Speed, honesty,
fair pricing.

A small sample of Yelp reviews, reproduced word-for-word. The strongest themes are same-day help, straightforward pricing and Gerardo personally following up with customers.

I just moved and needed my fridge connected to the water line. Gerardo and his guy came the day of my request and did the job. For an emergency same-day request, he charged us less than what others charged us in the past for a regular request. Got him again a few days later to fix the waterflow on our toilets — in less than half an hour. Again, didn't charge anything crazy. Would recommend!

Gary's people did the deglazing of the bathtub. They did a perfect work. Every thing was as he promised. I recommend wholeheartedly.

“Thank you very much Moshe — it was nice meeting you and your wife.”

When they say quick they mean it. Came and took care of my issue at the quoted price. No upselling. Will use again.

They gave me an honest and straightforward assessment for a project which was much appreciated. Looking forward to working with them in the future!

“Thank you very much — anything you need, I'm here to help you.”

Gerardo built and installed a stair baby gate to match my existing stairs. I had spare rails and spindles that he stain-matched and installed with his latches and hinges. He diligently talked over the design and showed how the parts would come together. It turned out very well.

Gerardo and his team performed a great job on my small crown molding project at a very reasonable price. I would definitely work with them again.
