We just moved into our first house and wanted a closet in one room split into two so the adjoining room would have space as well. Steve came out to take a look, and suggested pocket doors ("just an idea!"), and we were very happy with the end result. Along with that work, we threw some things on his plate that we didn't anticipate (like having him patch holes in walls made by electricians running wires, and solving a tricky problem with mounting ceiling fans on tongue-and-groove), and Steve made sure to get everything done on time, even with a tight schedule due to painting. I was around most of the time doing smaller house projects, and I watched him bust his butt those days, and he even came by on July 4 and the weekends to do the more quiet work to ensure it would all be done on time. Along with this, his rate is extremely competitive, he was full of great tips for things I was working on, and would let me borrow a power tool or two that I didn't have when needed. I had a great experience working with Steve, and will be sure to use him again for future projects. read more

Steve Peltier - Carpenters Near Me

We continue to use Steve for all of our special projects, especially our carpentry projects. Most recently, he quickly created a redwood Privacy Screen in our backyard (see photos). His attention to detail is levels above what an everyday craftsman would do. All of the detailed features in this privacy screen are his own creative contribution. Also, some time ago, Steve created a storage cabinet for us in the garage (see photos). This was his creation to take care of our storage needs. Steve is not only creative, he cares about the project, offers suggestions, is reliable, and is well worth more than he charges. We continue to give him the highest recommendations. read more

Steve worked on fixing our sagging and rotted deck and did a fantastic job. 5 stars all the way. He also jacked it up to level and put down additional supporting beams (in pics). I highly recommend Steve for structural work in the house or decks. Great job. read more

Steve was fantastic! He was responsive, polite and just did a fantastic job installing a new front door at our house. I couldn't have been happier with the work he did and for what it cost. Thanks Steve!! read more

Excellent work. Steve figured out the best solutions to the challenge, and did first quality work. Will definitely call him again.

Steve is very nice and always wears a mask. He shows up on time and works hard and fast. The previous owners of my house had taken down a wall to a bedroom. I had Steve build a frame to hold framed French doors to enclose the room. My house is an old house that has sunk a bit from the landfill on one side. He was able to make a perfect adjustment so the doors are level. I've had Steve do other door installations and a window installation too. I'm very happy with his work. Steve is a college graduate who has studied door and window installation. I'm so happy I found him on Yelp to work on this ole house. read more

Steve fixed a problem I was having with an exterior door. I was being quoted as much as $2k from other sources to resolve the problem. Steve came over to inspect and proposed a solution that saved me about 80% vs the other estimates. He did great work and fixed the problem, as promised. Very nice guy. Responsive and creative with how to do jobs cost effectively. Highly recommend. read more

Steve did an outstanding job of making room for my garbage cans, off our driveway. He was able to find ways to cut costs and did it very efficiently!! I am extremely happy and would hire him again. read more

Steve Peltier - Here is the new area he developed. - Carpenters Near Me

Steve was again a class act in helping remove some debris that had collected from our move to a new house. He had done an amazing job building a fence and some shelving in our garage and a few months later followed up to see how things we working out. He made a run to the recycling center to dispose of some items that would have required a good amount of effort for us to put together on our own. We really appreciated the ease of getting it done with his help! read more

Steve rebuilt my stairs exactly as I requested. Another professional job.

This was absolutely the worst yelp experience I've ever had! I thought I try him because his of his reviews. Steve was rude and very difficult to work with. I'm having my exterior house painted so I needed him to do some simple carpentry. His work was very sloppy and definitely was not comfortable doing the work. He never finished the job after he cut a hole in my French door to remove the dry rot.... said he would return the next day to finish the job, so the upon his returnee told me he wasn't going to finish the job because I questioned his work! He then gives me a bill on a scrap of paper. The whole experience left me very upset! I would NOT RECOMMEND HIM! read more

Steve replaced several damaged window aprons on our house. He worked quickly and efficiently and showed us how he was improving the moisture barrier behind the woodwork. The workmanship was high quality, and I would not hesitate to use Steve again for similar carpentry jobs. read more

I hired Steve to repair my shed. It took him 21/2 days to rebuild the doors and put a gutter on it. The doors are better built than when they were new. He reinforced the frame, added a third hinge and used better screws and nails. This was all suggested by Steve. I am retired so I was home and I can tell that this man did not charge me for 1 minute he didn't work. He is well worth the cost of labor. I would hire him again!! He went above and beyond. Thanks Steve read more

Steve did an awesome job building an enclosure for me. Prompt, efficient, and conscious of my budget without having to be asked. Thanks Steve! read more

He completed the project in one day! His work is very good. Would hire again for handyman services. He removed old spa equipment & hauled it to our deck & made a small crawl space door. He wore a mask & cleaned up after himself! read more

Steve recently helped me with a few projects around the house. I couldn't agree more with all his other great yelp reviews. Not only was he prompt and professional, he completed the work in half the time and half the budget that I originally anticipated. I appreciated his creativity and emphasis on reusing materials wherever possible. Steve's work is solid gold and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for handyman services. read more

Steve helped me with a number of fence repair, gate repair and retaining wall rebuilding projects recently. He did a great job all around, and I was very pleased with the results. He took care of it all quickly and was reasonably priced. I will use Steve's help again and recommend him highly. read more

He is the best. He's done my kitchen and can do any woodwork.he also framed a bathroom and put in windows. Also helped with my fence. He very green he recycles wood to use it over and over again read more

Steve called me back the same day I called him and we discussed my needs. Some small (weather proofing, trim), some big (remodel laundry room). He came out the next morning, provided advice, and knock out the small job. He made suggestions on the big job which will require more planning. His rate is fair and he did a good job. FYI I called the four top five star handymen listed for my area figuring they are probably busy. 2 and 3 never called back, not even three days later. Number one called back the same day but wasn't available for 2 1/2 weeks. Steve is worth a call. read more

It was a horrible experience. Steve quoted me on a job and we agreed painting the downstairs, fixing a patch of the hardwood flooring, and helping move the furniture for painting. He kept insisting on bringing in a helper. His helper did almost 80 percent of the work and Steve would almost always not be working. He was dishonest about the amount of hours he and his assistant worked by several hours, and didn't complete most of the work I hired and agreed to pay him to do, his work was sloppy, and he was difficult and rude to work with. I hired him because of his good reviews and the experience couldn't have been any more frustrating and awful. read more

He just successfully completed for us two complex jobs:hanging two doors plus removing and replacing a huge long dry rotted heavy beam supporting the deck above our carport. Wow! He is a super capable carpenter plus "hellah" strong. Besides being a super carpenter he is a straight talking honest man who shows up on time and does the job! read more

Steve just finished a small but rather important project for us. We had water damage under our kitchen sink, In the process of addressing our water damage, the remediation company had to remove all the Melamine boards and studs. I contacted several other handyman companies but only Steve not only came to bid the work, but he was ready to install new our boards under our sink. The project required a very skilled individual to work in a very tight space and make several angular cuts to fit the boards in place. Steve did not require any oversight, so I just stayed out of his way. Steve was quick to perform our small but important project and I will be contacting him to return to our home to work on other projects. I highly recommend Steve to any homeowner that wants the job done in a timely manner and at an affordable price. Thanks Steve for allowing us to get our life back in traction once again.

I ran an interior design business for 10 years. As the office manager, I was tortured daily by sub-contractors who did not possess a decent work ethic and who did not produce quality work. It was a real struggle to find anyone who would show up on time, work efficiently, and produce a good outcome. That being said, I believe I am well-qualified to review Steve Peltier's work as a handyman. I hired him recently to work on a wreck of a house we are prepping for sale. His rates were very reasonable. He worked quickly; he figured out creative ways to save us money on supplies, and the quality of his work was phenomenal. Hire Steve. You will be very glad you did! read more

Steve repaired our fence, which had some loose boards and large gaps between boards which meant we had little privacy from a neighbor. He dealt, with good humor, the silly hostility from that neighbor, who called both her husband (who asked how big a guy Steve was) and the police (to whom we showed the survey that showed the fence was entirely on our property and the letter neighbor had received before they purchased their house informing them that all the fences they saw to the west were on our property, and thus belonged to us. When she asked Steve what we were paying him, he smartly replied "Enough". He had to go to several different stores to get the lumber needed for the repairs and finished the project quickly (by noon the 2nd day). We like the way the fence looks and appreciate his attention to detail. read more

Steve came to help me when I was in a hurricane of disasters, he was able to fix all the problems caused by previous contractors. He helped me figure out what I wanted and needed before I even had a clue. It was my first time hiring Steve and I do not regret it one bit. He will definitely be getting a call from me as soon as I have another project!!! read more

A regional treasure, Steve has a broad range of skills, knows everything and has a genius for quickly finding excellent solutions that others might not. Versatile, very fast and accurate. Cares about protecting your pocketbook. Big jobs, small jobs (2-hour minimum); refined craftsmanship or rough accordingly. AND over the six years we've been working together, Steve has bent over backwards to make himself available. In such a busy profession! read more

This is not a review of Steve Peltier's work, as I have not actually used him. I've read the other Yelp reviews for him, and they are great. This is rather a warning that Steve does not have insurance coverage. He is non-licensed, which does not bother me. I was planning to use his services in repairing a number of dry-rot areas on the exterior of my house. However, I'm glad I asked first whether he had insurance coverage. This may or may not be of concern to you, if not, ignore this review! read more

Needed some kitchen demo and prep work for new cabinets and countertop. GC quote to do this was insane. Steve responded immediately, accepted the job and did it fast, professionally and at a fraction of the cost of the GC. He is a jack-of-all-trades carpenter; can basically do anything. Good guy, easy to work with; very good person to have in your rolodex for these types of projects. read more

Steve is a very competent carpenter and more, always pleasant to work with, dependable (shows up early!) and has many good ideas to add based on his years of experience. I had been looking for someone to be my go-to person for the many things that come up around a project/house and I'm glad I found Steve. read more

Just a quick follow up to an earlier review. Most recently, Steve removed an old fence and built a new one for my house in Mill Valley. The fence came out looking great - definitely a professional level of carpentry. Steve did all the work himself as he promised and did it when he said he would do it. The project came in at less than he bid it for. I recommend Steve highly. read more

Steve is awesome. He has put up shelves, fixed doors, put together Ikea stuff, pressure washed my patio, installed exterior lights. He always arrives on time, friendly, extremely helpful. Willing to take on any task you might have. I will always think of him first when I need handy man stuff around the house. read more

I was referred to Steve from a friend of mine last year and I couldn't be happier with his work!! His expertise is carpentry (he's a journeyman carpenter) but Steve has also done electrical, plumbing and tile work for us. He can do foundation, framing, decks, stairs, doors , windows and sheetrock. Steve is dependable (shown up on time everytime we had an appointment), hard working and very affordable!!! If you need some help around your house - be it construction/carpentry, tile, small electrical and plumbing jobs - I'd highly recommend Steve!!!! read more

Steve was prompt, fair and works very hard to solve the problem. He also is adept at quickly solving issues that do not need an expensive solution. You can't lose when using Steve Peltier for your handyman needs. read more

Put a walkway in for me.... Was awesome to work with. Even took a dump run afterwards for me. Would highly recommend...
