We hired David initially to repair a major leak into our garage stemming from an above dividing…read morebalcony wall between our front neighbor's house and ours. David provided a comprehensive answer regarding the leak, something the other contractors we interviewed were not able to do. He was also able to give us a ballpark number in terms of cost whereas the other contractors gave us a very large possible window. More so, David is a true craftsman and knowledgeable about all things construction wise. Not only did he repair our dividing wall, but he also helped with our front door that wasn't properly installed initially and other odds and ends around our home. Our neighbor was so impressed with his work that she also hired him. And he has since done work for family members nearby. Lastly, we also had a major plumbing issue, and David was quick to refer an amazing plumbing company. We trust David completely, and I can't recommend him enough. He is also a kind, thoughtful person which is an added bonus.

Now he's moving onto all of the other unsolved projects I have around my house.

We reached out to two other cabinet companies; one was crazy expensive and the other said we needed a new kitchen, lol. Luckily, I found Michael at Finish Carpentry. 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.

It's worth the extra money because you can get the piece you imagine made rather than trying to fit big box store furniture into your home. Boris is great at working with you until you get exactly what you want. A pleasure to work with every time.

I sent an email out with the general spec and design, along with a photo of something similar to what we were looking for. He knew exactly what he was going to make, recommended wood to use for the table, and gave a clear quote for the work. Very professional communication with clear explanation. I kicked off the order quickly with a deposit, got a sketch to confirm the intended design with my wife (everything checked out) and a couple of weeks later got a confirmation on the color of the stain. We were looking to get the table before relatives were coming over internationally to visit us in our new house, and he delivered there as well! Finished piece was delivered a week ahead of our relatives showing up, and when my wife saw the table for the first time she said it was exactly what she was looking for! I am happy because I wanted a solid wood table with character. Boris took an email request and photo and created exactly what my wife was looking for on budget and ahead of schedule! He had a great attitude the entire time. I wish everyone I worked with could deliver like Boris!

Manuel is fantastic! We talked a couple times and got an initial idea of what we wanted to do. Then he came to measure and talk a bit more so we could refine the project. Manuel provided us with renderings and a quote that was well within our budget. We are not starting our project just yet because of timing but once we say yes, I'll come back to talk about that experience. So far, MJ has been fantastic to quote us and get us started on our kitchen remodel. I recommend them with no reservations!

We worked with MJ to redo a built in cabinet in the main living area of our house as well as a…read morereplacement of a mantle. 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.
