I purchased a home that had been rented for 20 years straight. So many things are just worn out. I made a list and started calling handymen that were recommended by friends/clients, etc. First two worked by the hour ($50) and they showed up alone to do things like replace a front door and side door, knock down a pony wall, and more. But $2600 later, I felt everything was just too slow. Then I read on Yelp about Silver Desert. They gave me quotes for the labor on replacing a support post on my patio pergola and repairing / refurbishing the gate on my redwood fence. Materials are a separate charge. First project three people showed up and got it done that day! Second, two people (and always Rudolph with them) and they were done again within a few hours. Rudolph works with them and keeps the client informed. Everyone is very polite and they clean up after themselves. They knew I was going out of town soon, so they squeezed me in between other projects. With that in mind I understood when they couldn't make it exactly on time, but Rudolph always calls/texts to let you know if they are running late. The work is very good too. I paid what they quoted plus materials. Very happy with the work and the speed. Will definitely be using them again!
