It's really hard to find a good, trustworthy contractor, but we were lucky to come across Brendan…read moreat Your Carpenter Friend. We had wood rot on our exterior siding and fascia, and Brendan was very thorough in assessing the damage and explaining exactly what needed to be done. He showed up on time each day, took his time, and paid close attention to every detail. There was even an unexpected issue when a nail accidentally hit a pipe, but Brendan immediately took responsibility and was quick to fix it. We really appreciated how professionally he handled the situation. The quality of his work is excellent--you can't even tell where the repairs were made! He truly treats your home as if it were his own. He also went above and beyond by giving us helpful home maintenance tips that weren't even related to the siding work. We're very happy with the results and highly recommend Brendan and Your Carpenter Friend to anyone looking for a skilled, honest, and dependable carpenter.

I reached out to Brendan for a bid on replacing some rotted soffits and fascia on my roofline…read more Brendan came by, on time, was friendly and knowledgeable and pointed out an issue with a failed chimney flashing. I was also getting bids for some roofing work and I was very appreciative of him bringing it to my attention. Brendan sent a reasonable bid for the work and we set a date for repair. He and Sam arrived on time, got straight to work and did a great job making the repairs. They cleaned up when completed and really did a fabulous job. Would highly recommend them for your carpentry needs.

I reached out to Mauricio to help with getting a smart door lock installed with my double entry…read moredoor with a custom mortise door lock handle that would've cost me as much to replace with the same type of handle and lock as getting the smart lock added with his help. Mauricio helped me to add a new deadbolt opening into the exact right spot, had all the right tools for the job, and made sure to take the exact measurements needed to make sure my new smart door lock fit and worked perfectly. I needed someone exactly like Mauricio who takes his craft like art and does the job right the first time. One mistake and I'd be looking at doing a new double entry door replacement that would've cost at least a couple thousand more. I'm definitely glad I reached out to Mauricio for this type of job and would recommend him for any custom wood project.

He replaced a kitchen faucet, garage light, under cabinet range hood and I couldn't be happier with the results! He was extremely professional, punctual, and clearly skilled at what he does. Everything was done safely, efficiently, and with a great attention to detail. He communicated clearly throughout the process, made sure I understood what was being done and even offered helpful suggestions along the way. It's so hard to find someone reliable these days but he absolutely delivered. My home looks great. Everything works perfectly, and the whole experience was stress-free. If you're looking for a talented and trustworthy handyman, I highly recommend build Serrano Handyman. I'll definitely be calling him again for future projects.

He takes the time to explain the details so we can make the best decision for our home and to ensure there is no confusion. We are also very particular about our home and he listened to any feedback we had and adjusted to ensure we were comfortable, as this was our first project with him. He was prompt and on time every day, and he ensured he left our house clean before leaving for the day. Roberto genuinely cares and wants to give his clients the best result possible. We had a small leak in our laundry room that damaged a baseboard (unrelated to the project we were doing with him), but he took the time to look at it and provide his feedback on what we can do once we fix the leak so we don't have to remove the entire baseboard. I would highly recommend Roberto and we will definitely call him again for our next project.

Roberto visited with samples and we agreed on pricing and material. He was able to incorporate some wood and paint I had on hand. He and his team worked carefully. He accommodated non- flat walls, patched holes seamlessly, and painted expertly. I'm super happy how everything turned out. I hope work with Roberto and team again!

Following up on the superb kitchen cabinet remodel work that Next Level Custom Woodworking did for…read moreus a number of years ago, my wife and I recently commissioned them to reimagine our dated family room mantle and entertainment wall. The project scope included reengineering our old, stucco fireplace mantle and adding complementary wall paneling. The team also installed crown molding throughout our family room and kitchen spaces and new baseboard throughout our first floor. Using a single concept image that my wife and I had tucked away a while back, Brandon and his extremely talented carpentry specialist, Jesse, collaborated with us to adapt those design concepts to our family room and created a space with which we are extremely happy. We truly appreciated their frequent check-ins to align on design concept options for the finish work and their meticulous attention to detail throughout the project, which included the tireless efforts of painting specialist, Ted. We had long wanted this upgrade to our most frequently used space in our home and we are as happy with this project outcome as we were with the prior kitchen cabinet project. If you are looking for a creative and accomplished woodworking contractor to help bring your remodel visions to life, my wife and I strongly encourage you include Next Level Custom Woodworking in your bid list. We certainly will be using them again as we move to the next phase of our home remodel efforts in the coming months.

Brandon was very easy to communicate with over the phone and by text and he came to the house multiple times to verify measurements before the actual install. He also had us over at his shop to confirm materials and paint/stain color. Fun to see the working space and tools! Did not get any competing quotes but based on the scope of this custom build and what I know about craftsmanship hourly rates I think the price was a good value. We will definitely be contacting Brandon for future projects!

He was also friendly, very meticulous and just did a great job (no problems since then). I would recommend this business to anyone!

I've had bad experiences with prior repair people asking if I'm single or prying, which is absurd and unprofessional. Not only was The Meticulous Handyman professional but they were meticulous as promised. I had a long "to do" list of projects ranging from fixing sinks to aligning sagging shower doors to replacing light fixtures. Gary not only handled everything but he did a phenomenal job of multi tasking and juggling multiple projects at once. He had a run or two to a hardware store for materials but it was efficient and he didn't overcharge. I've recommended them to my neighbors and plan to have them back again soon. This was the best thing I've done for myself lately.

Woods Wizards was thoughtful and communicative throughout the process and we'd absolutely use them again.

We will definitely use him again! And I love supporting my local Hayward neighbors' businesses.
