He was able to schedule us quickly and got the job done in a very timely manner as well. We had only a few minor issues that he came and discussed with us in person, which I thought was very professional. We felt his resolution was incredibly generous. I would absolutely recommend and highly suggest his craftsmanship to anyone!

He installed and we painted, since he let us know it would cost a lot more to have him do it. I really appreciated his candor. He also was able to adapt a piece of plywood to cover the large holes left by our electrician, so we could still mount our tv above the fireplace.

I noticed there was a strange review about him talking about a "thick accent" and I can assure you he doesn't have an accent at all - LOL- (not that it matters), but I wanted to +1 to the fact the reviewer was definitely talking about some other business and guy.

For…read moreinstance if you do not know which color to paint your door, Jamie is happy to help and then paint it. He does everything with precision and detail and sticks to his timelines. He also is very honest, for instance, if you want him to build something and he thinks it will be cheaper to buy it, he will let you know. He is a trustworthy person you can feel good about inviting into your home. Jamie has pressure washed, repaired, and refinished decking, re-built railing in my attic for safety reasons, hung pictures, refinished and painted my door, has installed shelving, as well done trips to Ikea to purchase items and then set them up for us leaving behind no trace of a mess (to name a few). He is an excellent handyman and carpenter and I cannot recommend him more highly.

Jamie was patient in explaining our options and suggested a unique approach that ultimately saved us hundreds of dollars. We are grateful for Jamie's candor and professionalism.

We had excellent communication via email and phone, he was on-time, careful throughout installation, and cleaned up better than I ever could! John's also just a nice, friendly guy to have around your house - he's very considerate and even asked me when my son napped so he could get the noisier work out of the way before nap time! He also bought my son a book so he could put something on the new shelves when they were done. Could he be any nicer? And our bookshelves are perfect!!! I would recommend John 1000%.

John was building her a TV stand and some built-ins. The table was so unique, with wood grains going in different directions on the drawers, and finishing it in several stain colors. It was a work of art. The built-ins are fabulous, and the craftsmanship is old school. John kept asking us questions, to make sure he was interpreting my sister's needs accurately. John Evans was professional, on time, and a clean worker!

Scott Malatesta may be a competent woodworker, but he is not a trustworthy or responsible…read morebusinessman. I inherited a beautiful mid-century modern dining set with table, chairs, and buffet. He refinished the table and chairs a few years ago, and this year (2022) I asked him to refinish the buffet. I'm the third generation to enjoy this set, and I was hoping to leave it to my heirs--but it's not a set anymore! The buffet is MUCH darker than the table, and Scott has not taken responsibility. He has blamed the wood (they are made from the same wood) and bleaching from the sun (the table isn't in the sun), and his constant refrain is "I used the same stain." He should have noticed as he was working that the results were much darker than the original or at least that the exterior was much darker than the interior. Scott eventually said that he would have to strip it back down and redo it. I agreed and offered to send a table leaf for reference, but now he's not even responding to email. I'm afraid my next step is small claims court.
