Franco is great to work with. He is responsive, polite, and efficient. I was having a hard time finding someone who could install a new garbage disposal for me and he came through. I find that a lot of times handymen don't necessarily want to take the time to do small jobs but Franco does it all. I would definitely hire him again for any projects around the house

Franco was the only one of three handymen to come back with an estimate. He worked around our schedule and finished the job in a timely manner. One section didn't fit so well at first with gaps in between the siding panels, but Franco came back a few weeks later to make it right.

Franco gave us a quote over the phone to replace the damaged wood. When he took out the damaged wood, we found that the now exposed wood had quite a bit of moisture remaining from the leak. We wanted this to dry out before installing the replacement wood. Franco would need to make a return trip. He took all the measurements for the new replacement base and pre-cur all the wood at his shop, and painted for easy installation. He would have done this at our home if the return trip wasn't decided. When he returned, we decided the old wood was still not dry enough. That wood was under paint, which I stripped off to expose to air. [A tip - drying of the wood was taking TOO long, so we bought a small dehumidifier and placed under the sink. Bingo - that really sucked the moisture out of the wood.] So, Franco made a third trip and he installed the new base. The job was done very well and professionally. Franco was very patient through all of this and cheerfully did things beyond what he had originally planned. I felt he should be compensated for this additionally work (he didn't bring it up) - and he left it up to me to decide what that should be.

Everything went well despite a few setbacks with material availability/vendors. Most importantly, everything turned out the way I wanted it to. The remodeling cost more than I had originally planned for but that was because I added other projects on, and thankfully Franco had no problem with completing them. Franco and his assistant Angel arrived on time everyday and cleaned up before they left. I had to move in to my condo during the last week of remodeling and despite it being a bit stressful, the work got done. Franco does great quality work. I would definitely recommend Franco to anyone who wants any type of painting, tiling, or electrical work done.
Description of Work: Franco completed several remodeling projects for my new condo: 1) He re-tiled my kitchen, bathrooms, closet, fireplace, and front doorway. He also attached the backsplash tiles in my kitchen. 2) He repainted my kitchen cabinets, fireplace, master bathroom, master bedroom, and master bedroom walk-in closet. 3) He attached a new ceiling fan in the master bedroom; he took out the old panel lighting in the kitchen and added recessed lights; he added new pendant lights to the bar area; and he added vanity lights to the master bathroom. 4) He attached a new kitchen sink and the plumbing. 5) He attached new vanity cabinets, sinks, a new toilet, and plumbing in the master bathroom. 6) He took out the carpet on the staircase and attached laminate flooring to match rest of the flooring in the condo.

Franco was fantastic! I reached out via Angie's list on a Sunday and he replied the same day. He came by to walk through my list, and promptly provided estimates for each job. He was upfront about having a couple of other jobs in progress, so he would be 'delayed' starting mine, but his delay was a matter of a couple of weeks (not months, as I've experienced in the past). When he and Angel arrived, I was missing all of the fireplace materials; he was understanding and came back as soon as I had it. He is very professional, polite and does great work. I've already recommended him to a friend and I'm making my next list of projects - I will be calling him again very soon.
Description of Work: Installed Kitchen Tile (2 areas), chandelier, doorbell and stone tile wall with fireplace mantle & tile hearth (removing the old surround/mantle/hearth).

Franco does excellent work. He was timely,professional, efficient and patient (my wife changed a couple of things during the project). He is very busy and we had to wait a couple of weeks for him to get to us but well worth the wait. I have recommended him to a couple of people I work with.

Franco and his assistant Angel did a beautiful job installing 4 ceiling fans with remote. There was no existing light so they had to run power and create location for ceiling/light fans in 4 separate rooms. Difficult logistics in some rooms but they managed to do a beautiful job. They were on time, courteous and did a wonderful job cleaning up. I will definitely hire Franco (A to Z Handymen) again. Excellent work. Thank-you Franco and Angel!

The service went excellent. Franco called and came out in a timely manner to walk down the work and assess the job scope. He then sent me a quote and time frame in which the work would be completed. Once approved, he arrived on time, set up and got right to work. He informed me on everything he was doing and going to do. At the end of the day, he sent me detailed progress reports. He was very knowledgeable,efficient, effective and attention to detailed in his work. He was extremely patient, considerate, courtesy and professional. I was amazed and in awe of the finished products. Due to his years in the construction field, he made several recommendations. Franco went above the call of duty. I would definitely hire Franco again.
Description of Work: The provider did repair work in my condo. He patched holes in walls and painted, put in recessed lighting, laid down laminated flooring and tile and other various repair services.

Franco and his assistant were wonderful. We had so many different projects and he helped us with each one no matter how small and gave us advice for future projects and remodeling for the kitchen. It is so nice to have someone we can trust and nice that he was ok with us adding more projects that we thought of at the last minute. Our projects took several days (because screens had to be special ordered) and it was nice to have someone that we can trust, even when we are not home. Franco just came in and did what he needed to do. We will use him again!

Looks good. Fair price, solid work for a fairly large handyman job. I would use them again. Only gripe is they dont clean up after themselves very well. Had to spend an hour afterwards cleaning extra grout stuck to tile and backsplash because it was not wiped clean immediately after. A little messy in general but hard to beat. Franco is easy to work with as well and was helpful when discussing different options.
Description of Work: Replaced brick fireplace with stone and installed new mantel. Installed backsplash, new toilet, dishwasher and replaced fluorescent kitchen lighting with recessed lighting and did some crown moulding and painting around lights.

The job went great. The team is very professional, on-time, responsive, and competent. I had to call Franco to come back for an adjustment and he did so promptly and took care of the toilet re-sealing. They were careful in my house and cleaned up very nicely. I highly recommend this company and will call them back next time I need handyman services!
Description of Work: Franco and his associate replaced two toilets, installed about 45 feet of base molding, installed a vanity and faucets. There were some minor challenges during the installation and Franco came up with clever solutions to resolve all issues to our complete satisfaction.
