Gianfranco has been incredible throughout the entire process. We needed a dishwasher installed and he was professional, detail oriented and experienced. Would definitely work with him again.
Thanks Megan from The Handyman Services.

Our garage door came crashing down and we couldn't open it. Gianfranco came and replaced the spring, wheels and opener, he did a great job. We highly recommend The Handyman Services.
Thanks from The Handyman Services

Gave me an estimate then charged more. Mistakes on the estimate he said. We were clear on the terms but I paid it anyway.
He retrofitted the 6" duct to a 4". This is not to code and he told me it had to be done because of the way the beams in the attic landed. I went up there to check it out and there's no such obstruction. He did all that because he wanted to use up 4" ducts and roof vents he already had.
The I noticed some garbage fall off the roof. When I went up and checked, the roof vent was not installed correctly at all. I had to call and pay a roofer to do it properly. Turns out the duct had fallen off since it wasn't taped properly. We were exhausting into the roof...
As for the range hood, it was installed using random screws that weren't enough to support the hood. He only used an anchor on one of them. The straight duct leading into the attic wasn't supported at all and leaned on its side.
He left a mess when he left.
I messaged him about this issue and asked for a refund. He said he'd be back to work with me in fixing my issues. No thanks buddy. He offered half of the cost of me hiring the roofer. 250 bucks.
But stay away from his service. He's not equipped to do this work and I should have just paid more and got a pro to do it.
In regards to his response below. The roof ducts and vent were completely installed incorrectly. I had to hire a roofer to repair that asap before it rained again. He never addressed the fact that he used 4 inch ducts on a kitchen range that's designed for 6 inch. The range makes a loud noise and will never vent properly. I have no choice but to get it redone which I haven't done yet. Why would anyone let a sloppy, unprofessional amateur back in to fix the very thing they couldn't do right to begin with. What a terrible experience. You have no measure of professionalism or decency Gianfranco.
Hi Marc,
I'm sorry you felt that I didnt do a good job. The screw that were put into the range hood to hold went into a stud and the other was a toggle clamp. I was willing to refund you all the money if you given me a chance to see your concerns. You messaged me after you had another pro come by, instead of notifying me and showing what was the issue was. We just don't give refunds without showing us the issue. I would like to rectify the issue, please call me so we can come to an argeement.

We recently hired Mr. Gianfranco Lucente to repair our deck.
He and his website claimed to be able to professionally complete the repairs.
He initially quoted us 700 dollars for the repair including the cost of the deck planks (he was supposed to purchase and replace 11 deck planks).
He instead purchased only 8 planks and refused to show us the invoice for the cost. He demanded payment of 300 dollars cash immediately for the planks without wanting to show us the invoice.
He proceeded to install 4-5 planks on the deck, all uneven, some with large gaps. He wasted a few pieces of the planks because he kept cutting the wood incorrectly. When we confronted him about his poor workmanship, he became upset and did not want to fix the issues or complete the project.
Of course we were angry at GianFranco as his poor workmanship has now made our deck unsafe and a serious trip hazard and we are seniors and do not want to risk falling and getting hurt on our deck!
We called GianFranco and emailed him several times about this issue always promising to return to fix things or to return our $300, as long as we did not post a negative review about his work.
Despite his many promises GianFranco never returned to complete the project or to refund the money he took from us.
All we wanted was for the work to be done in a professional matter.
Be Warned: DO NOT TRUST this handy man!
