Did a good job overall. Made a mistake on purchasing the door, but quickly adjusted and rectified the mistake. Good communication throughout. Would recommend to others

Marcel did an excellent job installing wood slat panels across an entire wall in our home office. He was professional, courteous, and clearly knew what he was doing. I especially appreciated that he offered to put on shoe covers when he first came to look at the project. The finished wall looks great, the price was a good value, and we’re very happy with the result. We would definitely recommend Marcel and plan to keep him in mind for future projects.

Marcel was amazing. He worked with my tight schedule, even when I had changes, and was responsive and very easy to work with. He built some furniture for me and repaired a very damaged wall. The job was done perfectly, and he was professional and kind. I definitely feel like his pricing was fair for the excellent quality of work. I look forward to hiring him for more jobs again soon.

Marcel was very communicative and always responded promptly to my messages, which I really appreciated. On the day we scheduled the work, he let me know that he was running a little late because of traffic rather than leaving me wondering when he would arrive. He did a great job with everything I needed done, and I’m very satisfied with the quality of his work. He was professional, responsive, and reliable throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend him and would absolutely hire him again!

Marcel did an outstanding job assembling and installing a medicine cabinet in our guest bathroom. It was a heavy project that required cutting into the wall, and he handled it with the highest skill and care. The finished result looks fantastic and professional. I was thrilled with the quality of his work and will definitely hire him again for future projects. Highest recommendation!

Excellent work! He did several things for me and they all came out great. Painting, plumbing, assembly. I would definitely hire him again. Totally recommend his services!

Thumbtack customerApr 2026

He was professional and communicated things well. When he was going to arrive late & when the store no longer carried what he quoted us for. So it did end up costing more and would take longer. The mailbox installation was done well and looks great, which was an add on job. He over sanded the door which left warped looking spots, but overall had a good experience. the door staining turn out good overall.

Thumbtack customerApr 2026

Marcel completed various tasks around our home that were quality in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. He was very helpful and I highly recommend him.

Thumbtack customerApr 2026

I had booked services and he refused to come out and do the job. He showed up two hours late and I was stuck scrambling to try to get somebody else to make the repairs. I would suggest not being fooled by this person with a low quote or estimate I found him to be very unprofessional.

Thumbtack customerMar 2026

Marcel did an excellent job with both the drywall and painting. He was very meticulous and detail oriented. He was professional and produced quality work. We will be asking him back to complete more home repairs soon.

Thumbtack customerMar 2026

He did a great job putting the Murphy bed together and paid attention to detail. We are ecstatic with the results. What I really appreciated was the level of professionalism and kindness that he exhumed. The job took longer than expected but he worked through it all without stopping and no complaints. Work ethic is phenomenal. We will be hiring him for more jobs!

Thumbtack customerFeb 2026

Marcel did an amazing job assembling my bookcase. He was fast, professional, and left everything spotless — even taking the trash out. He was able to come the same day, and his prices were very reasonable. Such a great experience — I would absolutely use him again!
