Seamlessly! Called Rick to schedule and he had Matt at my door in less than an hour, smiling, friendly and ready to work. Matt assessed the install quickly and went to work right away. As a long-time local Realtor, I have used Rick previously on client projects with great results. Good, honest, knowledgeable contractors are hard to find these days, which makes Rick especially appreciated!

jNow that he has expanded you dont always get Rick for the jobs, and though Armondo is ok, he dosent always know or understand exactly what you want. For instance, I wanted weather stripping replaced on the bottom of the back door. The last person that did this slipped the weather stripping into a grove on the bottom of the door. His idea was to totally remove the door, and drill on the sides of the door the weather stripping that would wrap around the sides from the bottom of the door. Not only did I not want holes in the sides of the front and back of the door, removing the door would entail several hours of work, in lieu of just minutes slipping in replacement weather stripping. I told him that the door is only several years old and that the groves should be ok. im glad that I first had the discussion before giving a go ahead. I just omitted having this done from the list of things I was having done that day, and will look for someone else to come do this one task.

We have used Rick for a long time. He is reliable, has good prices and tells me the truth. He is just an honest person. His assistant is just as good as him and works just as hard. The things he did at my house were not simple things and he was at my house from about 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. He was working the entire time. I thought his price was reasonable and has always been reasonable.

My bathroom shower handle to control the water on and off got broken. I immediately shut the water off and called Rick Skorka.He came around 1 pm. I asked him to fix the broken handle in my guest bathroom and change the handle in master. He worked until 5:30 pm to fix both and charged me 436 dollars for labor and parts extra. Within two weeks both the handles he fixed were loose and my guest bathroom started leaking, I called him to come by and fix them but he refused to come stating he had appointments fixed weeks ago and he cannot guarantee he can come any time soon. Since the water was leaking I had to call a plumber to fix it which I should have done the first time.
For the trust I put in him, I hope he showed more guarantee for his work.
Response from Rick Skorka

"If there was any truth to the allegations that the customer made in his review I would agree that he had legitimate complaint. Unfortunately, he has misrepresented the facts in each aspect of the review. The customer claims that when his shower control was broken he immediately turned off the water and called me. When I arrived at the customers house he told me that the maid had broken the shower handle. I found his tools laying throughout the bathroom along with the wrong replacement part. The customer tried to make the repair himself and turned a small problem into a much more difficult problem by bending the fitting. The customer also makes the claim that he was charged $436.00 for labor and parts extra. He was actually charged $361.00 for labor and $71.00 for materials. Lastly, he claims that I refused to come and repair the loose and leaking handles. This is his most outlandish falsehood. Anybody that is familiar with my work or knows me will attest to the fact that I don’t behave like that. When the customer called he demanded that I come immediately and fix the handle. I told the customer that I couldn’t come at that second because I was working for customers that had scheduled earlier and I could not just walk off the job. I told the customer that I would call asap to resolve the problem. I called later to see if I could repair the problem but the customer told me that he took care of the problem and slammed down the phone. I realize that there are cultural differences at play here, but if the customer opted to handle the situation in a more civilized fashion I would have offered him a full refund for the labor charge as I fully guarantee customer satisfaction."

Excellent service. On time and very professional. Determined that wrong hardware had been sent with cabinet and went and bought correct hardware. Also found cold water valve to be broken while installing faucet so he replaced that as well. Followed me to parent's house to assess leaking shower and purchased/installed bath rail for elderly parent until shower floor can be fixed. Would definitely hire and use again.

I had a bathroom light fixture that had no power. I had installed an adjacent light fixture incorrectly and I was unaware that this was causing the problem. Rick corrected my faulty installation and this resolved my power issues. I was thrilled how quickly he got my bathroom remodel back on track. He was very generous with knowledge and very patient with my questions. I will definitely use him again.
