Silvio performed a very professional, excellent job. It's obvious that he takes great pride in his work and it shows in the final result - I would hire Silvio again in a heartbeat!!!

He works alone and did an excellent job. He's easy to deal with and is just an overall nice guy. He showed up on-time, his work was clean and he was very helpful.
Description of Work: He installed some shelving for me in our laundry room. He also fabricated a little counter top which we put on top of the washer and dryer which gives us more space.
As I mentioned above, I will be referring all my friends to him. He is AWESOME! We are two senior citizens and we mentioned we would need help with putting the air conditioners back in the windows when spring comes. He remembers everything and is a very kind man. We are breathing a sign of relief now that we have a handyman we can depend on. Thank you Angie.
Description of Work: I called Silvio and suggested he come round and take a look at what things we needed done. He came the next day, very timely, and we discussed our home repair concerns. He was very candid and told us what he could do and what he could not do. We wanted him to put in new shelves in our kitchen cabinets, get rid of a grease stain on our porch from frying our turkey, sand and paint 6 large window sills in the upstairs bedrooms, redesign a front panel for our hottub, replace two long panels in our front gate, put insulation around the front door and fix a window that had come out of its track. He works fast and efficiently and all the work was done to perfection. We had wanted him to do some electrical work but he was very honest with us and thought he could do it but recommended an electrician. What a find! He is very professional and tries to do things as inexpensively as possible. You just feel this guy cares about you.

Silvio was very responsive when I contacted him about our loose newel post. He was very prompt - he came on time and he provided us different suggestions on how the newel post can be fixed. He put a few nails into the newel post and it's not as wobbly/much more stable as it was. I'm satisfied with his work - he told us there was no charge, which was very kind of him. I would definitely use Silvio again in the future! Thank you for your services!

Silvio was prompt he came out within a half an hour of me contacting him. He did the work in less than two half days. He patched up some drywall to be ready for paint. While I was happy with his dry wall work, I was disappointed that I had to do a lot of sanding work to get the walls even and complete. Actually when he was finishing the work he was about to leave a section of drywall unfinished and I had to ask him to complete it. He did an immediate patch job, and left. I though he was going to come back to sand it, but I was mistaken. I especially wanted it sanded since I will have a vanity that will show the areas of the drywall that was unfinished, Silvio was extremely nice, and approachable, His drywall work installation was great, but the finishing was not. I actually hired him because I wanted to someone to give me a great finishing job, and I don't really believe I got that. Maybe I wasn't clear on my expectation, or maybe he wasn't clear on his limitations, either way I am not 100% satisfied.

First I called Angie?s List to find a provider to make bookshelves. After getting the information I needed I called Silvio from Home Repair Services. Made an appointment with him and he came out promptly. He brought samples and showed me approximately what it would looked like. He came out about three different times to consult with me. Quoted a competitive price. Was quick, prompt, and the outlook was excellent. I highly recommend Silvio of Home Repair Services. To add he loved my dog, I am a big dog person, so that was an extra bonus.

Silvio came promptly around 9:00 AM and went right to work. He is diligent and very professional. He gave me good advice and honest feedback on the work he did. The weather stripping did not work out and he advised me against it. He was there primarily to install the drawers. I showed him the other smaller jobs to see if he could do the work, which he did. He didn't even charge me for the smaller repairs. I appreciated his hard work and honesty. I believe he treated my home as if it were his own. I plan to have him return in the Spring to do some outdoor maintenance as well. So happy I found him.
Description of Work: Silvio came out to install several roll out drawers for my kitchen cabinets and install weather stripping for a sliding glass door. He also repaired a small patch of damaged drywall, sealed cracked shower tiles, and repaired a bent window screen.

Extremely well. I have used Silvio many times, and will continue to use him in the future.
Description of Work: For this job, he installed two vents in my bathroom to help the pipes stay warm in the winter ($100 total), and fixed two doors that didn't close properly ($50). Very professional and friendly. He does this because he likes it, and you can tell.

Silvio was very nice but he thought he could not satisfy me. Since I wanted broken things fixed he thought I was too particular. I had pages of lists of jobs that need to be done. We walked around and looked at the jobs he said that he would not be able to please me because I’m too particular.
Description of Work: I asked Home Repair Service to come out and look at some odd jobs around my house that needed to be done.

Silvio was very prompt when we requested an estimate for the repair of our deck. We needed several floor boards and some top boarding replaced. Silvio also recommended that the lattice work we had up could be replaced since we had trees to give us the privacy we wanted. We we agreed upon the estimate and he was to work the following day with the appropriate wood. He also helped us pick a new color for the staining, recommending several changes. He was always prompt and cleaned up every day after he was finished. When the deck was completed, it looked new and gave out backyard and fresh look. We are planning on using Silvio for further work on some repairs around our house.

I spoke to a couple of service providers before I found Silvio. He came the same evening I called for an assessment and indicated my stairs were not dropping but that my handrail had separated from the stairs. My late brother used the railings to pull himself up the stairs and I had never noticed the separation before last month. Silvio came back 2 days later and fixed the issue in less than an hour. He purchased a new tube of caulking to use after the railing had been re-secured (he did not use all of it)..LEFT the tube with me and showed me me how I could fill in cracks, ets. every year or so as things settle. I just thought that was a great gesture! He was on time for the assessment and also on time Friday morning when he came to fix the problem. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. My townhouse is in great shape but built in the 80s...it needs some sprucing up. We ended up walking around my home (I was showing him all the things I wanted to do in the next year or so) and he was great. I'm putting a plan in place and we'll work off of that moving forward -- he also gave me options (some less expensive, some more expensive) so I could determine how to allocate budget in the future. Will I call him again? ABSOLUTELY!!

Silvia was able to come to my house for an estimate the evening of my call. I received an estimate later on that evening. When I accepted the offer, he scheduled the job within a week. He was friendly and punctual. Repair work was completed to my satisfaction other than having to do the final sanding myself. I thought the price was high in retrospect as the job was completed in a little less than 2.5 hours. The job was mostly labor. Cost of materials could not have factored much in this job. Also, I was disappointed to find lots of spackle/drywall debris on my carpet, in my master bath and on my dryway where the truck was parked. I expect better than this when I hire someone thus the "fair" rating under professionalism.

I mentioned to [member name removed] that she would need to do the final light sanding, which would save me a return trip and dollars for her.......the sanding was so very minor. I folded every drop cloth she had put down (which was not needed). I covered the floor thru the entire process, swept the area when I was done......I did not vacumed the floor, didn't think it needed it. I folded all her drop cloths that she had spread out (they were not needed), The price was agreed upon prior to me starting, I did not ask for any money up front, [member name removed] seen the job prior to me leaving, said it looked good, I reminded her of the minor sanding, I think I left her a sanding pad. If you look at all my other ratings, I do a good job! IF [member name removed] calls me I will go over and sand the area for her. Silvio Cifa

From start to finish Silvio was very professional. He came out the same day I contacted him to give me an estimate which he emailed me that same night (10/28). Initially he was going to do the work the week of Nov4th but I asked if he could possibly do the work before the weekend.He was very accommodating and came out Friday morning (11/1) and completed the job. We will definitely call him again.

After reviewing the quotation, agreeing upon the scope of work, the contractor came out twice to perform the work. We made several changes between the first and second visit, which the contractor was able to accommodate. All work was performed professionally. Also the contractor was willing to work with my wife and I to assure our needs were met. This, in addition to a courteous, customer-first attitude is what set this contractor apart from others we have worked with in the past. Payment was not due until all work was performed to our satisfaction. In particular, we enjoyed working with this contractor, would highly recommend him to others, and look forward to working with him on other future work
Description of Work: First the contractor came to our house and gave us an estimate to install handrails, grab bars, and drywall. Services also quoted included staining the bedroom ceiling which had water damage from a previous leak. The contractor also proposed other components which for which we may contract with him in the future.

. Silvio came out to estimate the job the day after I called him. He submitted his bid that night by e-mail. He arrived promptly on the scheduled day( which was quite timely) and worked very hard and quickly all day. He was very pleasant and professional. Because we added onto the job, he finished the added work the next day at noon. The window repairs included removing the dryrot, filling the spaces and replacing several sills. He then primed and painted the repairs. We were very pleased with his work and his efficiency.
Description of Work: Silvio Cifa repaired nine window sills and sashes that were damaged by dryrot. After the replacement and repair of the affected areas, he painted all nine window repairs. He also replaced two boards on our deck.
