Rafael replaced my gross old linoleum floor with subfloor and LVP, replaced the toilet and vanity, and finished the floor work with a quarter-round trim. The finishing work was well done; the floor was in bad shape and he fixed it and made it look amazing. If I had more $$ I would have had him redo the entire bathroom. Rafael arrived early, worked the whole day, and consulted me on every step of progress made. Rafael was always professional, polite, respectful, and well-tempered. I have had workers who have come in with foul language, loud music, and on their phones the whole time. Rafael is a rarity - he and his co-worker completely respect the client's home. I definitely would hire him again!

Description of Work: Rafael, failed to be responsive, reliable, and professional in my opinion and situation. I gave him the job since June. Scheduled it for mid September. Never showed up or called. I walkways had to call him to find out if he was coming or not. Promised again mid October never showed up. Then finally came first week of November. Project was approximately 1.5 days worth of work. He finished it in a month. Only came for a few minutes after another project. Tried to change the price after he started the job. I asked him 3 times to provide me a written quote never did. In the middle of the project he wanted the change the price and not admit what we had agreed verbally. Luckily I had saved text messages, after he saw our texted conversation he admitted to to the job at initial price. Project was completed but shows lock off experience, professionalism and quality. I will attach some photos.

Rafael did great, prompt work on my fix & flip. We had good communication throughout the whole project; he's extremely responsive via phone, text or email. The work was good AND fast - which is hard to find. He knowlegeably answered any questions I had about any items, and was great at coming up with solutions to any issues that arose. I'm looking forward to working with him again on my next project!

I hired Mr. Mendes because of the Super Service designation, and the large number of positive reviews. Mr. Mendes made several visits to my home for completion of the two projects. Each time, he arrived promptly, and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. He did a beautiful job with the medicine cabinet, but the bookcases were another matter. The core issue I had with Mr. Mendes was that some of his actions had the appearance of taking shortcuts so that he could leave as quickly as possible to get to the next customer. Examples: (1) He (knowingly) used two pieces of damaged wood in two of the shelves. Both pieces had four inch chunks missing on the backside. The damaged area on one of the pieces was large enough to be able to see straight thru floor to ceiling. (2) He (knowingly) left about 12 exposed nails. Specifically, either the nailhead was left projecting about 1/4 inch, or the nailhead was cut off but with a spike remaining of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This is a safety issue. Accidently bumping your hand on an exposed piece of nail can produce a nasty cut. (3) Painting the bookcases -- numerous drips, runs, and puddling. This is what happens when you use too much paint instead of using less paint with a first coat, letting it dry, then re-applying.. Again, I wish to state that Mr. Mendes is a very pleasant person, and did a wonderful job with the bathroom recessed med cabinet. Nonetheless, the problems with the bookcases overshadowed this.

So sorry that you feel this way [Member Name Removed] but some of the statements are not true, I didn’t left nails intentionally and the damage wood could be easily fixed with putty however I replaced the wood and fix everything you asked me to same way was the paint I even relief you $150 just because you wasn’t happy.

The contractor did not show up for the scheduled appointment. The next day, when I inquired about the missed appointment, he (or she--no name was included in our correspondence through Angie's List's messaging) informed me that he had injured his hand and his back and was no longer able to work. I am sorry for that, but I was not informed before the scheduled appointment, rose early for the morning appointment, and canceled weekend plans so that the work could be done on the day he had chosen. The contractor did not let me know in advance that he was not coming. In addition, I had suggested that we talk more directly, on the phone, to clarify the work needed before the scheduled appointment, but I never received a phone call. So I was left high-and-dry, with no work being done and a day wasted waiting for the contractor's arrival. Again, I am sorry for the contractor's mishaps, but I think it was very unprofessional not to take a few moments to let me know--before the scheduled appointment--about the problem and about his inability to complete the work or keep the appointment.

I’m sorry for the canceled appointment and waste of your whole day, you were informed as soon as I could move enough to txt you a message. Considering the accident I believe this review is not fair at all... and not thoughtful...
