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.

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!

I had gotten several estimates/quotes from other plumbing companies who all told me I'd need to replace the ENTIRE thing.

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

We hired Ogee to re-face our kitchen cabinetry on our new build home. We bought the home with new…read moreIKEA cabinetry and wanted to upgrade to a natural and heavier duty material. We significantly upgraded (see photos) working with Ogee. Since the cabinetry was brand new, we came up with a design plan to re-use the boxes and re-face all of the surfaces (drawers, doors, side and back panels). Jasper showed up to measure each detail of the boxes so that everything would fit exactly. He did a phenomenal job of planning out how the White Oak grain would run seamlessly on all of the drawers running across in synchronicity. This was an attention to detail I would not have thought of but that made an enormous difference in how high-end it would give the final look. He also included us in all of the details, like how we wanted the hidden "handles" to be worked into the surface of the Oak doors, or a finishing detail like where to place the handles on all of the drawers. He didn't just make that guess for us and he participated in the decision making with some excellent suggestions and guidance. This ensured that we were going to adore the finished outcome, which we do. Truly making it our dream kitchen. Jasper really listened and worked closely with us, he showed that he really cared about the project and wanted it to have a lasting impact for our days to come in this home. We loved Ogee's work so much, we also had Jasper come in and do custom White Oak built in shelves in a bedroom and laundry closet, and he re-worked an existing standing shelf for the office. We really couldn't have had a better experience! We moved into our house mid-July. Jasper came in by end of July and had our entire kitchen and the shelving done within 4 days. He worked tirelessly and with a funny and upbeat attitude. A true pleasure to be around. He was careful and attentive to the project throughout. Working with Ogee was above our expectations and we highly recommend. Working with any kind of home contractor can be scary, but not with Ogee!

We didn't get past the preliminary phase. Even scheduling the Zoom was a bit rocky -- Andrew…read moreproposed times to meet and then didn't respond in time to confirm, which set the tone. During the call itself, a surprising amount of time was spent venting about a previous client who had changed their mind about their layour. I was also mansplained the IKEA manufacturing process (I was very clear I'm looking for custom cabinetry) which felt unnecessary and off-topic. The rough sketches I provided worked for other cabinetmakers to generate bids, but Andrew repeatedly insisted that Ogee would require additional professional drawings before providing any estimate. That's fine if it's their policy -- but the way it was communicated felt dismissive. A large chunk of the call was spent watching him try to locate photos of a past project while he was screen sharing. After several minutes of this, I asked if we could just refocus on the conversation. Overall, the interaction felt scattered and oddly adversarial for what should have been a straightforward information-gathering session.

Just as importantly, he completed the work on time and on budget. Because we wanted to preserve the kitchen's vintage appearance as much as possible, Robert refinished the cabinet and drawer faces, adding new drawer slides and pull-out trays that make them much easier to use. He also built a new range hood enclosure and work area that match the existing kitchen cabinetry. For the closets, he created built-in drawers and adjustable shelves that are both practical and attractive. From the outset Robert listened closely to our priorities, provided options, and suggested clever solutions. He is organized, tidy, and coordinated well with other contractors who were working on the site. Highly recommended!

Scott, you made my dreams for the fireplace nook cabinets come true!…read more I'd been thinking and dreaming about fireplace nook cabinets for several years. My SF house has traditional styling with crown moldings and wood floors so the modern glass media cart my husband bought to house our AV equipment just never looked right to me. I already had a good idea of what I wanted, cabinets and a floating shelf above, painted to match the existing trim (I knew the exact color from an earlier paint job). I found Scott's business on Yelp and looked at his web site. Photos of his previous projects were very helpful as I could see the cabinet styles were a good match to my vision. At our first meeting, Scott made helpful suggestions for the styling of the doors and shelf edges, then emailed me preliminary 3D drawings a couple days later. The drawers on the right side cabinet have automatic soft close slides which are oh-so-cool. I wanted sliding doors so we could open them while using our AV system, for better dissipation of heat and no need for IR repeaters. Scott installed grommets (painted to match) for running cables out of the front of the cabinets to the pair of speakers that flank the fireplace. Cutouts and grommets were installed in interior shelves for cable management. I've included some photos on this Yelp page. I am extremely pleased with the quality of workmanship and professionalism of Scott and his team for my project. I highly recommend his services.

Scott and his team did the demolition work on the existing closet space extremely quickly and efficiently, and came up with clever ways to save us from having to re-do the hardwood floor around the closet.

We have highly recommended Scott to our friends, and would work with him again in a heartbeat!
