I contacted Chris to help install an over-the-range microwave in an old kitchen with a lot of mounting, ventilation, and construction challenges. He called back promptly and provided a detailed, insightful plan based on the photos I sent him. We set up an appointment for just a couple days later. When he and Jaime arrived and inspected the space in person Chris suggested an alternate, less labor-intensive approach based on information I had overlooked. Excellent! Throughout the work, Chris was friendly, communicative, and happy to explain exactly what he was doing and why. There were various obstacles along the way which were purely old-building issues and the labor did run over the estimate in the quote. That being said, his work was absolutely top-notch. He solved difficult problems in clever ways and clearly took pride in doing things right. The microwave before this one had been installed by Abt (supposedly so service-oriented) and that job wasn't even close to the quality of work that Chris did.
My only reservation is that there were some significant punctuality problems. Chris and Jaime arrived 45 minutes late the first day and a be-right-back trip to Home Depot (10 minutes away) stretched almost an hour and a half, which led to the job needing another day. The second day they arrived almost two hours late due to car trouble (verified - they left the car running in front of my house for 4 hours b/c of battery problems). Not all of this was under their control and it wasn't a huge deal for me personally since I was off of work. But if I had to take off work or rearrange child care for a half day job that stretched into two full days... that's frustrating. Still, I'd give 4.5 stars if Yelp would let me. Chris did a very fine job and clearly cares about his work. I'll gladly reach out to him again and update my rating if the issues on this job were an anomaly.

Had an appointment for Saturday. Gino completely forgot about it. When I called, it appeared he had double booked as well. What a waste of time.
