About The only firm foundation

Hi, I’m Quirino. I’m a one-person, hands-on pro who treats your home with the same care I give my own. I listen closely to what you need, communicate clearly about the work and pricing, and pay attention to the small details—including a thorough cleanup when the job is done. I’m fully equipped with a wide range of tools and a 16-foot trailer for hauling materials and debris, so I can handle everything from repairs and assembly to general home projects. My goal is simple: do quality work, follow through on what I promise, and earn your trust on every job. I speak English and Spanish, and I’m here to help you get your home projects done the right way. Reach out with your project details, and let’s get started.

Quirino did an amazing job with putting our furniture together. There were a few pieces with intricate details and he took his time to make sure everything was right. We will definitely use him again!

I hired Quirino to remove a sink and vanity in one of our upstairs bathrooms. He was quick to respond and provide a quote on the same day. What was planned to be a one day job was made a bit more challenging by a couple factors, one of which was the fact the new vanity did not sit flush on the floor and there was no tile placed under the first cabinet. It was an oversight on my part. Quirino was positive and flexible and explained a few different options as well as the estimated cost and timeline for completion for each option. I was pleased with his responsiveness, problem solving, and his communication throughout the process. The quality of his work was good and his fees were fair. I recommend him and would consider hiring him again in the future.

Quirino finished about 25 percent of the work and also installed my fan without connecting it correctly so now my bedroom has no light. He spent about 7 hours doing 2 tasks that should’ve been done in about 2 hours. Now I have a bedroom with only an entertainment center assembled and a ceiling fan that don’t work. He didn’t do my dresser drawer and only did half of a night stand. Would definitely not recommend.

Quirino was here right on time and went straight to work. It was a small project, a kitty condo, but he made quick work of it and it's perfect.

We really liked him. He was nice, and I genuinely felt he tried his best, which makes this disappointing. But he arrived late and didn't read the microwave instructions, causing delays. I had to step in to ensure the fan was inverted, and the microwave still isn't properly secured with the cabinet (screw/bracket). He used the existing brackets instead of the new ones. When I shared feedback later when I noticed, he blamed me for rushing him, but I didn't. I moved our family plans and would ask him, are we good? I also wasn't informed that reconsidering the railing would affect pricing. I told him the day prior that I needed to think about it. The difference wasn't a lot, but on principal I didn't like the change. He eventually honored the original quote but used tape instead of wall material to cover a hole. He offered to return but couldn't provide a day's notice, making scheduling difficult. Overall, I appreciated his efforts but was disappointed and he did leave me some new washers.

Let me tell you how great this guy is - he came all the way from far away to install my drapes. I had the wrong hardware. He was so gracious and professional. I will have him back when I correct my mistake. He will do a great job.

Q was professional and communicative before, during, and after the job. I would highly recommend him!

Did a thorough job of fixing the dishwasher harness to the kitchen cabinet which was flimsy to begin with.

I contacted The Only Firm Foundation around 10pm on a Friday night with an urgent request and he showed up the next day around 12pm to assemble a Rogue Abram machine and bench press. He finished the job and managed to help me with a side-task in just a couple of hours, even while we held a conversation. His ability to multi-task is impressive. If I wasn’t there to distract him, he would probably operate at the speed of light. He is well aware of his capabilities and has high attention to detail. I would recommend this handyman and also use him for future projects.
