With over 25 years of hands-on experience, I love turning your ideas into custom pieces you’ll enjoy for generations. Whether it’s building one-of-a-kind furniture, crafting or installing cabinets, or handling detailed finish carpentry, I’m focused on quality, durability, and clean workmanship. I’m also happy to help with the small things—fixing a sticky drawer, hanging a picture, or refreshing a favorite piece with careful refinishing. As a one-person shop, you work directly with me from start to finish, so nothing gets lost in translation. If you have a project in mind—big or small—reach out and let’s talk about how to bring it to life.

Nice work!
His prices no where comparable to market, just to change bathrooms door and frame he asked $1750 , I check with other handyman they charged $250
Loved working with Klein - he was respectful, knowledgeable, professional, and detailed. My kitchen cabinets look soo great. He worked with my schedule and budget to timeline. Highly recommend
Replied quickly and did a fine job!
We are very happy with the final bookcase. We worked together to create a design that fit the space, matched the existing banister, maximized shelf space and created strong first impression as you enter the house. On top of that his team left the house very clean.
Working with Klein and his team was a great experience! He was very responsive, quick, and professional. He helped us make some custom changes to furniture that we bought to make it work in our space. We were able to pick a time fairly quickly, his team arrive took the items and had the work done the next day! Pictured are the shelves the adjusted to be a custom size.
I highly recommend Nick for cabinetry work. He resized a kitchen cabinet. It required removing an old cabinet wedged between others and nothing got damaged. High quality work all around and really pleasant to have work in the house. Always cleaned up well.
Not only what Nick's work quality top notch, but the entire process from first contact to final result was easy, comfortable, beyond expectations, and just great. From the beginning, Nick was communicative and professional. The project last a week and the whole time I would receive progress updates without asking for them - mind blown. Thanks for everything, Nick, and very much looking forward to the next project with you.
My experience with Klein’s woodworking has been absolutely fantastic! He got everything done ahead of schedule, to the highest woodworking quality, and with constant communication. Further, Klein’s versatility in being able to take on essentially any wood working project is extremely impressive. Couldn’t more highly recommend Klein’s woodworking for any projects!
I reached out to Nick because I wanted to build a custom coffee table around a cork board I made. He was responsive to my initial request and then gave me great guidance on the project as a whole. Throughout the process he kept me in the loop and confirmed many different details about the table to ensure it met my expectations. I was blown away by his thoroughness and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Nick for custom work like this; he's amazing!
Nate made my kitchen a dream by building and installing drawers in my lower cabinets! Love them!! Then he made my closet interiors an actual usable space 🥳 Next…remodel of my wet bar 🥰
Nicholas did a great job on our cabinets. We just needed hinge replacement and he was flexible and even came back same day to take care of an additional hinge. Would hire him again in the future as the need arises. He's pleasant and professional and quick
We recently hired Nicholas to build and install 10 new kitchen drawers, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He was extremely responsive and very easy to work with from start to finish. Throughout the process, he kept us well informed and regularly updated us on the progress he was making in his shop, which we really appreciated. The drawers were built perfectly to our specifications, and he made some minor adjustments during installation to ensure everything fit and functioned flawlessly. He also took the time to clean up thoroughly after the work was completed. His craftsmanship and attention to detail really show in the final product. Overall, we are very satisfied with his work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for skilled, reliable carpentry services.
Richard helped us with our kitchen pull out drawers he was really professional helped us with the right choices and made super quality stuff, recommend him for future projects.
1. Responsive- Nick was super ressponsive and prompt abouy everything. He came out within an hour as he was nearby and provided me a quote instantly. He was super responsive throughout the process and was always just a text away for any and all questions. 2. Price - I had 5 other contractors take a look and provide a quote, nick was priced fairly. 3. The work - Nick was super professional about the work. He explained to me everything on how he would be planning to approach it and knew what he was doing. He made sure he left my kitchen as clean as possible. Finished up my cabinets and the countertop and the portion he worked on is superior in craftsmanship than the rest of the previous work on the cabinets and countertop. I would highly recommend Nick to all thumbtack community nearby looking for cabinetry work.
Amazing work! Our floating cabinets were starting to separate from the wall and so I put in an urgent thumbtack request. Nick called me within 5 minutes, and was out next day for an assessment. He is super prompt, professional, and the quality of the work is unmatched. Would 1000% recommend for any of your cabinet needs.
I needed this entry table cut down to fit my space. Nick was quick to respond to my request, easy to work with and gave clear communication about my options. He even sent me photo and video updates along the way! Overall great experience and the table turned out perfect. Thank you, Nick!
Excellent to work with and a perfect product. Asked all the right questions and installed over 2 days at my home. A complete professional I would consider using again!
I had a devastating experience with Nicholas Klein. I would give him a negative rating if there was that option. I hired him to remodel my garage to have play area for my little girl who was about to turn 4. That meant putting new cabinets, replacing lights, plumbing, putting new floors and repainting the whole area. Let me just say, this man has no idea what he was doing. The contract was signed Sept 9 2022 and work was supposed to be completed by Nov 1st 2022. Work commenced on Oct. 1st where he started with demolition. After that, he picked the first down payment. Then he disappeared for a whole for a whole 2 weeks. When I inquired what was going on, he told me that he was in his workshop working on the cabinets, thus the delay. After a lot of push and pull for him to get started on the garage, he managed to send people . The lights took two weeks to complete. Plumbing and floor guys were fine. And every time something little was done; Nick would come and demand more money claiming that he is running out due to numerous obligations. And when I mentioned that is not what we agreed on he would go into a rage. I felt like a hostage and would end up obliging for work to continue. Nov 1st came and garage was not painted no cabinets were installed. I reached out to Nick, and he pleaded that I give him one more week to paint and install the cabinets. He came on Nov 3rd and he did the worst paint job I have ever seen. He painted on everything on his path, door handles, refrigerator, washer and dryer, garage sensors and the most drastic, the new floors were covered with patches of paint destroying them completely. Nothing was spared. The garage doors were partially painted. I was horrified when I saw the floors. There was no way of removing the paint. He attempted to remove the paint from the floors but he just ended up scratching the floors. Nick disappeared again and he showed up on Nov 8th demanding more money for him to complete the cabinets. He also declared the week for thanksgiving as the new date to deliver the cabinets. I said that I would agree to those terms if I visited his workshop and see the progress. Alternatively, he could send the pictures of the cabinets. Being custom cabinets, I would be able to see the size and note the progress. Neither was provided by Nick I realized Nick has no workshop or tools to build cabinets. He usually rents from Home depot Nick is very sloppy and never cleans after himself. The work area is left in a mess Nick is not a contractor; he is just masquerading as one. He is just a conman with a gift of the gab. He has mastered the skill of persuasion. Nick will always try to convince you to pay him in cash which I refused but he has a lot of enablers that let him keep his con game alive. All his references praised his work which makes me doubt their authenticity. His mum manages his finance and deposits all checks. Even Nick’s phone is under his mum. His digital footprint is limited Nick does not keep time; he calls you at 9:00 am and says that he is on his way just to show up at 3:00 pm in the afternoon. He does not respect anybody’s time. His background report shows that he uses a lot of illicit drugs which makes him belligerent. I have a video of him yelling outside because I questioned his paint work. Nick is very chaotic and will rock your world with his chaos. It is clear this will go to litigation. I’m out of $23000, no floors, shoddy paint work and no cabinets. But I’m trying to save the next person. Reach me at eknjenga( domain is gmail)
