I have some wood rots on the exterior walls and sidings and they need to be fixed. Nelson did a very good job. he's patient to explain what he was doing. his price is very reasonable. He's prompt and on-time once you get hold of him and schedule your work. but he could be hard to reach sometimes perhaps he's too busy.

He showed up 2 hrs late. He assesses the deck and made recommendations. He said he would return the next day after 5 pm and give us the estimate. He never showed up and never called us...

All around excellent experience! Mr. Alvarez gave me a reasonable quote, arrived at my house when he said he would and completed the project just as we'd discussed. In addition, he went above and beyond in helping me come up with a creative 'fix' for an issue from a previous contractor. Would highly recommend!

I will call him again for sure. He is efficient, professional, and his prices are Quite reasonable.
Description of Work: Mr. Alverez replaced a rotted post for my mailbox with a new post that he made himself since he couldn’t find any at Home Depot or Lowe’s. He also replaced some rotted fence posts. Inside he repaired two walls and repainted them. All of his work was done expertly ( you should see the mailbox post!). He was careful about distancing and masking. Which I appreciated since I am an older person.. His card is on my refrigerator!

Nelson Alvarez got back to me, promptly and I was able to schedule a visit the following day. Nelson came to my home at the appointed time and gave me an estimate, which was very reasonable. He came the following day and started the work which was on a Sunday. This was necessitated since it was supposed to rain on Monday. I really appreciated his promptness, especially since it was just before the Christmas holidays. His appraisal of the work was thoughtful, creative and detailed. Since the work involved additional materials, he promptly went out and got them. He worked into the dark but finished the job on the same day. The work he did was of very high quality and took care of the problem. We have not had a recurrence of the problem so far (1 week later). We were so pleased with the work he did, that we discussed other potential projects for him to do in the new year. I would highly recommend his services.

Nelson completed several home projects for us and did an outstanding job. He replaced and installed 3 new bathroom exhaust fans, installed a new mailbox, fixed our leaker gutter and repaired our fence. Each job was completed as discussed in a timely and professional manner. Would definitely hire again for other upcoming home repairs and projects and highly recommend.

Description of Work: Nelson was awesome! High quality work, thorough and an overall good guy. He made sure that our TV was in the perfect position before he left and that’s the sign of someone who cares about their work. Fairly priced and was able to do it within a day. I couldn’t recommend him more!
