    Brendan and his team did a fantastic job bringing my dilapidated deck back to life by replacing the decaying boards with Trex and addressing the shortcomings in the foundation. Not an easy job, as it's an odd shape was even more oddly constructed. Brendan was a great communicator and he and his team were not just skilled, they were reliable and really nice guys. Highly recommended.

    Restored porch ceiling

    Brendan and his team are fantastic. I was having an issue where the ply wood cosmetic ceiling on the front porch was starting to fall down. He came out, looked up under, and he saw that our original rustic wood was there (and in pretty good shape). He offered a couple of options (just putting the plywood back up or taking it all down and refinishing what was under there). In deciding to take it down and restore some of the charm to the home, he and his team had competitive pricing, were able to start right away, and most of all treated the property with respect. They were great to have working at the house, they worked quickly, and in the end I'm so happy with the result. I'll definitely be calling him if I have carpentry needs in the future.

    Brendan and his team did an amazing job replacing my rear garage wall that was long overdue for a replacement. He was able to address all my concerns and made prompt suggestions along the way. They were also able to start quickly and finished rather quickly in about 1 day. The estimate price that was given was also fairly reasonable. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

    Final doors while the paint was drying

    I reached out to Your Carpenter Friend to replace exterior carriage doors on our garage. The final product looks fantastic! They were able to match the style so well that you can't even tell they were added in, apart from no longer looking damaged.

    The level of professionalism from YCF is second to none! As you can see from the photos, Brendan and his team made the vision we had come alive through the work they did. Each day they brought a level of excellence by showing up on time, being flexible to changes, and thoroughly cleaning up the job site before heading home. Each week our church congregation can enjoy they fine work these guys did. Heritage Baptist Church of San Leandro thanks the entire team at YCF for a job well done! If you're looking for a carpenter, look no further and go with YCF. You won't be disappointed.
