    a living room with a fireplace and bookshelves
    Joshua P.

    We wanted to build a bookshelf from floor to ceiling and wrapping over our fireplace, and we wanted to do it with antique crates. The first carpenter we consulted thought we were crazy, and we were starting to lose confidence in the whole thing. Enter Joel. He immediately bought into our idea and brought it to life with inspired decisions about layout, color, and practicality. He has an excellent sense of style and design. He's also just a really cool person to have around, and we enjoyed hanging out with him while the job was happening. He and Soto brought a great sense of professionalism to ironing out the visual loose ends of this project and making sure that we were happy with the final product. We also especially appreciated his integrity in offering an honest and detailed quote, including an explicit breakdown of the materials. We felt that we could really trust him. And most of all, we are so happy with the bookshelf!

    We hired Joel to build us a built-in bookshop in our house and he was great. He was very thorough and helped us through the process because we weren't sure exactly how we wanted it to look. He is an expert wood worker and really took his time to make sure our bookshelf looked perfect. I would recommend Joel for any home improvement project.

    Joel built two bookcases for us- one floor to ceiling unit and one bannister bookcase that replaced our ugly, wobbly bannister. We love the work he did! We called him back soon after to hang some large paintings along the staircase wall. I am posting photos of both jobs. He did a great job. Thanks, Joel!

    I had Joel install crown molding in multiple rooms and am very happy with his work. I typically do my own work in my home, as I am very particular, but crown is something I don't mess with. Joel is friendly and reliable and very fair with what he charges. Will definitely be using him again with upcoming projects! More photos to come when rooms are finished.

    New kitchen...love it

    Joel is da man! Great guy, reasonable prices, great work! He redid the kitchen in my rental house, and it now looks awesome. He was also very good at keeping me in the loop as to what was happening...which is key, as I live in Denver, and I was updating a kitchen near Venice and La Brea. If I could give him ten stars I would!

    I am a professional organizer and this was the first time I had used a handyman to complete a job. Joel was great, offering me a fair price and completing the job even though it took twice as long as I anticipated. He handled unforeseen issues with ease and was very flexible. As a new business he even offered me tips/tricks on dealing with clients and was always very friendly and open. I definitely recommend The Fly Fishing Handyman and will be using him again in the future!!

Strait-forward and honest communication throughout project from Derek and Nicole was great. I have a small home in an historic district that needed structural repair, new siding and trim, and other attention. Derek's willingness to approach the project in sections to help me determine affordability options was a great stress reliever. The quality of work, his team of professionals, and his willingness to help navigate the historic requirements and restrictions was amazing! They worked to schedule-as unpredictable Adirondack weather allowed, and kept in close contact to keep me updated. I had looked into using LaFountain Builds earlier, but when I saw the level of work they do, I was certain I could not afford them. Big mistake! You definitely get what you pay for! I wasted a great deal of money and time going with someone else first that wasn't able to do the work and made things worse. Can't recommend LaFountain Builds enough!

Derek was often able to make recommendations on upgrades such as insulation and wiring that will save us money in the future.
