I needed a handyman for my rental property - thought I had found the perfect person, but was once again disappointed in Tampa professionals. He took the time to look at the job, quoted it, then never did it, - never returned my calls nor the tenants calls. If you can't do the work, don't say you can.
Description of Work: He wanted to give me an estimate we agreed on price, never to be heard from again

The work went well. Due to his full schedule, it took a few weeks before we could get the work done, but once we had the schedule set, it went rather well.
Description of Work: David performed various tasks around the house and adjoining workshop including replacing a rotted out section of roof, hanging a new door on the screened porch and repairing some roof vents that squirrels had chewed up.

Dave was a professional right from the beginning. He answered the phone immediately and was very friendly. He shown up on time (to the minute) to give an estimate on the nasiest of days. On the day he arrived to perform the work he came in and immediately begin to work. He works efficiently and neatly. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He's professional, efficent, prices are reasonable, and plus he's a nice guy.
Description of Work: Dave replaced a door casment that my dog had destroyed, replaced a turn-off valve for the toilet and also replaced broken slats on the gate.

David Rodriguez Home Repairs said he would tell me when he could come to do the work but he never called me back to tell me if and when he would do the work. I was very disappointed. I didn't call him back and I don't know if he fell ill or what happened. He called me on the day I talked to him on phone and he came the same day, so he was very responsive.
Description of Work: David Rodriguez Home Repairs came to check the job which was to tighten the toilet to the floor and to put a new shower head.He also gave me a quote for that.

David showed up on time and looked at the main drywall repair and 2 other small jobs around the house I needed done. He was very professional and gave me a quote for the work. He seams very competent and knowledgeable of the work to be done. He is scheduled to complete the work next week. I will write another review after he has completed the work.

When I first contacted David he was booked solid for a month but I went ahead and scheduled an appointment anyway. He showed up at the agreed upon time and quickly gave me an estimate. The price was more than fair. (Especially when compared to some of the other quotes I was getting.) David always returned calls promptly and showed up on time. There were a few minor issues that I noticed after he left, but he came back two days later and corrected them. The only negative I have is a minor one. I wish he had cleaned up a little better after he finished working. I will definitely be using David again in the future and will recommend him to my friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: We had a closet that our old air handler was in that we wanted finished out with drywall and prepped for painting. David made the opening full length, installed a new door, patched old vent holes, installed floor tile and installed new trim. When he left it was ready to paint and hang shelves. Exactly the way we wanted it. The finished product will give us a lot of badly needed storage space.

He was very good. He was very reliable. He was a reasonable guy. He did the job. The quote that he gives me is the quote that I get. He is a one-man band. I can’t just call and have him come right away. If he is on a project he can’t get to me right away. He does return calls. The quality was good. I have called couple of times and he has been so busy. I don’t think he returned the call right away. I wasn’t looking out of the window waiting for him. I wasn’t so cognizant of that. If I am going to be here and whether he comes at 10 or 11 it doesn’t matter. He was very professional. I would call him if I needed service.

When David came out to look at the situation with our chimney, how bad the sill cap was rusting and how the top guard was rusting also. Upon further inspection by David, he noticed that all of the wood at the bottom of the chimney was curling up and was rotting out from the years of water draining around the chimney. David advised us that he could do what we immediately needed and provided us with a very competitive quote compared to the other quote I received, but at the same time let me know that I would be looking at replacing the siding on the chimney probably later this year because of its age and just the beating it has taken from the elements over the last 26 years. David made me aware of a product I never heard of called Hardy board. It has a wood look on one side but is actually made of cement. It can weather the elements for years and years with no worries. The cost of the whole job was going to be more than we originally planned, but sometimes fixing a problem right the first time and all at once, is smarter than piece fixing it. David and I agreed on a price and a time when he could fit us into his schedule and we were set. On the 14th on January, David showed up right on time, gave me an outline so to speak of what he was all going to do and it sounded good to me. I did have to leave a couple of times while David was there, the garage was open because he needed power, but I felt 100% comfortable leaving knowing that my house was in David's hands, so to speak. David actually finished up the job just a bit early, not much, but earlier than he expected considering all that needed to be done. My wife and I actually had to leave before David was done, so we paid for the job before it was totally finished, left for our appointment, and David finished the job, cleaned up like he wasn't even there, and most of all the chimney look just Awesome. Even though we had to wait just a bit for David to get out and inspect the job and get an estimate, as they say, good things come to those who wait. We got a great job done on our chimney, No More Eyesore!!! Even the homeowners association property manager called me and complemented me on a job well done and how great the chimney look. I let him know that I could not take credit for it, the credit all went to David Rodriguez. This was the first time we ever used David's services and I don't think it will be the last. He lives in our immediate area and I like to keep money that I spend on contractors etc local within the community. Do not hesitate to give David Rodriguez a call to get an estimate for your job, you will not be sorry.
Description of Work: We received a notice from our homeowners association that we needed to paint the metal sill cap on top of our chimney because it was rusting really bad and was becoming quite the eyesore. It was actually the metal guard on top that blocked items from falling down the chimney that was rusting and the rain drained off of it and so the rust went onto the sides of the sill cap. Our chimney unfortunately is in the front of our house also. I contacted 3 Handymen to come out and give me an estimate on fixing this issue we were having. The first Handyman was able to come out right away, quoted a competitive price for taking care of sanding the sill and then repainting everything with a good rustoleum paint that would withstand the elements also. The second Handyman did not return my call or stop out at all. The third Handyman I call was David Rodriguez. David returned my call promptly and informed me that his schedule was very packed and that it would be just a bit to get out and provide me with an estimate. So I scheduled it. I am glad I did.

I called David because of the great reviews on Angies list and I was not disappointed at all. David came in, look at the job and gave us an estimate. He called us the day of the appointment to make sure we still wanted to go ahead with the job. He came in on time and proceeded to do the work. He was polite and he explained exactly what he was doing from start to finish. He also cleaned up before leaving. His price is very reasonable. He even lowered the price from the estimate that he had given us when he realized that the job was not as big or detailed as he had thought. That was very honest. I will definitely be calling him again in the future.

Made an appointment with David, he answered my call right away, we talked about the faucets I need installed, and he agreed to install all bathroom faucets for 40 dollars each, kitchen for 45 ...I agreed to this price, and he will be here Saturday to complete the job. I also asked him if he could give me an estimate when he is here for a window handle replacement, and a small paint job on my back porch ceiling he agreed. I will update this review after his work is complete on Saturday December 22,2012 Update: David called this morning and said he would be here shortly and he was, such a wonderful professional man, did all the sinks in our house, two in the master , two others in the other two bathrooms and one in the kitchen including a garbage disposal(which wasn't part of the original quote) My whole family felt confident with David, he is a wealth of experience, we are completely satisfied with his work, we needed a few pieces which we were lucky, he had them in his truck, I will use David for all of my future handyman needs...oh we have already hired him again to do some painting for us on the lanai, and to fix that handle in the window. Awesome job, great man!!

Fantastic! Punctual, excellent work and fair prices.
Description of Work: We called David to assist my elderly parents who live in Clearwater. They were so pleased with the work he did on a leak they had on the side of the house. He helped with some minor jobs inside as well. He was so pleasant, did great work and charged fair prices. They will definitely use him again and we thank him for being so good to them.
David did a fine job for us. We found him on Angie's list. He came out to the house (built in 1925) and gave us an estimate on several projects. The process took four or five visits over six weeks. He was responsive, punctual and fairly priced. We have more projects and we will definitely call on David in the future.
Description of Work: family room painting, bathroom painting, exterior siding painting, ceiling fans (x 4); weather stripping rear door, reinforce rear steps, paint front steps, affix historic plaque, hang historic district flag, repair damage to hardwood floor, install bathroom vanity light fixture, repair hole in family room ceiling (secondary to roof leak)

see above--went very well--having more work done--i spend $85 first time and $90 second time to clarify
Description of Work: I had David out for numerous handyman repairs on a saturday in october and one in november and he is coming back in december so i am pleased with his workmanship. He is superpunctual(arrives slightly early) and polite and friendly to me and my 6 year old daughter who decided she liked talking to him(he is a grandfather and used to a little pestering). He is very busy and it may take a few weeks for him to fit you in. Both times I had a variety of repairs--smoke alarm malfunction, fan install, lock install, hang mirrors and hooks,etc. He charges by the job and will tell you how much each is---most of his repairs are very reasonable and i like knowing pretty much in advance. But check first as one job i found the selling store would do for slightly less and sooner. He is knowledgable and counseled me on the phone on what to purchase at home depot. I like that he is a one man company, i am a woman so it is important that i feel anyone in my home is trustworthy and a good person which i feel he is (like other highly rated angieworks professionals i have selected for other issues) --he works quickly so have everything ready for him to get the most for your money.

David did a great job! He was very professional and punctual and was able to keep a level head and work despite my daughter having a tantrum in the background :). In addition, he kept me apprised of a minor change to his schedule several days before our appointment and called me the day of the service to reconfirm our service appointment. With one of the ceiling fans, David offered up that he could fix the fan, which would be cheaper from a materials and labor standpoint if we didn't want to replace the fan. David is returning to performing additional work for us in the future and I plan on using him thereafter as well.
Description of Work: David replaced two existing ceiling fans as well as a kitchen chandelier.
David is very professional and respectful, he works quickly, does an excellent job and leaves your home as clean as when he arrived. Along with lots of small jobs we have not been able to find time to complete, David did some interior painting. I did warn him beforehand that I was extremely picky about the finish but he even managed to please me! David charges a very modest amount, not enough in my opinion for the standard of his work. The icing on the cake is that he is an extremely nice man who I was very comfortable having in my home, he even made a big fuss of my pets! I would highly recommend David and will be calling him for all of my future repairs.

Do not expect Mr. Rodriguez to show up when he says he will.
Description of Work: I used David in the past and even posted a positive experience on Angie's list for him. He did minor repairs around my house including windows, carpentry, etc. However, since David moved to another location closer to Tampa, he has stood me up and stood up two other people whom he was referred to (eg, told us and them multiple times he'd be somewhere to meet them and give an estimate and never showed up). I don't know the reason for his sudden lack of responsiveness, but I will no longer call him because he won't even come by to estimate the work any more. If it is too far from his new home, then he should tell us that he doesn't want to do work in our area any longer because of the distance instead of standing us up multiple times. :(

David called on his way to remind me that he was coming and that he may actually be 10 minutes early, which he was. I LOVE promptness! David charges a price per job versus a price per hour and it was very reasonable. He showed showed knowledge in many areas; electrical, plumbing, drywall and construction. I will be calling him back when I have a paint job and for my wood flooring repair in the future. VERY professional. Kelly

David showed up exactly when he promised for both the estimate and the actual work. He repaired the leak damage to perfection. One would not know the damage had ever occurred. He is very professional and has a strong knowledge of just about any home repair need. We will definitely call him the next time we need home repair. We're very glad to have found David on Angie's list!!
Description of Work: We had damage to a ceiling and wall from a roof leak.....the leak was so bad their was literally a big hole where the ceiling met the wall. The ceiling was a "popcorn" ceiling. Repairing this damage was our primary concern. David also replaced weather stripping on the front door and installed 3 new smoke detectors.

Everything went smoothly. He made tasks that seemed like they'd kill any boyfriend or husband, a breeze.
Description of Work: I needed some minor repairs to my house. David actually searched and found for me an 18x18 porcelain slate tile to replace one that had to be replaced in my master bathroom. There were 2 tiles out but luckily I had 1 leftover & just needed to find the 1. He also fixed a huge hole in the ceiling of my garage by replacing the drywall. Also patched up a small area of the popcorn ceiling from a time when I had high hopes of completely removing all of the popcorn texture to the ceiling. David is great. He always returns my calls promptly and is extremely punctual. And when I failed to keep an appointment due to my own fault because I forgot, David was so nice and although I cost him a day's labor, he didn't make me feel like crawling under a rock.
