J & A Handyman

Jose Aranda is a crook! Do not you hire him for any construction project for your home! Do not make the same mistake I made. He is dishonest and will lie to you in your face. He was recommended to me by a friend, and little did I know what a nightmare my remodeling project has become. First of all, he promised 3 weeks to finish everything. But every week I went to the house to check, there was no progress. I had to nag him weeks after weeks to show me some progress. Every time I see him, he would ask me for more money to buy materials even though not much progress was made. The whole project took over 4 months, and when the day comes for me to inspect the house, it was the day that a series of events started. I regret paying him the full amount that day because what it costed me to fix his errors were more than I could have anticipated. He also gave me the speech that no house will be perfect after the remodel, and that I will notice little things and asked me to keep a list so he will come back on another day to fix it. Well. he never came back and never returned my calls. I must have called him over 100 times over 3 months period. And he has either blocked my number or just refused to pick up when he sees my number. We started noticing alot of things wrong with the house. At first it was a big clog in the main line that required 3K to fix. The plumber pulled out clothes that contractors use to wipe floor. My biggest regret was asking him to repipe the house. We saw leaks everywhere, under the bathroom sink, under the kitchen sink. Then we started noticing molds near the floor, so there are probably leaks inside the walls. The pipes weren’t secured inside the walls so it always make noises whenever we turn on the sink. We also noticed that the thousand dollar granite top that I paid full price for was split and cracked in several places. After a 80K remodel, I felt like I am starting from scratch at a fixer upper. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. DO NOT HIRE HIM. THIS GUY IS A CROOK!
