Service: Repaired apartment door; fixed simple kitchen cabinet
I hired Patrick to fix our door and he was great. He came to my apartment to look at the door first to see what parts were needed, sent an estimate by email with what the job would cost, then came back two days later and fixed it, and it’s working properly. Everything was upfront and easy, and he checked in after by WhatsApp to make sure it was working. I also showed him a simple kitchen cabinet repair and he just did that too at no extra cost.

Service: Renovation work on a house in Portugal by Daniel Pereira
Daniel did renovation work on my house in Portugal. He worked alone, explained things well, gave ideas, and the finishes are very good. I gave him my keys and he took care of everything, protected things at home, works fast, very serious and professional. Prices were correct and I would contact him again and I highly recommend him.

Service: Applied a non-slip coating to shower floor
I hired someone to do a non-slip coating on my shower floor because I don't have full feeling in my feet and I needed to make sure I don't slip in my own shower. He and his partner were charming and respectful, told me exactly what was going to happen, waited for the first coat to dry, then came back about 20 minutes later to apply the second coat, and the whole thing was only like a two to two and a half hour exercise. It was a small area, he normally does hotels and places like that, and he gave me a good price eventually. I'm really impressed with it and I can walk into my shower with absolute confidence, and every day I appreciate it and think it was a good service and a good purchase.

Service: On-site assessment and quote for balcony waterproofing
La communication était très fluide. Il est venu le lendemain pour estimer le travail à faire pour le waterproofing de mon balcon, il est arrivé à l'heure et a donné une quote. Il m'a proposé d'effectuer le waterproofing de la manière la moins cher et voir ce que ça va donner au lieu de directement opter pour la solution la plus cher. Je recommande fortement ses services.

Service: Guided them around Lisbon and Cascais for relocation assistance
Angelo answered my post right away about moving to Portugal and was just delightful. When we came for a scouting trip, he met us at the airport, drove us around, showed us places in Lisbon and around Cascais, and was affable, flexible, very generous with his time, and really sensitive to our wants and needs. His English is fantastic - very colloquial - and he really knows the area and his stuff, which made the whole thing easy. He kept in touch throughout our visa process and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Initial Review
Service: Remodeled living spaces including bathroom and office area
I hired Sérgio twice to remodel my place - first he did the two rooms, corridor, living room and kitchen, and later he finished the bathroom and an area to make the office, so it ended up being the complete rest of the floor. I told him what I wanted, put it in his hands and trusted him, and everything was calm, with the dates we agreed being fulfilled. He and the team kept everything impeccable and safe, he clarified all doubts, communicated well, is very careful with materials and likes to serve for the best. He transmits confidence, is willing to return if something comes up, and I liked it a lot and recommend him.
