The scope of the project was extensive: all new semi custom cabinets, a new island, and new perimeter countertops, along with a complete replacement of our appliances some of which we wanted flush mounted (easier said than done). One of the trickier pieces was retrofitting a range hood, which added a fair amount of complexity to the install, but the team handled it without missing a beat. What really set this project apart was the level of coordination among everyone involved. Every craftsman on the job communicated clearly with one another, and just as importantly, Joe stayed in steady contact with my wife and me throughout the process. That kind of teamwork kept the project moving efficiently from start to finish, with minimal delays and no surprises. Even when we were out of town for part of the renovation, we never felt out of the loop as Joe sent regular updates with photos and progress notes, so we always knew exactly where things stood. The end result is a kitchen that's both beautifully finished and highly functional, and the process to get there was refreshingly smooth. If you're considering a kitchen remodel, don't hesitate to reach out to JR's, you'll be in good hands from demo day to final walkthrough.

His communication was timely, job was completed in the time estimated. We will definitely be using him for future projects. Thank you Joe and crew!!

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 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.

He and his crew arrived Friday, demo'd my old fence, and quickly got cracking on building me a new one. They went to multiple vendors to get me the best price on lumber. They were fast, courteous, and did a great job overcoming all sorts of hurdles including working around water mains and giant tree roots. Erik is a very knowledgable guy and takes a lot of pride in his work. If something didn't go exactly as he planned, he was quick to solve the problem and keep at it until it met his satisfaction. He rolled with all of my requests and was very patient in addressing my questions. Although specializing in cabinetry, it sounds as though Erik and his crew do just about everything from foundation work to painting and general construction. I highly recommend giving them a call. I'm looking forward to having Erik back for a bunch of work around the property.

He took what was a dated, awkward layout and turned it into a clean, modern space that's both functional and comfortable.

If you're looking for someone reliable who takes pride in their work and delivers exactly what they promise, I definitely recommend reaching out to German. We're really happy with how it turned out.

This guy has excellent skills, quality, and creativity. Best of all, he is among the best values you will find anywhere. I had an electrical contractor charge me $700 for half an hour. Ben might charge that for a few days work. He is super nice, young and ambitious, soft spoken, from New Zealand (complete with accent), and does what he says he will do. Handymen and home service people come and go, but after two years of working with him, I'm going to keep Ben on my short list. BTW: I hope I don't ruin him with this add (he has not yet been discovered).

Marvin knocked off each of the projects professionally w quality work. He came out a few days earlier to see what needed to be done so he could give me a reasoned quote instead of other site unseen quotes I got from unsolicited handymen on Yelp.
