REALLY!?! It’s Monday at 12:30! you don’t have anyone answering the phone on a Monday at 12:30? And on top of that I cant leave you a message?
How do you expect to stay in business???
I was not able to speak to this company let alone have them do any work for me. I cannot comment on their prices or work. For all I know they are fantastic.

this is long over due, but I am glad that I am finally taking the time to post this. Initially, this company was recommended to me by an electrician that was doing work on one of my houses. I had a plumbing problem, and they took care of it, then about 6 months later I had another plumbing problem with another home that I own, they came out, gave me an estimate, and I paid them for their services — unfortunately the work was not done correctly — I tried to get them to come back, the voice mail was FULL — and then after many tries I was able to speak to Wilfredo directly — he then told me he would be sending someone out — and they NEVER came — by then my tenant was out of hot water for almost a week ! — so I had to get someone else to finish/​fix the job. Its a shame that I will NEVER use them again, they make good «first impressions», but are not consistent, reachable, trustworty or timely — basically, they are just out to make sure they bill.
Also, just an FYI — the «owner» who is Wilfredo, and holds the contract license — I never saw him directly, but he sends other guys out to do the work — and sometimes they are not the most «legit» — so please don’t use them, find someone else — you would be better off. I know I will never use them, I own 3 homes, that need constant repair for this and that — he will definitely NOT be getting my business ever again, and I told him that the last time I spoke to him– (in fluent Spanish!).
Hope this is helpful to someone else.

I was very fortunate to find Wilfredo through Angie’s list. He was professional, did an excellent job on my condo repairs and finished the date he told me he would. I will highly recommend him to anyone that seeks painting, drywall and carpentry. Juan is also very good with electrical work. I couldn’t thank you and the crew enough for a job well done!

So far, I have to say that their work is top quality, and done in a reasonable time. They have done 3 projects for me from electrical installation, to door cut in and framing, and even removing carpet from my entry steps and restoring the wood treads and landings. They never left a mess. They worked around our busy schedule (including while we were at work), and responded to any questions. The prices are not bargain basement but neither is the work. We will call them again… in fact, I just did.

We hired them to remove a step in our driveway and paid them in full. They removed the step and told us they’d come back to patch the stucco, but never came. I called them to ask them to come and finish, they told me they’d come, but they never showed. After calling them again, their voicemail was full — I gave up and had someone else finish the job.
They also only bill in full hour increments, so we have a 30 minute credit with them, which is irritating since I don’t trust them to do any more work for us.

AWESOME… Need I say more? Of course, otherwise this will end up being a hidden review.
I needed an interior door installed yesterday. That’s what I get for procrastinating. There I was with a son that was coming home for winter break, and there wasn’t a door for his bedroom. I called NUMEROUS handymen in the morning, and I received very high prices since I wanted same day service. I called Wilfredo asking how soon he would be able to install an interior door, and he stated he would be able to do it the following day. He gave me a price for the following day, and I then asked if he would be able to do it today. He squeezed me into his schedule, and installed it in the evening! He did NOT charge me extra for same day service.
I am thankful that Wilfredo was nice enough to work in the evening just so that I would have the door installed before my son arrives. In fact, when he arrived I asked him if he could do a couple other things, and he went to home depot just to get those additional items.
They wore those booties on their shoes so that they wouldn’t trail in dirt from outdoors. They covered their working area. They also vacuumed afterwards! The workmanship was AWESOME!
I’ve asked Wilfredo to fit me into his schedule so that he could give me an estimate for a floor in my attic. By the time he left my house, it was too dark for him to take measurements of my attic.
It was truly a pleasure doing business with Wilfredo and Julio.

Wilfredo’s crew recently painted and refinished my old damaged kitchen cabinets, installed a new counter and sink. There were a few issues with the paint job on the kitchen walls, but they fixed it to my satisfaction after I brought it to their attention. The kitchen looks great and you really can’t beat their price. They’ve done other jobs around our house too (installed a stackable washer/​dryer, re-​routed cable through attic, fixed crawl-​space door) and in the end, I always wonder why I didn’t just call them sooner. Their work makes such a difference to a more functional and pleasing living space, and is so affordable.

Excellent service. I called with a semi-​emergency at 6 pm on Sunday and they were able to fix it first thing in the morning. I would highly recommend them.

Wilfredo has poor business ethics and no courtesy. He left our project unfinished, never called and simply didn’t give a damn. I used him because my brother was very pleased with the job Wilfredo did for him and can’t understand why the 180 degree. When I called Wilfredo to find out if he intended to finish the job, he said his mom had just passed away and sorry he hadn’t called and that he would send his workers the following week to finish and clean up the mess they left. That was the week of Thanksgiving 2011 it is now Dec 10^th and I’ve yet to hear from him.
It is sad to loose a loved one and that is a legitimate excuse for a delay on a project, but no call no show is just bad business!

Wilfredo promised to do a job for me and left me hanging for over a month. When I asked what happened, he said he was «busy». Not even a common courtesy call to let me know. Nothing.

Pros:
Upper middle skilled work
Reasonable prices
Cons:
Always seems too busy
Hard to get an estimate
Forgetful of appointments, 3 times already?

Wilfredo and his guys did some really good work on my garage (inside and out) paint, stucco, cement over. Then did some outside paint and brick work. They do a great job but only when they show up. so it has been a hit or a miss in my experience.

Left a message and no one returned my call. Oh well, moving on.

I hired Wilfredo to do a bunch of assorted small jobs around my condo (install faucets, painting and sealing, weather stripping, replace electrical outlet, install curtains, etc.). He was responsive; when he missed a call, he would return it promptly. He was on-​time and clean! I found him to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He was able to do everything I asked of him, in about the time he originally estimated it would take him. All the repairs he did were done with care and attention to detail. His minimum is a little high, so I wouldn’t hire him to do a single small job – I would wait until I had a couple projects. He’s definitely money well spent when you have at least a couple hours worth of work.

no, this is not the competition buddy, that I promise. I am a loyal Unilocal user and will not tolerate this type of poor business practice. We will not let you abuse the consumers.

Read the reviews and decided to give him a call. Was able to schedule a time and date to do an estimate. A hour passed after our appointed time and no show. I called and left a msg. After an hour later, Wilfredo calls back and said that he had over slept due to some ailment and that he will be there shortly. Upon his arrival we went down the laundry list of what I wanted done. After finishing, he told me that I would receive an estimate via my e-​mai in approx two days.
One week passes and still no estimate. I call several times and left msgs. No return calls. Another week passes and I call him several times and again left msgs. No return calls again. Called for the last time and Wilfredo finally answers. He said that he had sent it and promised to resend the bid. One week passes and still no bid. My e-​mail is working fine.
Can not give review for a job that would’ve easily been worth $ 10,000.00 since he didn’t send a bid nor did any job.
But I can give him zero stars for very poor customer service ie. not returning calls, makes promises that he doesn’t keep etc.
If he didn’t want to do the job then he should of said so and not wasted my time. I CANNOT RECOMMEND WILFREDO… he just might waste your time.

I found out about Will’s business on Unilocal,was a bit skeptical at first. Decided to give him a try. Will takes pride in his work. I had him tile both of my bathrooms. The tile work was good, but Will actually had his tile guy redo part of it, so now it’s perfect! Some of his pictures are from my bathroom, so you can be the judge.
I’m not his relative nor close friend, just an honest reviewer. I’m having some small work done by him again. So, expect my update.

We hired Wilfredo for another job b/​c he did so great the first time. He showed up five minutes early, got the job done quickly, cleaned up every speck of dirt where he worked (some of was there before he got there so I’m embarrassed) and then he was out before my in-​laws arrived for the 4^th of July weekend.
Another slam dunk for Wilfredo. I like him so much, I asked him to give me a quote for three other big projects I need to tackle later this year.
I’d prefer that you not call Wilfredo b/​c I’d like for him and his crew to stay and work on our house exclusively all year, but I guess we’ll share, haha.

This guy might very well be the most talented, reasonable, capable, excellent handyman in the whole of SGV…
…but i would never know, because no one showed up to the appointment i made to prove to me otherwise.

Willy has done work for my family and I on many occasions. His work is very professional and neat. He does amazing work and there is nothing he cannot fix. He has done everything from plumbing, electrical, painting, remodeling and all around handyman house work. We can count on him anytime. Thanks Willy!

These guys are AWESOME. Very professional, reliable and friendly and DO GREAT WORK. They painted my house and remodeled my my bathroom and I LOVE IT. So beautiful guys!!! I highly recommend them to anyone. As a matter of fact I recommend them to my parents.
Thank you
