Professional and quality. From our first consultation to final install Jack was consistently making sure we got what we wanted. Jack treated the entire process as a collaborative project, ensuring we understood every potential option and tradeoff. Our 1930's home had uneven and slanted walls that required extreme attention to detail. After two separate consultation visits, Jack built the bones of our dream cabinets off site to limit install time. Jack customized them for a perfect fit and even had a HEPA vacuum to take care of all the dust. Jack nailed it. read more

We hired Jack to build a custom vanity for my elderly mother-in-law. She was living with a broken down vanity from 1960 because she couldn't bear to part with the memory of what it used to look like. Jack came over and took measurements, removed one of the old decorative drawer fronts as a model to recreate the original design. A few weeks later he delivered and installed the new vanity. As a bonus he was able to re-use the original countertop and hardware. My mother-in-law was over the moon with excitement! Jack is a master craftman second to none. Hire Jack for your carpentry project. You won't be disapointed! read more

Jack did an OUTANDING job on our cabinets. My mom had worked with three different carpenters before, including Closet World, and each one either did a poor job or did not seem to know what they were doing. 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! read more

We had a hideous concrete slab that called itself a porch. For years, we didn't really know what to 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. read more

Jack converted a few built-ins in our place into modern cabinets. He made custom doors, drawers and facing. I wish I'd done it sooner, they're amazing. I actually kept finding more for Jack to do. He's thoughtful, detail-oriented and brought a keen eye to all the work he did. Thanks for making our place so much nicer. read more

Jack helped me out with my desk project and it turned out great. He added two clean grommet holes to the plywood top I was building. It was a small favor compared to his bigger woodworking projects, but he still treated it with care and detail -- highly recommend! read more

Had another great experience with Jack! We were looking to fill in a space where the microwave used to be and needed a backing panel. Jack created a beautiful match to the existing cabinet and fit the electric outlet. Great pricing and easy to schedule time with. He cares so much about the projects and is extremely thorough in his explanation. Already looking for more projects to hire him for. read more

I needed some work done on my front and side doors. I found Jack on Yelp and I am so happy that I did. He came and assessed what needed to be done and most importantly, Jack did not try to tell me I needed new doors. He said the doors could be fixed and gave me a quote for completing the work. I got a great "vibe" from Jack, so I immediately agreed on the scope of work and price. Jack and Masa came and, in short, fixed both doors. What I want to add is that they took such care with their work, didn't try to rush, obviously took pride in their craftsmanship and wanted me to be 100% happy with the work, which I am! Jack and Masa were very professional, polite and respectful of the property and made sure to clean up and leave everything neat and tidy. They are just great people. I would use them again when I have wood work projects and I have already recommended them to our friends. read more

I'm going to start with the punchline first: Jack is a true craftsman who clearly takes pride in his work and it shows. We had an unfortunate hardwood floor install and needed some help fixing the mistakes. From the start of the walk through Jack was extremely detail oriented and noticed all the issues, some which I hadn't been aware of. He was clearly thinking about the project as if it were his own home. Once the work started, both he and his worker were top notch, making sure everything was clean at the end of the day and the work was good. He remade the skirt board multiple times because he wasn't happy with how tight it fit. And in regards the value, Jack was extremely fair. I got multiple bids and he was right there with all of them. The project ended up being even more complex than thought and I never got the impression I was being nickel and dimed. He was on time and would work deep into the evening as required. My wife and I are super happy with the end result and it's turned what had been an ugly floor install into a beautiful home. Thank you Jack! read more

I used Jack and Masa for remodeling my japanese restaurant. It was my first time that I was 100% happy with the process and outcome. We encounterd several problems due being a very old building and discovering rotten woods, but they didn't make a big deal out of it and worked extra hours without re-negotiating the price. And all came out beautifully. I would definitely use them again. read more

Jack helped us with our project to create a mid century exterior door using a window kit that I bought years ago. He helped us source the solid core door slab, installed the window kit, painted the door and hung it. He even helped problem solve and fix some issues around the original door kit that improved it significantly. It looks great and has helped beautify our home so much! He was so great to work with and is very detail oriented. We hope to work with him on other home projects in the future. read more

came to Jack with a special project for a very sensitive piece of furniture that I had. a one of a kind mid-century coffee table and like a pro Jack delivered - I'm so blown away. My coffee table looks better than ever has before. I will try to update with Photos when I can, but he basically fixed the leg for a fraction of what everybody else was quoting me. I genuinely feel like I found a carpenter for life - no joke. read more

Jack is the best. It's as simple as that. When it comes to communication, eye for design, and care for his craft this is the best vendor in LA. He helped my family out with a patio deck that was not the easiest puzzle to solve. I had a layman's plan that he helped elevate to the next level. Honestly, Jack is probably the most fair artist and tradesman that I've even worked with and I'm a project manager for a living so I have some experience with working with vendors. Also, his crew is amazing. The nicest guys that were so polite to my kids who were basically trying to be apprentices, haha. You're in good hands with Jack & crew. Run, don't walk, if you have a project that needs a pro! read more

A carpenter in LA who gets back to you quickly and actually shows up and fully finishes a job is rare enough. Jack is all this AND also does amazing work. Knowledgeable. Detail oriented.

It took us years to find a great woodwork craftsman for our house. But we finally found him, Jack. He's nothing short of amazing. He custom-built thresholds to match our floor so our doors would be airtight. He was extremely courteous with our home. Used drop cloths and vacuumed afterward. He cared about his work and wanted what was best for the project. We can't recommend him enough. We wish we found him sooner but glad we finally found our woodwork specialist. read more

I had a couple problems with my front entry door. The wood was starting to split causing the door to stick when opening and closing, and water was coming in under the door when it rained. Jack came up with solutions to deal with both issues that also kept the aesthetics of the entryway in tact. He was thoughtful and caring with the work, suggesting to only change just enough to fix the problems and not create bigger headaches. He was communicative the whole time and really did an excellent job. I was out of my depth and worried I'd have to entirely replace the door. I'd highly recommend Jack. In a world full of shoddy workmanship, Jack is the exact opposite. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again if I need help with anything else. read more

Jack is great! Had him build a custom project for me and he was super professional and the quality of his work was top notch.
