Get matched with top carpenters in Sherman Oaks, CA

"They do not work on â  buildingsâ  . I was calling on behalf of a townhome association."

"Isaac is an incredibly thoughtful, honest, and effective craftsman. We called him after we noticed leaks in our roof after a heavy rain. We checked with 4 other contractors, and Isaac’s price was thousands and thousands of dollars cheaper. He came timely and did efficient and effective work. More than that, when it rained lightly after he completed the job, he’s offered to come back for free to add another coat, just in case the rain impacted his job. He didn’t have to do it, but he wanted to make sure he got the job done well. Because of his honesty, integrity, and hard work, he’s going to be our first call for contractor work."

"Tony at TME Construction was very professional, accurate and reasonable with his price quotes, and accurate with his project time line estimates. As always with these extensive remodeling projects, there were a few hiccups along the way, but his response and ability to adapt to our changes and requests without adding on any significant cost to the total made us very satisfied at the end. Tony's and his team are top notch and the quality of work that they produce are second to none. Here's the full story of how it went. My wife and I purchased a home with the plan to remodel the entire kitchen and replacing the carpet/tile with wood flooring. After we had placed the order in for the cabinets and the appliances we wanted, we started to look at contractors who could perform the entire job and spoke to 4 different contractors and got various quotes. Tony at TME Construction wasn't the cheapest quote we got, but he also was not the most expensive. He was just around the average price quote we got. What made us eventually go with him was a combination of his numerous reviews, his knowledge and experience with kitchen remodeling projects, and his reasonable price. When I agreed to hire him, I told him that I wanted to use my own painter and my own electrician. This was because I felt that his quotes for painting were a bit higher than I got from another painter that was recommended to me, the same with the electrical work. The tricky thing about hiring a general contractor like Tony, and then also hiring out your own sub contractors, is now you need to coordinate all of the parts. At first, this seemed doable, and it went okay. But eventually, I started to see the flaw in my thinking because the few thousand dollars that i saved by hiring my own electrician, painter, and demolition person, ended up causing me a lot more grief in the end. So the way that my electrician had run the wires through the walls, didn't work for the way that the cabinets were being hung. So Tony had to fix the work of my own electrician. Luckily, he didn't charge me an arm and a leg.. maybe just a couple of fingers. If I had to do it all over again, I would just let Tony handle everything from the beginning, despite the higher cost. Tony's team is very competent. You could tell by the quality of work when it came to installing the cabinets and making sure they were all lined up properly, to installing the giant countertops, to making sure that the appliances were all installed correctly. What I liked about the way Tony works is that he hires the expert he knows for a particular job. He does not have a bunch of generalists that can do everything. He has a specific tile guy, a specific electrician, a specific cabinet installer, etc.. What this means is you get very knowledgeable people for each job. In addition, Tony himself is on the job and doing the work as well even though he technically could have his employees do it for him. He was there checking the work at every stage and making sure that things were done correctly. If something was not right, he would have someone redo the work until its right. The estimated time to complete the full kitchen remodel was about 3 to 4 weeks. It ended up an extra week and a half due to circumstances out of his control. We were waiting on parts that didn't come in time. Even after I had paid him in full, which was after the job was completed, he was still very responsive and dealt with any questions I had regarding things that I had issues with. For example, our Thermador freezer's ice maker was not working. I called Thermador first because I thought that the ice maker was broken. Thermador sent someone out and the person said there was no water coming in from the line. So I called Tony back and said that the water line was not hooked up correctly. Now with a 60" fridge and freezer, this was no easy task to remedy. Tony sent 3 guys from his team to look at the problem. They pulled the massive fridge and freezer out from wall to diagnose the problem and eventually figured out that the person who I hired to demo the original kitchen, also removed the line that sent the water from the sink to the back of the fridge. They added a new line to make the connection and the ice maker was fine. Despite this not being Tony's team's fault, he was still willing to send his team to remedy the problem because he cared about our overall satisfaction as a customer of his. If I have another major remodeling job in the future, I would not hesitate to hire Tony at TME again. In fact, I recommended Tony to another friend of mine who wanted to remodel his kitchen, and Tony did a great job there as well. The only thing I'd do differently is not try to hire my own workers to make the job cheaper, because it just added unnecessary complications and it didn't really save me money in the end."

"Encore Builders, especially Brandon and Ozzy, deserve all the praise in the world! We recently purchased a home and the sidewalk area was looking quite frumpy. I decided some artificial grass would be a nice clean touch. I did a quick Yelp search and found encore builders. I also looked at their instagram account and was amazed at some before and afters. Although this is a small job I knew theyâ d be perfect for it. Brandon and Oz arrived at the time we had set and gave me an estimate on the spot! They told me the job would only take a few hours and sure enough their crew was in and out. It was painless and Iâ m so happy that the exterior of our home matches the look and feel of the home itself. I have recently acquired a few properties I plan to rent out and will be sure to give Oz and Brandon a call. They really are the best. You can tell right away that they are truthful and trustworthy. 5/5 stars easy!!!!!"

"We decided to install an outdoor kitchen and needed a solid base. The crew created a large concrete slab that measured around 400 sq. ft. They first excavated, installed a compacted gravel base, and added rebar before framing everything out. Drainage slope was included so water doesn't pool, and they ensured utilities could run through conduit before the pour. The slab was finished with a smooth surface since it will later be tiled. Permits were pulled in advance, and city inspectors signed off at every stage. The process took a few weeks, and the space is now ready for the kitchen installation. The precision in layout and attention to detail stood out to me. It feels like we've got a reliable foundation for years of outdoor use."

"All tasks performed quickly and professionally. In addition, Marco purchased at his own expense a doorknob, provided extra caulking, matched the paint for the drywall patch, and repaired a stair nosing without being asked. We have other household repairs and feel confident in using Marco."

"We did a whole kitchen remodel. David was very knowledgeable and recommended a wall removal which completely changed the look of our kitchen and opened it up. Everyone that worked on the kitchen was very professional and they stuck to their schedule. They were pretty quick getting us back in our kitchen and it turned our beautiful. I absolutely love my kitchen and I am so happy I chose CA Cabinets."

"Excellent company, well organized and super professional people! these are the exact words that we want to write on how to express our appreciation for the remodeling that we did at our house with INA Kitchens (Eran as supervisor) We highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking on hiring someone for any remodeling project."

"Raul was on time . He went right to work and finished quickly. I plan to hire him for a bigger job, now that I know he is also a carpenter. I would definitely recommend."

"I’ve had Mr. Handyman do work at a number of my houses over the years, and they always provide the best of the best service. I am not willing to risk the safety of my family or the quality of my home to an unknown, unlicensed handyman service, and the handymen at Mr. Handyman are all background-checked and guaranteed. Cannot recommend them enough!"
