Service: shower screens installation and shower tray replacement, and applying waterproof adhesives between tiles
Liron did an excellent job with my shower screens installation and shower plate replacement in Barcelona. He was professional, efficient, and stuck to a price that was way lower than the market, which was a pleasant surprise. The team was reliable and fast, and I appreciated how they used waterproof glue between the tiles. I highly recommend their outstanding service!

Initial Review
Service: Mounted TV with concealed cabling, installed dining room chandelier
Adrian was amazing. He came on time with everything prepared, was super communicative on WhatsApp asking for pictures and instructions, and kept checking if this is how I wanted it. He mounted my TV on the wall, hid the cables, brought all the screws and gear, and also set up a chandelier - did the electricity, drilled the ceiling, the whole thing - in about an hour and a half to two hours. The chandelier is slightly not straight which I think I can quickly fix, but overall it was great and the price felt more than fair, I’m already recommending him and would use him again.

Service: TV wall mount installation on hollow wall with correct bracket; plumbing issue assessment pending parts
Charles contacted me the same day and came to look at the job - mounting a television bracket onto a hollow wall. He told me my bracket wasn’t strong enough, advised which one to get, then came back the next day, fixed it to the wall, cleaned up, and we even had a drink in the apartment. Price felt fair, and I reimbursed him for some extra screws. I’ve already asked him to come back to fit a new radiator in the bathroom and change an electric plug once I get the parts.
