Walter is a true CRAFTSMAN, not just some guy who works for a chain who wants to convince you to…read morebuy their product. We did a reface of our cabinets and Walter was the right guy to do it! Walter worked with us to pick the right product and colors. We went with Shinnoki real wood veneer panels. They are beautiful and durable. Once they got the veneer up, they routed then hand-filed all of the openings. Then that meticulously painted the face frames to match the veneer. They even painted around the drawers where you can see very little of the painting they did. That shows a lot of pride! Walter also gave us the look of frameless cabinets even though we would have had to replace the cabinet boxes in order to make them frameless. That's a lot of extra work. We got a custom job for less than the price of a non-custom job. In the photos you can see the detail I'm talking about. I've included before and after pictures. The before pictures are all dark, ugly drawers and doors. The after pictures are the modern, two-tone look. In one photo in which I have a drawer pulled out with hot pads in it, Walter designed that and made it fit. There was not a drawer in there before because it's under the stove and the gas line was in the way. But Walter moved it. Walter's very conscientious and not afraid to tell you if he thinks something is not going to look good. He'll do whatever you want, but we learned that he knows what he's talking about.

Walter came to fix pull out shelves on a corner KraftMaid cabinet unit in our kitchen. He was very…read morefriendly and knowledgeable. He identified the issue quickly and highlighted the lazy workmanship from our kitchen installers (Taranto Construction, Inc in Claremont, CA) who were subcontracted through Lowe's (who we purchased our kitchen from). The shelves collapsed because of loose screws from lazy installers at Taranto Construction, Inc. It's infuriating to have to pay someone to come solve an issue that goes back to completely loose screws in the hardware that would've taken an extra 5 seconds to properly tighten at the initial install. But they know people won't see it, so they cut corners. DO NOT EVER USE TARANTO CONSTRUCTION INC in Claremont CA for a kitchen install, or any Lowe's in the surrounding area, as this is who they refer the work to. After spending a short amount of time with Walter, it's clear he knows what he is doing and is a professional. He even tightened and adjusted other cabinet doors in our kitchen he noticed issues with that had nothing to do with the cabinet shelves he came to fix. He was a very nice guy and I was glad I called him. Thank you very much.

Paul did a beautiful job on our custom maple wainscoting and bar work at Bohemia. This was not a…read morebasic install. The project involved a lot of layout decisions, uneven floor conditions, outlet coordination, panel proportions, cap details, and making sure everything would work both visually and practically in a commercial space. Paul was thoughtful throughout the process and clearly knows finish carpentry. What I appreciated most was that he did not just rush through it. He took the time to think through the details, explain options, and flag things that could affect the final result before cutting into the material. He was especially careful with the panel layout, wood movement, grain direction, and how the base and trim should be handled so the finished product would both look right and hold up well over time. The wainscoting came out really elegant and clean, and the craftsmanship is obvious in person. It gave the space warmth and character immediately. The bar work also came out great and tied in nicely with the rest of the room. Paul cares about the end result and it shows. If you are looking for someone for detailed trim or custom millwork and want somebody who actually thinks through the job instead of just nailing things up, I would absolutely recommend him.

He was quick to respond and professional from the moment I reached out. He sent a detailed price breakdown of the work, was prompt, and completed the job quickly. It was 19 days from when we first reached out to when the project was complete. Our cabinet looks perfectly the same, the price was very reasonable, and we're so happy! He even caulked our countertop before leaving and swept up our garage. What an amazing family-run team. Can't recommend them enough.

The project was completed quickly and at the quoted price. Although this was not the lowest quote we received, Dmitrii's honesty during the consultation phase helped earn our trust. (He accurately flagged that one idea we had in mind for our project--adding stucco over existing cinderblocks--should first be evaluated by a masonry expert. He was right: we consulted a masonry expert who confirmed that the stucco would not have lasted long on that surface, and it would've been a waste of money. Other fence companies were willing to do the stucco work and didn't alert us to the need for a masonry expert.) We will be coming back to HandyMaestro for our future fence projects.

Which my dad loved so much…read morethat he decided he really wanted two--one on each side of the two steps leading to the 'rumpus room'. He loves them. LOVES. THEM. The rails, that is. He's also a fan of R&R. It was supereasy and completely pleasant to work with the team from R&R. They have plenty of photos online to help navigate the discussion of options and designs, and they're knowledgable and friendly about helping you figure out what needs to happen and how to do it. When it became clear my dad wanted a second rail built and installed, I called R&R to request it. They were able and willing to make it happen fast, to work on getting materials as soon as they could and to make space in their schedule to get it installed for him. The second one required removing an older custom 'grab bar,' which Kevin patiently worked at until he figured out how to manage it. Which took almost as long as the whole installation. But he did it cheerfully, and you can't tell it was ever there. Their work is not cheap. But that's because it's not cheap. It's beautiful, handmade, custom-designed work that will hold up for the life of the house. So, yeah, it's expensive for all the best reasons. This team knows what they're doing. I'm absolutely glad I called them and I would--I did!--call them again. If you need railing, you should call them, too.
