to sign the next morning.  He had another job after mine and asked if he could work on Sat and Sunday so he could get the additional work completed. I agreed since the additional work I had requested would extend his workload/timeline and I also wanted it done quickly as possible. They never missed a day until the job was completed except for one day when he had a minor problemwith his truck.  He (they) worked very quickly and were receptive to feedback, questions and minor adjustments along the way.  

The floor in master bedroom and middle bedroom  is 2” lower than floor in hall. Yamil was able to transition the 6” baseboards by making slanted cuts on each side where floor changed levels. He was also able to locate bead board that matched the bead board we bought 7-8 years ago. He hung the new bead board where the stripes matched the existing bead board stripes in the living room! He even managed to match the stain on the knotty pine beams to the stain we had put on 7-8 years earlier. He was also able to cut down my shades to fit the new window casings on 4 large windows. He is truly amazing!!! Job started 02/25/16 and was completed 03/17/16.

Yamil is pleasant, energetic, humorous and easy to work with. He is a skilled craftsman.  Martin who seemed to be his right hand man was also very nice and the best painter I have ever seen. Yamil had other crew members on site as needed. Everyone who came to my house, worked hard. They were all very respectful and pleasant. They cleaned up completely at the end of each day. They even vacumn..

Yamil came on a Saturday, the day after I called him, to give us an estimate and we signed a contract. He returned alone the following Monday and began the demo work. His assistant, Martin, appeared the next day and began work on the siding. The work was flawlessly done and completed within four days. The initial estimate increased by over $1,000 as new problems emerged, but I believe this is normal for a house built in 1942, and we feel grateful that at least in these areas we don't have to worry about further surprises. Yamil is a very pleasant and energetic man as well as a skillful craftsman, and Martin turned in exacting and beautiful work on the siding. They did a great job on everything we asked for, and an unusually good job of cleaning up the site. We're very happy and hope to have them again soon to do some interior work.
