Good Wood

Remember the old truck I worked on? well I did and when I heard it was up for sale I decided to give myself an early Holiday prezzie. After stripping of the old deck I crafted a new one. Insurance and DMV was dealt with and christened the name "Roxy" she was put right into use.

She's a working girl now!

Before and after...

(somewhat) Simple as that. The client had a new bathroom and a plie of bits and two days later there was this.

Paperhanging

No, I do not counterfeit, But I do on occasion hang wallpaper, lucky the client had some easy pre-glued paper, so an after noon with a spray bottle, a ladder , some sharp craft blades and help from the client and we had this. I normally charge extra for people want to help, but since it came out so well I let it slide.

..Even the her pug Rudy approved.

Testimonials

YELP: (Five Stars)

"There is simply no one better to handle ... well, all your handy tasks! I had Sam work for me pretty much all day (from hauling stuff to assembling and painting furniture) and not only did he give me 110% but did so with a great sense of humor and a VERY professional attitude! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" - MC

"I hired Samuel to help my husband de-clutter and sort through our garage, which was starting to resemble a 'Hoarders' episode. He came highly recommended to us by his previous clients and we weren't disappointed. He was easy to communicate with, professional and arrived on time. He worked with my husband for the entire afternoon, helped turn the garage back into a normal room, and then hauled away all the stuff we didn't need. I stood in the garage today (which I can actually walk through for the first time in months) and felt very grateful."

"Put screws in the bench that is a part of my breakfast table. He definitely EARNED the satisfaction that comes from a job well done. A very satisfied customer is what I am now & when he left. I got his name & will defnitely recommend him & his work to others that I kniw. He is charasmatic & stays with a task until it is completed. Will I recommend his work? YES!!

Samuel is definitely a pro. He was reasonable, friendly and did what he said he would do (even though there was rain and he had to come back the next day to finish). His work looked good and he came back to make sure everything was alright after it dried. I would definitely recommend his services to others.

Samuel went above and beyond. He painted the wall behind where our old toilet was, he went to the hardware store when he needed a new part, and was very helpful in cleaning up the water from the broken toilet!

A great work! Overall a great experience. Very friendly, very efficient, honest and kind. He was able to complete the task at half the time others originally quoted. Will definitely use him again when the task ask for it! Thanks!
