About
I am a bilingual U.S. Military Veteran with over 63 years of work/life experience. I have been a successful small business owner and a Construction Manager during that time. I’m a part-time Commercial Electrician Journeyman and a full-time small engine repairman. I do some light residential electrical work and ON-SITE/AT YOUR HOME lawn mower repairs/maintenance the remainder of the time. I have been doing electrical work and small engine repair for the past 15 years. All my electrical experience has been with a licensed electrician. I have all the latest and best diagnostic equipment and tools to troubleshoot and/or fix just about any electrical and/or most small engine issues. NO JOB IS TOO SMALL, I cannot stress that enough and I do not charge like the big companies would for the same job in order to cover their excessively larger overheads. I offer exceptional work at an extremely fair/affordable price and I won’t take on a job that I can’t complete in a timely and professional manner. I pay the closest attention to detail. And in all honesty, If I can’t complete the job to a customer’s satisfaction I don’t charge them. My single most important goal is customer satisfaction. I will treat and work on your home and yard machine with the same love and respect I show to my own home and equipment. If you are not 100% satisfied with my work, then you won’t have to pay. Isn’t that what everyone is hoping for in an honest handyman and small engine technician?? I hope I can be YOUR GUY!

My Guy Gil is definitely my Guy Gil moving forward. I contacted Gil to work on 3 different mowers including commercial zero turn and 2 riding mowers. Each had different issues which Gil identified, ordered the correct parts to replace, installed them and got each mower going good as new. Gil communicated promptly with me anytime I contacted him. I will definitely be calling on Gil for any and all of my future needs concerning handyman/ lawn equipment maintenance/ repair. Gil had me use each machine before he even put up his tools up to make sure that they operated properly and that I was completely satisfied with the work done. Folks… that’s very rare these days.No I’m not any kind of to Gil, just a super happy customer that could do nothing but smile once Gil finished up knowing things were taken care of and my mowers are back to good.

Gil was awesome, very knowledgeable and made the repairs to my John Deere D140 riding mower , he replaced the 2 front tires, replaced the steering assembly, transmission drive belt and deck belt and the tractor is like new. I will be calling Gil for all of my repair needs from here on out , you will be pleased with the service and the price is very fair for the quality work that he does.

Gil was very quick to respond to our request for his services and also communicated before he came so he had proper supplies to service our lawnmower. He was extremely thorough and even provided education for us for proper maintenance. Finished the job with a thorough cleaning of the mower.
I would definitely recommend him for lawnmower repairs/tuneup and understand he also does other handyman jobs.

Gil came out and diagnosed the problem with my mower (bad carburetor). I got the carburetor the next morning and he came out that afternoon and installed it. Gil also gave me some good tips to help extend the life of my mower.

I didn't actually hire Gil. He contacted me about my issue and provided me alternate solutions. He stated the mower should not have broken that quickly (2nd use). In the end, I took his advice and returned the mower to place of purchase as I within the 30 day period. I then purchased a better mower based on his recommendation. I'm happy with that purchase. If I ever need work done on it, I will call Gil as I feel I can trust him not to just sell me parts or services I do not need.
