Bravo’s Handyman

Daniel L.

We hired Bravo's Handyman to install our dishwasher, which required destruction of the existing cabinet space, new electrical outlet, new plumbing connections, and dishwasher assembly. He was cheaper than other contractors we contacted, but I'm not sure we still got a fair rate (~$900 for labor + materials, ~7 hr job). Bravo was quick and responsive throughout the process. As for the level of quality, the job was mostly there, but I had multiple elements to review/fix. The dishwasher door seal was installed loosely and we were wondering why it was finicky when doing test runs, so I had to redo the assembly. One of the new plumbing tubes was loose and only started dripping after a while, so I had to reconnect that. The dishwasher was not centered due to screws left over from the previous installation that were pretty noticeable upon closer inspection, and I didn't want to have to reconnect everything, so I had to manually saw them off in a tight space. Around this time, I noticed the sink tub dripping water where the work happened, but that could've happened before and went unnoticed, so I will give the benefit of the doubt on this one. I can only hope the electrical work was wired properly, because that is behind the wall. I notified him about each issue, and he offered to come back to repair it, but no one wants to have to reschedule/redo work. At least the dishwasher turns on and runs properly now, so there's hope in that. With any home projects, you hope to get a contractor who approaches the work carefully and thoroughly, someone who measures twice and cuts once, so you can enjoy the use of the projects without worries. The last thing you want is that you need to redo work that you hired and paid someone else to do. We certainly did not get that kind of experience.

Bravo helped me with a door repair quickly and effectively when other vendors quoted long lead times and extremely expensive options. I highly recommend Crizan and Bravo's services to anyone.

Crizan just finished a long list of projects for us, big and small. Everything from outdoor tile installation to indoor cabinet repair and electrical. We are extremely pleased with the quality of his work, professionalism and also thought that his rate was very reasonable. Would recommend.

Crizan was timely and finished the job quickly. I only had him redo the caulking around my tub and toilet. It took him 30 minutes. He's a bit pricey and could have done a better job cleaning up, but for someone who physically couldn't do the job, it was fine.

It is unfortunate but I wanted to warn the rest out there. Crizan started off fantastic. The first handful of jobs were reasonably priced and the work was professional and timely. However the last time he came to install some motion sensors and I felt he was overcharging me. He didn't budge and I gave in. I just asked about painting one set of kids cubbies at my wifes After School and his price was 2-3X more than other handymans that I quoted on Yelp. I will not use Crizan again and cannot recommend him. He has lost his way.

Crizan came by to take a look at the broken-tile problem I was having, and gave a quote, scheduled the job for a few days later, and started looking for the replacement tiles. The reason I called him was for two stone tiles that were in a window surround by the shower; they had fallen off and broken. He showed up on the agreed upon day and did the job with no fuss. The finished result is very tight, so that it would be neraly impsosible to tell where the work was done.

Marc U.

Didn't show up at the agreed time to give an estimate for the job. Didn't answer the phone when I called. Didn't call me back until after the appointment. We agreed to meet the next day; he said he would give me a time... and then never did. No response the next day.

I understand that ""things happen"". That's when one should call and say ""sorry, I'm not going to make it; can we reschedule?""

This is a review that is overdue.

A few months back, Crizan helped me with installing a garbage disposal under sink, changing a GFCI power outlet, and installing a new shower head. He did a great job overall. The most impressive thing was that he constantly invited me to check out and test whenever he finished a part. In case there's anything pops up, he finished it to the perfection. He is really efficient, professional, responsible, and detail oriented.

Recently, I found the pipe under sink to the air vent was a bit leaking. I contacted him and he responded right away and set up a time to come check it out.

He is really someone you could trust.

I had a front door that needed to be fixed, and Bravo did a very good job repairing it. He also answers his phone, so you aren't dealing with an answering service. He is also very responsive and was at my house within half an hour of my contacting him. He correctly diagnosed the problem with the door, and proceeded to fix it promptly.

Great job! He installed the bathroom grab bars for my elderly mom to get in and out of the shower did a great job he also adjusted the French doors leading to my back yard which are always out of adjustment he also did a great job with that as well. He was prompted in his arrival very polite and most of all very reasonable in price. I will definitely use him again in the future.
