He was incredibly patient, took the time to answer questions, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. On top of that, the quality of the work was excellent.

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality work and a great overall experience!

As a multi-project, repeat customer, Frank has designed and built quite a few cabinet projects for…read moreme and I highly recommend him. Over the years, I've been very happy with all of the work he has provided. The cabinetry Frank made for me is in different styles and wood for different homes. Frank has a great mind for cabinet layouts and flow and his suggestions are thoughtful. That said, you are the client and he does not dig in, he is respectful of what you want. If you bring a designer he works well with them too. Frank knows his wood, has a good feel for color and the vibe of the project, and will accommodate different budgets and use cases. I've given him a few tricky assignments, such design and build a grand kitchen in a narrow area, and he has handled them with grace and provided great solutions. Frank is a good guy, is easy to talk to and work with, and he makes beautiful, functional, well made cabinets.

The quality of Frank's work is extremely high, and he takes pride in his craftsmanship. He built a…read more15 foot long cabinet with adjustable shelves and drawers, and it's perfect.

Bohdan did an incredible job remodeling a half bath and laundry room in our new house. The half…read morebath needed some cosmetic updates, and we needed to reconfigure the laundry room to have more space. Before getting started, I received estimates from several contractors and ultimately decided on B&A because of Bohdan's attention to detail and fair prices. He was also very friendly and personable. As some reviewers mentioned, his English is limited but this was not a problem at all. Honestly, he's a better communicator than many English speakers I know! He would send frequent updates throughout the process and came up with new solutions when he ran into issues during the renovation. Overall, I am extremely impressed with how well the renovations turned out. He finished both rooms in just five days, without sacrificing quality. Grout and tile work is super clean, paint is neat, everything was installed and working properly. Bohdan is an incredibly hard worker and I highly recommend B&A. I will definitely be calling Bohdan for future projects!

His crew works fast and efficiently and left the kitchen perfectly clean. The cabinets and drawers look like new. His estimate for the cost of the project was reasonable and, in fact, came within a few dollars of our second choice for the job.

Multiple handymen got back to me with quotes ranging from $150-$200 for labor!! even for a simple shower head replacement!! I was gonna give up and try to find another way to do it but Juan from Handyman Leo's got back to me with a quote for $50 which was a lot more reasonable compared to the other handymen so I made an appointment. He was on time and replaced my shower head quickly and efficiently. He had all the necessary tools and tested for leaks after replacing the shower head.

My wife and I have had great experiences with two other woodworkers in San Francisco, but they were…read moreunavailable for this project, so we hired SF Custom Woodworks to: 1. build a windowbox which would also function as a headboard for a bed, with built-in drawers and hinged openings for storage, made of ash veneer on plywood 2. cut a large slab desk which previously filled that window into two smaller desk slabs, to be installed elsewhere Our main contact was Alex, who was great to work with: rapidly responsive at all hours, friendly, accommodating. We were quoted $7,850. Remarkably, the windowbox was built and installed in less than a week. Unfortunately, the attention to detail in execution was poor: * the seams between the four main pieces aren't properly aligned, producing unsightly and rough-feeling edges * many of the edges were cut in a way which badly chipped the veneer * one of the hinged openings is badly misaligned, resting several mm above the surface * a drawer face was delivered with a stray drill hole * one of the main front faces was delivered with a large gouge * one of the drawers was designed to hold a CPAP machine; Alex carefully measured it, but delivered a drawer which didn't fit it * the drawer faces were attached with finishing nails rather than hidden joinery; the nail holes were then covered with poorly matching filler * the desk slabs were returned to us with gouges in the main surface, a 2" divot taken out of an edge face, and unfinished sides Alex told us that the misalignments are because our floor isn't level--which is fine, but the other two woodworkers we've worked with carefully shimmed their bases into place on-site so that everything would be level. Alex told us that finishing nails were necessary to attach the drawer faces, but another woodworker who built ash veneer cabinets for us produced beautiful results with hidden joinery. We sent Alex a list of 13 issues with photos; Alex gamely told us that he'd send one of his woodworkers to fix all but one issue. After a month delay with several reschedulings on both sides, the woodworker came. He fixed the two issues with the desk slabs, but in the process he also partially removed its surface finish, without comment and without offering to refinish it. He said he didn't know how to fix the other issues, and we were left with unfinished desks we still couldn't install. At this point, Alex stopped responding to messages. I gave up and refinished the desk slabs myself, which took about five hours. We planned to put a cushion on half the windowbox and leave the other half exposed, to enjoy the wood tone, but because the execution quality on the windowbox was poor, we decided to cover the whole thing with cushions instead. They meant well, I think, and they really did try. They did deliver roughly the windowbox we wanted, though with a low level of craftsmanship. I think they just don't have the skills/experience needed to execute this project well, and we didn't realize that before hiring them.

We had two projects: 1. Replacement of table legs (to a midcentury modern teak table) that were…read morelost by the moving company during a recent move, and 2. Replacement of six worn dining chair seat cushions and making the chairs more stable and safe. Alex and his crew did a great job with both, using solid teak legs for the table and dissembling and reglueing the dining chairs and fixing the seat cushions. The mohair chair backs were in good shape, and glued to the frame, so we wanted to keep them, though the seats had no cushion left and needed replacement. Alex closely matched the mohair backs- as he said, "a little different style but you'll like it!" We do! The cost was very reasonable and both projects were done in less than a week, with pickup and delivery. It was a pleasure working with him: great communicator, knowledgeable, and honest. Highly recommend.
