About
My reputation is more important to me than money. I’m a man of my word, and do everything to the best of my abilities. I’m not satisfied unless my customer is 100 percent happy with the job that was requested. I TIG weld a variety of materials and enjoy doing creative jobs. I worked as a helicopter mechanic for many years and am mechanically inclined. Also very handy with home remodeling as I’m currently remodeling my own home. Last I’m honest, trustworthy, and punctual.

He was very on time and worked very quickly and did a fantastic job with slicing and hanging two lights in our room as well as another job and I will definitely be hiring him again for other work in our home. (before lights were the black ones after are the gold.)

Cris did a fantastic job helping us replace ceiling fans with light fixtures. It was a seamless experience from booking to completion. The fixtures look great. Excellent work!
He was very responsive, punctual, profesional and did an excellent job installing our chandelier. I would definitely recommend and will be keeping in touch for future projects. Thank you so much! I love my chandelier!
I can not say enough positive things about Sixbravo . Honest, great work and after installation of my sun-setter he showed me how to work the remote and hand crank .

This was a very easy process from start to finish. SB was on time, worked through fixing several light fixtures quickly, and my dog liked him.

I have an A&P license and have been working as a helicopter mechanic for 20 years. I also have always enjoyed working with my hands and creating, building and fabricating all sorts of things over the years.
