I hired Francisco to build a bench in my kitchen, and he’s been super helpful. He has come to measure twice, watched all the measurements, and given recommendations on things and he’s just a really great guy that's very likeable, with great English. He was much more affordable than the majority of the other providers I looked at, and I’m really happy with how it’s going so far.

Gael was just here last week doing a few chores for me, replacing a board on the bottom of a wall that had come out from humidity and some construction next to me, and also fixing a ceiling light. They were not terribly difficult chores, but he did it very quickly and had a nice attitude. I would give him a positive recommendation. Overall it was a very good experience.

It was a great experience working with Richard. A lot of what I asked for were customized, bespoke pieces, including a secret door with a shoe rack inside it, shutters and curved edges, and he was able to visualize it, draft it, and create it exactly as I wanted, even in a very small space. There were a few delays because of one part being made incorrectly by a supplier, but he kept me in the loop the whole time and was always communicative and professional. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I have already recommended him to several people.
