In a nutshell, working with Jitendra exceeded our expectations on several levels. The bookshelves…read morethat he designed, built, and installed really add much-needed warmth and life to our living room! BACKGROUND: We wanted bookshelves installed above a built-in cabinet unit in our living room. I sent Jitendra a sketch and described what we wanted. From my chicken-scratch sketch, he created a design and mock-up, then measured our space. While measuring, he flagged all existing flaws in the space (uneven/slanted walls) so that we were aware of all inconsistencies upfront. He has amazing attention to detail! RESULTS: We were simply blown away by how well he was able to match the custom shelves to our existing unit; all of the wood looks like it was manufactured at the same time! It truly looks like it was all constructed as one piece from the very beginning, which is exactly what we wanted. In addition, we really appreciate that he took initiative to incorporate crown molding/extra detail on the top of the shelving unit. This is something that I would never have thought to do. WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE HIM: There's good reason why the word "artisan" is in the name of this business. He goes above and beyond on quality, service, and workmanship, AND he's very personable, patient, and kind. I HIGHLY recommend working with Jitendra and his crew; worth every penny!

He made this crazy project of curved barn doors for us and he really put his heart into it, he paid attention to all the details. The result was beautiful. Each and every contractor coming in our house (and we had many) are amazed by his work. We got in touch with Jitendra a long while after our project was finished for other advice and he provided his professional advice without hesitation. He is one of those contractors that you can trust without the need to be worried that things might go wrong. Jitandra is an expert at his craft, kind and down to earth, and we appreciated so much working with him.

I had gotten several estimates/quotes from other plumbing companies who all told me I'd need to replace the ENTIRE thing. I called on The Meticulous Handyman and one of his team members came out and reattached the sink to the counter saving me probably hundreds of dollars. Apparently this is a common problem! He was also friendly, very meticulous and just did a great job (no problems since then). I would recommend this business to anyone!

I've had bad experiences with prior repair people asking if I'm single or prying, which is absurd and unprofessional. Not only was The Meticulous Handyman professional but they were meticulous as promised. I had a long "to do" list of projects ranging from fixing sinks to aligning sagging shower doors to replacing light fixtures. Gary not only handled everything but he did a phenomenal job of multi tasking and juggling multiple projects at once. He had a run or two to a hardware store for materials but it was efficient and he didn't overcharge. I've recommended them to my neighbors and plan to have them back again soon. This was the best thing I've done for myself lately.

It was incredibly frustrating, and almost every company we reached out to declined to help. Thankfully, this company didn't. Within just a few days of contacting them, Jarret came out and took care of everything. He replaced 12 cabinet pulls and 21 knobs, making all the necessary adjustments to ensure they fit perfectly. The attention to detail and willingness to tackle a tricky situation really stood out. The transformation was amazing, our cabinets now have a completely refreshed look and feel. On top of that, their communication, value, and responsiveness were excellent from start to finish. Just an all-around wonderful experience. A huge thank you to Jarrett!

Even though Fidel and his team did our kitchen…read moreremodel two years ago, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think, "Damn, this is a good looking kitchen!" From start to finish, this was hands-down the easiest contractor I've ever worked with. Friendly, professional, a good watchful eye. I would not hesitate to work with Fidel and his team again! They completely redid our cabinets, countertops, and seamless backsplash. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the layout is so functional--they gave us plenty of great slide-outs in the lower cabinets that make organizing and accessing everything effortless. One of my favorite features is the custom built-in china cabinet with glass doors and under-cabinet lighting; it looks absolutely stunning and displays our dishes so nicely. Throughout the entire process, the team was friendly, punctual, easy to work with, and offered great advice whenever we had questions about design or layout. Everything was finished with incredible attention to detail. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and would definitely use them again for future projects!

He recently built custom…read morecabinets for our kitchen and closets that complement the house's mid-century modern architecture and add much-needed, accessible storage. Just as importantly, he completed the work on time and on budget. Because we wanted to preserve the kitchen's vintage appearance as much as possible, Robert refinished the cabinet and drawer faces, adding new drawer slides and pull-out trays that make them much easier to use. He also built a new range hood enclosure and work area that match the existing kitchen cabinetry. For the closets, he created built-in drawers and adjustable shelves that are both practical and attractive. From the outset Robert listened closely to our priorities, provided options, and suggested clever solutions. He is organized, tidy, and coordinated well with other contractors who were working on the site. Highly recommended!

They were 100% on time, on budget, and worked seamlessly with changes as our project moved forward. Sarah's keen design eye and Chad's workmanship are second to none.

The 2024 remodel of my San Rafael home was the largest home construction project I have attempted,…read moreand this is my 4th house. I am a certified Project Manager and licensed Mechanical Engineer, so I know what good project execution looks like. MKC is the best residential contractor I have worked with in my 30 years of home ownership. MKC employs a process with heavy emphasis on planning the work up front followed by quality execution by the craftsmen. Scott (owner of MKC) honestly strives to land each project with the highest quality work done at a reasonable price. My project was mainly to remodel a kitchen and master bathroom. Additionally, we removed two walls (one load bearing), replaced 1/2 the house windows, addressed two different legacy structural issues, replaced fireplace, all interior doors, all baseboard and trim, all flooring and about a dozen other upgrades (add ceiling fans, add additional door, replace garage door header, toilet in 2nd bath, etc.). Basically, I received a new house. The work was completed in a little over 4 months as planned adding time for the new scope and structural issues. The cost was as expected. MKC costs were nearly exact to expected. Material costs were higher than planned due to our selection of materials vs assumed. The quality of the work was outstanding whether it was by MKC employees or subcontractors. I highly recommend the MKC team for a kitchen or major home remodel.

I have PTSD from others doing bad, work or being lazily and unfair. I can honestly say it was a pleasure working with them. Of course we had normal problems that had nothing to do with them but they were patient and understanding. We Interviewed 4 different companies and no one was interested in us unless we could spend our life savings.
