Hired on Thumbtack

My husband and I hired Geno to hang a complicated, heavy, large art piece above our stairwell. He was very quick to respond, extremely reasonably priced, honest and very professional. Geno was able to complete the project the same day. They took their time and took extreme pride in making sure the piece was hung at the right height and level. We could not be more pleased with how the project turned out! Geno and his son were on time and very pleasant to work with. My husband and I highly recommend him for any projects you may have. We will be using him again and have already given his number to several friends/family for their upcoming projects. This is the man for your project!!! Jennifer & Chris San Antonio, TX

Geno reattached a gate that had come off at my rental property. The gate appeared to be bent up and I was concerned that I would have to buy a new one at an additional expense. Geno straightened the gate and reattached it and it looks great. His price was fair and he communicates what would be done and how much it would cost before he started the job. I would hire Geno again. Update Jan 2017: This is an update to my original review, which I left above. I hired Geno several times for much larger jobs after he did a good job repairing my gate. I live out of state and sent Geno progress payments when he told me that part of the work had been completed. Two tasks that I hired him to do were replacing two windows and part of the exterior siding on a rental property. We could not find the siding to match and I did not want to replace all of it because only about 25% needed to be replaced. Geno told me that he could route cedar planks to match the existing siding, but his router was too old for the job. I offered to buy him a new router because the cost of the router plus his cost was still less than replacing all of the siding. That's when the trouble started as there was one delay after another with the window installation, and that had to be done before the siding. I had already paid him to route the wood because he told me he was finished, and including other progress payments for other tasks, I had already paid him more than the work that he said he finished. That's why I was hesitant to fire him and find someone else to finish the job. However, he dragged his feet for so long on the windows that I finally decided to cut my losses because I was losing rent while waiting for him to finish. The final nail in the coffin is when my real estate agent went by the house and told me that the grass needed to be cut. Really? I just paid Geno 2 days before that and clearly he did not cut the grass but told me that he did. I fired him and that's when I found out that he had only routed 25% of the wood that he said he finished completely. I paid him a progress payment based on his telling me that he had finished and he outright lied to me. So I was out the cost of the router which he didn't even use to complete my job, the labor to route the wood that he lied about, and other money that I expended for labor that he didn't do. I tried to settle with him for a fraction of what he actually owes me, and he said that he sent me a check. I never got it and then he said it must have gotten lost in the mail. Despite the fact that the USPS doesn't lose mail very often, he could have stopped payment on the check and sent me a new one. This guy has one lie after another. If you can watch over him every minute he might be a good worker, but if you can't I would not trust him one iota. It looks like I'm going to have to sue Geno in small claims court to recover the money that he owes me.

Geno was great to work with. He was very accommodating and willing to work after normal working hours to get the job done. Geno is very respectful & professional, and has the knowledge and skills to perform any work around your house or property. I plan on using his services in the future.
