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 used Justin to construct a custom media center for my TV. He did an excellent job. I haven't ever…read moreseen a contractor as meticulous as Justin is with his work. At the moment Justin is a one-man operation, and as a result he will require more time to complete his job than the big boys (e.g. California Closets when it comes to custom built-ins). The big boys, though, use particle board (whereas Justin uses birch plywood) and farm out the manufacturing operation to a factory to get things cut quick and have a install design (whereas Justin cuts everything himself in his own home, transports it himself and has to do all the alignments himself). I thought I had a civil engineer in my house measuring the curvature of my walls, that is how detailed he is. I asked Justin about what other kinds or work he does. He does all kinds of remodeling, including bathrooms among other things (although he will contracts out the plumbing for example). The big guys generally have a lead time of like 2-3 months. Justin's lead time is probably 1 month or so. He is extremely flexible. Very punctual too. I highly recommend him.

I recently had my French Doors (leading to my 2nd-floor deck) replaced with Sliding Doors. The…read moreinstallation was completed by Finish Carpenter. 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.

His approach is thorough, professional and efficient. We had him build and install a wall-to-wall storage unit built from natural hickory that he found and milled specifically for our project. He provided a quote for the project in a timely manner and his timeline for building and installation was sooner than we expected, which was a wonderful surprise. We are thrilled with the final product and know that we have added value and comfort to our home. If we have any future projects, we will certainly reach out to Rob for assistance.

Hiring Frazier Custom Cabinetry was a great decision. We worked directly with the company owner,…read moreRob. Rob built and installed a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling entertainment system for our family room. He also put up crown molding in two of our rooms. The final product came out great and Rob was great to work with. (I've put pictures of the entertainment center shortly after installation and painting.) Initially we spoke to Rob over the phone and sent him some photos of ideas we liked. We followed that up with a meeting at his shop, during which he showed us around and took us through everything he could do, which was quite a bit! We finalized the design and he sent us a scaled drawing within a quick turn around. The drawing looked exactly like we envisioned. Rob came to the house to measure and a few short weeks later, Rob and his crew were at our home doing the installation. During the installation, the one thing that stuck out to me was that Rob was very involved. I've seen company owners disappear while the crew is doing that actual job. Not with this job! Rob strikes me as a bit of a perfectionist and he really pushed his crew to do a great job. It showed in the final product. The other thing that showed in the final product is that Rob used quality materials and craftsmanship. We spoke to other companies before hiring Frazier Custom Cabinetry and they all planned to use inferior MDF products. Rob uses old-school joining techniques instead of relying on more expedient, but flimsier, methods. We could see this in how the crown molding was attached and how he built things in his shop. We got higher quality materials put together with finer craftsmanship and didn't have to pay more than what the competitors were asking. In short, if you're looking to have custom cabinetry done, hire Rob. He's easy to work with. He does what he says he's going to do. And his product turns out great. I'm already looking around for the next thing I want Rob to do for us!

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.

This company gave me the best price (by a pretty large margin), they communicated clearly each step, and did an outstanding job. No hidden costs, I didn't feel stressed, I felt comfortable that I was in good hands. I got estimates from a bunch of companies on Angie's list, but so glad I turned to Yelp and found Green and Gold.

I appreciated the contract was professional and comprehensive with provisions to address repairs/corrections (if necessary) after work is completed. Their quote was not the cheapest and not the most expensive. The workers were professional, adaptable to changes, and demonstrated pride in their work through the lifecycle of the project. I also appreciated they took their time installing the sheetrock and made all of their cuts with precision and tight fitting joints; they pre-cut wiring box, lighting, and HVAC holes prior to hanging rather than roto-zipping the holes, which mitigated potential damage to wiring in boxes. They were responsive and non argumentative to touch up areas I identified that needed sanding and/or paint; and they independently performed their own quality assurance touch ups throughout the process. They used quality Sherwin Williams paint and applied multiple coats to ensure uniform application. Great company, leadership, and workmanship overall. They completed the project without pauses and used the same workers throughout. In the end, all of the sheetrock lines are crisp and straight and the surfaces are smooth and even. While I do most of my own projects, I will certainly seek G&G services for future projects I have in mind! Big thanks to the team for a job well done and the care you have given to our home!

Communication with the owner was exceptional from start to finish. No long wait times, no back-and-forth delays--just clear, prompt, and professional responses that made coordination effortless. What impressed me most was their ability to perform under extremely challenging conditions. With 25-30 mph wind gusts and a three-story exterior to paint, I fully expected delays. Instead, they performed absolute magic. Their precision, attention to detail, and commitment to getting the job done safely and correctly were remarkable. This project was for one of our premier rentals in Alexandria, and the final result looks fantastic. I would absolutely use JZ Painting again for future projects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a reliable, high-quality painting crew.
