My new kitchen remodel is absolutely beautiful and turned out even better than I expected! I had Rui replace all the cabinets, install a new backsplash, new floor tiles and countertop. He was prompt, courteous, skillful and knowledgeable. The work was completed in a timely manner and I would gladly use him again as well as recommend him to friends!

I found Hubby for Hire on Angie's list. After a few estimates and looking at past work that was done, I was so excited to hire him to do my remodeling. He was punctual every day, hard worker, and finished the job in just 3 days. I am very happy with my new look. Thanks for such a great job! I would recommend you again and again.

I purchased a weeks worth of Handyman through Angie’s deals. He came by looked at work and gave me an estimate. I accepted the estimate but he could not do it had no time. It is a rental so I had to have someone else do it. Then I tried two more times to give him another job not to lose deal but he didn’t have time. The third time he said Angie’s List told him not to honor it as the deal had expired. Shame on Angie’s List and don’t trust this guy.

Response from Hubby For Hire Corp
Mrs [Member Name Removed] purchased a week worth of handyman from Angie list, [Member Information Removed] promptly came and gave her a estimate, she waited one month to get back to me, at that time [Member Information Removed] was super booked up and informed her [Member Information Removed] had a 3 month waiting list, She decided to hire someone else for the job. That should be the end of our deal, she didn't request a refund from Angie'[Member Information Removed] list or read the term conditions, instead after 3 months she decided to use me on another rental property, the scope of work included removal of the flooring, baseboards, move furniture around, paint two apartments, install new hardwood floor and baseboards on the duplex house on the beach. at that point [Member Information Removed] informed Mrs [Member Name Removed] that it was going to take me way longer than a week to do the work she was requesting, she proceeded to argue with me that It should only take a week. so [Member Information Removed] asked her if it took longer to finish the job if [Member Information Removed] was getting paid for the extra work and she said no. At that point [Member Information Removed] declined to work on her house for fear of non payment. Mrs [Member Name Removed] decided at that point to call Angie'[Member Information Removed] list and complain about my company and get a refund, she was advised that the deal had expired ( she had 30 days from date of purchase to cancel the deal and get a full refund) and she wasn't getting her $375.00 deposit she paid to Angie'[Member Information Removed] list not my company, she got furious and decided to give me a bad review (F) all the way to get even with me. [Member Information Removed] never did any work on her hose, waited 2 hours for her to show up to the free estimate appointment, [Member Information Removed] was professional and courteous. her review has no merit to it.

Rui and every member of his team was professional, very punctual, and knowledgeable. For both jobs, the team arrived when they said they would and the work was completed in the estimated timeframe. In the first job in May 2016, after the team pulled out the old soaking tub, they found some old water damage under the tub area. They quickly and correctly fixed the damage and kept the job on schedule. For both jobs, the work area was left very neatly each day of the job and the final clean up was very good. We were extremely happy with the final results after both jobs. The tile was placed very evenly and the grout was done with exceptional precision. Rui kept a great balance of offering ideas and advice and following what we ultimately decided with both jobs. I have hired many general contractors to do home improvements over the years and Rui rates as one of the very best.
Description of Work: Rui and his team at Hubby for Hire converted a soaking tub in our master bathroom into a tiled, walk-in shower in May 2016. The tile on the walls was placed diagonally and required a lot of cutting to fit the various pieces around the decorative trim. The job turned out beautifully. In fact, we loved Rui's work so much, we had him replace the tub and tile in our main bathroom to match in January 2017.

He arrived everyday after 8am and left a little after 4pm. Very easy to talk to, very informative. helped us out on the way. Was very professional. The shower guy was even impressed with his work. He had to re-frame the wall in the shower and install a vanity and the window. He was really the best price we could find and the best work.

Because true to form, Rui will try to blame me, my house, my walls, whatever...Just be warned......This was a nightmare!!! He seemed nice until he got his part of the money. After that it was like my house was his part-time job. He was splitting his day between my job, the store & some other job. He is very sloppy & seems to enjoy cutting corners. When I brought something to his attention, he got an attitude, maybe because I'm a small. old man & he found it easy to do. I TRULY DO NOT RECOMMEND Hubby For Hire & Rui to do anything except to stay away from. AND like I said......He will find all kinds of excuses & play the blame game......DON'T BUY IT, THIS GUY IS NO GOOD. The only reason I didn't give him an F is because even after three weeks of working part-time at my house, he finally finished the job. I'm happy to be rid of him.

Rui arrived on time, setup his mitter saw, cut and installed the baseboard molding. After the baseboard was installed he caulked on the top and bottom to fill in any gaps caused by imperfections in the wall and floor. He did a very good job and was very professional. I will hire him for future work.

Roi is wonderful. I have used him before and he does what he say and more. Explains what he has to do and why. The estimate he gives is what he stands by. I trust him enough that I would give him a key to my house if I couldn't be home for the repairs. In the past he repaired the leak in the master bath shower. He can do just about anything. He also repaired my leaking faucet, installed the new filters in my reverse osmosis system (it is in a cramped area under the kitchen sink) and fixed the hole in the drywall. He is neat, clean, never leaves a mess. So very trust worthy.

It was great. He promptly got us a quote in the price range we were looking for and was able to schedule the work quickly. He was on time and kept things clean as the work went on and the finished product looked great. I only give a B because the floor wasnt sloped properly. He did offer to fix it but I decided not too, I just use a squeegee to scrape the water from the corners.

We hired Hubby for Hire to paint the outside of our home in Cape Coral. We've worked with Rui in the past and knew what to expect: excellent service and top quality work. We were not disappointed! Rui and his crew were on-time every day, and got to work. We already had the paint from Lowe's. The job included pressure washing and painting the entire exterior. The crew is neat and clean up daily, and they work diligently throughout the day. So far, the job is coming out fantastic! My husband and I could not be happier!

Rui quickly responded to my call with a visit and promised estimate within 2 days. I received the estimate within the promised time frame and was pleased with the price. Two other contractor estimate calls were unsatisfactory with one being too busy and the other outlandish in price(both Angie's listers). I quickly called Rui and agreed to have him perform the work. Demolition of the bathroom began 3 days later. The entire renovation took 10 days. Results were great!!! My wife is extremely happy with the work. All the work was done in a professional manner. Rui and crew were pleasant, timely,and easy to deal with.

Upon contacting Hubby for Hire, specifically Rui Ribeiro - he was extremely prompt in getting back to us. He came out I believe the next day, took down all the notes based on what we were looking for, then said he would get us a quote back quickly. He did deliver on that - got the quote back within 2-3 days. He was the lowest priced out of all the quotes we received, and coming from a small company myself, agreed to give him the opportunity. I liked that he was personable and very easy to talk with and communicate to. Once the job was contracted it took a little to get started, from both of us. We were doing quite a bit of work to our house and weren't in any hurry to get started. The job was started and finished in approximately 2 Months, there were a few setbacks - none were at the fault of Mr. Ribeiro. The electrician he hired had a medical issue and had to be re-hired (thanks by the way to Bob with Sun Electric for jumping in for us). All in all the job was done to complete satisfaction, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Hubby for Hire and would use them again for projects I may come across in the future.

Rui's work was fantastic!! He was very punctual, did professional work and we love our new shower! We plan to hire him again in the future for other projects. The work was completed in 4 days (as promised) and went very smoothly. Highly recommend him. He offered suggestions to make the shower stall look better than what we had thought of doing. Which we went with and are very happy with the whole job.
Description of Work: Remodeled shower stall in a master bathroom. Removed old tile, drywall and shower doors. Installed all new drywall, tile and installed new shower door. Also installed a nook in the shower wall.
Of the services provided, the cabinets were moved and filler installed. It was fine other than the filler is in an awkward spot. The door handles were installed ok, though there are a few spots where you could clearly tell the finish had been cracked off at the site of the hole). The exterior door was hung, but there were no screws place in the threshold, so everything you walked on it made a cracking sound. Also, there was a slight difference in the size of the threshold on the new door, so about a half inch gap was left without being caulked, grouted, or brought to my attention. The crown molding was not cut correctly nor installed correctly. The details in the molding did not match up in the corners (one side higher than other) and the corners in other areas were uneven (one went to the exact end of the cabinet while other corners stopped short of the end of the cabinet). Nail holes were not filled, a defective colored piece was used in the longest run (I had purchased many extras that could have been used), he placed the seam in the most obvious position and under a light, and he used an excessive amount of trim due to bad cuts (at 35.00 a strip, you need to be accurate). Contractor was to "touch up"paint along the cabinets. He clearly did not use any kind of tape or guide and not only was the line jagged and uneven, he got a significant amount of paint on the cabinets. The slab doors were hung prior to painting. They were not sanded or touched up at all (slab doors have a few rough edges that just need a touch up). He attempted to paint with roller, which left lots of uneven spots and plenty of drip marks. He also got paint on the new hinges I purchased (specifically noted I was buying new hinges because there was so much paint on the previous and I wanted nice new clean ones with the new doors), got globs of paint and run marks all over the trim that was already done previously, cracked and left giant gouges in the frames where he installed the hinges, and took chunks out on the door around the holes which he drilled for the hardware. After the condition of the trim and first coat of paint on the doors was completed day 2, I asked for him not to return. He was paid more than he should have been. I had to pay new contractors to take down and redo all of the crown molding, add additional trim to the cabinets to cover where he painted on the cabinets, screw in properly and grout/caulk the gap in the exterior door threshold, remove the interior doors and replace the hinges, fix the damage, sand and repaint. Not only did he do a horrible job, his response when I question him on all the paint on the cabinets was "I guess my hand is not as steady as it used to be". His prices are good and comes off as though he knows how to do the work, but the work is not quality at all. The majority of work had to be redone properly by another company - costing me both labor and materials. DO NOT HIRE.
Description of Work: Install 9 interior slab doors, paint doors, install stock crown molding in kitchen, replace exterior door, move 2 cabinets down and install filler, add door knobs to kitchen cabinets (The price in the "approximate cost of services" is what was paid, not the total contract amount. Services were terminated by owner due to quality of work).

He was great. On time, easy to work with, neat, efficient. They were everything we could have asked for! Greatly recommended.
Rui was EXCELLENT! From the initial contact, Rui was responsive, attentive and efficient. He is pleasant to work with; arrives on time; and works consistently throughout the day. His work demonstrates a great attention to detail, and it shows. He fixed minor errors immediately; cleaned up the work space daily; and finished the job in a timely manner. The estimate for the work was extremely reasonable, and Rui stayed within budget. My husband was impressed with how quickly and efficiently Rui worked throughout the day. He had the old bathroom tile removed and new tile installed within 1-2 days. He completed the masonry and construction on the new doorway within 1-3 days, too. Other than installing grout; drying the cement; and finishing up, the entire job took approximately 9-10 days. The bathroom came out great, and the new doorway looks fabulous! My husband and I could not be happier!! We recently moved to the area, and I found him on Angie's List. I didn't know anything about him, except the reviews which showed that other people had worked with him, and liked his work. So, I took a chance, and it really REALLY paid off! My relatives from Miami were SO impressed, and could not believe how nicely everything turned out. We have other small projects we'd like to do in our new home, and will definitely be hiring Rui Ribeiro again. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.
Description of Work: Rui renovated one of the bathrooms in our new home. He re-did the shower (tile and install new plumbing); tiled the floor; removed an old bathroom vanity; repaired the existing wall and installed the new vanity; installed new lighting fixtures; and built a door frame for a new entry way into the bathroom. He also installed nine new doors throughout the house.

We got the estimate from Rui for our bathroom renovation on Mon., and he was able to start Wednesday. He sent us the list of materials, and we met up at HD. He was thorough, efficient, and gave us great recommendations. He started the job immediately and we were impressed at how quickly and neatly he did the work. Had the old tile removed the first day and was already tiling the bathroom the following day! He's organized and keeps the work area clean (as best he can), which I appreciate. Works tirelessly throughout the day, and timely arrives the next day. My husband and I are very pleased. And the bathroom is coming out great!

Rui is on time, cleans up and provides a quality result. My new shower is beautiful. I'm very happy with the results and look forward to hiring Rui for future projects in my condo.
Description of Work: My shower walls were buckling & it needed to be gutted & replaced. I called Rui & he came over to look at the work. Within 48 hours I had a written estimate. I accepted & the work started the following week. During that time he called to see if I had any questions about the work or materials. Work started as planned & I expressed interest in the process so Rui explained to me what he was doing & why. Rui is focused on doing the job right & that it will last - Quality work! He doesn't cut corners, he sets a goal for the day & then meets it.

he had no intentions of doing the work or failure to give me an estimate. He was very rude. I asked him why he refused to give me an estimate or do the job and his reply was that a few years ago I called him for some other work, which I don't recall doing, and that I did not use him. I told him that I usually get a few estimates before I decided on a vendor which is smart business. I don't know of anyone doing work on their home who just receives one estimate. In any case, this man was arrogant and I would not recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: No service provided. I scheduled an estimate for this provider for March 27, 2014 AT 2:30 P.M. for bathroom remodeling including removal of a bathroom tub, tile installation for the guest and master bathrooms shower and countertops. The owner, Mr. Ribeiro, did not appear as scheduled. No telephone call was made by him to either cancel the appointment or to reschedule. I had to call him and I was very understanding for lack of appearance. He stated that he just forgot the appointment. He apologized. Normally, if I have a no show I would not deal with this person. We reschedule the appointment for 1:00 P.M. on March 29, 2014 at 1:00 P.M. He called earlier on this date to see if he come earlier than the scheduled appointment. I said fine since I was home and was not planning anything at the time. Mr. Ribeiro came and I explained to him the work that I wanted done. He took measurements and then left with the statement that he would email me an estimate during the weekend. The weekend went by and I kept checking my emails. On Monday, I called Mr. Ribeiro and left him a message to please let me if he had completed an estimate since I wanted to check on the tiles on Tuesday, No return call. I called again on Tuesday and he still failed to return my calls. I threatened to report his lack to professionalism to Angie's List in my message. He finally decided to call me back to tell me that he had been ill and had no intention of doing the work. No explanation as to why

Response from Hubby For Hire Corp
To make things clear, I did forget the first appointment, and I apologized. We set a new appointment which I went to early because I finished my previous job early that Friday, and I was feeling sick and wanted to go home and rest. I told [Member Name] that the estimate would take a few days because I was not feeling well. She said she understood. I went home and felt worse. I was in bed for the next 3 days with the flu, or so I thought. [Member Name] called on Monday and left a voicemail. I never heard it because I was sleeping most of the time. On Tuesday [Member Name] called and left another voicemail threatening to give me a bad review on Angie's List if I didn't respond immediately. I finally saw there were messages, and called her to apologize and explain that I was very ill. She said she did not care, that I promised her the estimate and she wanted it now. I explained that I'm still sick and I would do it as soon as I was able to.No matter how I tried to explain that I was not well enough, she got madder and madder. She said I was wasting her time, and I replied that I give free estimates, and this is the second free one although she didn't use me the first time, which was fine. I told her I wouldn't call that wasting her time. She got nasty and said she still planned on reporting me, at which point I told her that I choose not to do business with her, and that she should find someone else because she is not the kind of person I want to work for, because her only concern was about getting the estimate even though I explained why she didn't get it in the 2 days. The ending part of this issue is that I ended up in the emergency room and was admitted into the hospital within 24 hours after my conversation with her, for 3 days with double pneumonia. I believe that having been that sick, would be a good reason for not getting the free estimate done on time. I have always been reliable and my clients love me including her neighbors who I've done quality work for. That shows why I have an A rating on Angie's List. Unfortunately sometimes things happen that we can't control although I did try to accommodate [Member Name].

Rui. Did a great job replacing and repairing the tile around my Bathroom window. He was on time, did extra work to fit the Marble sill in place. Then drove to three tile stores to find the correct tile because I bought the wrong kind. I will certainly use him again.
