Joel answered my call immediately and was able to schedule in a timely manner. He repaired my cabinet in no time for a fair price. I would highly recommend Joel and not think twice about calling him .

I would like to click on all 5. Would include punctuality and value. Joel fixed two impossible things in my kitchen. No one else would be able to do it. In addition, he did a great job. Takes his time to make it perfect. In addition, he is SO PLEASANT. Would highly recommend. Just a note. I am a prefectionist. You have to be good to please me. :))))

Joel was a great help in remodeling my kitchen. I did a total overhaul and needed as much help as I could get. Joel worked with me to figure out where he could assist and what I could tackle on my own. His experience with cabinet install and layout was invaluable. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, reliable guy for their job.

Working with Joel on installing our new kitchen was very easy, quick and professional. We used materials from Lowe’s and IKEA. He navigated the space and materials perfectly and we are very happy we decided to work with him!

Joel was great, lots of knowledge from start to finish. He measured perfectly, got all the right product ordered and installed without a hitch. Our new cabinet doors and hardware look great, and better yet he changed out the drawer sliders so they work smooth as butter. Will definitely work with Joel again in the future

Joel's craftsmanship in assembling and installing our cabinets was truly exceptional. His expertise in cabinetry shone through in a beautiful final product. He had excellent communication throughout the project, keeping us informed every step of the way and was reliable and able to problem-solve when unexpected issues arose (result of cabinet vendor not Joel). We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Joel, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. The photos speak for themselves! Thank you Joel!!

I wanted to rate Joel as top notch in all categories but the app won’t let me. Joel came when he said he would and dedicated himself full time to the job until it was done which I very much appreciated. On top of that the work done was excellent! Joel handled our demo and cabinet installation with great skill and professionalism. He pays close attention to small details like the positioning of the hardware which means the final outcome is both beautiful and a joy to use. We are extremely happy with Joel’s work.

Extremely helpful. Goes out of the way to satisfy his customers. I had a tricky cabinet installation project where care was needed to not damage the countertop. Joel helped me out and I’m so glad to have gone with Joel. Very professional and honest. Would not hesitate recommending him for cabinet projects.

In addition to putting together my new cabinet, Joel fixed a sagging door that had been plaguing me for a while and was easily pushed open during heavy winds. I am eternally grateful!

Diana V.May 2022

Joel was lovely and did a great job assembling a shed and outdoor storage bench for us. He did in a couple of hours what would have taken us much, much longer. I know because we had assembled an identical storage bench on our own first...poorly and over the course of many hours spread over weeks :-D Will absolutely hire him again!

Chris A.Oct 2019

Joel is an excellent, first class craftsman. He is also a very polite and professional gentleman He did a wonderful, professional installation of our Lowes kitchen and was a pleasure to work with throughout. We’ve had so many positive comments about our new kitchen! He is very flexible to your needs, extremely knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile, and has a perfect eye for detail meaning the end result is awesome! Hire Joel - you WILL NOT regret it!

I wouldn't have a kitchen if not for Joel - he brought his expertise and good nature to the project. He led me through the process with grace and this allowed me to make an attempt to meet him halfway. He planned the cabinet purchase down to every detail and made everything fit in my dated and irregular home like it was meant to be. When faced with stumbling blocks along the way Joel met them with a calm demeanor and creativity, easing the process along. He went beyond every hope I could have had for a designer and gave my project the consideration many wish they could get from other companies. Now I have a kitchen fit for a magazine spread and I guess it's time to up my game in the cooking department!

Jean G.Sep 2018

Well, not only did Joel assemble and install all our IKEA cabinets to perfection, he also completed many other assembly and installation jobs that followed because of his excellent work. At this point, I think Joel can pretty much do anything we ask him! And all his work was timely, efficient, and reasonably priced. Not to mention he’s a really nice guy!
