Handyman Services BGM, LLC

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Our A/C gave out last week and Ricardo was able to come out the same day I reached out to him to assess it. He was extremely knowledgeable and figured out what was wrong. He gave us our options, was honest about the realities of our older home's HVAC situation, and answered all of our questions. We decided to replace the A/C compressor, and Ricardo was able to come back within a couple days to do the install. He was efficient and now our home is back to sustaining cold temps. I cannot recommend Ricardo enough!!

I can't say enough good things about Ricardo and Handyman Services BGM! He recently replaced my entire HVAC system, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Ricardo was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process. He provided a fair estimate, which he thoroughly reviewed. He arrived on time on a snowy day and worked efficiently to complete the installation with precision and care. Not only did Ricardo ensure that everything was installed correctly, but he also went the extra mile to check that the system was running at peak performance. He cleaned up after the job and even gave me helpful maintenance tips to keep my new system running smoothly. If you're looking for a skilled and trustworthy handyman for HVAC work (including electrical and some plumbing), I highly recommend Ricardo. Five stars all the way!

Ricardo was very easy to work with when we wanted to install a new dishwasher in our small kitchen. We needed new wiring and some plumbing adjustments in addition to the cabinet work. He communicated clearly and kept his appointments very well and the whole experience was great. The work he did for us turned out excellent. We are very pleased. He is good.

My experience with Ricardo was absolutely wonderful. He was very responsive and professional - sending a same-day complete and detailed estimate even past midnight - gave us exact time slots, kept us on the loop of any changes, accommodated to our tight timeframe and finished the job at the said budget. Ricardo and Cesar had to fill a patch of our drywall ceiling and paint over it. They were meticulous in their work, mindful of our floor and furniture on a rainy day, and their finished product was near-perfect. We understood going in that partially painting the ceiling would leave it noticeable, but they managed to make the end-product look seamless. Luckily they had paint that matched very closely to ours, but it also helped that they didn’t give up until they found the right one. They offered that we follow up with them the next day when the paint dried, and covered up another stain that we hadn’t even noticed before. Plus they’re fun to talk to. We’ll definitely keep them in mind for our next project and would recommend them to others!

We own an apartment in a 1920s coop. This is Ricardo’s second project for us. First, in 2012, he refinished the floors. This time we asked him to fully renovate the kitchen—a complete gut job that, among other things, included knocking down a non-load bearing wall separating the kitchen and living room. We were thrilled that he accepted the project. Before he started the work, Ricardo met with us in person a couple of times. He asked tons of questions, listened attentively, and fully understood our vision—to fully modernize the space (plumbing, electric, new cabinets, etc.) while retaining as much 1920s character as possible. Ricardo takes great pride in his work, and throughout the project, he went above and beyond to help us execute our vision, and then some. He carefully removed, restored, and reinstalled the original baseboards; he found perfect 1920s-era cabinet hardware at a home improvement store store late one night; and he and he and Rosanna provided countless recommendations—on light fixtures, subway tiles, floor tiles, etc.—to retain as much character as possible Ricardo continuously explained the progress to date, the next steps, and the overall roadmap. Ricardo, Rosanna, and the entire crew left our house clean and tidy each night. They are genuinely kind, trustworthy, down-to-earth people—the kind of people you want in your house and the kind of people you want to be friends with—and were also really good with our dog and cat, both of whom were home during the project The before and after photos are almost unbelievable. It’s been several months, and we’re still blown away by the final product. Ricardo and his crew did an amazing job, right down to the tiniest details. We keep saying our new kitchen should be featured in a magazine, or something. We have recommended Ricardo to colleagues and other neighbors. And we can’t wait to ask Ricardo and his crew to do our bathroom, hopefully next year.
