Rudy came to the house to access the scope of the job. I gave him a deposit check to cover the cost of the materials, and he went to purchase the necessary materials. Then he returned to the house, and did an excellent job on the project. I first found Silver Desert Handyman (Rudy) on Angie's List about 3 years ago. I have used him for numerous projects and shall continue to do so!

Rudi is the solution to all my security problems. Keeping a downtown LV property secure from the zombies, and a house in the burbs safe from local delinquents is a major headache. Rudi has the tools and expertise to do it all. His bids for the chain-link fence installation and installation of a vehicle access gate were half of what the local major fence company wanted. No one will ever again be able to use a crowbar on my security gates after what he has done. I will always call Rudi first for just about everything. Always prompt, courteous and professional. And a real friend. I have hired him for so many jobs, I lost count.
Description of Work: Installed vehicle access gate; welded steel plates to secure security gates from break-in attempts; built and installed lockable steel grate over crawl space access; installed lockable latch on mailbox. Two separate properties.

I called Rudy that I had some work that I needed help with. He promptly set up a time convenient for both of us. He performed all these small jobs for me and we set up a date to paint my wrought iron fence. He showed up with his crew and they spent all day power sanding the wrought iron, that was in bad condition and then came back the next day to paint it. The job was done in an excellent manner so it will last longer than me. I found Rudy on an Angie's List special and have always been pleased to have him there for me to perform those jobs I'm unable to do. He's wonderful for our "over 55 community".

We want one of our computers in the dining area, but we don't want a computer table which is too big there, so we decided on a "nook" or something small and unobtrusive that would just be attached to the wall. Our biggest issue is we don't want it to be jutting out to much, so we decided on 11 inches deep, with just enough space for the CPU underneath, a printer on the 2nd level, a regular (not mounted) screen on the main level with the speakers and mic, and a keyboard with mouse underneath. We wanted a retractable and rotating or adjustable keyboard tray, but all the trays we found are all too wide and too long that they wouldn't fit underneath. We found http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033UNHQ8/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 from Amazon, and it was perfect for our needs, except for the fact that just the rail itself is 18 inches. Rudy cut the rail of the tray for us so that it wouldn't be too long and would fit underneath the main "table". He also cut the boards, painted them, and installed everything on the picture. Now, we've got the perfect computer nook in between our dining room and the den. As always, he's very easy to talk with and get an appointment, and the price is always reasonable and the service is excellent.
Description of Work: Custom make a computer nook in the dining area, including customizing a retractable and rotating keyboard tray (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033UNHQ8/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to fit under the small table/nook which is only 11 inches deep.

They send 2 men and charge the hourly rate for each man so service call was double the amount advertised. I made a call later for same service and they wanted to recharge entire amount for the same thing. It was service on a fireplace and I had not used...then I went to use 2 months later and Had the same problem. They did not offer any credit or discount at all to come out and do the same thing. Never been so disappointed with any of Angie's list referral. We have used several other referrals and they were always as advertised. I do not think he even should be on Angie's list!!! Misrepresentation all the way !!

Response from Silver Desert Handyman
I apologize for the dissatisfaction and it is my goal always to do my best at keeping my clients happy. It seems that we have some confusion to start with. The date of service was in August 17 2012 were a year & 4 months ago. I looked at my invoices and found all of my information. The coupon was $79 & you paid $60 after that. It was not $180, it was $139. The date you mentioned that you called in your comments were in the future, the review was posted in December 5 2013 & you stated that 2 months later you called and ask for new service call, but that was not the case and so that's a confusion on your part. I will either refund the money or fix the job. I have sent you an email offering a $80, due to your dissatisfaction, but I have not gotten a response. Also, in the details of the "Big Deal" coupon that you purchased it stated that it's either one man for 2 hours or 2 men for 1 hour.

The hinge bolt on my gate broke when I opened it on a very windy day. I called a handyman that I've used before and he said he was very busy but would be out within the week. The week came and went and he didn't show up. I contacted him again and he told me that he'd be out to my house within the next two days, and then would be going out of town for 10 days. He called on a Tuesday and told me he'd be at the house - never showed up. I wasn't willing to wait for his return and possible future no show. I called Silver Desert Handyman and the phone was answered by a very pleasant woman who told me that they could be there that day! I wasn't able to make that happen so we settled on the following day. She told me that Rudolf would call me to set up a time between 1:30 and 2:00 that afternoon. At 1:50 he called and we agreed on 4:00 the following day. Rudolf showed up on time, looked at the problem with the gate and told me he could fix it right away. I had checked around to get an idea of cost, his quote was lower than anything I had found! He had a helper with him and they began working. About 20 minutes later, he had repaired the broken side and wanted to show me that there was still a problem with the fit of the doors. He explained how to fix it, quoted the cost and asked how I wanted to proceed. Even with this repair, the cost was less than I anticipated paying. They went straight to work- by now it was dark outside - and fixed the problem. The gate opens and closes smoother and easier than it has since we moved in to the house! I am VERY pleased with the entire experience and will absolutely call Silver Desert again when I have work that needs to be done.

Our clothes rack with shelf fell off the wall because we over loaded it with clothes to dry. We contacted Rudy as he has performed repairs for us for several years. Rudy ask me to send him a photo of the wall and shelf so he would be prepared to do the repair correctly the following day. Therefore when he arrived to do the repair he brought stabilizing arms to strengthen the shelf. We were very happy that Rudy had been proactive and was ready to complete the repair in a very timely manner without needing to go to the hardware store and that the self was better than before!

Rudy and Gene did a great job. They had to come back to the job several times due to long drying times. Each visit was on time and the workmanship was great. The side gate to the backyard by which they had to enter to repair the block wall always sticks. They repaired it, no charge. Not part of the job.

The entire job went flawlessly and without a hitch. Tenants are really happy that the enclosure doors can be used again and properly locked. This is the third time this year that I have utilized Rudy's services at my commercial property, and it will not be the last. He is a consummate professional and a man of his word. I make the highest recommendation without reservation.

Hello [member name removed], We removed the old handle on the bathtub faucet and we found out that the top of plastic stem was disintegrated. I made two plumbing trips to the supply stores and I tried to purchase a new stem, but both sales representatives informed me, we have to purchase the whole set for over $300 (special order). After I returned to your house, we both agreed you will research on the internet for a more reasonable purchase option and then you will contact me. Approximately 30 days later after service was done, I received a call at 9pm from you about the broken water line outside of your house at Golden Oaks, because Las Vegas was hit by low freezing temperatures. I explained to you that it will be better to call some one local, because I live 28 miles from your house. It will take over one hour to get tools ready and drive to your house in the middle of the night. I should have asked about the purchase progress, but I didn’t (I apologize for that) you did not mention anything about a running toilet. The Big Deal coupon was purchased 7/9 2012. Service was performed November 28 and December 3 2012 not in march 2013 as reported. After I received your report September 29 2013, I did call immediately multiple times and sent you two emails with offer of fix the problem immediately. I’m always open to help customers to fix any problem with our service right away, I try really hard to satisfy all customers. Sorry for your dissatisfaction, Rudy

Rudolph and Ali (sorry if i misspelled) arrived exactly on time for the estimate. They were great, courteous and provided opinions without being at all pushy. They gave a fair estimate of the work on what I have seen for pricing in the area. They arrived 10 minutes early on the agreed day and immediately set to work. Their interior paint work and wall repairs were spot on and exactly as we asked. Te other repair work was done exacty as requested, including matching perfectly a small stained area of popcorn ceiling. They finished everything on time, on budget and were great to deal with! Would absolutely recommend for repair work and they are outstanding painters!

Rudy fixed our gates by first removing the rust, sprayed painted the gates, came back next day to install the mesh on them. Throughout the process, he was very careful about not getting the paint onto the walls/windows from the spray. They look like new now. As for the paint job, Rudy and his partner came prompty on the scheduled day, not only did he paint the garage door, but also re-newed our 2 outdoor lights by the garage as well. It took them about 5.5 hours to complete the paint job and it looks great now. We are very pleased of his professionalism, definitely will use him again for any future repairs.
Description of Work: We got a pair of garden iron gates (1 double gate and 1 single) that were getting rusty We were considering getting new gates, but Rudy said they were still in very good condition, so we decided to let Rudy re-finish them. After he completed the work on the gates, we like it a lot so asked him to come back to paint our garage door which was fading and peeling. The iron gate job costs around $500 including materials (mesh, paint etc) and the paint job for the garage is about $400.

I put the call in and received a call back from Rudy. He wanted to come and look at the project right away but I was not available until after 1 PM. He and his helper showed up and I showed him what needed to be done. Before I knew it, they had started on it. They kept the work area clean and cleaned up after the job was done. Pretty much everything I showed him to do, he said he could do it today, which he did. After each project was done, he called me to check it out and it was done to my satisfaction. He will be the only handyman I will call from now on.
Description of Work: Installed a swag for the dining room light and filled in the hole. Put bathroom towel hanger. Fixed it to where I can now hang an over-the-door towel hanger for my guest bathroom. Hung a ceramic statuette over the front door. Fixed the stucco on the front patio. Removed the satellite dish from the side of the house, which the previous owner had, and patched the holes. Repositioned the tree support to where it was more stable.

Rudy was the only one that responded to my email when searching Angie's List looking for a carpenter. He emailed me yesterday to say my desk was finished! He and his co-worker delivered that afternoon. I did not realize this would be difficult to get into my office as the doorway was too small. My husband & Rudy & Coworker got it through the window into my office. Thank you Rudy!!!! I am so thrilled to finally have my desk to my exact specifications. I would highly recommend Silver Desert Handy Man to anyone that browses Angie's List. From the first contact through the finished product, Rudy was very professional. I will be calling him again to help me with other items in our new home.
