Best Furniture Assembly in Fort Worth TX
Plumbing Service
We've been homeowners for a little over a month now but have already had our fair share of experience working with trustworthy and genuine contractors and unfortunately, those who are unreliable and will say anything to make a quick buck. Miguel and his team are definitely part of that first category of contractors! He took our dilapidated deck from zero to hero. The deck on this house is probably 10-15 years old, had several broken, cracked, or lifting boards in various places and desperately needed some attention before we could put any furniture out there.
Rather than demolish the entire thing and start from scratch (too expensive right now), we sought quotes for repair. Miguel offered the fairest price (he essentially quoted the same as his competitors, but ended up providing more intensive solutions than what his competitors were offering).
He replaced the boards, ended up needing to replace almost the entire railing (he did have to re-quote us for additional parts halfway through, but he did not charge for extra labor, just the cost of extra materials), added a much-needed trim to prevent further damage over time from the existing boards, power-washed, and painted.
I asked for extra reinforcement in various places and extra attention to detail in areas where I felt older boards still had rough/sharp edges and he took care of these minor details without charging an extra penny.
A demolition project and starting over with this deck could have cost nearly $10K. We only desired to extend the life of this deck for at least 4-5 years (which I am confident we did), and spent approx. $2300. I'd say it was well worth it.
Not to mention, it's such a relief finding some like Miguel who is so personable and easy to work that I now know who I need to reach out to for other household repairs/renovations in the future. I appreciate his transparency, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile to make us happy. See before and after photos to see for yourself.

UDATE INCLUDED Below! DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY! DO NOT PAY HIM IN ADVANCE!! I have to take him to court to get my money back for services he failed to provide.
!!UPDATE! HIS RESPONSE IS AGAIN MORE LIES. I have all the texts and phone call records To prove it. He has 1 5 star review. I did not say anything to him as he left. He makes up anything he wants and pretends it's truth. RUN from this unscrupulous person. Yeah I dropped a couple f bombs in some of my responses because he frustrates you beyond reason with lies. He owes me $160 before court costs. I offered a $100 settlement and he refused. He wants to give me just $25! I would give negative stars, if I could.
I have never had to write a review like this. You can see my posts and usually, if someone misleads a little, I let it go.
Once he has your money, he will figure out a way to get close to $100/hour. He will fabricate fees that he never mentions when you enter a contract with him and chargEd you for parts he recycles from other jobs and claim he bought them for you.
He has yet to provide me any reciept for a light switch that was not In a package. He also asked if he could have my brand new ceiling fans, he took down.
He was so great when I called him because I had someone else not show up and I had painters coming the next day. He said his work is phenomenal and he normally charged $85/hour BUT if I pay him $500 for 8 hours IN ADVANCE, I get deal. IT IS NO DEAL!
He came 1st day and was absolutely great for 1.5hours and I gave him his check, for services in advance.
I was flustered and rushed to get him out and get more things done before I needed to get more done before painters came the next morning. HE LOVES to kill time with chattiThat's not good when you're paying by the hour!
He also wants you to give him buildings codes and access to your place without you there. This is so he can then pad his bill.. He complained about not being able to be there by himself on two counts.
He is the poster boy for bait and switch!
I wrote an incorrect hour time on my check. I called and texted him the next morning and he confirmed I have 8 hours for $500. I also have that in writing.
He also confirmed he would come at scheduled time we agreed upon for Friday, OCt. 7th at 4:30pm and I didn't contact him Again until he contacted me that Friday. He called before our scheduled time and asked if I'm back in town? I said, umm I told you I had an appointment here in Dallas that would take me to about 4pm so 4:30pm is still the time. He launched into a whole thing about the fact he is at another job and he will be late and wanted to push out the time scheduled a week in advance. I said no, not acceptable To move to another day. I have other contractors coming that need your things done and I need them done personally as well. He finally shows up 2.5 hours late. He was clearly irritated about this.
He also left for 20 minutes, to get something from his truck as I was on the phone with my fiancé the whole time and was opening the door to find him and he comes up the stairs with yet another fabricated story about being locked out. He had his phone and could text or call for the code to glass doors he so easily forgot
Had he showed up at our agreed scheduled time, he could have completed everything and our contract could have been satisfied that night. He brings out this unpackaged almond dimmer light switch and I say, what is this? He says, it matches your other outlets... umm NO it does not?! All bathroom covers outlets are white???
We exchanged words, I left him to just get the job done and had to have his mismatched switch installed to make sure the light works.
He was done at 11:03 pm and started 7:05pm,confirmed in text,)& completed 4 hours of work. I texted next day and thanked him for installing my light. He completed 5.5 hours of total work At this point.
He texts me I only have 1.5 out of 2.5 hours left!?!? I say, 7-11 is 4 hours. He responds correct but, I went shopping and you owe me $65 for supplies and 1 hour to shop.
I said no way. You already stated you do not charge for ANY trips to Home Depot.As a handyman he is there frequently and can pick up things for multiple clients on his trips. It's not my problem you procrastinated, nor do I owe a penny for a almond fixture. He is welcome to get it! He proceeded to argue with me, make up false excuses, and then tell me to just take a $25 refund for 2.5 hours of work. Of course I said NO!
He continues to change his story-change times-alter things said and I have two witnesses that directly contradict what he says. His texts, I also have photographed, and printed his texts that contradict each other. He is a liar and a scammer. DO NOT TRUST HIM OR GIVE HIM A PENNY IN ADVANCE.
If you want him for a quick job you pay AFTER he is done, 1st time great.pay in advance, he is HORRIBLE and ARGUMENTATIVE And will 100% lie
