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.

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.

He has an amazing work ethic and is so tidy! His attention to detail is top notch as well. My favorite part of my deck is my new bar counter. I knew I wanted it but had no idea how to make it happen.

From Day 1, working with Dan and Craftsman Decks was truly a great experience. Dan is responsive,…read morepractical, and an expert when it comes to all things decks. 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.

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.

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.

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.
