Pavon Renovation & Handyman Service

Francisco’s team remodeled my guest bathroom. The work quality, attention to detail, and responsiveness were outstanding. I couldn’t be happier with the results. This is my 3^rd bathroom remodel so am quite familiar with the talent and desired outcome. The biggest challenge is simply finding quality staff with high integrity. Francisco is one of the most honest, skilled and effective builders I’ve encountered. You immediately sense there is no pretension and he is quietly confident. He continuously kept me appraised of all work status. He constantly advised me on the proper course of action and the costs of the available alternatives. I’ve done enough construction work to be dangerous and have a feel for his recommendations.. His recommendations were spot on. I trust him completely. I’ll use his team on all future work.

This review is long overdue. We moved into our house before any of the window and door trim or baseboards were installed, and needed a carpenter to help get the job done. I contacted several people and Francisco was by far the most responsive, professional and cost-​competitive. He brought over samples to allow us to choose a custom design and purchased all the material for the job. Then the crew came in and knocked out the whole house in a couple of days, while carefully working around our furniture and cleaning up after themselves. The trim looks amazing. My husband and I both work in construction and have a discerning eye but I couldn’t find a single spot that isn’t perfect. They mitered all the corners, made custom cuts where we had funky angles, and caulked everything to finish it off. We loved it so much we brought him back to build a custom cabinet and shelves to cover an eyesore corner of the house. It turned out fantastic of course.
I know Francisco also does tile, framing and pretty much any construction project you could think of. We will definitely hire him again for any future house projects!

I would highly recommend Francisco! He does quality work at very reasonable prices and he is a genuinely very nice person so it was a pleasure to work with him.
We initially hired Francisco to do handyman-​type work: installing closet doors, medicine cabinets, interior and exterior lights, cat doors, etc. and he did a great job.
We then learned that Francisco is actually a skilled carpenter, so we hired him to do extensive woodwork throughout the whole house (archway casings, window casings, crown moulding, etc., all with a lot of detail), which turned out beautifully. He paid close attention to the little details I wanted and sought my feedback at every step. I am quite picky and he was very patient with me.
We liked the finished product on the woodwork so much that we hired him to install an additional window in the house (including re-​framing, adding insulation, etc.) and add casing on the exterior side of the windows and door. It all looks great!
Francisco and his crew did all of this work in record time and worked with me to finish on my very tight time frame and tight budget. He typically works on evenings and weekends, but he is such a hard worker that he fit it all in somehow (he worked late and came early when necessary to get it done, which I really appreciated).
And I agree with the other posters about how nice Francisco is. He immediately gained my trust and I had no problem leaving a key for him to come in to do work. He is genuine and honest and I always felt like he was doing the right thing. We would definitely hire Francisco again.

I interviewed 4 contractors/​handymen for my bathroom remodel– Francisco was the only one to show up on time and who seemed genuinely honest. I hired Francisco to remodel my fairly large sized master bathroom… and, I needed to get it done in 2 – 3 weeks. Francisco was consistently on time, the bathroom turned out beautiful, his pricing was fair and reasonable, and he actually finished when he said he would (first time EVER in my experience with contractors). He even drove me all the way down to San Jose to pick up tile! He works with an equally conscientious and talented granite fabricator (who rightfully so, takes great pride in his work), a kind plumber, and glass cutter/​shower door installer who was able to also deliver on time (despite the rush). Overall I was quite pleased.
The only thing I feel I should mention… don’t let him throw away any old parts until you are SURE the new ones fit (better yet, have his plumber check all the new fixtures before anything is tossed). We ran into a glitch with shower handles not fitting the shower stems and this was one area where I felt his customer service skills could have used some polishing (but, I think this is a guy thing where men can’t own up to an oversight/​mistake– sorry, guys). However, after many phone calls, I was able to finally locate the correct parts and he sent out his plumber who installed them promptly.
Aside from the shower handle incident, I am happy with the work completed by Francisco and his team and would hire him again (and, refer him to a friend).

I met Francisco via Unilocal about six months ago. He’s done a bunch of odd jobs for me over that time, and always done a great job. Not only is he on time, shows up when he says he will, but he’s also super-​honest. A couple of times when he could have charged a lot of money to fix a bad appliance, he’s advised me to save the money on trying to fix it and just replace it. Also, he is a really really nice guy. How nice, you might ask? So nice that I constantly expect to see little birds and woodland animals landing on his shoulders and breaking out into song. Oh, and maybe volunteering to help him out with the handyman work. While singing. THAT is how nice he is.

When I moved into my new condo, my real estate agent gave me Francisco Pavon when I asked for a handyman recommendation. Francisco knows it all and does an excellent job. He has:
— hung glass doors in my bath
— Installed new electrical fixtures
— replaced fixtures in my tub and vanities
— removed a badly created built in
He is on time. He calls if he is running late. He and his team clean up after themselves. He is meticulous in his attention to detail. Great person! Work with him!
