    New frame TV installed by Max.
    Sarah P.

    Max was great - we hired him to hang our flat screen tv and a couple new sconces. He was very communicative, told me when he would show up, let me know his status, arrived on time, was incredibly polite and had all the tools and skills anyone who needs help could hope for. I'm excited to have Max come back and help me with more projects. I highly recommend him!

    Installing sink
    Jennifer G.

    WOW! Whatever job you need, he can do it! I messaged Handy Max to install PVC shiplap in my small restroom. He was so patient and did the job in a 1.5 days. He did such a great & clean job, that I asked if he could install the sink as well. He took care of looking for the correct pipe connections & even came back another day when I asked him why my drain was acting slow. He came back & changed it with a different connection and the problem was solved. I also hired him to install a bug protection plate for the security door. He made the door entry look seamless! There used to be a huge 5 inch gap between the inside/outside door & he was able to close it seamlessly. I will never hesitate to hire him again for my DIY needs! So professional & gets back to you quick! Very honest man as well & won't try to overcharge you for the job. 10/10!

    Max was super prompt, friendly and did an amazing job fixing the cracks in our ceiling. You can see the before and after photos! Will definitely be using him again

    Murphy bed installation
    Nate S.

    Built and installed a Murphy bed for us in our ADU. Super professionally and clean work. Highly recommended!

    Very heavy 107" wide blackout curtains, installed perfectly and now very sturdy!

    My husband and in-laws have spent 6+ hours of pure frustration trying to get these extremely heavy 107" blackout curtains installed in our apartment. We ended up ripping a hole in the wall! Finally, after seeing Max's reviews, I decided to give him a call and I'm so glad I did. He arrived on time, quickly patched the wall and installed the curtain support brackets securely into the studs. He communicated very clearly before and during the job. Start to finish, Max completed the job in just 2 hours. He even earned the trust of my little dog, who barked at him for a moment, then fell asleep next to him while he worked. Do yourself a favor and give him a call!

    Newly installed vent .

    Our install with Handy Max went very well.He was knowledgeable and polite . We would recommend him as an installer.

He was attentive to our needs and the result transformed our family room. It was a room no one sat in. Now, our family and friends flock there to unwind, have family movie night or to play games. The quality of his work impressed us so, that we had The LA Cabinet Company add a built in bar, floating shelves and cabinets to our dining room. Again, impeccable, flawless work. He then took on the challenge of our kitchen. My family and friends were stunned! Everything was to our specifications, gorgeous, and offered UNIQUE storage solutions. Mike is a skilled craftsman. He was responsible and respectful throughout the duration of the work. I cannot speak to value as we looked nowhere else. His work does take time, beauty and customization always does. His work was well worth the wait AND the way it has gathered our family together IS priceless!!! I highly recommend Mike and his team for all your cabinet needs.

After emailing back and forth, we set up a time for Mike to meet at my house to take dimensions and to talk further about what I wanted. About one week later, Mike sent me a drawing and we made some changes. Although I am very unfamiliar with any type of knowledge when it comes to shelves, parts, etc., Mike took the time to walk me through everything and even sent me photos and explanations of my options. Mike was very responsive via email and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted before he started to build the customized shelves and cabinets. Mike and his team were also very respectful on the day of installation. All in all, I highly recommend Mike! My living room turned out even better than I envisioned!

Jack was a complete turnaround. He was very kind, professional, and clearly skilled. He knew exactly what needed to be done and delivered beautiful results at a very affordable price. We could not be happier with the work and highly recommend him!

    We had a hideous concrete slab that called itself a porch. For years, we didn't really know what…read moreto do with it, so we ignored it. But after redoing our garden beds and restoring our original exterior windows, that hideous slab became un-ignorable. It turns out finding someone willing to build a new porch is really difficult. We spoke to six different companies and most wouldn't be transparent about their pricing, quoted insanely high numbers, had spend minimums, tried to forgo the vision entirely to be closer to (but still above) our budget, or never replied. We reached out to Jack, not expecting much different, but were immediately impressed by the time he took to speak with us about our porch and design goals. He walked us through different considerations, proposed different materials, and answered questions to be sure we were all aligned and the integrity of everything would be solid. He then sent us an incredibly detailed recap and proposal of what he would do with itemized pricing, really underscoring his authenticity in wanting to be a true partner. Throughout every step of the project, Jack made sure to consult with us through any decision we needed to make or reconsider based on the actuality of what we were encountering. In construction, the only guarantee is that something will come up, requiring flexibility, and every time it did, Jack had solutions that actually ended up exceeding our original design. He was also incredibly patient whenever we deliberated on different ideas or when we were moving through his workspace. His commitment to our project and work was noticed and remarked on by multiple neighbors, as he and his team worked through long days and some brutal summer heat to get it done before we had family visiting. In fact, several stopped Jack, or us, to get his contact for themselves. Whenever it came to the finishing details, like custom balusters and top rails, Jack was quick to be critical of when a piece didn't turn out as well as the rest, pointing it out and starting over. Jack also had to laminate multiple pieces of wood together and seek out a specific machine to achieve the custom rounded top rail we were after for the new railing. By the end of it, Jack delivered us a porch that exceeded our expectations and our initial hopes. Having worked with so many vendors on so many different projects, we taught ourselves to not expect perfection but in this case, Jack delivered the closest to that of anyone, ever. The truth is, there just aren't many craft people like Jack around anymore. And there are even far fewer with customer service as incredible as their talent. Jack is one in a million and we consider ourselves supremely lucky to have met him and that he had availability in his project schedule.

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.

From the beginning Manuel was challenging to get ahold of (no responses on emails mostly). Work started a week later than we had agreed on and Initially the project was supposed to take 3 days - demo, install, finishing- and it was suggested that it could be done in one week. The project started September 25 2024 and was finally finished November 15, almost 2 months. During demo we had to ask them to stop because they did not tape off the space and spread huge amounts of dust throughout our house that we ended up needing to do lead and aesbestos testing to move forward (not to mention, I had to take a day off of work to clean up the mess created). We had to call and text and basically beg them to send people out to finish the work and we could tell we were a very low priority- mostly working Saturdays, canceling multiple times after committing to dates, unwilling to commit to days until a day or two in advance, etc. He pretended he would work around our schedule but if that was the case, this work would have NEVER been completed. I canceled plans 3 times during this process to make myself available to get this work done. After demo, I think they realized this job was more complicated than originally anticipated but instead of telling us that, Manuel just kept us guessing, unsure if the timeline had changed- he did not want to communicate specifics with us which we would have really appreciated and welcomed. We learned quickly that they were not particularly respectful of our space so we began taping up our own plastic space dividers to keep dust and fumes out of the rest of our living space. The workers were very nice and I believe the issue is with management rather than the workers themselves. In the end, the work is nice enough which is why I give 2 stars instead of 1. The finished work was absolutely not worth the headache and displacement we experienced to get it done. It was a truly painful experience. I have other cabinetry projects I would like to do but will absolutely not be hiring MJ Custom cabinetry again to do the work.
