Introduction: There are tons of businesses in the home improvement sector, and people could probably be asking why they should opt to work with me. Well, here is why: First, I come with 7 years of solid experience in construction management and carpentry. Over the years, I have developed and polished a unique skill set that complements my intellectual curiosity and innate sense of creativity and inventiveness. I have been running a sole business for the past two years, after taking a brief break to spend the first year of my son's life with him. I am acutely aware that we all love our homes and wish to make them as comfortable, beautiful, and cozy as possible. That is why I am here, precisely. I am deeply passionate about helping all clients achieve the goal of making their spaces comfortable enough to enjoy spending every moment with their loved ones. I specialize in: Painting Framing Sheetrock Installation Taping Full gut renovation TV mounting Floor Installation Furniture assembly

Gerard was able to squeeze us in on short notice and then came back first thing the next day after he realized the manufacturer forgot to send a few parts to finish the job. He did a great job building our son’s bunk bed and two play tables. Will absolutely work with him again!

Gerardo was excellent. We needed the kitchen door removed to have a new refrigerator installed into the kitchen. He put the refrigerator together like a pro and replaced the kitchen door right away. He did everything expertly and quickly. He was confident and efficient. Nice person too.

Hired on Thumbtack

I had to reach out to someone at the very last minute because I had guests coming in from out of town and I had to put together an intricate piece of furniture that we had NO instructions for, and couldn't find online. Me, and my two contractors that were actually working on my house at the time couldn't figure it out in two days. When I called Uprise, I got an immediate response, he came the same day I called, and put together this piece of furniture in 20 minutes! Gerardo was the consumate professional, went above and beyond the scope of work, was extremely neat, and was beyond fair with pricing. I would not hesitate to hire him any for ANY project in my home, and would highly recommend!

Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Installation • Assembly • Kitchen • Windows • Lighting • Home
