Throughout the planning process, José took his time to understand what we're looking for and came up with a game plan to coordinate with our builder to save the doors.

Great work!

He takes the time to explain the details so we can make the best decision for our home and to ensure there is no confusion. We are also very particular about our home and he listened to any feedback we had and adjusted to ensure we were comfortable, as this was our first project with him. He was prompt and on time every day, and he ensured he left our house clean before leaving for the day. Roberto genuinely cares and wants to give his clients the best result possible. We had a small leak in our laundry room that damaged a baseboard (unrelated to the project we were doing with him), but he took the time to look at it and provide his feedback on what we can do once we fix the leak so we don't have to remove the entire baseboard. I would highly recommend Roberto and we will definitely call him again for our next project.

I requested a quote through Yelp and Roberto responded quickly. I sent photos of the wainscoting I…read morewanted in my front entry and closet shelves. Roberto visited with samples and we agreed on pricing and material. He was able to incorporate some wood and paint I had on hand. He and his team worked carefully. He accommodated non- flat walls, patched holes seamlessly, and painted expertly. I'm super happy how everything turned out. I hope work with Roberto and team again!

We had wood rot on our exterior siding and fascia, and Brendan was very thorough in assessing the damage and explaining exactly what needed to be done.

We really appreciated how professionally he handled the situation. The quality of his work is excellent--you can't even tell where the repairs were made! He truly treats your home as if it were his own. He also went above and beyond by giving us helpful home maintenance tips that weren't even related to the siding 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.
