    Antique French Etagere

    My wife has an antique French Etagere (knick-knack shelf stand) that needed some restoration work completed. After contacting a few wood working shops, Marcus Salmeron from "My Wood Shop" was the only one interested in helping me out with my wife's restoration project. Marcus quoted me a reasonable restoration price estimate, so I dropped my antique Etagere off at his workshop in Riverside. Two weeks later, I picked up my wife's beautifully restored Etagere, which had all new larger hardwood replacement shelves, freshly stained and clear coated. It looks brand new! I gave Marcus a 5-Star rating, but I wished I could have provided him a "10-Star rating, instead." Marcus, thank you!!

    Built-in entertainment cabinet
    Brian C.

    We have used Marcus twice this year, first time was for this built-in entertainment cabinet, second time was for this mantle and we couldn't be happier. Both projects exceeded our expectations. Marcus takes his time and ensures details you might not notice are finished to perfection (and we're picky) We plan on hiring him again for a built-in dinette in our family room. Great customer service and always happy with the finished product.

    What the original manufacturer did on their 2nd try, notice how the sides are too short.

    I recently ordered a furniture stand from Germany to hold my DJ equipment. Not sure what their deal was, but they kept messing up the measurements for the table top, such that the cut out wouldn't fit my controller. After the 3rd mess up, I decided to take matters into my own hands and find a local woodworker to fit it. Found Marcus and he was super responsive and didn't treat me like my project was too small. He got the table top done and now I can finally use my stuff! Because he treated this small project well, definitely looking to him for some larger projects. Thanks!

    Accent wall after

    Today Marcus and his team installed this gorgeous accent wall in my kitchen. Prior to meeting with him for an estimate I had one inspiration photo, and I knew exactly what I wanted in my head. He made that a reality and it's even better then I imagined. He was able to match the stain on my dining room table (a DIY project). His price was very reasonable, he communicated with me every step of the way and took his time to make sure everything was right and looked great! We are in love with the wall he created and would not hesitate to call him again.

    If you want the most professional cabinet finishing, I highly refer Marcus for your cabinet needs. My bathroom was transformed from a 1946 initial home build into one complete beautiful 2020 modernized bathroom along with a beautiful blue paint color and I even got my living room, dining room and hallway beautifully painted. So very pleased and would highly refer Marcus, he is a perfectionist too!

    Dude,... Brandon does amazing work. I have a 1947 house that has a lot of work that needs to be…read moredone, and Brandon has always gone above and beyond to do things in a very functional, efficient manner, and with design and coolness in mind. Here are some examples: Changed a faucet that dripped for YEARS that I was told was not fixable. Not only was it not dripping but he closed up the rusty old hole and made the tile look like the hole was never there. Had the uuuugliest fluorescent light in the living room, like "Joe vs the volcano" level, he replaced it, made it look like it was just all a bad dream. He replaced and fixed the kitchen door so it was even with the floor, when the door would open it would get stuck because the floor was not even, so he did some mathematical engineering and got it to work. He stabilized the dried out wooden pergola over the patio with wood and new metal supports so it didn't have to be torn down, saved a lot of money. He was able to design and construct from scratch a gorgeous washer and dryer enclosure that replaced a UGLY UGLY termite eaten shed that disintegrated when you barely touched it, rusted nails coming out, doors falling off the hinges. Throughout the process, he was very communicative, asking questions that involved functional design, placement, aesthetics. Even matched the hardware to the fences, which really was supercool. He also replaced a variety of ceiling fans, ceiling lights, bathroom faucet, drain, lights, kitchen drains, electrical plugs, fix a fence, and problem solve regarding how to hide wires, electrical cords. Long story short, I would highly recommend Brandon for house repairs, fixes, and design problem solving. His work is very thorough, detail and quality oriented, and he is very professional and is really an expert at what he does.

    Brandon has done quite a bit of handyman work for me - garbage disposal replacement, etc, but he…read morehas also helped bring an older home back to life. The photos are before and after of a weird built in that didn't make sense in a bathroom. He built it into a useful cabinet with a mirror. The other photo is an oddly built wall that he turned into a useful storage space. Would definitely recommend!

    I reached out to So Cal Woodworks on February 12th to schedule an appointment, and my experience…read morewas extremely frustrating. My appointment was rescheduled four separate times, often last minute. As a mom of 10-month-old twins, my schedule is very structured, so the repeated changes were especially disruptive. I understand things come up, but the lack of reliability was disappointing. I ultimately had to move forward with another company. **Update: After the owner's response, I went back and reviewed our messages and he's correct that there were two reschedules, not four. I appreciate the clarification and understand that one of the cancellations was due to a family emergency. Hope all is well with your mother. That said... scheduling delays, limited availability and multiple reschedules still impacted my timeline and planning, which ultimately led me to move forward with another company. I understand that unexpected situations come up, but reliability and consistency are important factors when choosing a service. Sharing this for transparency so others can make an informed decision.

After getting a few quotes, we decided to go with SoCal Woodworks, and I'm so glad we did. James and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with: professional, punctual, courteous, and always respectful of our home. James patiently addressed all of our questions and offered thoughtful, expert guidance, especially when we found ourselves wavering over details (who knew choosing the perfect shade of blue could take 20 minutes?). The craftsmanship and attention to detail were truly exceptional. The final result is stunning, and I'm already looking forward to working with them on future projects.

    Bill is a true craftsman! I've had a wood gate that has needed rebuilding for the last 8 years…read more Pieces of the wood gate were rotting. Over the years, I've had other handymen pass on the project. I had a handyman who was able to fill the rotted areas with wood filler, sand it, and restain it. I've even had a gate company tell me that they could not save the gate; it would need to be completely replaced. Bill was able to cut out the rotted pieces of wood, replace them, and restain the whole gate (he also repainted the decorative hardware on the door as well). Moreover, he discussed the project with a buddy of his and they determined that the gate was sitting over a muddy part of landscaping which is probably what facilitated the deterioration of the wood. We found some leftover pavers in our storage shed and Bill extended the pavers so the gate would sit over pavers instead of mud. Before he embarked on the wood gate repair, Bill also installed a valance/shade over a window. He made the necessary calculations to ensure that the valance/shade would be centered on the wall and window. He also made sure that the valence was leveled. Bill is honest, meticulous and detail-oriented. If you want someone to treat your project and your home, like it's his own, I would give Bill a call.

    Bill is outstanding…read more Bill is absolutely the best for woodworking and detailing custom projects with wood. Bill took time on a Saturday to talk to me about issues I was having a bathroom issue. Even though he does do that work he took 30 minutes to educate me and save big $ with another contractor.
