Hi, I’m Michael, a hands-on problem solver with experience in everything from carpentry and home repairs to tech troubleshooting and custom DIY projects. I’ve led the construction of my own home as a Texas general contractor, and I enjoy helping people fix problems the right way without overcomplicating things. Whether it’s installing, repairing, building, or figuring out frustrating computer issues, I focus on honest communication, quality work, and treating your home like it’s my own.

I would like to introduce myself as Leonel Gonzalez, with 7 years of experience in the construction industry. I’ve worked in remodeling of courthouses in Texas which consisted of carpentry such as installing baseboards, cabinets, window trims, custom doors and other furniture. Therefore I also have experience in paint and stain jobs. \nConsidering my self a responsible, honest, and respectful person towards others everything I do is to provide for my family.

"Very professional service. Shutters were high quality and installation went very well. I plan to use them again.
"

"We've used this company 2x at least in the past. Still providing good screens at competitive pricing."

"Went really well. We used A Better Shutter for about 25 jobs now. It has gone smoothly and the have done very well."

"They did an excellent job. They spent the first day prepping and repairing any areas prior to the second day that was painting."

"He stands by his word, if no repairs to be done - its no cost.  He took the piece found on the roof, which he can use in the future.
Turns out that the previous company just left a boot and the storm moved it to an area we could see it.

" Original Review
I had roof damage from the hail storm that moved through the McKinney area in March of 2017. I contacted Braden from Acclaim (he had previously been by my house & did a roof inspection & wanted to repair the roof at that time but I hadn't owned it when I'm guessing another storm had been through) and setup an inspection. So far, so good. Braden was out to inspect within a day or two & we worked with my insurance adjuster to get that part done. When my insurance came to inspect they noticed screen damage on all of my windows so that was written in as well. I bring this up to say that the sub-contractor they used to have this work done was extremely professional and took great pride in his work. Sorry for the digression: back to the roof repair review. Boiled down, during the roof replacement a small section of decking was damaged (see attached pictures). I sent the pictures to my insurance company & Acclaim also contacted them to ask for additional money to repair the damaged decking but my insurance company noted that the damage wad not part of the storm damage that it was caused by the contractor's that were working on my roof. So I'm putting this review out here to show the damaged decking (see attached pictures) & hopefully I can come back and edit my review to show that Acclaim fixed the damage caused by the repair. To date I've been unhappy with how this has been handled - Acclaim says that the builder used "cheap material" to put the roof on originally & that that is the cause. However, it is only damaged in the areas I've shown & if the decking was in such bad shape why wasn't this mentioned on the original inspection of the roof. In any case, I'll follow up here and list the final resolution with pictures and more details.

Acclaim (Lloyd & Whitney) got back with me and they arranged to replace the decking that was damaged and make my roof look (internally & externally) awesome. I appreciate them for taking ownership of the issue because in their view it was something that my insurance company should have paid for. They came out, pulled the old damaged decking out and put in new decking and shingles. Everything looks as it should."

"New windows were installed quickly and they look great."

"It went very well and they were very helpful. I worked with Harriet and she was great to work with. She even gave me her cell phone number so I could call her anytime.  The showroom is beautiful. They have a huge selection to choose from and they help you choose how much you need.  I had to exchange some tile and they were wonderful to work with."
