For years, I have been searching for a finish carpenter who could support our home projects with…read moreattention to detail while delivering a fairly priced high-quality end product in a timely manner. I designed and ordered components for living room built-ins online, but once they arrived, my usual contractor said he wouldn't be able to support the job anymore. I'm so thankful I found Roberto to support the project instead. He was incredibly responsive, quick to start and finish, and checked in extensively along the way to ensure my vision and preferences were taken into account. This was not an easy project, but he and his team made the best of all the challenges we met. At one point we realized the wrong replacement cabinet had been shipped to me. A new one was going to take 2-3 weeks!! Instead of pushing off the job to a later date he suggested solutions and retrofitted the replacement cabinet flawlessly to ensure we could finish the job the same week he started. He started Monday and finished Wednesday ahead of his original projection of Friday!! He arrived on time every morning and was very thoughtful about preparing for the next day ahead of time so that he could optimize his time onsite. He has a wealth of experience he brings to his work and he truly does it with care, forethought, integrity, style, and intelligence. All that aside, he also happens to be a kind, compassionate human who is a pleasure to work with! I'm very much looking forward to working with him again soon on other home projects! thank you Roberto and team!

Roberto is salt of the earth, a good man who is a master at his craft. He was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and from there he was incredibly responsive, informative, professional, and trust worthy. I enjoyed working with Roberto so very much and the work he did in our house was transformational. I couldn't be happier with our new doors and baseboards. Craftsmanship was top tier. No cutting corners, in fact, went the extra mile to do things RIGHT. Which I find is quite rare. I am trying to think of more projects so I can work with Roberto again.

This is my very first Yelp review, and I truly felt this business deserved an excellent one. All…read morethe positive reviews you see are absolutely accurate. Professionalism: The team at Your Carpenter Friend was professional, meticulous, and clean, and they did an excellent job repairing dry rot around our home. They were so good that we've already recommended them to a couple of friends, and I hope they get the opportunity to work with them as well. Licensed: Yes Pricing: Pricing was reasonable and on par with other vendors we considered. Recommendation: Yes--100% recommend them. We plan to hire them again next year for additional work in the spring/summer, and I'll be happy to update this review then. Skill: They are truly skilled carpenters (Brendan, Zach, and Sam), which feels rare these days. While I don't do woodworking myself, I can certainly recognize and appreciate quality craftsmanship. In several areas, Zach and Sam came up with creative solutions to ensure water would not sit on the wood. They also discovered additional dry rot during the project and always consulted with us and obtained approval before proceeding. They worked non-stop--even in the cold! Work: I initially contacted Brendan for a mix of handyman work along with exterior dry rot repairs. He was honest and upfront about what could realistically be done during the dry season, so we decided to focus solely on the dry rot repairs. As it turned out, Brendan is a former termite inspector--perfect for anyone needing dry rot repair. They worked at our home for 3 days. There was one small area that wasn't painted on one side; once we brought it to his attention, Brendan came back the very next day to fix it. Their goal is clearly to make the customer happy, within reason. BTW -- he also does decks. Thank you, Brendan & Team!

Brendan came out to assess the project and provided a fair and detailed estimate within two days. He answered my questions clearly and honestly, and didn't try to upsell me on other potential work that I didn't ask for. Once I accepted his estimate, he scheduled the job in a very timely manner. He and his guys completed the job on schedule and on budget, which sadly seems like a rarity these days. I greatly appreciate Brendan's communication style and professionalism, as well as the high quality of the work he performed. I am planning another home exterior project next spring and would not hesitate to use this company for the carpentry work.

In each case, he assessed the projects, then followed up with a timely, detailed written estimate. Work started on schedule and was completed when promised, Mariano is a sort of jack-of-all trades. The first project was the swinging doors. Because he was so meticulous, they look like they have been in place all along. They are also the reason that he was hired to do three more projects, each one to the same high standard and quality of work that I expected after the expectations he set in first project. His finishing details are superb. I'm sure you will find his work, his work ethic, and the quality of his work to meet the same high standards as I discovered.

We visited many big box stores, European design stores, small time cabinet makers prior to deciding on V&I and we are SO GLAD we did that!

Over the years, I've been very happy with all of the work he has provided. The cabinetry Frank made for me is in different styles and wood for different homes.
