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. I called on The Meticulous Handyman and one of his team members came out and reattached the sink to the counter saving me probably hundreds of dollars. Apparently this is a common problem! He was also friendly, very meticulous and just did a great job (no problems since then). I would recommend this business to anyone!

I reached out to Mauricio to help with getting a smart door lock installed with my double entry…read moredoor with a custom mortise door lock handle that would've cost me as much to replace with the same type of handle and lock as getting the smart lock added with his help. Mauricio helped me to add a new deadbolt opening into the exact right spot, had all the right tools for the job, and made sure to take the exact measurements needed to make sure my new smart door lock fit and worked perfectly. I needed someone exactly like Mauricio who takes his craft like art and does the job right the first time. One mistake and I'd be looking at doing a new double entry door replacement that would've cost at least a couple thousand more. I'm definitely glad I reached out to Mauricio for this type of job and would recommend him for any custom wood project.

I recently hired Mauricio to help me with several projects around my home including hanging outdoor…read morelights with some electrical work. He replaced a kitchen faucet, garage light, under cabinet range hood and I couldn't be happier with the results! He was extremely professional, punctual, and clearly skilled at what he does. Everything was done safely, efficiently, and with a great attention to detail. He communicated clearly throughout the process, made sure I understood what was being done and even offered helpful suggestions along the way. It's so hard to find someone reliable these days but he absolutely delivered. My home looks great. Everything works perfectly, and the whole experience was stress-free. If you're looking for a talented and trustworthy handyman, I highly recommend build Serrano Handyman. I'll definitely be calling him again for future projects.

Our second-story elevated deck needed a major repair. When we spoke to a few other companies, they all said that we needed a full rebuild. But not Dan. He assessed the work carefully, examined the drawings, and said he could do the repair. He was fair and transparent with the cost and clear about the scope of work. When the job began, Dan and his team, Ksen and Chris, were thoughtful and efficient with their approach. They made lots of progress quickly, and explained each step in detail. Dan really went above and beyond helping me navigate the inspection process. We wanted to make a few changes from the original drawings that required a revision. Dan worked with our architect, handled the inspectors, and helped get our deck approved and permitted. He was careful and detailed, communicated well throughout the whole process, and the work was top tier. I highly recommend Craftsman Decks. Elite work, trustworthy and reliable, fair and transparent, and will go the extra mile. Give them all the stars!

I had many items to tick off including installation of a very log shade on a huge window up about 9-10 feet, multiple light bulbs even higher up, outside flood lights 2 stories up, as well as a fascia repair under our back sliding door (incl priming & painting), and lastly fixing a fairly large dry wall patch in the garage ceiling. Marvin knocked off each of the projects professionally w quality work. He came out a few days earlier to see what needed to be done so he could give me a reasoned quote instead of other site unseen quotes I got from unsolicited handymen on Yelp. I would highly recommend Marvin as not only is he professional doing quality work he is also a very personable guy & that is important as well when you have a contractor in your home. A pleasure doing business with him & I will be working with him in the future.

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 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 hired him to repair and refinish woodwork in our home after a previous vendor left us with a number of problems, and he has been exactly the person we needed. He is incredibly knowledgeable about wood, finishes, restoration, and the right products to use. His work is absolutely beautiful. He is extremely detail oriented, takes real pride in his craftsmanship, and you can tell that he genuinely loves what he does. He does not just rush through a job. He takes the time to make sure everything is done correctly and looks the way it should. If you have any type of woodwork in your home, Wilson should be your go to guy. And if you have had a problem like we did and need someone to come in and fix work that was not done properly, he is absolutely the person I would trust to do it. His knowledge and skill are on another level. Just as importantly, Wilson is a genuinely kind, honest, trustworthy person. He is friendly, patient, helpful, and wonderful to work with. We feel completely comfortable having him in our home and really appreciate how much he cares about his clients and the quality of the finished product. We are so grateful we found him and very much appreciate everything he has done for us. I would recommend Wilson without hesitation for any wood refinishing, restoration, repair, or specialty woodwork. Five stars does not feel like enough.

I previously hired a different company to stain/finish my new exterior door. Unfortunately, the…read morepolyurethane finish that they applied started to deteriorate after a few months. Rather than having them refinish the door, I called Wilson Willkom Wood Refinishing. Wilson noted that my door has an extremely thin veneer so he could not use a solvent stripper. Instead, Wilson patiently and meticulously sanded off the old finish without affecting the veneer. Then after multiple trips to my house, Wilson applied a total of 7 coats of varnish giving my door a vibrant new look. I greatly appreciate Wilson's workmanship and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an expert wood refinisher.
