Hi every body, this is Oscar and I know the quality of work I can do for you. I have maintenance experience from different companies. My work is about painting, some flooring, drywall repairs, appliances troubleshooting, gutters and roof cleaning, downspout, dryer vent cleaning and general cleaning services at home. Anything I can help let me know. I speak English, Spanish, and Italian if it’s needed.
"Top marks all the way around for Oscar. Oscar is the best handyman we’ve ever employed. He was everything you want in someone working on your home: excellent communication, reasonable cost, high quality work, prompt, dependable, friendly, neat, cleans up after each day of work, very detail-oriented, and just a really nice guy. He re-screened our 3-season porch, replaced all the exterior wood facings on the porch, hung a new and much improved door on same porch, replaced about 12 feet of cedar privacy fence, and power washed the full exterior of our house. There is no question that we will call Oscar again when we need work done. If you’re looking for a talented handyman, look no further; just call Oscar. "

Established in 2012, a family owned and operated company, with over 50 years expirence in the Environmental industry. We specialize in Asbestos Inspections & Abatement, Universal Waste removal, Lead-Safe Certified and Mold Remediation
"I was VERY disappointed by my experience with DJK Environmental. They had come to me as a recommendation from a realtor, so I thought they’d be good. We paid money to have the asbestos test expedited, which took longer than the timeline DJK gave me and they didn’t even call me when the results were in. They also made a few errors on the quote to remove the asbestos, and again didn’t seem to care about the timeline they had given me or earning the business from us. I had to track them down any time I wanted information . They did not keep me informed about anything which was awful considering the timeline we are on to move into our house. When I got quotes from a couple other companies for the same service, I learned that DJK are price gougers as they were going to charge me 40% more than the other bids. I notified my realtor about the horrible communication, awful pricing & negative experience with DJK to ensure they don’t get business from any of her clients ever again. Stay away from DJK"

#1 Roofing Contractor in Madison, WI. Facility Solutions provides high quality and professional roofing services including full roof replacements and roof repairs. Certifications: GAF installation and Sales Lead Safe renovators
"Do not hire this company. They did a stucco patch job and it looks like a very amateur job. They were going to stucco over trim luckily I caught that before they finished and they did take the trim off and start over, but had I not noticed it in the process of the job I probably wouldn’t have known until it started to fail. They were supposed to put flashing at the bottom of the stucco where it met the roof and didn’t. Stucco contractors are hard to find but do not use this company."

Stucco questions, answered by experts
DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures even application and long-lasting results.
When hiring for your project, look for licensed, insured contractors with experience in stucco removal. Ask them for references, review their past stucco removal projects, and request detailed, written estimates. A reputable stucco removal contractor will explain the entire process, outline all costs, and ensure proper disposal and compliance with local codes.
The easiest way to remove stucco is to use a circular saw with a diamond blade to cut small squares out, pry them off, and then cut the metal lath behind it with tin snips. It’s possible to do everything with a hammer and a crowbar, but it will take significantly longer and will wear you out more quickly. Plus, you’ll have a higher risk of damaging windows, hidden siding, and sheathing if you go the less precise route.
When cleaning stucco siding, it is recommended to use a pressure washer with a psi (pounds per square inch) between 1,500 and 2,000. This range provides sufficient power to remove dirt and grime without causing damage to the stucco surface. It's important to avoid using excessive psi as it can chip or crack the stucco.
Using a wider spray nozzle and keeping a safe distance of about seven to 10 feet from the siding helps ensure a gentle and effective cleaning process. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and adjust the psi accordingly based on the condition of your stucco and the specific requirements of your pressure washer.
The time required to remove stucco siding depends on the size of the home, the thickness of the stucco, and the complexity of the project. Most projects take between two and seven days, but larger or multi-story homes may require more time, especially if repairs are needed after removal is complete.
