Description of Work: Misael and his worker were very professional, they did timely work, considerate of our house and dogs. The work was impeccable. They removed the tub and tub surround, toilet and vanity. They redid the pipes in order to make the ceiling of the shower 5 inches higher! Installed ceramic tile all around the shower and ceiling of the shower. Just beautiful, and better than we had imagined it would come out. Installed ceramic on the rest of the floor of the bathroom, rewired the electric for two lamps and installed the medicine cabinet, vanity, sink, faucet, and the new toilet. Work was complete in less than 2 weeks and we had a brand new modern beautiful bathroom to enjoy. | |We will definitely use his services again, and have already recommended him to others. Our bathroom is a must-see in our house when we have guests, and they always are left in awe.

Misael and his colleague did an excellent job. They arrived on time and worked extremely hard all of the time they were on site. They took particular care not to damage any of the house exterior or the landscaping. We are very pleased with the work and would use CFI again. Highly recommended.

We were very pleased with the highly-skilled work performed by Mr. Misael Omana, CFI Home Improvement. He is a very professional carpenter and painter with a craftsman?s approach to his work. Misael is a perfectionist, and was detail-oriented with each and every aspect of the job. Both Misael and his experienced assistant were diligent, extremely accommodating and cordial. We were pleased that Misael always notified us via email regarding arrival times and never missed an agreed-upon time or date. I was particularly grateful that Misael educated us on a new type of stain by painting a ?sample? piece of wood so that we could see/compare how the finished product would appear and fill in gaps in the wood. As with all of our questions/requests for guidance, he took time to discuss color selections, design of newly installed wood, etc. The finished deck and other improvements included in this job have greatly enhanced the appearance of our property. We highly recommend CFI Home Improvement.

MIseal was wonderful! His prices were lower than his competitors and he provided top notch service. We asked him to sand an entire office hallway and then paint it. He was able to accommodate all of our requests and was extremely professional. There was quite a but of repair work that had to be done to the walls and moldings and he made sure everything looked brand new in the end. Would definitely recommend!

They did an excellent job! We highly recommend their services. Note that this company does more than just deck work. They do painting, flooring, carpentry and other "maintenance" type work. The other work they did for us falls under the carpentry category.
Description of Work: We asked CFI to provide quotes for a number of options to clean and stain our deck. We also requested additional work for the interior of our home and CFI responded quickly and efficiently. In fact, the price quoted above, though originally intended only for deck cleaning only ( approx 600-700 SF), also covered the other minor items we requested after receiving the quote.

The carpentry work was great on the front of the house. Replaced all wood and molding to mimic what was there previously. Very neat and professional. Front door, powerwashing and staining all looks great. I did need to ask Misael to come back because of some uneven areas, and he returned the next morning and redid the areas on both the deck and the fence. Very happy with how it turned out. I felt Misael was honest, and did a great job. I would definitely use CFI again.

Misael is a highly skilled carpenter and painter. He has a diverse set of skills which he applies to a wide variety of projects. Beyond his skills and professionalism, he is a pleasure to work with. He is excellent at communicating with clients, providing a written proposal, with detailed project description and cost estimate, soon after he meets with you. During the project, he sends e-mails in the evening letting you know the plan for the next day. If there are any discussions of changes to the plan, he documents the discussion in an e-mail that evening. Throughout the project he solicits the client's opinion to ensure that you are satisified with his work. I especially appreciate his creativity. I asked him to paint my front and rear steps (probably 25 steps in total). which are made from railroad ties and have required frequent repainting He provided me with an estimate for the painting but told me that the steps would continue to need frequent repainting due to the run-off from the front and back lawns. He suggested that I consider covering the treads and risers with Trex composite boards and explained to me that the Trex would not need repainting and would provide a permanent fix. I followed his recommendation and am extremely pleased with the result. On the deck and garage floor painting projects he did a very thorough job of preparing the surfaces before starting the painting. The final results look great. And his clean-up after each of the projects was excellent. I am planning to have Misael perform some interior projects this fall. I strongly recommend Misael and CFI for painting, carpentry, and other handyman projects.
Description of Work: 1) Paint Deck 2) Paint Garage Floor (3-car garage) 3) Repair front & rear steps by attaching Trex composite boards to railroad ties 4) Repair & paint badly warped side door 5) Repair carpentry and paint several windows

Description of Work: Replaced deck boards, handrails and treads on stairs (all horizontal wood) on our deck. Repaired/replaced damaged lattice under deck and installed door in lattice. Replaced damaged balusters, and reinforced posts. Stained entire deck and used separate color for trim around lattice. All work was done professionally and neatly. Misael and his team were courteous and cleaned-up after themselves. Misael himself was extremely responsive via email and always showed-up when promised (or sent a note when he would be delayed due to weather). We will definitely consider CFI for future projects at our house.

Misael and his crew were professional from the start through completion. During the price quote Misael suggested some additional staining of planters which we never even considered. We are so glad they were done. Even though the weather did not completely cooperate, the CFI crew were able to complete the job in a timely manner. We will be using CFI for future projects, and highly recommend them!

We were completely satisfied with both quality and professionalism of Mr. Omana and his team. He and his worker arrived on time, began the job immediately and did not stop until the room was finished. He offered sound advice on color choices and at the end of their work left our home in excellent condition. We will definitely use this contractor in the future.

Misael was excellent to work with. I was fortunate to call him on his estimating day, and he was able to come over to the house in just a few hours. He is very knowledgeable regarding home improvements and painting in particular. He is also quite good at communicating via text and email, which I feel is important these days. His references spoke highly of his work, so I felt comfortable choosing him. Misael and his coworker showed up to work each day on time, and made sure to clean up after each days work. He pays attention to details, and considers his quality of work to be a matter of personal pride. The final painting job was very good, and I would definitely use him again for painting or other projects.
Description of Work: Misael and his coworker painted almost the entire interior of my townhome, to include some trim removal and repair, and removal of wallpaper in a half bath. The work was done in 3 1/2 days.

We initially hired Mr. Omana to do a few jobs, and then extended it to many other projects that needed doing. This was based on the really excellent work he and his helper did, and the very reasonable prices charged. In addition, and importantly, Misael is very pleasant to work with, extremely accommodating, available to discuss all aspects of the projects, with good ideas on approaches. He is also very reliable, and a person of high integrity. He has extensive knowledge and experience in all the areas he worked with us on. He will also be re-doing a long paver walk with steps in front of house and paver area in walk out area by basement. He has a very good sense of design and had great ideas from his own experience for these jobs and sent me pictures of some past projects as well. I would enthusiastically recommend Mr. Omana and his company CFI for any repair or improvement job you might have in your home or business.

The overall experience was extremely positive. Misael contacted me quickly and came out to do an estimate. He sent me two versions of the estimate via email (one for one coat of paint, the other for two) with lots of detail. He was very organized in the way he helped me choose the paint brand and gave me lots of information and prices to go by. The work was started on time and finished perfectly. He even put an extra coat of paint on parts of the deck. The deck looks perfect now. I will definitely use CFI again.

Very affordable and professional work. I had a very limited budget to finish my basement and Misael worked with me to give me the best value for my money. He is efficient, courteous, and would definitely call him back for future jobs. He also did landscaping in my fist home and it came out beautiful. Again, very affordable and I got my money's worth.

I called Misael at CFI. I had never used him before. He came out the SAME day and gave us an estimate. It was reasonable and within the insurance limits, so I hired him. As soon as he had my deposit, he ordered the materials. He called me when they came in, and was at my house within a couple of days. The job is beautiful... better than it was before. He was courteous, prompt, reasonable, and the job is very professional. I will definitely use him for other future home improvements.
