One of my tenants wrecked my place upon moving out and Matt quickly helped repair many areas of the property to get it ready for showings and move-in.

While this company's concierge service was decorating a local Saratoga house (as they do every…read moreyear) with mostly absent homeowners, one of the staff they employ to do the work was absolutely rude to a neighborhood of year round Saratogian residents. Using a lift crane to decorate their customers home they completely blocked the street for hours and yelled at the residents to "go around the block" and at one point even gave the middle finger to two of us. Rather than say "sorry for the inconvenience and would you mind going around temporarily", they chose to be extremely rude. I find this unacceptable for a company that touts themselves as "local".

Everybody's contractor experience is unique so please read my review with this in mind…read more We moved to Saratoga in 2009 and bought a "problem" home... a Victorian which had been carved into units by owners who had little regard for the integrity of the building. Our goal was to restore it to its original liveability as a single family home. Teakwood has a reputation as expensive and our initial bid, to do everything on a wish list, was pretty high. But they worked with us and a revised bid was significantly lower and we went with them. This bid entailed a clear-eyed distinction between "need to" and "nice to" improvements so we ended up with a price we were happy with. The quality of the work, both by Teakwood carpenters and their subs, is superb. Teakwood has a philosophy of assigning a master carpenter to oversee the job and our guy, Dan Decenzo, could not be better. Josh, the guy who did a number of built-ins, is a master of his craft and we now have benches and bookcases that look like they have been there 130 years like the rest of the structure. We were offered a 1 year satisfaction guarantee and I'm prompted to write because, well over 1 year after the fact, Dan has been back recently to fix a couple minor things. Bottom line, we are really happy with Teakwood and would definitely recommend you bid out your project to them.

We hired BK Painting to paint between ceiling beams in our kitchen. They are a very professional…read moreteam of experienced painters.

They said 1 coat of their recommended paint would do it. My wife and I left the house just after they arrived right on time 8am. They used drop clothes and a sander (with vac attachment) and were very neat in their work. They finished the work and left before I returned at 1pm. My wife returned as they were finishing the job just before noon (4 hrs). She pointed out places that they had obviously missed. Brian went over those with a small roller while she was standing there. They didn't have a light on at the time. They also said that they put 2 coats on rather than one and still missed spots. They were paid in full as they left. After they left, I returned home and we found more spots missed where the crown molding meets the ceiling, actually using a light. My 74 year old wife spent 40 minutes up on a ladder touching up the remaining places they had missed, with the small amount of paint they left us. Today (4/30/26) My wife had a phone conversation with Brian during which he offered No remedy Or apology. He said $169 an hour is what a garage charges for your car so their prices are reasonable. I didn't see 1 wrench around. Apples to Oranges. We have family moving to the area in need of a painter and Will Not recommend BK Painters.

The final result was just superb and we could not be more pleased with the quality of work and with the friendly and hard-working gentleman on this job. We think highly of Bennett because of their exceptional work.
