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.

Anton did a great job with a couple of small repairs around my apartment, plumbing, resealing the sink, fixing electric switches, and other small bits and pieces. Everything was done in one session and everything was great. Communication was very good, he was very punctual, and the price felt fair.

Review of Guilherme, Nov 2025
We are extremely satisfied. For the children’s room, they built bunk beds, an office shelf, and wardrobe doors - all done very neatly and precisely, with excellent preparation and follow-up. Afterwards, we entrusted them with additional projects: new doors for existing walk-in closet, and a custom system they designed and executed perfectly. They also implemented our architect’s design for a shelving system in the home office and even installed bookshelves. In total, we completed five projects with this carpentry team - every single one outstanding. They are incredibly pleasant and friendly, and truly the best craftsmen we’ve ever worked with.
