PM, Hayward, CA

Rating: 4.7

Reviews:
Very professional, very reliable. He was always concerned that at the end of the day we could still utilize our kitchen to fix meals, do dishes, etc. In other words, we had very little down time, didn't have to eat out during the project, etc. His expertise in all facets-- electrical, plumbing, plastering, etc. Meant less contractors to call. One call got it all, and if he couldn't do it (i.e. the corian countertops) he knew who to call to get the job done . Would highly recommend him to others.

Gary was terrific, and we'll definitely be using him again in the future for our house needs. We've had some bad contractors in the past so we know the difference. He responded quickly to my estimate, which was just for a fence fix, and ended up building a whole new fence, fixing our deck, our kitchen sink broken pipe, some roof details, and a few other things. We were very happy with the communication, attentiveness, thoroughness, quality of work, prices and timing.

Reviews:
Although I ended up having the installer from the door company where I am buying the door do this work, I still am impressed by the politeness, professionalism, and knowledge of construction, etc. shown by Viktor. He indicates a very reasonable hourly rate for his type of work and he even claims to have liability insurance on the work he does so I will plan on calling him to take care of some other handyman type work sometime in the near future!
