Pascal is very dedicated to his work, delivers high quality craftsmanship, and is very easy to work with. He knows what quality looks like, but also wants to make a piece that you'll be happy with. I highly recommend him.

I'm glad I went with them because they ended up doing a fantastic job - everyone was extremely professional/communicative and the entire team was on time every day for the week they worked on the project. I highly recommend Eli and his team for custom built-ins! We think it turned out amazing and are excited to add more books to our library!

I love Jim the Handyman!…read more They have done several projects for us - from a big job of replacing a door to small things like fixing a shutter. All the projects were done well, for a super affordable price and everyone who comes to the house is so nice. Today my handyman even helped me bring my trashcans back up to the house and did a small favor for me for free. We will definitely call them again for the next project!

We were extremely impressed with the level of care and craftsmanship, and we will absolutely be requesting them again for future projects we have planned. Highly recommend Jim the Handyman, especially the team of Mauricio and Andres!

The job was a challenge because they had to hoist the three-door, assembled frame up to my second-floor deck. They safely prepared all the decking in drop cloths to prevent any damage to the frame or the deck. They expertly removed the old frame and installed the new one with flashing tape and a door pan to avoid any moisture or mold. They filled in the door gaps with insulation foam, trim, and caulking, and painted all the trim nail holes. They are extremely neat, organized, and very efficient. They cleaned up the entire area and vacuumed. They disposed of all the old material, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their expert craftsmanship. I highly recommend Zoabdile, the owner of Finish Carpenter, for any carpentry project, including windows, doors, etc. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient, explaining all the minute details of the project, and has all the latest tools to make the project a professional one. I was very satisfied from beginning to end with Finish Carpentry and highly recommend them.

Bob is wonderful for occasional handyman services of all kinds and his specialty woodworking…read moreprojects. My mother had him replace the old footboard of her bed and he did a great job matching everything and produced a seamless final product. I have had him assemble complex furniture, cut down the height of my sideboard, hang a ceiling lamp, etc. He is always precise- leveling the furniture after assembly for instance- and careful with dropcloths etc. Not to mention easy to work with and great at communicating technical issues and options (such as how to best hide wall lamp cords depending on my apartment's limitations on drilling too many holes in the walls). Rates are reasonable too! I have used his services for years now and would highly recommend him to a friend.

Shlomo was patient and offered his input as we figured out what design and materials we wanted. His team was able to move an outlet, build and install the shelving and cabinets, and mount the TV. We are very happy with how it turned out! Just a note that they specialize in custom work and keep a busy calendar so it may take some months from start to finish. Our project took even longer due to holidays and other work being done at our house. The price was higher than other companies we got quotes from due to the custom work but we felt it was well worth the quality!

From the moment we reached out, Shlomo was prompt, responsive, and understanding of first-time homeowners on their first project. Shlomo came to our house and walked through with me the two concepts I had in mind. He asked key questions that helped better shape the ideas, took the necessary measurements, then followed up in short order with a clear proposal and quote. The pricing was competitive and within our budget. Once we decided to move forward, the team delivered on the carpentry faster than we expected. Max and the team who did the carpentry were friendly and understanding of two tired parents who had to work in the house through the day. The work they performed was impeccable. The final product? 1) Built-in bookshelves with a table-height counter and drawers below: a showstopper and the new centerpiece of our living room; and 2) a ceiling-high pantry cabinet in our kitchen, attached to a new counter with a built-in garbage/recycling drawer. We are thrilled with the quality of these pieces, which have truly made our new home our own. If you are looking for cabinetry work in the DC-area, we unequivocally recommend you go with "As It Should Be." They will do great work for you.
