We've worked with Michael on several jobs, the biggest was building an elevated bungalow for our…read moreoffices (we're a creative company and wanted something equally creative and interesting). Michael was able to turn a pencil sketch that I did into an incredibly sound and beautiful structure, which was a real feat considering all of the the limitations he had to work with. I've read all of the reviews about Michael and sometimes depending on how busy he is, his communication can be hit and miss, but he completely makes up for it with his incredible knowledge and commitment to a quality finished product. If you want someone who cares about the work that they do, and can come in and solve problems to deliver something that will absolutely stand the test of time, talk to Michael. Michael has built large and small structures, some load bearing and some just enhancements to an existing design, and every time I've been more than satisfied with his rates, delivery time and quality of work. He's definitely an artist when it comes to wood, not just some guy to drive some nails into a 2x4. I don't hesistate to recommend him to anyone that wants absolute quality and creativity at a reasonable price.

Highly recommend Michael. He did a great job replacing some load bearing porch posts for us. He…read moredoes what he says he is going to do and has a strong attention to detail. Most importantly he is reliable and trustworthy. A dying breed these days!

I consider myself a DIYer, but in this case, I wanted something done professionally to make sure everything was nice and neat. While I had a basic idea of what I wanted, I debated getting a formal project manager to handle coordination of the full install. With a ton of experience doing this kind of install, Marcus helped out so much that I was pretty much able to handle coordination of the main pieces and personnel without needing to hire anyone else. He did a great job making the vision come alive and was transparent with any problems that arises (and importantly fixing them when necessary). He was friendly, fair with pricing, and also very quick-- framing and installation took only 2 separate, spread out days (to allow for drywalling and parts arrival in between). My personal experience with him in terms of communication was excellent, but I also purposefully avoided peak summer season so as not to catch him at a busy time. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

I enjoyed working with Chris and his team. They did full kitchen remodeling in our house in 8…read moreworking days which was so much faster than any other estimate from other companies between 4 to 5 weeks. They built and installed all new cabinets, replaced lights fixtures, added new recessed lights, painted walls, ceiling, doors, added lights under the cabinets. Basically they did everything that I asked them to do. Also they agreed to put back my old granite countertop that helped me to save some money. I was very happy that they took ownership of the whole project, and I did not have to hire anyone else. Another thing that I really appreciated was that Chris was easy to work with. He gave me good advice when I asked his opinion. He never insisted on things to be done his way and always did it how I asked him to even when things had to be redone. I would highly recommend working with Chris and his team! They are very prefossional and have expertise in doing everything, and also their pricing is reasonable.

Chris was a life saver with this job. I had originally contracted a different furniture maker to…read morebuild the two pieces (bookcase and a built in wardrobe) and sure wish I had been aware of Chris Dardon at that time. The furniture had been built to such a poor standard that I had no choice but to find someone who could correct the numerous mistakes. I was very worried about what might even be possible and of course the cost of essentially redoing the job. Chris put my fears to rest. He assured me that he could correct the problems but also had great ideas on how to change/improve the overall look. He and his team did an excellent job, were thorough and professional, timely, and a Great value for the money. I am thrilled with the finished product. If I have any needs at all in the future for custom work, I know 100% that I'll be using Chris Dardon and do highly recommend him

Josh is very good at what he does. We hired him to build a large built in bookshelf with drawers…read moreand a desktop. We were a little nervous about putting down a deposit months in advance (he was booked so far in advance!), but the end result was fantastic. He was always forthright in communication and reliable. He did what he said and was honest when he had to reschedule something. On top of that, he was always friendly and direct. Josh listened carefully to exactly what we needed, talked out any possible issues we'd have, and accounted for all the outlets and such that would have to brought out through the piece. We also had to re-do the crown moulding around the piece, and he noticed the poor installation of the rest of the moulding in the room, so he agreed to re-do the rest of the moulding, too. He's meticulous and thorough. We got to watch the progress as he built the piece, because he posts pictures on his Twitter account, which is great! The installation went smoothly, and the final piece looks great (as you can see in the picture) - it's exactly what we wanted and discussed. The new moulding also looks great! I would absolutely recommend Josh for any carpentry project!

After enduring disappointment with two previous contractors, my experience with The Carpenter's Hand was nothing short of remarkable. From the initial conversation with Jeff to the final touches, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to excellence were evident throughout every step of the process. The Carpenter's Hand not only saved the day but transformed our vision into a reality with meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled craftsmanship. Their team exhibited a level of skill and efficiency that truly set them apart. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and the finished result is nothing short of spectacular. Throughout the two weeks, The Carpenter's Hand demonstrated a commitment to open communication and transparent collaboration. They consistently went above and beyond to address any concerns, ensuring that the project progressed smoothly. Their ability to navigate unexpected challenges with grace and expertise was truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend The Carpenter's Hand to anyone seeking a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor for their home improvement projects. Their dedication to delivering outstanding results and providing a positive customer experience has undoubtedly earned them my highest praise. I am grateful to have found Jeff and his team of professionals who not only met but exceeded my expectations, turning our house into a home that we can truly be proud of. We will certainly be calling them on our next project. Warning: Be very diligent when looking for a company or someone who calls themselves a contractor in San Antonio. There are many con artists in the area.
