Recently, I hired Marion of Field Solutions to install a new flatscreen TV in my apartment. It was a complicated gig because he had to remove our old one and I didn’t have all the small screws needed to install the new one properly. But he worked diligently, professionally and with a smile on his face. He really knows his digital stuff and was able to help me set up the TV properly — ie, not just the mechanical work of putting up the TV, but the digital setup, too. I’d hire him again — I will hire him again. And am pleased to recommend him.

AVOIDAVOIDAVOID! I used him once(despite several reviews he was a flake). I live in Miami and NYC, and used him in NYC. The first time… He was late, but he kept me up to date. He was a nice guy, but it took him 5 hours to assemble a bed that I was told would take 1−2hrs. If it took a little longer than estimated, then I would understand. But after the 2nd experience I think he was just stretching out the clock to screw me. The second time… I asked for help moving furniture. We traded emails for several days and he confirmed 24 hours ahead. He also asked me to call to «confirm again». I did call that night(and email) about arriving at 9am the next morning(which we already confirmed twice). He never returned that call, and didn’t answer his phone or return any emails the next day. As a result, I had a moving van that I paid $ 350 for, and NOMOVERS! He totally screwed me. IF he shows up, you will get average work. That is IF he decides to show up. IF he doesn’t show up, you will be out of luck and he will never respond to you. Why not just use someone else who will actually show up? Ps. Note he also operates under«Marlon Williams» or «M. Williams», so avoid him no matter what new name he makes up. If the guy is named Marlon Williams. avoid him!

I’ve had Marlon Williams install three flat screen televisions in three separate apartments, and each time has been an absolute pleasure working with him. He is extremely honest, trustworthy and extremely polite. He does a fantastic job installing the television and has even done side projects for free while he is there. I would HIGHLY recommend him and plan to use him again in the future. A +

My experience with Marlon Williams(Field Solutions/City Servants) was much like Dan W’s. He committed to a time to move and install a large window-unit AC for me and then never appeared with one vague message, no explanation, no apology. After 2+ hours waiting with no response I finally just moved and installed the AC myself. The takeaway here is that #1 you get what you pay for and #2 if you need help moving/installing a large AC unit, pay a little more and call Air Conditioner Installation By Vlad. I haven’t used them personally, but 355-star reviews probably means they are pretty good.

I contacted Marlon through facebook. All I needed was an air conditioner taken out of one window and put in the other room. Said he could come by at 9 pm. Got a text at 9 pm asking if 10:30 was too late as he was still at someone else’s place. I said 10:30 was fine. Got a text at 10:45 pm saying he can still come by or do it tomorrow. He told me no appointments tomorrow. Tomorrow came, he text me saying he hadn’t gotten any sleep and if 3 – 4 pm today was good. I replied that 3 – 4 was good and to get some sleep. 3 – 4 came and went… no Marlon. 4:30 there’s a buzz at my door. Less than a minute after I buzz him know one is there. I found someone only $ 5.00 more THESAMEDAY to do Marlon’s job. When I went downstairs I found Marlon’s card saying that we can reschedule for 10 tonight. If he was at my front door; why didn’t he call me? I sent a few texts, e-mails, and even phone calls. No response. If you want to waste your time, these are the people to go with.

i needed some help installing an a/c unit and putting up bookshelves for me in my apartment. i went on craigslist and was lucky enough to have chosen marlon for the job. not only did he do an outstanding job with both tasks, he was kind, polite and very easy to work with. he’s very accessible through email and phone. i will no doubt enlist marlon to help me next time around and will definitely recommend him to my friends!
