Mario Avalos is a conscientious, knowledgeable and efficient person who strives to assists his customers in all requested tasks that will make their projects the successful venture they envision. His rates are reasonable and he does not state a figure and change it or lengthen the time period once these details have been settled on. He is clear on what he can do, how long it will take, the materials needed and the cost of the project. The most impressive trait I observed is his innate ability to really let you know he is "actively listening" to your concerns, questions etc. That is a talent that is in short supply with most contractors today. This ability to listen to and relate with others was effectively supplemented with patience. His competence and dedication to assisting me were the most significant factors in the success of many projects on my property. His true character was shown when after my wife passed he came by to offer condolences and insisted he help my with numerous difficult tasks and did so for 2-3 days "non-gratis." Obviously he did not need to do this but stated it was the least he could do for a fine decent lady of whom he respected a great deal. Thank you Mario. It was my good fortune to meet and work with him. It will be your good fortune, if he works for you. I believe he would make significant and positive contributions to whatever project, task, or details he is hired to perform. He certainly went above and beyond whatever requests and details I asked him to perform. I will continue to hire him as long as wants to work for me.
Description of Work: Mario excels in whatever he does, electric, concrete, woodworking, landscaping, remodeling etc. He has worked for me for 12 years and I will continue to seek his services for as long as he is available. That is one issue however, since he is so competent he is always employed so I have to wait for his services--he is worth the wait. My neighbors have commented on how hard he works when they observe him doing his tasks

Mario does very good work and when you have questions or concerns, he will come back until he gets it to your satisfaction. He is very personable and responds to E mails daily. My deck looks beautiful and his attention to detail on woodworking and painting projects has been excellent. He rebuilt my wood trim around doorway (front and rear) with wood composite that will require little maintenance and probably outlast the house! I have used him several times for projects. Sometimes he has emergencies that come up with his other staff, that might cause him to leave for a few hours and then return, but he always comes back to finish the job. He is also very honest and trustworthy. Recently he refinished and repainted my front wrought iron railings and did a fabulous job.
Description of Work: I have used Mario to rebuild my deck with composite materials, rebuild kickouts on home, do exterior painting, and refinish and repaint exterior railings. Prices were reasonable for the job being done.

Please see above.
Description of Work: Mario -- the man who IS Avalons Design -- has done a number of jobs for me over the past several years: Replaced my deck and all of my home's exterior wood trim (both with Azek); installed an attic ladder and fan; and patched my roof. Right now we're working on installation of cove lighting in the master bedroom. Recently he's also installed new kitchen cabinetry for a neighbor and fixed a garbage disposer for a relative. In all cases I, and they, have been delighted. He's a talented, hard-working, earnest, amiable, solid citizen and family man. I've hesitated to write about him on Angie's List because I've selfishly not wanted him to become so busy that he's less available. So unfair -- to him! So here it is. I recommend Mario for whatever you need done. There truly seems to be no limit to what this gentleman -- and the equally good folks he brings into bigger jobs -- can accomplish, and always with real quality...and at a fair price.

roofing

I had hoped to have the roof replaced during warmer weather, but after an extremely heavy rainfall it was evident that I had a major roof leak and I could not delay the replacement without serious property damage. Mario works fast, is professional, and truly cares about his workmanship. And he guarantees his work. Mario also replaced a burned out attic exhaust fan and reported on the "health" of the gutters.
Description of Work: I had an emergency roof repair in January. Mario quickly and immediately replaced the roof so that further damage would not occur. The work was done neatly with minimal debris left behind.

gutter repair
  + -1 more
Mario has worked w/ our neighborhood with gutter cleaning. The civic association gets a cleaning list and Mario gives us excellent prices and service, usually cleaning everyone's gutters in one day. He also gives nice discounts to senior citizens. If you're looking for a group discount, it's worth the effort to line up the customers and provide him a list of names and addresses after negotiating fair prices. After being the neighborhood "coordinator" for these efforts, I knew I could trust his work and work ethic. When he suggested the composite boards, I asked around and found out the material is actually more difficult to work with, and the suggestion was honestly for the long view - superior materials that won't warp and will not require maintenance. Unlike vinyl, the appearance won't warp.
Description of Work: The fascia boards were rotted and needed to be replaced with composite board. The gutters were also replaced with a wider/larger downspout with an extension away from the foundation of the house to protect the basement from excessive moisture.
