The job was difficult. I asked to fit posts on very old bricks and these were falling apart when trying to drill. Marcelo was amazing and found an elegant solution. It took longer that expected due to the issue encountered but the job was done at very high standard and looks exactly how I wanted.

Yes I was very pleased with the handyman's work he did for me and he had all the professional tools with him which impressed me. I would definitely have him again if he was available. I'm thrilled the shelf went up easily and that he tested the wall first for hidden pipes and cables, that's what I was worried about.
