After weeks of dealing with other local door installers, we were having no luck. When we were able…read moreto get someone to come out and provide a quote to replace 2 exterior doors, the estimate was so outrageous I could only laugh. Robert came out and was very reasonable and helpful. He was able to source doors with the exact look we wanted in our price range. You can tell Robert is an expert in his field and a true perfectionist. I will be using Bruder Woodworks in the future for any projects we may have and couldn't recommend him enough.

II got ghosted by Robert at Bruder. Almost 30 days ago I found him on Yelp. It took well over a…read moreweek to get an appointment set up as communication was not quick. We finally had a pleasant meeting and he had good ideas. I was ready to pull the trigger on our first project and he knew it. There are probably 10 more projects he could have done for us and we wanted to create a relationship with a good person. Our meeting was June 28, he said he'd give me pricing by July 1. It's now the 16th and he has made zero attempt to contact me and has not responded to calls, an email and a message through his website ("hey, even if you aren't ready yet--could you tell me whether you are still intetested?"). I've now given up and wasted a month on an important project. I can't believe how disappointing this situation turned out to be and I do NOT recommend wasting your time with this company.

Excellent work done on a dresser I wanted to have changed from its original antic brown to a grey…read more I received pics in between, so I could see what was underneath the veneer and to be assured that the work was moving forward. I learned a lot about wood, because Logan loves his work and likes to explain his do's and don't while working on a project. Outside of simply friendly and professional service, I also felt taken serious as a customer and part of the process. I absolutely adore that new look for my dresser, and have already given Logan another piece to work on.

John and his team are kind, caring, diligent, and generous people. I hired HomeSmith to do a…read morehandful of projects in a house I recently purchased, one of which was to re-imagine a 1970s fireplace. I showed John a picture of one he did before, told him I liked redwood, and he was off to the races. In just a few short days, my dilapidated 1970s fireplace was a brand new marble wonder with a custom redwood mantle and much safer for my kids. When I had a problem with a window in my kitchen, John was on the scene and took care of it before I could even get to my house to worry about it. That next week, I had a huge, upgraded window in my office overlooking the hills. John cares deeply about his clients, takes care of your home as if it were his own, and charges a fair and reasonable price for his work. He communicates with you regularly so you feel informed, empowered, and cared about. He answers questions quickly and honestly, giving you the benefit of his many years as a general contractor. Doing business with him is like working with a friend or neighbor. I highly recommend John and HomeSmith and can't wait to work with him on other projects at my home.

I had come up with a preliminary plan for our outdoor stairs and patio projectss and he pretty much took it from there and ran with it. He was always pleasant, helpful and professional throughout the time it took to complete the projects. He completed the work, as proposed, and within the time allowed. He dealt with issues by coming up with solid solutions, keeping in mind to consider our budget. I would highly recommend HomeSmith for consideration when planning your next home project.

Will definitely be calling him again for any future needs. Thank you again Shane for doing such an awesome job!

Carpenters Fine Woodworking is a family-owned custom cabinet maker shop located in Vista,…read moreCalifornia.

They specialize in custom kitchen and bath cabinets, closets, built-ins, entertainment centers and garage cabinets. But wait....there is much more!!! Carl and Lena work one on one with you to fill your every wish and desire. They created the most gorgeous and stunning and personalized military display "wall rack" (not nearly the appropriate description!) for one of our retiring Air Force fighter pilots. It is absolutely a work of art! To top it all off, they met with me, they listened to my dream vision, they communicated with multiples of our other fighter pilots to gather their dream ideas; they then envisioned, designed, created, and built a masterpiece...all in six days (I'm a last minute kind of girl) to meet the retirement party shindig!!! Thank you Carl and Lena for accepting this no notice, unplanned, sortie mission and pulling it out spectacularly! We can not thank you enough.

The condo had a Murphy bed installed off of the living room, which I envisioned turning into a work space for my home office / home recording studio. One slight problem, the desk I had previously would not fit into the opening vacated by the now-removed bed. Enter Cristian. He came out to my place, discussed what my goals for the project were, took precise measurements and walked with me through various photos and diagrams of what I was trying to achieve. Throughout the process, Cristian kept me updated with photos on the build, only building my anticipation. The finished product exceeded all expectations. I couldn't recommend Cristian enough. I will absolutely turn to him for more work in the future!

Paint around the frame of our garage was falling off, plastic strips were coming off the garage…read moreframe due to improper attachment, and 2 shingles fell off the roof. Found Anthony through Yelp and he was very responsive. Talked to him briefly over the phone, he charges by the hour (plus material cost), and we set a date. He arrived at our doorstep within a few days (would have been earlier although our street was being re-paved) and got to work right away, 8am. The job ended up not being as difficult as initially planned, as the previous work to fill in the wood and repaint the garage frame was not good. He fixed the frame, repainted, and replaced the shingles by early afternoon! Other estimates were in the $3-4k range, and Anthony saved us thousands of dollars. I will definitely be contacting him first for any future house/contracting work. Thank you!!

It is the elegant, modern, clean bathroom I envisioned. They came in on budget and on time. They accommodated this crazy person without even rolling their eyes. Each and every carpenter, painter, tile installer, plumber and sub showed up, did a perfect job and was clean, honest, decent and hardworking. They were experienced, and it showed in their work and work ethic. Ron gave me a timeline and, for the most part, everything was accomplished on schedule. I didn't have to make any frantic calls. If there was any juggling to be done, Ron did it. And, Dunn was not the only bidder on the contract. I personally met with and got estimates and reviews from 5 others, and chose Dunn overwhelmingly -- and all estimates were basically the same. And, this was not the first time I'd renovated a bathroom -- it was the third! However, this experience was, without a doubt, the best. I have recomended Dunn without hesitation to my friends and family. We are planning to renovate another bathroom and the kitchen. I will absolutely contract with Dunn for both jobs.

I had contacted several other people to do this work to no avail. By luck I pulled up along side to Ron Dunn's truck, wrote down his number, called and received a call back within a day. He came to my house, measured, sent computer drawings of the cabinet via email within a few days. Since we were leaving town for awhile, there was no rush for the cabinet. However, when I returned unexpectedly only for a week, he was able to install the cabinet the next day. I can't say enough about the beautiful workmanship and quality of the cabinet he made. The installation was seamless and the price was reasonable. I would highly recommend Dunn Cabinetry in Carlsbad.
