He also gave good advice when it came to installing a new shower valve. Since there was no way to access where the valve was without cutting the tile, the waterproofing would have been compromised. So according to him, it would be best to either redo the shower or we would have to use a bigger plate than the one that came with our shower valve to cover the big hole in the front in order to make space to work on the valve. Even though in the end we didn't touch the shower, it was mainly because of Ruslan's detailed explanation of what the work would entail.

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.

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.

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!

The project was completed quickly and at the quoted price. Although this was not the lowest quote we received, Dmitrii's honesty during the consultation phase helped earn our trust.

He was right: we consulted a masonry expert who confirmed that the stucco would not have lasted long on that surface, and it would've been a waste of money. Other fence companies were willing to do the stucco work and didn't alert us to the need for a masonry expert.) We will be coming back to HandyMaestro for our future fence projects.

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.

From our very first meeting, Tom demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. He took the time to visit our home, carefully measure the space, and listen to all of our ideas, wants, and needs. Throughout the design process, Tom offered numerous creative suggestions that enhanced both the functionality and appearance of our kitchen. Tom provided us with detailed CAD drawings that incorporated everything we discussed, along with several innovative ideas of his own. He was always receptive to our feedback, maintained a positive attitude, and consistently demonstrated a genuine commitment to making sure we were completely satisfied with the design. Once fabrication began, Tom and his team built our custom cabinets with outstanding craftsmanship and completed the installation on schedule. During the installation process, Tom continued to offer creative solutions and improvements that further elevated the finished product. The final result exceeded every expectation we had. Our new kitchen cabinets are absolutely beautiful, and the quality, fit, and finish are exceptional. Not only do we love our new kitchen, but family and friends continually compliment the cabinetry and ask who completed the work. We wholeheartedly recommend Tom Miller and Miller Cabinetry & Millworks to anyone considering custom cabinetry for their home. Tom's craftsmanship, professionalism, creativity, attention to detail, and competitive pricing make him an outstanding choice. If you are looking for a cabinet contractor who truly takes pride in his work and delivers exceptional results, you will not be disappointed.

AN URBAN TREASURE…read more We've enjoyed our totally remodeled kitchen for almost exactly a year, but the kitchen faucet started to loosen. To tighten it from below, we needed a basin wrench, which we don't have. So we decided to call in a handyman to do that plus some other little jobs. (I guess we can no longer call our kitchen "new" if something needs to be fixed. It's sort of like that first scratch on a new car.) Dan the Handyman stood out as one of the local best on the Web, so we gave him a call. He replied the next day, and he came out this afternoon. Dan was here for three and a half hours. He fixed the faucet (because we don't have that pesky basin wrench). He caulked a thirteen foot line of grout at the base of the back splash behind the kitchen counter and sink because there were spots where the grout had shrunk too much on drying. (I get messy with simple glue, so imagine me doing this.) He hung a sort-of heavy picture on the newly painted wall of our once-new, now-old kitchen (because I was afraid to attempt the job, screw it up, and then endure an unhappy wife). He installed some spacers in an electrical outlet such that I can now attach a wall plate and it won't look funny. (Remember, Dan's motto is "no job too small.") Finally, he spent most of his time running a new electrical line from a junction box underneath the house to an outlet he installed on the building's exterior front (so we can hang a lighted wreath on the façade next Christmas). I would probably have electrocuted myself had I tried this, um, at home. Dan is an urban treasure. He's a hell of a nice fellow and his work is impeccable. I wish we'd had more stuff for him to do. I'm keeping his business card accessible from the rest of the clutter. There's no need to go further looking for a handyman. Dan's your guy. P.S. 3/18/14 Dan returned today to expertly and efficiently: 1. Repair a leak under the bathroom sink. 2. Replace a toilet fill valve. 3. Shave-down the surface of a door that's been causing it to stick depending on the weather. 4. Replace a plate on the lock in a side gate that serves to hold the tongue in position. 5. Seal around the front housing of a postal box built-into a brick pillar; it leaks when it rains. (In Southern California, when is that, exactly?) Now, granted, any husband who's a Real Man should be able to do at least 2, 3, and 5, but I came to the realization a long time ago that I'm not a manly Mr. Fixit. The wife would agree. As a matter of fact, she's the one who, probably out of desperation, originally found Dan's listing. At the risk of burdening Dan with more work than he can handle, you should call him. He's an Urban Treasure who, with any luck, should become an Urban Legend.
