O'Ryan Lopez & Chin Inc

In 1990 when I first moved to the South End, several neighbors referred me to Mario Melendez of OLC. For twenty years through 2010 when I moved out of the South End, Mario was my go-to for everything. He rejuvenated creaky old windows, installed hardwood flooring, repaired damage from a fire and a leak, updated an old bathroom with new fixtures and finishes, painted the entire condo and cleverly figured out sensible solutions to numerous challenges that ranged from the routine to an emergency. As a first time homeowner I am forever grateful for Mario’s friendly professionalism, his decades of expertise in multiple trades, his excellent communication skills and his positive attitude, not to mention the handy convenience of OLC’s South End location. With Mario I knew that I had a reliable,

Mario is the best! He hung a tv wall mount, a heavy mirror and a large painting for me today as well as installing a smoke detector, cordless shades, and curtain rods. He works really clean and approaches things in a smart way, plus he’s a really kind, funny, and pleasant man. He’s been in the business for over 30 years! I highly recommend him!

One of our toilets was backed up and would not drains. We tried everything we could: plunger draino, snake, etc. Finally gave up and called Mario. He was here the next day and solved the problem within 15 minutes! We have use this company since 2003 and have always been very happy with them. From little jobs like this one to replacing a 100+ year old cracked iron drain stack pipe. They are extremely reliable, reply within hours and show up on time. Work is of highest quality.

Mario is a great handyman. He is very smart. He knows how to fix most things that can go wrong in running a house, and he knows what he doesn't know. He will get help when he needs it and supervise subcontractors.

Used this excellent service for a wide variety of projects. Always good communication, first rate work, friendly and efficient. Honest advice. A truly valuable resource!
