We just moved into our first house and wanted a closet in one room split into two so the adjoining…read moreroom would have space as well. Steve came out to take a look, and suggested pocket doors ("just an idea!"), and we were very happy with the end result. Along with that work, we threw some things on his plate that we didn't anticipate (like having him patch holes in walls made by electricians running wires, and solving a tricky problem with mounting ceiling fans on tongue-and-groove), and Steve made sure to get everything done on time, even with a tight schedule due to painting. I was around most of the time doing smaller house projects, and I watched him bust his butt those days, and he even came by on July 4 and the weekends to do the more quiet work to ensure it would all be done on time. Along with this, his rate is extremely competitive, he was full of great tips for things I was working on, and would let me borrow a power tool or two that I didn't have when needed. I had a great experience working with Steve, and will be sure to use him again for future projects.

We continue to use Steve for all of our special projects, especially our carpentry projects. Most…read morerecently, he quickly created a redwood Privacy Screen in our backyard (see photos). His attention to detail is levels above what an everyday craftsman would do. All of the detailed features in this privacy screen are his own creative contribution. Also, some time ago, Steve created a storage cabinet for us in the garage (see photos). This was his creation to take care of our storage needs. Steve is not only creative, he cares about the project, offers suggestions, is reliable, and is well worth more than he charges. We continue to give him the highest recommendations.

In a nutshell, working with Jitendra exceeded our expectations on several levels. The bookshelves…read morethat he designed, built, and installed really add much-needed warmth and life to our living room! BACKGROUND: We wanted bookshelves installed above a built-in cabinet unit in our living room. I sent Jitendra a sketch and described what we wanted. From my chicken-scratch sketch, he created a design and mock-up, then measured our space. While measuring, he flagged all existing flaws in the space (uneven/slanted walls) so that we were aware of all inconsistencies upfront. He has amazing attention to detail! RESULTS: We were simply blown away by how well he was able to match the custom shelves to our existing unit; all of the wood looks like it was manufactured at the same time! It truly looks like it was all constructed as one piece from the very beginning, which is exactly what we wanted. In addition, we really appreciate that he took initiative to incorporate crown molding/extra detail on the top of the shelving unit. This is something that I would never have thought to do. WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE HIM: There's good reason why the word "artisan" is in the name of this business. He goes above and beyond on quality, service, and workmanship, AND he's very personable, patient, and kind. I HIGHLY recommend working with Jitendra and his crew; worth every penny!

He made this crazy project of curved barn doors for us and he really put his heart into it, he paid attention to all the details. The result was beautiful. Each and every contractor coming in our house (and we had many) are amazed by his work. We got in touch with Jitendra a long while after our project was finished for other advice and he provided his professional advice without hesitation. He is one of those contractors that you can trust without the need to be worried that things might go wrong. Jitandra is an expert at his craft, kind and down to earth, and we appreciated so much working with him.

A rite of passage for new homeowners is to deal with a major repair. Less than a year after moving in, heavy rains led to water from outside making its way inside without invitation. Noticing some damaged wood that was likely to blame, we called on Nelson to help. Of the various contractors we solicited for quotes, Nelson was the most through and punctual. And throughout, Nelson and team were reliable, communicative and provided expert work for a job which started as a "minor" siding repair but expanded (to our dismay) in scope as increasing amounts of rotting, structural wood from the previous owner was uncovered. Although it was disconcerting to see how much damage we would need to address, Nelson was sympathetic and assured us that it would be straightforward to fix and advised on a couple of different approaches, which we agreed to. His team arrived on time every day and worked around weather conditions to perform carpentry, waterproofing, and offered continuous updates. We also hired Nelson's team to paint afterwards, and are very happy with the results. By the end we started dreaming about other projects or repairs we could accomplish and started getting his feedback on those as well! One thing we learned is that it's necessary to make sure the discussions are thoroughly documented-we had a couple of misunderstandings about what was included or not after verbal discussions, which we either resolved through the contract, or realized after the fact that it was something discussed but never written down so we let it go. But making the agreement itself was a breeze, and Nelson is good humored, flexible and was easy to work with at all of the stages of the process. We would certainly work with him on future repairs.

We first worked with The Meticulous Handyman in 2023 when they made our yard safe for our new…read morepuppy. They did a great job! Our house is about 120 years old, so there's always something that needs fixing or replacing. So far they've helped us with replacing lights, exhaust fans, door handles, and locks. When we found the fence at the back of our yard was rotting away, and the dog was looking to explore our neighbors' yards, Meticulous tore down and replaced the fence in a day, so the dog couldn't go exploring at night. They're our go-to service. Costs are fair and explained clearly at the start. No surprises. And everyone who's worked in our house has been friendly and professional!

He was also friendly, very meticulous and just did a great job (no problems since then). I would recommend this business to anyone!

We received bids from three highly rated contractors, and Daniel's combination of price, experience, and professionalism made him the clear choice that we're very glad we made. The craftsmanship was exceptional across every aspect of the project--from the tile work and plumbing to the electrical and glass installation. The team worked efficiently, stayed on schedule, and delivered beautiful results at a very competitive price. If you're looking for a contractor who combines quality workmanship, speed, and value (& is just a great guy) I enthusiastically recommend Daniel Lugo Construction.

Cougar worked with us cooperatively and after some further investigation, he came up with a new solution that necessitated working with our roofing contractor, who he worked with closely. The solution was to create a new external drain that turned out to be a great permanent fix. Cougar was very cooperative, proactive, and flexible as the project evolved. His workmanship is excellent and he and his crew worked very hard and skillfully. They coordinated scheduling with the roofing company so the work could be completed before an upcoming atmospheric river rain event. The entire job went off seamlessly. I would eagerly refer him to others and use his services again in the future!
