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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Called Yamil to get a big and boy was he fast to come out. He asked good questions. Had good ideas. Gave me detailed bid that had items in it that made sense. And he was very honest about his availability to do the job. Timing did not work out, but will certainly consider his company for future work.

I called and left 2 messages and sent an email. I never received a response. I can't grade on quality of work but, professionalism is an "F" and I will never use this company.

My company manages projects on behalf of absentee homeowners and our process includes collecting at least 3 bids for any job to make sure the contractors hired are competitive. I don't ever call a company that I wouldn't use if their bid was the most competitive. That being said, I called the owner of Home Improvement and Repair, and left a message, he was quick to return my call but once we started chatting it was clear he did not want my business. He told me his timeline was too tight to bid on a project and he had "real" customers to take care of. Never, ever again will I call him.
Response from Home Improvement and Repair

"Thank you for leaving a review and I apologize for the inconvenience, what I meant by "Real" customers was that I primarily do business with homeowners directly and since your company is out of state as well, this can not be my priority at the moment, I'm sorry that I was not able to give you a bid at your request as you wanted it "ASAP" I currently do not have time on my schedule to complete the project that your previous contractor had left unfinished. Thank you for contacting me, I wish the best for your business and for the outcome of your project -Yamil"

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.
