"Fixed an on going problem with our kitchen drain. Did the job quickly and the charges were very reasonable! Guess we have a new plumber!"

"Mr. Jose Cruz is a gentleman, a great listener, and a willing collaborator with homeowners! He was, with his helper, Santos, so excellent in the first job that we hired them again for a much different and MORE COMPLEX project that they were capable of doing but not seeking! Their care, attention, and competence in doing the 2nd job is the backbone of this recommendation. The 1st job was to repair, partially remove, and predict the future needs of our 250-foot, wooden privacy fence. Nicely done already, with options for which we'll hire in the future. The 2nd job was to install our new bathroom vanity; install the new countertop with pre-installed sinks; demolish the 50-year-old built-ins; remove old sinks/plumbing; position the 3 new cabinets vs. an alcove and mismatched flooring; save the mirror above; and save whatever wall tile could be. Jose and Santos did a mathematical process of installing near-fitting pieces patiently and correctly, and I was confident in them at every step. Consider the complexity: a strange-sized alcove (70.25") and 3 separate cabinet- and drawer-bases (69.0") for a large countertop (68.5") with 2 pre-installed sink basins. Everything had to be calculated perfectly, step by step. All cabinets had to be level for the countertop. We had subfloor under the old bases and tile under the middle of the old vanity and in the rest of the room. The demo revealed surprises in the wall, the old plumbing, and especially the floor, making our early installation plans impractical and our project timeline impossible. Jose couldn't have expected these when quoting or starting the job. They immediately distinguished themselves in the demolition. They worked hard removing short, old, built-in cabinets that were truly built to last. The old tile back- and sidesplashes were critical to save for a fully tiled room with a partially demolished bathtub wall--and they saved 80% of that tile, including precious bullnose tiles! Their care in saving the 5-foot-wide mirror saved us at least $300 in replacement costs. This savings covered some of the totally appropriate, extra costs for Jose's extra work in the unexpectedly difficult demolition. Thursday (Day 1), during demo and rough-placement of the cabinets, Jose always welcomed my input and made sure I was content with the work. Jose and Santos listened to my own careful calculations in acquiring pieces from different vendors and envisioning the space after demolition. I sat right outside the workspace and received rescued tiles, handed straight to me for protection. Jose addressed flooring problems with shims and boards, overcoming nearly all problems. Working with me took extra time. Jose cheerfully provided many solutions, and yet we eventually decided that we needed an extra day *before* they returned to think about the problems with the non-square spacing between the walls and the countertops, the sidesplashes, the wall's base molding, the cabinets' uniform kickplate, and the floor. Proving his flexible attitude and gentlemanlike behavior, Jose rearranged his schedule to give us that needed extra day and evening before returning. Jose's willingness to come back for installation on a Saturday gave us several benefits: We had a Thursday evening for routines; a Friday night to re-measure after demolition and reconsider wall/molding/trim options; and a Friday when our plumber came to handle unexpected pipe problems from demolition, preventing a bigger plumbing job that would have risked the new cabinets later. On Saturday, my husband worked with Jose and Santos on our updated plans/details. The 3 men worked wonderfully together, repairing walls/flooring, installing trim, and solving problems. Jose did for us what few contractors will: collaborate and even share workspace with handy homeowners on a complex project. Jose and Santos did competent, complete carpentry & teamwork on our..."
