During the call itself, a surprising amount of time was spent venting about a previous client who had changed their mind about their layour. I was also mansplained the IKEA manufacturing process (I was very clear I'm looking for custom cabinetry) which felt unnecessary and off-topic. The rough sketches I provided worked for other cabinetmakers to generate bids, but Andrew repeatedly insisted that Ogee would require additional professional drawings before providing any estimate. That's fine if it's their policy -- but the way it was communicated felt dismissive. A large chunk of the call was spent watching him try to locate photos of a past project while he was screen sharing. After several minutes of this, I asked if we could just refocus on the conversation. Overall, the interaction felt scattered and oddly adversarial for what should have been a straightforward information-gathering session.

Andrew and his team were willing to do a full assessment of the existing issues and correct them so that we were able to enjoy a beautiful and functional kitchen transformation. They did a wonderful job finishing the island that has a stovetop range and a sink, as well as install the ventilation. We recommend Andrew and his team, not only for the impeccable work that they do, but also for their expertise and professionalism.

I had a really great experience working with Tim this last week. We had some mold remediation done…read morein both of our sons' rooms and needed their walls repaired (+ some insulation added in along the way). Tim quoted me a very competitive price and came through in every aspect from start to finish - responsive, showed up when he said he would, and even ended up taking care of one aspect of the job that I thought would be included that wasn't clarified/confirmed when he got started, but he wanted to be sure my expectations were met so he went ahead and took care of it at no added charge. Long story short, I hope we don't have occasion to need him again, but if I do, I'm glad to know someone that does quality work with integrity.

After multiple (failed in many ways) attempts by them, Jesus came in and finished off the cabinet. We were pleased, so we commissioned him to build a display stand for the top of that cabinet. Again, gorgeous. Finally, I needed a stand for a Javanese mask my brother sent me from Thailand. Jesus had some leftover Ipe from another job and from that he constructed the perfect stand for it, a dark, lustrous wood that matched the color of the mask. The cost was very reasonable, though not cheap. He's easy to work w/ and his work is excellent.

I don't normally write reviews, but after working with Jesus, I just had to. Jesus did an amazing…read morejob for us for our master bathroom and was great to work with. We were doing a full remodel and I really wanted the look of a sleek floating vanity cabinet - after looking everywhere, I knew I had to have one custom made. Of course I was worried about the price. Well, I got lucky. After almost going with home depot, I found Jesus and the price was actually comparable. All I had for a plan was a drawing of a floating rectangle with some drawers, and some pictures I had from the internet. I met Jesus at his shop - which, well, isn't in the best neighborhood - but whatever - it's a wood-shop. (made me feel all edgy driving into Richmond :) The point is that Jesus was very welcoming and easy to work with. Gave me full control of whatever wood choice I wanted. Initially I was thinking of some other type of wood, I forget the name, but then I saw a slab of walnut laying against one of the walls and fell in love with it. I asked if I could change my mind and go with the walnut, and he was just like, "sure, whatever you want." I then also asked if he could build some floating shelves and a tub curtain out of the same wood, and again, his response was just as easy going and positive. He actually ended making the tub curtain out of the exact piece of walnut that I initially fell in love with - which has an awesome pattern. Anyway, he's a great guy. does great work. product looks great and is very solid. He even came to my house after the vanity was installed to drill the holes and put in the handles himself. I wish there were more people like Jesus in the world :) Now check out the photos.

I selected a piece of quartz from their outdoor storage yard. I gave them exact dimensions for each piece and hole locations that were needed for one of the pieces. Both pieces were cut to within maybe 1/8" of what we showed on our fully dimensioned drawing. That included: hole diameters larger by 1/8", length off by 1/8", holes incorrectly located by up to 1/4". In addition, the cut edges were rough, sharp, and chipped in places. Really? You don't cut quartz and leave sharp chipped edges. Do you? Absolutely poor quality and absolutely below average work.

Scheduling was easy, and they arrived right on time. Ben came with his crew, introduced everyone, and they got straight to work. They removed the old fence and installed the new one efficiently. The entire 24-foot fence project took just over four hours. We had received another quote from a handyman that was significantly higher and did not include a warranty. G & G Deck & Fence's pricing was very reasonable, and the fact that their work is backed by a warranty gave us added confidence. The quality of the work is excellent--the fence looks clean, sturdy, and very well built. Overall, I'm very happy with the results and would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

In summary, we had a drainage pipe that was leaking, resulting in damaging the drywall it was behind. Ron, within minutes of entering our home, confirmed our suspicions and quickly got to work, starting with the removal of the severely damaged drywall segments followed by the removal of paint. He doesn't do plumbing, but recommended a plumber that he trusted and partnered with over the years. After the pipe was repaired, Ron proceeded to patch up the wall and prep it for painting. His professionalism throughout this multi-day experience was very positive - he shared his thoughts on what happened and why. I appreciated his candor and friendliness. The price we paid for the work was fair and very competitive, something I greatly appreciated.

We were in the market to repaint our hundred-year-old Craftsman home, and to be honest, we were…read moreextremely cautious. About ten years ago, we had a very poor experience with a painter who used improper preparation materials and techniques that were not suitable for a home of this age and type of wood siding. We ended up stopping the project midway and settling for a basic paint job from someone else just to move on. This time, we wanted our home properly repaired and thoughtfully restored. After watching a neighbor's home be beautifully prepped and painted by Level Five Painting, we were genuinely impressed and decided to reach out. The owner, Juan, came out for a walk-through and quote. He was gracious, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. We immediately felt we could trust him and didn't feel the need to get other quotes. Our home was assigned to the project manager, Ivan, along with Juan and Daniel, who handled the preparation and painting. They spent about three weeks -- Monday through Saturday; meticulously sanding, repairing, priming, and painting. We were blown away by Juan and Daniel's work ethic. They worked incredibly hard, stayed focused, and treated our home and property with the utmost respect. Every day, they left the worksite clean, organized, and well cared for. Ivan was wonderful to work with as he was responsive, communicative, and present throughout the project. He checked in frequently, answered our questions quickly, and made sure everything stayed on track. What truly set this team apart was their deep knowledge of their craft and the pride they take in their work. Their level of professionalism, skill, and work ethic is something that, sadly, feels increasingly rare these days. It was refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about doing things the right way. The final result exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did they revive our Craftsman home, but they also corrected many of the issues left behind from prior poor workmanship. Our home now looks refreshed, cohesive, and truly ready for its next chapter. Because of the quality of their work and the trust they earned, we've already booked Level Five Painting for our next project -- preparing and staining the interior wood trim throughout our home. We highly, highly recommend Level Five Painting.
