    BEWARE!! These guys don't complete their work. Empty promises and poor work. This is what $500 gets you for concrete work. The cheap material is clearly breaking away. Mario was always too busy on another job to complete the work he promised he would finish. A few months later and several phone calls with no respIf I would have know I could have done a better job myself. I got cheated! Review Update: The response is laughable! I'm not sure who the 'we' is in your response. The only person I've ever spoken to is Mario. He said he could fix it no problem! He promised to come back and was a no show 3 times!!! He just didn't make time to come back to complete the work because he already received full payment...plain and simple!

    We hired Mario and his hard-working crew to do a major interior facelift in our new home, including new flooring and paint throughout. Though working under a tight timeline AND in a pandemic, Mario and crew were super responsive, flexible, reliable, professional, and efficient. Mario NEVER complains, not even when materials arrive late or are difficult to source, and he goes the extra mile to ensure the job is done to high standards. We could not be happier with the work done to our home. Thank you, Mario, Erik and crew!

    I needed some junk removal this afternoon and went to the Newark Home Depot parking lot. I found two trucks side by side-- one was labeled "Brothers Handyman Demolition", phone number 510-695-6728. The other was "Alpha Handyman Demolition Construction and More", phone number 510-838-1584. They looked at the pile and we agreed on $800 cash. When they loaded everything up, they demanded $900. If I didn't pay, they threatened to dump everything back on the driveway. I paid, but I wouldn't do business with these guys again. Mario was the guy's name, and he knew very well we had agreed on $800, and strong-armed me anyway. Just watch yourself and if you must do business with these guys, get the quote in writing.

    Good installation on door!

    Erick is responsive, courteous, and punctual. He would follow up by phone call or text messages to confirm he is on his way from other city to repair my laundry door. Erick is very nice to make the schedule fit to my busy schedule...he came to my place around 8:40pm At first he quoted $100-$130 for the installation but then my door has a broken part on the bottom so he and his assistant drove to nearby Home Depot around 8:50pm to shop for the replacement part. $60-$75 extra on top of the initial price because my door bottom had a big hole that required the professional to repair. They are diligent and professional and willing to explain to me why it needs to be charged extra and how they will repair it. Erick and his assistant were nice not to charge me for the part. At the end I paid them extra to include tips. I had a first person quoted me for $300 for the same job. Another contractor quoted for $125 for hardware replacement only but then never respond to my message for scheduling. Compared to those two, Erick is responsive and reliable.

    They installed my patio door today and i was very satisfied with their work. They were quick to respond, arrived on time,removed the old door and installed new door. They were very professional and cleaned up before they left. Amazing!!

    WOW! I am truly amazed at the hustle and work flow of these brothers! I own a bakery and just purchased a new double stacked oven. The oven would not not fit through our rear entrance because of all the special gas plumbing that it has. I needed the door frame removed so that it would fit. I did not want the oven to stay out over night so I called the Brothers & boy did they come through! I asked for a quote on yelp at 6:30pm got a reply by 7:15, they showed up at 7:45. Got the door frame off at 8:45 pushed the oven around the block and thought the door. The oven was in place at 9:15. Door frame and door locked and good to go by 9:35. This was truly amazing to watch and I've never felt more satisfied with anyone's service as I have with theirs. Their prices are very fair, but they definitely went above and beyond. All I wanted was the door frame off so I could push it in, but they just took it into their own hands and got the whole job done! I recommend them for commercial work and will be telling everyone about them.

    Today, I called Mario to Install Over the Range Microwave, and he came with his brother Rafe, and both did an excellent job.

    Your Carpenter Friend

    (76 reviews)

    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.
