Home Improvement 2000

Luigi is a professional. Gives a quote, and doesn't up charge like most handyman do. Came on time and finished the job. Will be using him again, and would highly recommend to anyone.

Horrible service. In all fairness, he did finally finish... kind of. Hired to install an electric radiator & thermostat. Twice (once in writing, once on the phone) agreed that I supplied the radiator & thermostat & he was to supply #12 electric wire, thermostat wire, breaker, wire nuts, etc. He came unprepared. Everything was an argument. Any problem was someone elses fault. He blames the supplier for what he purchases, me for his screw-ups, & anything or anyone for his ongoing multitudinous errors. Example, he purchased 3 breakers (individual runs to supplier) before he got the right one, he blames the supplier. His wiring “style” uses considerably more wire & supplies. He left wire loosely draped across the middle of the closet to the electric panel. He chose to leave a wire exposed & unprotected along the porch floor. This man is argumentative to the point of being nasty. The work should have taken 3 to 4 hours, & he also estimated that (we’ve had this work done before properly). The work finally took 9 hours. He tried charging us accordingly. We argued & refused that cost. He readily agreed to original labor estimate cost. Material costs already increased by 30% totally due to his errors. We now have additional expense having the work corrected. In short, I’ve hired many contractors before & never had such a poor experience.

Mr. Panarella did an excellent job on the "re"-remodeling of our master bath shower. Our first contractor was incompetent and gave us a shower that leaked with terrible looking tile and grouting job to say the least. Lungi came to the rescue. He gutted the shower down to the studs again and built us a beautifully tiled non leaking walk in shower. Throughout the project, Luigi proved to be a very hard working and a talented craftsman who I must say did an outstanding job. I highly recommend Mr. Panarella and we will be contacting him again in the near future for additional home improvement projects we want completed. He is a fair, honest, reliable person as well as a COMPETENT experienced craftsman.

He did a variety of jobs because I use him for bathroom remodeling, floor installations, and cabinet installation . I use him because he's honest, fair pricing and shows up.

He was a great person to chat about the project and made better suggestions for the deck than what we had before.. I will do more business with him.
