Ask for Raymundo Aguilar

A lot lower

Yes

Outstanding. Raymundo is honest, reliable and takes the time to do the job right. When we first contracted him, I went with a gut feeling about him and other referrals I had read on Angie's List. He just seemed to be a good, decent family man. He didn't let us down. He replaced all the rotting wood on our porch, windows and doors and refinished all the woodwork in our home. He is a very good carpenter. He also reglazed all our windows and repainted all the white trim on our house. Angie's List gave him a grade of "A" in all areas. He goes beyond our expectations. We continue to call on him for projects in our home.

Raymundo speaks English, but sometimes needs help in his communication. We often had his son translate to make sure our expectations were clear.
