In addition, I was very happy that he was able to take the curio to his workplace to do the repairs because with our large, very protective dog, it would have been difficult to have this work done in my house. I'm truly impressed with how he restored the curio to its original condition. This was definitely a project with all that was required; the curio had broken legs, detached pieces of metal fence-like railings, unsecured shelving, etc. To summarize, he did a super job and I highly recommend him!

I hired NJH to repair damage to a restored antique mahogany staircase in my house…read more The newel post at the end of a section of the banister had separated from the handrail and was loosed at the base. That made this section of the banister wobbly, unsafe and prone to further damage. Prior and now failed repairs with mastic and nails were an eyesore and calling for further restoration work. Ben with Kellam's supervision closely conferred with me how to do the best structural and cosmetic restoration of the banister. They dismantled the newel post from the handrail and the mounting of the post to the staircase frame, and removed old nails and mastic from the post rails joint all without damage. To remove the post, they had to remove stapled carpeting and a stair tread that they replaced without damage at the end of the job. They very securely remounted the newel post with corner backets under the stair tread and long bolts into its base covered with matching round plugs. Having so securely remounted the post and restoring the post to rail mortise and tendon, the handrail was solidly secured without the further use of mastic, nails or screws. With a few touchups to old wood putty, they then managed to remove obvious evidence of prior repairs. As this section of handrail may need a restoration replacement to match the quality of the other staircase handrails, their method of reconnection rail to the post will allow for less problematic handrail replacement without damage.

Alexander helped us execute a custom-designed floating desk and entertainment center. I did…read moreextensive research and Alexander was the only one with the skillset to help within our budget. He is booked months out on larger residential and commercial projects, so if he fits you in consider yourself lucky. Master craftsmen like Alexander are busy for a reason, and the vast majority do not take on small side projects. Take a quick glance at his work on his website and you'll see what I mean.  I loved working with Alexander. He is professional and has a lifetime of experience. This was particularly important for our project in an old building, with warped, uneven walls that were difficult to drill into. Many people told us it would not be possible to do this project, but Alexander had the skillset to make it happen. He was able to adapt on the fly and work very quickly while maintaining the quality and look we were hoping for. He is a wizard, and even took apart one of our cabinets and redesigned it upside down on the fly so it would open properly under the heavy oak desktop. I was able to watch and learn alongside him. It's like watching an artist at work. As a bonus, he has great stories about old townhouses in Brooklyn if you like architecture and history.   I highly recommend this local business. It's been several months since we completed the project. We've added a dual-screen computer plus books and other heavy objects to the desk and it is solid. The cabinets are working perfectly. I can't thank Alexander enough!

Michael was quick to respond, stopped by to give me an estimate/clearly assess the situation, and ultimately gave me two options: make the entire cover over or do this smaller fix.

I will definitely call him again if I need work done in my apartment!

Setting up an appointment was easy, price was reasonable and Michael was quick and friendly and efficient, and even gave me some pointers for how to hang things on the walls of our old pre-war apt. Between the pleasantness of dealing with him and solid work and great samples on their site, we hired Michael to design a built-in shelving unit for our living room, and simply couldn't be happier with the results. The fit is perfect and the look amazing - feel like they look much more expensive and luxurious than what they cost, both in expense as well as time/effort on our part, as Michael was so easy to communicate with. Most people might think of the phrases 'handyman' and 'craftsman' as mutually exclusive, but Michael and his company represent that rare and wonderful exception that run the gamut--equally adept at handling basic repairs as well as large-scale undertakings. You would be fortunate to hire them for any work around your home, large or small.
