My experience has been great. We had squirrels getting into the vents. I had a contractor put on some covers. I asked her to come out and check on the covers. She went there and repaired one of them. I called her to tell her not to bother to go out, she said she was already out there and had just fixed one. She has been very nice and helpful. I would recommend her and use her again.
Description of Work: I have had her do a number of things. Recently she checked on the aluminum vent covers.

It went great- Cecilia responded quickly to our phone call, came out and looked at the work, and gave an estimate by email which seemed very fair- we set up a mutually agreeable date by phone for several days later. Cecilia arrived early since doing everything involved a full day's work. Everything was done great- the one thing that was a problem was some caulk that didn't seem to be setting up properly- but when we told that to Cecilia she came back out very quickly and replaced the caulk in question. We were overall very happy and have already talked to her about doing a couple of other projects.
Description of Work: We had a long list of miscellaneous things that needed doing- these included removing old caulk from a tub and re-caulking, patching a large area of concrete in the basement, fixing a basement door that was off kilter and wouldn't close right- fixing a few other doors that had problems, making and installing shelves in a closet, cleaning up installation of a bunch of unorganized electrical wiring, filling, patching & painting various areas (including some outside where old gutters were removed), plus several other miscellaneous things!

Overall she gets two thumbs way down. What's the point of showing up to do an estimate if you have no intention of ever doing the work?
Description of Work: I read another review on the site and it described my experience to a T. I was referred to Cecelia for a few small projects around my house. She promptly returned my call and came over for an estimate. She detailed the job with great knowledge and gave me an estimate on the spot. She didn't commit to a date to do the work though and all of my subsequent emails and calls went unreturned. It's really too bad, because she seemed so nice and knowledgeable.

Cecilia was very responsible initially. Within a week or so of my original email contact she came to my house and inspected the proposed work I needed done. She is very personable, friendly and seems to know her business. I received a detailed cost estimate and breakdown of the work to be done by email in February. She also let me know approximately how much time it would take for the jobs to be completed. My last email from her was 2/14 and I have not heard from her since. Two months later no response to emails. Phone calls go to voice mail with no response. My initial good thoughts of her and her business are replaced by disappointment. My grades are taking into account the initial good responsiveness.

Ms. Moore returned my email within 24 hours. She also provided me images from other similar projects that she had done. We scheduled a day and time. She was early. I found her to be professional and very informative. She did great work. I have told others about her and I WILL use her for any future projects that may require her skills.

Celicia is very responsive, knowledgeable and thorough. After she finished my plumbing I discovered new room under my sink! It was much cleaner and simpler. It shows that she cares about her work. She did a fantastic job cleaning up after herself and she worked with my late schedule. I couldn't be more pleased. Hire her!
Description of Work: Celicia detached my plumbing for the contractors to install new kitchen countertops. After the installation, she paid a second visit to reconnect my plumbing to my new sink and to install a new faucet. She made trips to the hardware store to get what I needed before and during the installation.

It went great. Cecilia and I played phone tag for a few days, but she was very responsive both by email and phone, and we scheduled a time for her to do the work within just a few days. She was extremely courteous and professional, and the price was right. She also alerted me to a leak underneath my sink, and was able to give me advice on keeping my drain flowing smoothly and keeping it clean. I was very pleased with her services.

Fantastic. Ms. Moore came out one day to give me an estimate, she was prompt and very friendly. We talked about some tips and tricks for some other home renovation projects I'm going to be doing. She emailed us a quote promptly as well. Again, she was on time for the day of repair (very easy to schedule a convenient time) and worked through the morning. I was around doing other little projects which she stopped to help me with (i.e. removing track lighting, fixing nail holes, fixing nail pops, she even looked at our furnace which had stopped working earlier that morning!). She continued to offer very helpful tips and tricks which was much appreciated. The ceiling turned out looking very nice and professionally done. She was very courteous and tidy. She even offered a 90 day warranty on workmanship.
Description of Work: Cut out damaged drywall ceiling section, replace with new drywall, mud, sand and prime. The area to be repaired adjoined a brick fireplace and was damaged during putting on of a new roof.

Cecilia and her assistant Gale, were very responsive to (all) of my calls. Great team work!
Description of Work: My bathroom floor needed replacing, due to some serious water damage and there was a lot of dry rotted wood. My tub had begun to sink into the floor, but this was discovered during the work. And since the floor was damaged, the toilet was leaning toward the tub which would have been a disaster had either of these fallen through the floor on the next level.

The contractor was very prompt and professional. I appreciate that she was willing to work around my schedule and the delivery of a new appliance that occurred while she was working in my kitchen. The work was well done and the 30-day warranty gives me additional assurance that problems will be fixed at no additional cost to me. The rooms were very tidy when she left.
Description of Work: Cecilia installed two pin-up wall lamps in my bedroom and replaced a kitchen faucet. Originally I thought the leaky faucet could be fixed with a new washer but as it turned out, a new faucet was needed. Cecilia went out to buy a replacement faucet very similar to the old one and returned to my home within the hour. The faucet cost was added to my bill but the labor charge remained unchanged despite the additional time needed to purchase the faucet.

Based on the excellent reviews on Angie's List, I contacted Cecelia Moore. She called me back the next day. I told her that my condo was on the market and I had an open house scheduled in about two weeks and needed it painted. She put me in touch with her painter, Victor and we set up an appointment for him to come over to give me an estimate. He arrived for the appointment 20 minutes early! I hired him and he and his brother returned the following Monday. Again, they were early. They were professional and ready to go. I supplied the paint and they provided everything else. They were also honest and trustworthy, as I had to leave them alone in my home to go to work. They called me at work when they were finished, and when I got home from work they put the furniture back in place and cleaned up after themselves. They did a great job painting the place. I will use them again for projects in my new home.
Description of Work: They painted my condo.

It went great! Cecilia is a highly professional, friendly no B.S. kind of person -- one of those people you just have a good feeling about and know you can trust what they're doing. She came out a couple of days before the plumbing work had been completed to give me an estimate and was highly amused at the price the condo's plumbing company wanted to charge to patch the wall (more than double what she charged!). She also advised me on a couple of things around my unit that I could take care of myself (I installed a new faucet in my kitchen based on her advice). Her assistant Fernando did a really nice job. I've given her business card to several of my co-workers and friends. If I need anything else taken care of around my place, I'm definitely going to give her a call!
Description of Work: I live in a condo, so upstairs plumbing issues landed in my unit. The plumbing repairs (done by the condo association's plumber) resulted in half a dozen holes cut in my wall and ceiling that I was responsible having repaired. Cecilia and her assistant Fernado replaced the drywall in the wall and ceiling. They primed the patches and would have painted as well, but I decided to do the painting myself to save a little money.

Initially called for estimate to change lock for interior door and cleaning of gutters outside. Owner, Cecilia met me on time at the house to get estimates. She offered valuable information as to what needed to be done in addition to the gutter work. She provided estimates for changing the lock and the outside work. I opted to fore go the changing of the lock for another time and just concentrate on the outside work. Work scheduled for 8:30 AM on Monday, Sept 3 and I appreciated that Cecilia called beforehand to let me know that she was going to be 30 minutes late. Work completed by Cecilia and one of her helpers a 1:00 pm. Very courteous, neat and professional.
Description of Work: 1. Clean gutters at front and back of house 2. Re-attach corner downspout at rear of house 3. Cut away bushes and vines from front windows of house 4. Bundle plant debris and place at curb for city pick up 5. Caulk two first floor windows and one rear second floor window

The desk was a nightmare with all of the screws and different parts. Cecilia was here for 4 hours, there was a little issue where she had to get a replacement part, but she stayed with it and got the job done right. She charged a great price especially considering how much time it took. The amount of patience she showed in putting together the desk was amazing.

I emailed Cecelia late one Sunday evening and received a phone call from her before noon the next day. She was at my home on Monday evening. After determining that I needed a new switch, she called around to find where it could be ordered. It took nearly a week before she was able to install it. She kept me informed via phone and email letting me know what was happening with the order. As soon as she could she came to the house to install the new part.
Description of Work: Cecilia responded to my call after my basement flooded while washing clothes. The flood extended from the laundry room to the bathroom, under stairs closet, and living area. I wasn't sure what caused the flooding so she had to spend her first visit identifying the source of the problem. She finally found that the switch for a sump pump that pumped out my sewage from the lower level wasn't working. To fix the problem, she had to locate the part for the sump pump. During her second visit she installed the new switch and in the process discovered a small pair of Buzz Lightyear underpants wrapped up in the motor of the sump pump. Since my twin grandchildren age three years old had spent six weeks with me, it didn't take long to figure that the mangled underpants belonged to one of them.

From first contact and estimate through completion of the job, Cecelia conducted herself with the utmost professionalism. The work was done thoroughly and with quality. They cleaned everything as they went. She even noticed that a sink in the master bath was clogged and fixed it! She was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely hire her again for future projects.
Description of Work: Cecelia and her assistant installed light fixtures in the foyer, powder room, master bath, and kitchen. They also installed ceiling fans in the master bedroom and home office, and a dimmer switch in the dining room. They removed and hauled away all the old fixtures.

Excellent! From the time I contacted her, sent her some emails of the projects to completion I was very pleased with the work Cecelia and her assistant Aldo did. One patch job turned out to be a problem with termites and Cecelia recommended another colleague to address the issue. For all other projects she went above and beyond the call of duty. She cleaned each area before moving on to the next. She always kept me informed of her progress and made sure her assistant was progressing on his projects. Her outside project was a real bear and the temp was about 90 degrees, but she was an excellent worker. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.
Description of Work: Replaced garbage disposal, cut out and replaced dry wall from damage from roof leak, hacked through forest next door to climb up and remove ivy and vines growing up side of house and into house, replaced facing board holding cable tv cables, etc, on back of house, replaced step in front of house.
