Found Precise Carpenter by reading the online reviews and SO glad we chose them to help with our kitchen upgrade.
Run by Sam & Dani as a family business, they did the following work for us:
1. Installed a range hood (we purchased) and the ducting with an external exhaust vent.
2. Extended our kitchen cabinets to the ceiling (hiding the duct) with new crown molding.
3. Removed 1 upper cabinet and build a custom designed pantry which included a pocket door cabinet for appliances and a pull-out drawer with 4 refuse bins (to separate trash & recycling).
4. Painted all the cabinetry & kitchen island (we picked the paint and they purchased it -- Benjamin Moore Rock Gray in semi-gloss). This included all the cleaning, prep, and priming.
5. Added soft close for all cabinetry door and drawers.
6. Replaced all cabinet door and drawer handles (we purchased), including filling the old holes and new hole drilling for the new, larger handles.
7. Added side paneling on the ends of the cabinets & island to for a professional finish to the original builder-grade design.
They were prompt, professional, and engaging. They closed off the area to help keep the rest of the home clean, including papering the floors in the work area as well as a paper walkway to our front door. They were patient and detailed, walking us through any design questions and keeping us informed on their scheduling and progress.
We were very impressed that for the custom built-in pantry, they made trim pieces for the cabinet doors and drawers that matched our existing door trim. They took the extra time to get all the details right to ensure proper fit and look.
They breathed new life in our kitchen and it feels so new, modern, and like a separate space within the larger open layout.
Dani & Sam are absolutely fantastic and we plan to rehire them for some of our other carpentry home renovation needs. We are also recommending them to others in our community.

14 July 2023 update:
Sam & Dani came to the rescue again. This time, I did a poor job of cutting crown molding for a bathroom project and I called them to help out. Not only did they come the next week at a fantastic rate, but they also went to the molding store for me (Molding Inc in Beltsville) when I didn't have enough crown molding left for the job. read more
