It cost us less than we thought it would. Their price was lesser than what three other contractors had given. We insisted on having the house wrapped in an insulation product that we had selected. He attached the siding that we had selected over that. He was excellent. He was personable and reliable. He was also apparently extremely knowledgeable. He came up with a couple of creative fixes. He is a nice man.
Description of Work: I used Miguel Torres Contracting Co. for siding work. He took off all the old siding. He also does roofing work. He had checked out the roof and found out a couple of places where we had damaged the shingles.

I was very pleased. He was very prompt, the workmanship was excellent, and he did not charge me more than the estimate even though he repaired a couple items that were not in the estimate.
Description of Work: Mr. Torres replaced numerous rotten boards on the sides my house. He also scarped and repainted some of the window trim.
He has a great crew that works fast and more importantly they do quality work. In addition to the vinyl siding they rebuilt the front porch and helped with a major kitchen remodeling project. They also did some other interior repairs caused by a roof leak. I would highly recommend Miguel Torres Contracting. They will exceed your expectations.
Description of Work: I have rental property that needed a lot of work. I initially engaged Miguel to install vinyl siding. He had the best price and was the most responsive of the contractors that I had contacted.

I was impressed with his job for two main reasons: 1) The quickness of his response. and 2) His resourcefulness in finding siding which would be a match for the damaged siding. Concerning #1, I showed Mr. Torres the problem on a Wednesday, and he told me that he might be back be back in about a week. Instead, he came back on Thursday, the very next day, and completed the job. I was very surprised and happy when I spoke to him on the phone on Friday, and he told me that he was already finished. Concerning #2, Mr. Torres had had some problems finding new siding which was a good match for the damaged siding. To solve this problem, he looked underneath our house, and found some extra siding which was left over from the building of the addition. He used this to replace the old, damaged siding.I was very impressed that he thought to do this. Getting back to #1, the quickness of response, this was very helpful, because we've had quite a bit of snow and rain since he completed the job. We've actually had 3 snowstorms since Mr. Torres finished the job less than 2 weeks ago. I was also very happy with how reasonable his prices were. Mr. Torres was very professional and helpful, and I would strongly recommend his services.
Description of Work: Mr. Torres and his co-worker replaced several rows of defective vinyl siding, and also replaced quite a few missing shingles on our roof. The old vinyl siding on the addition of our house did not fit together properly between the second floor window and the first floor window. Because it didn't fit together properly, the siding had been coming off of the back of the house (the addition). I had been repeatedly trying to hammer the old vinyl siding back into place, but it kept getting damaged more and more, each time I hammered. Mr. Torres replaced the damaged siding, and got the newer siding to fit together properly, so that the siding would no longer come off of the back of the house.

He wrote them up but it took a while to get them. He was fine. The quote was kind of high but he did show an interest in having it wrapped, but it was higher than I expected. He did come out on time.
Description of Work: I got a couple of quotes from Torres to do the whole wrap of the house and also to do just repairs.

Mr. Torres came out and gave me an estimate of the job. He explained what the job required and the materials he would use. The day of the project, it was raining and Mr. Torres arrived 10mins before are set appt. time! ( Wow!) When he arrived he showed me all the materials and explained again what he would be doing. After he completed the job, he had me look over everything .... I'm so glad I decided to chose Mr.Torres, his number is a "Must KEEP" for future projects.
Description of Work: Replaced rotting door trim and wrapped door trims with vinyl.

Showed up when requested and worked long hours, including over the Christmas holiday, to meet our timeline of having all the painting done before we moved into the house. He was very dedicated and met the deadline. We were grateful for the extra effort!
Description of Work: Painting entire interior of house and refinishing floors. The painting was done very well and we are quite pleased. The floors weren't refinished as well as we had hoped- dips where the sander dug into the wood and clear indications an orbital sander was used. They did work very hard to remove a large stain in the living room wood floor and we appreciated the extra effort that took. This is the second time we've used Miguel and highly recommend him for painting and drywall repair.

Mr. Torres did a great job, was professional, and I would hire him again. I only spoke to him over the phone and was pleased by his work.
Description of Work: I called Mr. Torres after I read his reports on Angie's list. I asked for an estimate to fix the wood frame around my bay window at a rental property. Mr Torres gave me a very fair quote and fixed the window so I looks like new.

Mr. Torres made two site visits and provided sketches, materials samples, and a printed estimate prior to beginning our deck project. He proposed a design for the deck addition, which of necessity had an irregular shape. He and his crew of two showed up on time every day of the eight days they worked. Having missed two rain days in the second week of construction, they worked longer hours on the sixth and seventh days and completed the project in two fewer days than Mr. Torres' original projection. We are completely satisfied with the work done on this project, and we appreciated Mr. Torres' several suggestions (e.g., use stain rather than paint of deck railings and posts, thereby averting frequent repaintings).
Description of Work: Mr. Torres' crew removed the existing wooden deck and strengthened the support structure. A layer of gravel was laid beneath the joists. They then painted (actually, stained) all of the railings and gates before replacing the deck with composite boards. A deck addition, at a different level and surrounding an already-installed hot tub, was built as new construction. This entailed adding a set of steps, sinking concrete-secured support posts and joists, and laying matching composite decking. Finally, a stairwell leading to the original deck was painted to match the composite decking and all debris was removed.

He was great. He replaced all the bad wood. He went above and beyond, we were extremely pleased!
Description of Work: They did total vinyl siding on our 2 story house. He also rebuilt our front porch and steps as well.
The entire project went extremely smoothly and without any problems other than the days it rained and they could not work. Showed up when they said they would and they were very professional about they way they did the repair work. They delivered what they promised and exceeded our expectations.
Description of Work: Miguel Torres Contracting repaired rotten wood all around the house including door sills. In most instances they replaced the rotten wood with Vinyl/PVC. Also, reconstructed our front Bay Window with Vinyl/PVC and extended the roof above it and repaired the flashing above to stop water leakage into the home. Repaired ceiling inside the home where the leakage of water was coming in from the Bay Window. Painted our home including all exterior doors, garage door, window shutters, gutters, down spouts (they removed the down spouts to paint the wood behind it and painted the down spouts while they were removed from the home), and all exposed wood. They replaced storm door with a new one. Power washed the entire home including the roof and deck. The large deck was also stained.
I called him and he came out to give me an estimate. I showed him the problem I was having with the leaky basement door and he quickly explained a solution that he could make to stop the water from getting into the basement. He told me he'd call me when he was available to do the job and gave me an estimate. Two weeks later he called and came the next day to do the work. It took him half of the next day to finish but the estimate proved true. And I am very pleased with his work and professionalism. I will call him again.
Description of Work: Miguel replaced a leaky basement door, a damaged interior door, and built a closet around a water heater that did not fit into the old closet. He also painted the new closet and put a folding door on it.

Very well. Miguel made an extra effort to get the work done over the holidays and they did a very good job.
Description of Work: We moved into an older home that needed to have texture paint and wallpaper removed. We removed all the old wall coverings; Miguel and his contractors put a skim coat over the plaster walls so that they had a smooth finish and could be painted.

I called Miguel in the evening and left a request for an estimate on his voice mail. Miguel called back the next day to arrange a time for the estimate and he was flexible with working around my schedule. Miguel came over at the scheduled time. I showed him the areas needing to be fixed and where we wanted the painting to be done. Miguel asked good questions to make sure he understood what I wanted. He explained what would need to be done and how it would require multiple days to complete. In an effort to save money, I said I would buy the paint and he would only need to touch up the trim where it was impacted by his work. Miguel gave me a price of $1200. Miguel didn't provide a formal estimate form, but offered send me one the next day. We decided to use Miguel and I called him back the next day. I asked if there was any better price he could give and gave me a 10% Angie's List discount, bringing the price to $1080. We agreed on a approximate start date and Miguel said he'd call me a couple of days prior to the start date to confirm. As promised, Miguel called before the start date. Miguel and a helper arrived promptly. He explained what he was planning on accomplishing for the day, then they began right away. They layed tarps everywhere they were working and removed their shoes as whenever they entered the house (not required). Throughout the entire day they only took one break for lunch. When they finished for the day they cleaned up everything. I requested on the 2nd day that Miguel arrive an hour later than originally agreed upon which he was able to do. When he arrived, he told me again what he was planning on accomplishing for the day and began working, again staying on task and cleaning up before leaving. On the 3rd day (Saturday) Miguel arrived with a helper, he reviewed what he wanted to accomplish and they began working. They worked all day with only a small break during the middle of the day to allow the paint to dry. They were not able to finish on Saturday (Miguel had let me know this might be a possibility up front) and we arranged for him to finish up on the following Tuesday. Tuesday he arrived a little early. He had a helper finish up the ceiling as he had to work on another job. He returned by late morning to walk through once everything was completed. On the first day Miguel determined it wasn't necessary to remove one of the sheet rock panels in the ceiling as he had originally thought, and instead repaired the tape in the corner which we didn't discover was coming off until the entertainment center was moved. The only issues was some paint on the arm of the chair, but Miguel was able to clean it without any problem. Since he's left, I've noticed a couple of small details like paint on the light fixture base and some on the trim, but this is small and I need to clean them anyway. All in all, I am very happy with the work done and have already requested an estimate on more work we need done.
Description of Work: Repair water damaged hole in living room ceiling and repair cracks in wall plus where drywall tape was coming off in living room and dining room. Paint ceiling in living room, and two hallways. Paint whole dining room changing the color from blue to tan.
Everything went well. He repaired quite a bit of damage that a long dead dog had done. The walls look so nice now, I wish I had been more adventurous in choosing the color!
Description of Work: He did about half and half, carpentry and painting. He did an excellent job in both areas. He installed cabinets and put up a wall and countertop. Then he scrubbed down the walls in 2 rooms to get rid of stains and mildew, patched the plaster, and painted.
Miguel was very professional. He was on time and reasonably priced. They worked very hard to finish the job quickly, only taking 3 days. I will hire Miguel again if I need any additional house work completed.
Description of Work: Finished off a 325 sq ft semi finished attic. Cleaned up drywall. Built customized wall desk (drywall & wood), shelf, and 3 medium sized closet doors. Framed and drywalled a small "box" around duct work, and finished a six foot wall bench. All included very nice trim. Painted whole room and stair well, including painting over 1/2 wall paper.

Mr. Torres did a wonderful job! He came when he said and did the work right (for example, he installed new felt before putting up the siding, always primed boards that were cut where they would come together, primed the siding then painted it). He used top quality material (like PVC to replace trim) and he charged exactly what he said he would, despite having to a little extra work because he found more rot than expected. He and his crew were easy to have around. They did not ask a bunch of questions or want to come inside and they worked 12 hour days to get the job done fast.
Description of Work: Mr. Torres replaced rotten siding and trim on our house, cut vents for our front porch and hung a large, heavy wooden garage door. He painted the siding and trim. He supplied materials and cleaned up.

They did a good job. I have already recommended them to several people. They were on time and answered all of our questions. The quality of the work was fantastic and they finished everything in a good amount of time.
Description of Work: They finished out our basement and converted it in to living space, which is about 600 square feet. The drywall, electrical and the walls were done in the basement as well as the lighting. They also painted the exterior of our 1600 square foot house at the same time.
