OK, I mentioned a real gem in another thread, here are the details.
His name is Gabriel, lives in Del Viso (40 km North of BA) but he can work in Capital too (will need to charge for the driving + parking too in that case).
He hardly speaks English but will be patient if you don't speak well Spanish.
His cell number: Gabriel at 155 748 8126
His home number: 02320-473 931
I've had my share of people working badly, showing up late, not having good tools, being incompetent, etc.
This guy has impressed me:
- He can work as a plomero, electricista, albanil, etc.
- He has premium tools (good sign...)
- He shows up on time
- He's smart (he used to own an inmobiliaria & appartments but got bankrupt with the 2002 crisis)
- He works professionally
Here is what he did in my house:
The transparent piece of polycarbonat had flown away due to a storm. I waited too long before replacing them and the piece of wood got infected by a mushroom = he replaced that part and it fits perfectly! That was a tricky job of course but he got the right approach.
This room was rrruinnneeeddddd because the terrace above was not properly sealed (no membrana) and the water would remain for a few days after a rain.
He did the albanil job + painted, it's like new now:
He also put varnish on the wooden curtain... But first he took the whole mechanism out to make a perfect job.
