Apollo has been wonderful to work with. After contacting five contractors, he submitted the most cost-effective bid to clean all of the gutters on our home and to make sure that the water flow on the property was in good shape. He worked for seven hours as one of the gutters was overgrown with tree roots, causing terrible water back up. He had to buy several parts, fix it in the rain and spend most of the day doing it. I have never met anyone who has more patience and willingness to do the very best job that can be done. And he is amazingly knowledgeable about fixing so many things! When he left, we had almost four straight days of rain. What would we have done had he not been willing to do what was necessary to get the gutter fixed? I shiver everytime I think about that. On top of that, when he wrote out and explained the bill to us, he gave us a 10% discount because we found him on Angie's List. Needless to say, we called him back as soon as the next household need presented itself on July 6, 2012 (two weeks later). We had a "choked up" kitchen sink pipe, causing a terrible back up. As soon as I called him, he came. Unbelievable these days!!!! He spent 2.5 hours unplugging a terrible blockage. When he wrote the bill out, we couldn't believe it. This was an emergency call. He came from Ocala to Gainesville. And, he gave us a 10% discount off of a total of $125. We refused the discount as he drove from such a distance to help a panicked family out. Apollo is the result of a lot of prayers as we have dealt with many contractors who have left us so disappointed. We see Apollo and at least he gives us many reasons to smile when we write out our hard-earned check!!
Description of Work: 6-22-2012 Cleaning and checking water flow for all gutters around our home. Then repairing the gutter pipes overgrown inside with tree roots. 7-6-2012 Repaired backed-up kitchen sink and garbage disposal in a moment's notice.

Very pleasant man and assistant. Professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Apollo checked out my irrigation system. Was using a great deal of water. Dug holes around approximately 33 heads and placed concrete rings around them. Replaced several heads. Uncovered several heads that had become buried under grass and were leaking and repaired them. Also replaced a diaphram and selenoid to correct weak water pressure in Zone 2.

We just purchased our home in May of this year. We previously had the irrigation system checked before Apollo and was not satisfied with the service. We joined Angie's List and found Apollo's name and business. All of his reviews were very positive , so we decided to give him a call. He answered right away and we set up a date and time for him to check our irrigation system. We are extremely pleased with Apollo's punctuality, professionalism, dependability and friendliness. We could tell immediately Apollo truly cares and will do whatever it takes to satisfy his customers. He does not rush through the job, he takes the time needed and definitely takes pride in his work. He also showed us how to adjust the sprinkler heads which will save us time and money. We have decided he is our go to guy for all of handyman needs. THANKS APOLLO!!
Description of Work: Apollo removed one sprinkler from fence line, removed another sprinkler and capped off line, checked all zones and adjusted when necessary.

Once again, we must say Apollo did a GREAT job and we are going to have him do some electrical work and interior painting in the near future. If you need ANY work done, then APOLLO, (A-1 AUTO & HANDYMAN SERVICES) is your man. THANKS AGAIN APOLLO. We will be calling you very soon. Dennis and Jan
Description of Work: We were so pleased with the work Apollo did for us on the irrigation system, we also called him to do some exterior painting. He arrived on time and was just as friendly and professional as he was on the 11th. He sanded and painted three front window shutters, sanded and painted the front door & the two side panels. We did not have the paint on hand, so he removed a shutter and took it with him to match the paint.

Mr. Rodriquez installed a front door for me.
Description of Work: It does not surprise me to see the other excellent reviews about Mr. Rodriguez. He's very professional, punctual and patient. He had a very difficult time catching up with me and was very patient. I must have canceled on him more than three times due to my busy schedule and he remained professional and cordial the whole time. I highly recommend his services and can't wait until I have more time to schedule him for other jobs in the future.

We called Apollo on Saturday and he came out to fix the car on Sunday. I cannot recommend this professional highly enough. Not only did he come out on Sunday, but it was also Fathers day! He was polite, punctual and extremely competent. Thank you so much Apollo. I’m so glad we found you, and thank you Angies List for the information .
Description of Work: Apollo fixed our car which would not start. He connected up his computer. He checked rthe ignition and the fuel pressure. The fuel pressure was low and he fixed it. He provided a complete hand written report on his findings and solutions.

Apollo started work 48 hours after selection, sent his right-hand man Chris Carmen over the day before, and finished as promised. Apollo and his team worked several long days as a seasoned crew that totaled four on the second day and two on the last day. The work was excellent including advice on color match and helping us work issues with the paint company when color match wasn’t as expected and we had to go back twice and get correct paint. We made several additional work requests, adding a closet, doors, another ceiling repair and handyman tasks that Apollo and Chris responded to in a “no problem” manner at a reasonable price.. Chris Carmen was in charge in Apollo’s absence and operated as a working leader while handling anything unusual like repair to a water-damaged front door entrance that had been repaired in a very shoddy fashion by another contractor; what an improvement after Chris finished his magic! We found an unsightly gap in the tile near a living room wall that existed since the home was built; Chris was able to mask it so that it blended in much better. Chris and Apollo did a lot of extra things to make the home good. Sherwin Williams Harmony environmentally friendly paint was used because we have problems with allergies; this crew had prior experience with it. Although Mr. Rodriquez was here for most of the work, there were times Apollo was taking care of other jobs he had going, Chris could always be counted on to keep things going and right, with a penchant for quality. Apollo and his team displayed a “can do” attitude throughout the process. They encouraged us to point out any concern which they responded to and corrected in a friendly manner. These folks worked hard and did an outstanding job! . Please contact Apollo for your painting, other handyman, landscaping or auto repair needs. Apollo and Chris are amazing and have great work ethic and values, we heartily recommend them.
Description of Work: Mr. Apollo Rodriguez, owner of A-1 Auto & Handyman Services bid on interior painting of a ten-year old home we just bought, paint everything but the doors, closets and repair one ceiling area in our roughly 1600 square feet home not counting garage and lanai. We found this Ocala based company by doing an Angie’s List sort for inside painters within a 20 mile radius of our Summerfield, Florida home who also had A ratings. We asked for a bid for labor only as we had a good Stonecrest Home Owner discount for paint with a local dealer in Summerfield. We got apples to apples comparison quotes from several other local companies who met the search parameters. Mr. Rodriguez was professional, sincere and offered to e-mail a quote right away as we were anxious to start work within 72 hours. He agreed to the timeframe, with completion, no later than four days from start. He made the best impression, offered a requested military discount and had a competitive price so we selected him. The A-1 team painted, removed doors, window coverings, mirrors, electrical outlet covers and patched previous wall holes and repaired entry doorway, in a professional manner. The work grew from the original request as we noticed other things we needed done and that this team could do them correctly. Mr. Rodriguez is an excellent handyman who knows a lot about many things and even looked at concerns we had for plumbing, watering system, golf cart and even changed out a bad garbage disposal for us. Apollo also did some minor carpentry work for us, corrected sagging supports for our Hunter Douglas vertical blinds.

After Mr.Apollo performed the tune up he informed me about my losing brake fluid & needing a brake job he showed me problem trying to save me money he suggested I wait to have them done. I said no "let's make this truck road worthy" is what I told Mr.Apollo so he replace brake pads,brake shoes,rotor,drums bearings everything that needed to be done he did it which took time I was in no rush for the vehicle which he was able to help his other customers.Mr. Apollo restored my faith in having a good affordable auto tech I haven't used him for his handyman services but that why change very so.
Description of Work: I contacted Mr.Apollo thanks to Angie's List purchased a very used high mileage truck didn't have much history on vehicle so I wanted a tune-up spark plugs& wires,PVC valve ,air breather, oil change etc. which Mr. Apollo did very quickly & a lot cheaper than the average mechiac saving you a great deal of money.

The air conditioning grills looked brand new after Apollo stripped the old paint and repainted them. Once the grills were reinstalled, they looked brand new. To add to the finished touch, he painted the screw heads and touched up the baseboard. I was completely impressed with the finished product.

Apollo arrived promptly with the part and tools needed to replace the locking mechanism on a sliding patio door. He was done in less than 30 minutes. He made sure I inspected it before he left. Once again, I was impressed with his work...so much so, I've already requested he make another repair in the house. You can't go wrong with Apollo!

Overall, the completed work went far beyond my expectations. The workers were prompt, brought all of the right materials needed, worked diligently all day, and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Apollo noticed an exterior water value needed to be replaced. He also noticed that the outside dryer vent needed to be reattached. He also noticed one of the electrical outlets in the garage needed to be replaced. He volunteered to fix the last three items even though those items were not part of the original estimate. Apollo even volunteered to wash the exterior windows just because he wanted everything to look nice once the job was completed! After the work was completed, my house looked brand new and sparkling clean. I would highly recommend A1 Auto & Handyman Services. and plan on calling them again for other handyman projects.
Description of Work: The exterior of the house was completely pressure washed in addition to the walkway and entrance. Two other concrete slabs and the air conditioner base were pressure washed. The four front exterior pine window mouldings were cleaned, sanded and stained followed by a coat of polyurethane. A rotted pine board in the bay window was replaced before it was stained. The old chalking around all four windows was removed and replaced after the polyurethane coat was applied. Wood filler was applied to an area in the bay window that needed it. Also, an outside water value was replaced. A GFI electrical outlet was replaced. The exterior dryer vent was reattached to the wall.
