Sylvia'S Small Jobs

Wall repair / painting was perfect. New layout of lawn area is very attractive

I left a message on the company's voice-mail. Left the details of the job, the tenant's name and contact info, permission to do the work, and my contact information. Neither me nor the tenant received a call in a week's time. Still no call. The job obviously never got done. Whether a problem with communication (relaying messages) or just unresponsiveness, very unprofessional and unreliable. As a busy landlord with plenty of cinsistent and repeat work to offer a company, I dont appreciate the waste of time, an untouched job and a frustrated tenant. I would never recommend this company.

I had the guy over for a few things -- mainly checking out a smell in the wall where a rodent had lived. We were worried that it had died in the wall. He made small holes in the wall (which he patched afterwards with a mixture, I agreed to paint them myself) and ran a small camera inside. He found out that a rodent had lived there before but that the smell is more likely a plumbing issue, which would require a snake and a scope that he didn't have. I had him do a few other miscellaneous things around the house including patching holes in a bathroom wall from when a vanity and mirror were replaced, securing molding on a paneled wall that was coming down, and repairing a downspout. The patches in the bathroom he said to wait until the next day when it dries completely to sand a little and paint. I was satisfied with the work he did and will have him over again. I think he was reasonably priced and did a decent job for the things he did. I liked the fact that he knew his limits and knew what I should call someone else to do. I had him look at a retaining wall that I will need replaced this year. He was able to give me a couple of options and said he could do it but that a landscape company with a crew would probably be lower priced. He does not have a webside, and neither the receipt or sheet he printed has a home address, but his phone number is 724-882-5136. He says he does small engine repair for lawnmowers, but I did not use that service and do not know how good he is at that.
