When my tenants moved out of the duplex I bought, they left it in pretty poor shape. Unfortunately, the previous owner didn't have any initial condition forms. So, I was left with fixing up the house, but I didn't have any security deposit to pay for it. We had 4 different Handymen come over to estimate the cost of the work. Sal and one other company were comparable in the estimate, but we went with Sal. It was great, because he actually came in $300 below his estimate! He did the work quickly, and the place looks so much better now! On top of that, he is an extremely pleasant person and he really cares about doing great work.
Description of Work: Sal fixed fixed many holes in the drywall. He retexturized it and painted it. He actually went to 3 different locations to get the paint matched, because he didn't think the first 2 places did a good enough job. He also redid the caulking in 2 of the bathrooms. Besides all of the holes (about the size of a fist), also had to touch up around 75 smaller holes that were created because the tenants used unnecessarily large nails, screws and hooks to hang things.
Sal is meticulous in his work and does a great job on anything he is asked to do. We have used him many times now for almost all our home remodel or other handyman needs and will continue to do so!
Description of Work: Sal Love painted our kitchen and laundry room, including the trim. Although the area to be painted was modest, there was much detail required to protect the wood and tile and cabinets throughout the kitchen. Also, we had decorative wallpaper trim in the laundry room that, if it were to be removed, would damage the texture of the walls, so Sal painted over the wallpaper trim. Sal did a masterful job with both rooms and we couldn't be more pleased. Also, while in the laundry room, Sal noticed a bulging washer hose coming from the hot water faucet to the washer. If the hose had broken, water would have been all over our home, so thanks to Sal, I was able to get the hose replaced.

I always call him when I have a list together! I don't think there's anything Sal cannot do - He does it all! He's also just very sweet man.
Description of Work: He cut some plexiglass for my large parrot cage to allow for the water bottle to stick through just enough. He also hung some large wildlife trophies & did some touch-up painting. There was a whole list of little things. He fixed a door that was no longer plumb with jamb too.
Sal did a magnificent job on all work. He covered the carpet, doors, air conditioning inflow(after ensuring the a/c was turned off in order not to harm the air conditioner), walls and floors with plastic to prevent dust from the ceiling removal from covering anything. He worked without air conditioning in the heat of June! We were going out of town during his work but had a house-sitter scheduled. Due to the dust and no a/c, however, the sitter was not practical and could not stay. Sal is completely trustworthy and has done other great jobs for us, so he worked all week in our house without anyone around. The new textured and painting ceilings look WONDERFUL, as do the newly painted hall, closet and bathroom. He is meticulous in his work and very thorough and professional. He takes care with everything he is doing as if it were his own house. We have another job for him - our guest bedroom to paint and repair some sheetrock, as well as make a new shelf in a bookshelf, and I look forward to scheduling him for that work in the next couple of weeks!I will definitely have him as my handyman contractor for any and all work in the future!
Description of Work: Sal Love performed many tasks for us: removed acoustic popcorn from the ceilings of our dining room and hallway, repaired a hole in the ceiling left when moving our light fixture to the center of the dining room, repaired damaged areas of the sheetrock, secured the sheetrock with screws (replaced nails that were used by previous contractors which caused the sheetrock to bow), primed, textured and painted the sheetrock after removing the popcorn from the ceiling, textured and painted the hallway and painted the bathroom(he had textured and painted the bathroom in a different color previously - see an earlier report). He repaired sheetrock in a hall closet and painted that as well. He repaired a hole in the sheetrock in the kitchen left when we changed from a square light fixture to a round one, then painted it, and you simply cannot tell that work was needed!

Sal was responsive and punctual in all stages, from the initial call to estimate and completion. Four of the cracks were significant and required removing sheetrock, replacing, taping, floating and painting. The work is so good that you can't even tell the damage was there. He even hand mixed ceiling paint to get a perfect match. The breadth of his experience is immediately noticable - he knows how things are done and can explain the consequences of using shortcuts. Anything he sees that he can help with , he offers a suggestion - a true gentleman. This work took 4 days - he was professional and personable the whole time, cleaning up each day. I would recommend him highly and will use him again for anything else I need done.

I called 512-587-3595 three times and during the first two calls I left my number after hearing that Sal would get back to me in one business day. On the last and third call I did not get a recorded message. So I assume that Sal is no longer working as a Handyman.

Sal was very prompt in his initial response to our phone call. We were on a tight time schedule to have painting and repairs done before moving in and he was able to accommodate us. We were considering having a specific closet redesign company come in as the closets were in pretty bad shape upon moving in. Because Sal did such an amazing job, this was not necessary. He gave us a brand new closet at a very fair price. He was very friendly, thorough in his evaluations, meticulous in his approach and we were very happy with his work. He left everything immaculate and completed all work within the time frame discussed.

My only complaint about Sal is that it took a little over four weeks for him to get to my job, when he had given me an estimate of two to two and a half weeks. Otherwise the experience was delightful. He is a very nice man, and does flawless work. I would recommend him highly.

Sal showed up the same day I called to give an estimate. He wasn't planning on working that day, but went ahead and did us a favor and started the job right then since we didn't have a functioning drain. Turns out the original plumber put in some unconventional (wrong) connections, and the job took much longer than expected (at no fault of Sal). He still stayed to finish the job on his day off - even making a trip to the hardware store. He's a really friendly and knowledgeable guy, and very meticulous about his work. I would highly recommend.
Description of Work: The drain pipe under bathroom faucet was moved over to align with a new sink and vanity top. The old pipe was cut, and new drain was attached to the sink base and the drain line.
We were extremely satisfied with Sal's work. He is hard working, professional and very punctual. We were so satisfied that we are engaging him to do additional work.
Description of Work: Removed wall paper in the powder room, textured and painted the walls. Put up mirror, fixtures and light.

Response from AAA Handyman Home Improvement
Member bought the coupon for 2 hours of work and I realy appreciate it. She has a nice home, however it contains lead in the drywall. I was really concerned for her safety, since she was pregnant and the lead can really harm her and the baby, so I warned her about it. The job was located in the master bedroom, where she sleeps in, so I neeeded to be extra careful with the repair. On top of that, the job required work that will last for about 2 days, so it could not be completed within the 2 hours. I worked for exactly 2 hours and even added an extra 10 minutes to make up the minutes that were lost, when I was warning her. I recall that after I finished the job, she liked my work and asked me to do another project in the house. Later that evening, I received a call from her husband, asking why haven't I completed the job. I explained to him that he only purchased 2 hours of work and that if he's willing to let me work more, I would be happy to do it. He refused however and asked me on what tips could he use to complete the rest of job. I gave him the tips without hesitation. And I just want to thank both Angie's List and all the costumers of Angie's List

Absolutely perfect. Sal is a wonderful wonderful handyman/drywall expert. Extremely professional and extremely friendly. Perfect work. He takes his work very seriously and he cuts no corners. He does things the way they are supposed to be done and it is clear that he takes great pride in his work and the end-result. He is probably my favorite contractor that I have ever hired. In fact, I'm looking for projects around the house just so we can re-hire him. I've already recommended him to some friends who need handyman work.
Description of Work: We had a nail that had popped out in our bedroom drywall. Sal fixed this so perfectly that I literally stood underneath it for about 5 minutes after he was done, trying to see exactly where the nail used to be. I could not, for the life of me, find it. Sal is an ARTIST! In our garage, we have sheetrock seams that were starting to show and some small cracks along the seams. Sal showed me why this was happening (the installers used nails instead of screws - as per design). He then offered a few solutions and we chose from one of these. He was very honest about what was needed and what was purely aesthetics. For example, the ceiling in the garage was textured. He was happy to retexture the entire sections when he was finished, but he did point out that this was the garage ceiling - in other words, does it really need texture? We chose to just have him touch up the screw holes where he fixed it and it looks perfect.

I had a busted water pipe last winter, so had an area of sheet rock that had been cut out in order to repair the water pipe. Sal patched it up, taped and floated the area in the 2 hours of time that i had purchased from him. He did a nice job, cleaned up the mess and is professional. He's honest and hard working. I will likely hire him for more work as he's one of the most reliable, professional and honest workers I've met.

We got a hole in the wall when someone opened the door with too much force and it caused the door knob to smash into the drywall. I looked around for a trustworthy person to come and fix the issue within reasonable price. When Angie's list advertised it on Big Deals, I signed up for an A+ rated handyman. Sal was very professional and always made sure I knew when he was going to come and such. He was very detail oriented and did the job amazingly well. I could not have asked for more. He is very polite and down to earth as far as costs/charges go.
Description of Work: Sal fixed a hole in the drywall of the size of a baseball. He was very methodical and had all the tools necessary to get the job done. He went the extra step to make sure the texture of the fixed part matched with existing walls.
Overall, it went very well. We're very pleased with his work and he made all of the repairs in about two weeks. I plan to have him refinish two tables after the holidays. He was very nice personally and very patient as I came up with more and more things that needed to be fixed as we walked around the house! I would highly recommend him to anyone
Description of Work: Sal did an excellent job on everything we asked him to fix. In about 10 minutes, he fixed our doorbell that had been broken for a year. He also installed a new garbage disposal, fixed a leak in the bathtub, and spent a lot of time figuring out a door lock that did not work as expected. He was also great at dealing with the frustration of a new ceiling fan with parts that didn't match what we had on our ceiling and another new ceiling fan that had missing pieces. In addition, he fixed and painted our mailbox, installed a toilet, repaired a stone stairway outside that had loose stones, and fixed a side table that had broken legs.

Sal did an excellent job. We scheduled for about 4 weeks out because my schedule was not very flexible and Sal stays busy and has lots of repeat customers. Sal takes pride in his work and the repairs were made to last a lifetime - he does it right the first time! I will definitely have him back to do a few more repairs for me in the future. Please be patient when trying to get on Sal's schedule - you will be happy that you did!

Sal arrived punctually at our home the day after totalling his truck. He probably should have rescheduled and rested. But it was obvious that he takes great pride in his business, his workmanship and his appointments with his customers. He patched quite a few holes in the ceiling of our garage and painted it as well. He also was able to fix some damage to a wall in our garage by cutting out a large area and replacing the sheetrock, taping, bedding and painting. When Sal was finished you could not tell there had ever been any damage. After he left, our neighbor walked by and asked us if we had just painted our garage. The work he did made the entire three car garage look brand new. We have a big list of things for Sal to do after Christmas. Can't wait to have him back.
Description of Work: Sal patched and painted holes in sheetrock in ceiling of garage. And cut out large (approx. 3 foot by 2 foot) piece of sheetrock in wall of garage and patched and painted as well. His work was immaculate.

I called Sal on a Saturday morning to see if he thought the Angie's List "Big Deal" (expiring that day) would apply to a backsplash I had with rotting drywall. He came out as promised--even after a very long day--to make sure I could decide whether to purchase or not. He told me that I really needed a backsplash and not to waste money on drywall repair. Extremely honest and conscientious! I will definitely use him in the future!!
Description of Work: Sal came out to give me an estimate for drywall repair.
Sal Love of AAA Handyman Service came to my house and gave me a price to repair the grout in two bathrooms. I was delighted with his price and hired him to do the job. He came promptly the next day and did a wonderful job of repairing the old grout in our two downstairs bathrooms. He found other areas that I had not even noticed that needed attention to prevent water damage and repaired those also. I was so happy with his work and cheerful disposition, that I hired him to return and do more work for me.
