Cosentino’s All About Home Repairs

Albert was friendly, super responsive, knowledgeable bout the best way to accomplish the look i was envisioning and very professional. I would absolutely use Albert again!

I had ordered some cabinets from Amazon. I was just recently injured and had to have surgery so I was unable to put them together myself. I was referred to Consentino via Angies List. He did an excellent job, was friendly, professional and quick!

Spent a lot of time and effort fixing our flooring. Very pleasant demeanor, and confident. Knew his job and did it well. Definitely work with Alberto again. Well Done.

Very good. Alberto was responsive in scheduling, and fixed the drawer up nicely. He explained everything clearly. Highly recommend!

I have called Alberto to help with various projects over the years. Alberto is always prompt, courteous, professional, and detail-oriented. He is my preferred home repair service provider, and I highly recommend him.

Too busy to consider my project or give me a bid. I respect their honesty but disappointed that a handyman service did not have the capacity to look at my project. Angie's List should have some way that service providers can take themselves off the "available for new projects" list so users would not make an effort to schedule for a bid.

Handyman didn't seem to be interested and unsure about how to go about fixing it. Didn't have tools. Language barrier, difficult to understand each other.

The job is to temporary fix by supporting from below, caulking edges It’s old kitchen so he did his job quite well Only reminder to prospective clients You must be realistic and know how much you want to pay

It went very well. He did the work easily and he was on time. He also went the day before the work to check.

The work was completed well in a short amount of time, and I was happy he was available to complete this repair as it was rather urgent.

I had Cosentino do some work for me when I first bought my house a few years back, and was very happy with him then, so when I had several small repairs (broken door knob, broken gate latch, etc) and some art I needed hung, I called him again, and am glad I did. He took care of everything quickly and well, including fixing a gate latch that other people had tried unsuccessfully to fix before. He also suggested an alternative to one task that would save me money. I definitely plan on hiring him again for repairs and handywork.

The work required connecting the thermostat wires to the electrical box that was in the wall. The work was done properly but the price was on the high end for the amount and type of work needed. Be prepared to pay for an astronomical price!

He charged per hour. It ended up being a fairly long time at the full price rate. It was around $500. It was a lot. He was friendly and professional. He was available. He got it to fit. The end result is, that it was in. However, it didn’t fit the first time he tried widening the space. So I think a little measure twice, cut once. He ended up having to shave 1/4 to ½ inch off the sides of the frame. When we bought the microwave, we had measured ourselves and it was a little too large for the space. He had to widen the space a little bit. Which was tricky, but it did take him a couple of tries and he ended up just jamming it in there. So, he got it working, and it looks fine. He was cash only, and at the price that it was, it was a little tricky getting cash at that size. It did end up being a lot (price) to install a microwave. If we had known how much it would be in total, we might have not kept the microwave, we would have gotten something smaller. I don’t know if I would use him again. I might give someone else a chance.

Great. He even drove me to Home Depot to pick out the door handle and lock set.

Very well. Both times Alberto quickly set up appointments to visit for an estimate, provided a thoughtful estimate, came promptly and as scheduled to do the work, and fixed both problems successfully. In the second case with the joist repair, the project took considerably more time and effort than we thought at first, but we knew that there was a possibility of that happening. Even so, Alberto provided a better and cheaper solution to our problem than solutions that others were proposing to do. In short, I highly recommend Alberto for carpentry and repair work.

Great. Alberto's my guy. Worth every penny.

What stool out was his quality of work, knowledge of repairing things. It’s an old home and he was very good at coming up with ways to fix things on an old house. He was punctual, neat, tidy and knew his work.

Most of it went fine. Consentino ran into a problem with one bath tub faucet which required some engineering to enable him to complete the job. We rate him highly but his services were very expensive!

There was a certain way that he wanted me to pay him I believe which kind go to believing that there was a fee that he had to pay with Angie’s Agency. So it felt funny afterward. It wasn’t finish but it as workable.

He was very good. He did very good work. Everything was fine, he did a nice job. He's a very nice man, but high priced.

The project went well. His prices are fairly high, so I was not able to include having the drywall painted.

Alberto arrived exactly when he said he would, and suggested a much better solution than my idea - a flat piece of plexiglass to cover the whole, through which the meter could be viewed. No need for a complicated hinge, and no possibility the meter reader could break it while trying to read the meter. Alberto widened the hole (for easier meter reading), created a custom size piece of plexiglass, and did a very neat installation, leaving no mess. Very quick, no nonsense, no hassle, just the way a small job should be handled. Alberto will be my first call for any future handyman needs.

Alberto spent a lot of time adjusting the light fixture that I purchased. He finally was able to get it to work. He took me to Home Depot to shop for the shelving materials that he installed.

We did a kitchen remodel & the cabinets were (unfortunately) of inferior quality & the initial installation was done very poorly (cabinets installed crooked, doors crooked, the product itself although theoreticaly "finished" looked unfinished). Alberto spared no effort to very detailed work adding trim, straightening the doors, reinstalling a particularly problematic corner door. He really made the best out of a bad situation (it turns out that if the initial instalation is screwed up, there si only so much you can do to remedy it - but Alberto did it & we were pleased). It is worth mentioning that we had three other handymen performng various work on these cabinets & on other matters, and Alberto was by far the best. I should also mention that Alberto also noticed other unrelated minor issues (e.g., faulty installation of a gargbage disposal) & corrected them as well. His rate is $150/hour & while that is more than most, we think he is worth it.

Consentino was so busy telling me how great he was the entire time that I was expecting a stellar job. My biggest problem is that he did not want to take the time to do the job right... must have had other jobs to do that paid more. Kitchen faucet: Asked me where I bought it then gave me attitude when I told him on-line. He did not bother to use silicone to seal the faucet or bother to install both bolts to secure it to the countertop. He also did not remove a plastic ring on the faucet that allows you to move it. How do I know? The faucet came loose within 3 months and when I removed it to repair it there was not a rubber seal, so water was leaking from counter top splashes 2. Only one bolt was installed... not sure what he did with the second one, but I had to buy a new one to secure the faucet. 3. When I lifted part of the faucet (it is one of those with the wrapped wire around the spout... it still had a plastic anchor on it from shipping... no wonder I could barely get it to turn. Door Bell: Didn't bother to install it correctly so all it did was go "thunk" rather than chime. Had another handyman come out to replace it as I thought I had bought a dud and he told me that Consentino needed to actually adjust the door bell button...something that he should have known. Screen Door; He did not want to take the time to install the heavier pet screen that I bought and complained the entire time. I also paid him to fix the door latch and align the door. That was ok.
