Jansiel assembled a big set of shelves with doors. He was very friendly and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend and would definitely hire him again!

I hired Chanko from Taskrabbit for some help with a moving project this past summer, and his professionalism, kindness, ability to communicate and care throughout the experience convinced me to hire him again the following week. And then, again, the following week. And then to help my 80year old mother with a furniture project a few weeks after that. He works brilliantly with other people and was able to bring in additional people who were also wonderful to help with bigger projects, secure a van, communicate with particularly grumpy building staff, seemingly breeze through every obstacle with humor and optimism. He has many technical skills and a great brain for space and design, in addition to his truly remarkable social and emotional intelligences. Honestly, I couldn’t have gotten through this moment (separating from my husband, relocating our kids, renovating and apartment, taking care of my mom,) without his professional support and humanity. What a mensch! Truly the BEST.

Jansiel was Great!!!! He built my home office desk, it was a heavy duty and complex desk that required specific attention to detail. He was organized, focused, friendly and very careful of the space he worked in. Everything was left clean and the desk looks great! Thank you! Highly recommend!

HomeAdvisor allows Service Professionals to post information about themselves and their business on their profile. HomeAdvisor does not review or verify the information representations set forth in those profiles as they are self-reported by the Service Professional.

To find more licensing information for your state, visit our Licensing Requirements page. Note that some states require local or county level licensing and you should verify whether or not your pro is properly licensed.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
