    Outstanding professionalism and true expert knowledge!

    I hired Fill the Gap to install a full-motion TV mount and coat racks, and the results are flawless. Everything is perfectly level and solid as a rock. He went well beyond basic installation, taking time to explain wall types, weight capacities, and making sure the exact right fixings were used. On top of that, he took a look at an unrelated electrical issue in my apartment out of pure goodwill and gave great advice. A total professional who takes real pride in his work. I’ll definitely be hiring him again!

    Excellent, professional service - TV mount & coat rack installed perfectly!

    I hired Salvatore to mount a full-motion TV bracket and install a coat rack on the wall, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He arrived on time, was polite, and took great care to ensure both items were mounted securely, perfectly level, and at the exact height I wanted. He kept everything clean and tidy throughout the job and was very efficient. Fantastic workmanship at a fair price—I would definitely recommend him and will be using his services again for future handyman jobs!

  1. My name is Salvatore , I have always been interested in tools and what makes things work. I started working in carpentry then I moved to mechanics and construction. But building was my passion ,as I enjoyed each stage starting with raw materials and seeing the end product. I then went on to do an electrical engineering course which sparked an interest and promoted me to pursue my career. i work with the clients at every stage to archive each project that I do.
