Lisbon, Oct 2026
I had three jobs done, installing a fan in our living room, changing an intercom, and changing a light on the balcony. For the fan, we did not have the cables where we wanted to install it, so they had to draw cables and so on. It was not David himself but one of his employees, and it was super, super well done, spotless. It was a bit more expensive than other crews, but the service was really good.

Gael was just here last week doing a few chores for me, replacing a board on the bottom of a wall that had come out from humidity and some construction next to me, and also fixing a ceiling light. They were not terribly difficult chores, but he did it very quickly and had a nice attitude. I would give him a positive recommendation. Overall it was a very good experience.

I had a great experience. He was right on time, communicated well, and worked independently assembling my IKEA standing desks, office chairs, and dining chairs. Everything was done properly and he was friendly, easy-going and professional throughout, I would definitely recommend him.
