After paying for a brand new kitchen to be installed at our house, my wife and I were excited to be nearing the end of a month-long renovation project. One of the last things for us to do was to plug in our shiny new range hood fan into the custom hood cover that been designed for it. Unfortunately we quickly discovered that the kitchen cabinet company had not considered the height of the fan unit properly, meaning that our pre-existing duct vent hole was now approximately 8-10 inches too low for us to be able to install the new fan! What made the situation even worse was that we had just installed a quartz backsplash and I was worried that the vibrations from drilling a new duct hole would end up cracking the new backsplash. I posted a request for help on HomeStars and received a response from Luca at MGC Contracting within a few minutes. I explained the situation and said that even though I knew this was a relatively small job, it was something that would be required to save my marriage after living without a functional kitchen for over a month! Luca made time to come over the next day and take a look at the space in person so that we could discuss potential options. We ended up agreeing to move forward with cutting a new hole, as he promised that he could do it without risking any damage to the backsplash. He explained that he was already busy on another project but he made an exception and offered up some of his personal time so that we could get our kitchen up and running as soon as possible. Luca arrived on time on the day we had agreed to, and performed all the work efficiently and neatly. He and his crew member were very considerate and careful, and even went out of their way to make sure that the patch job they did to brick up our old duct hole was done in a way that you can barely see where they did their work. At the end of the day, I paid him what wed already agreed in advance with no hesitation as he had done a terrific job. Overall, I had a great experience working with Luca and his team and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy general contractor for any work around the house. Ive already let him know to expect a call soon for some retiling work that we have been putting off because we didnt have a good contractor to work with before. Thanks Luca, and thanks HomeStars for connecting us in the first place!

We had a problem with a leak under our kitchen sink. I posted a request for help on HomeStars and received a message back from Rob within a minute, even though it was late in the evening on Family Day. He asked straightforward questions and was very up-front and honest about what the likely costs and timing would be. He was unfortunately not able to come out immediately but was flexible and made an exception to cone to our house super early before his first scheduled appointment so that we could resolve the issue ASAP without creating any further problems or damage. He arrived when he promised he would, he completed the work in less time than wed originally estimated and charged exactly what wed agreed on in advance. On top of that, the work he did was excellent quality and he even did some additional work within the same price to avoid potential issues in the future. Overall, Robs a really great person, and Im very happy to have found him. Im happy to refer him and his services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable plumber, and already anticipate asking him to help out with a bathroom remodel were planning on the next couple of months!
