However, the two pieces of feedback that I shared with Jacob and Bill were: 1) punctuality of the workers. The project involved several parties for each phase of the project, and Jacob provided me with start time windows each day, plus names of the workers. Except for the stainers, everyone showed up after the start window (which in turn impacted my work day) and I had to call Bill or Jacob to see when the guys would actually be showing up. 2) Cleanliness (or, lack thereof) - if there was a "cleanliness" category above, I would have provided them with a C or D rating in this category. I understand that with woodwork and any remodel that there is an expected level of dust; however, it appeared to me that some of the workers made minimal effort to seal off my house to protect what they could, or did not attempt any sort of clean up when they were finished. It is pretty easy to seal-off the rest of my house from the stairway and it was apparent that this wasn't done or wasn't done well. I had a significant level of dust throughout my house (in places that I wouldn't have expected), which was the biggest challenge of the project. Additionally, I had new hardwood floors installed after the banister work was complete (a project which also lends to a lot of dust and dirt) and my house was significantly cleaner after the flooring project. Lastly, the drywall guy dumped the remnants of his work in my kitchen sink, which still had dishes in it, and did not bother to even rinse the sink - not good considering there was a garbage disposal there, too. To be clear, I am including these two areas of criticism for Jacob/Bill to ensure their workers get the feedback, as well as to provide full transparency to others who select So Cal Stairs. However at the end of the day, the quality of the project GREATLY outweighs these two feedback points and I consider them to be minor in the grand scheme of things. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend So Cal Stairs for high quality workmanship on my new banister.

The other company (Antimite??) spent about 5 minutes looking around before coming to the conclusion that I should tent the house at a cost of some $3,600. (Not to mention the inconvenience of bagging up your food and vacating the house.) In other words, it wasn't an inspection, it was a sales pitch.
Tri-Pacific was the opposite. The inspector spent the better part of an hour poking at the woodwork, looking under the house, giving the place a thorough once-over. When they came back with an estimate, it was detailed and completely reasonable -- $1,100. No tenting was required. There were just a couple of areas of termite infestation and a few areas where the wood was rotted and needed to be replaced (to avoid termites in the future). They did the work promptly, were clean, courteous, professional and did a great job.
But there was a problem. The owner of the company came to inspect toward the end of the job and found an area of termite infestation that had been missed in both the estimate and repairs. He talked with me personally, showed me where it was and explained that he felt he had to make the additional repairs -- whether I paid for them or not. He was going to stick with his original estimate, but just do several days more work. I was so impressed with his integrity and the fantastic work done by this company that I agreed to pay an extra amount -- essentially at the company's cost -- for the additional work.
I have hired them to do the inspection and work on the house I'm buying and would recommend them, without any reservation, to anyone needing termite inspections or repairs.

"The team at Cabinet Refresh was terrific, from the original estimating process through the finished kitchen and family room cabinet painting project. This was a kitchen upgrade with all new, high-end appliances. I wanted to change the look and feel after 20 years and increase the home’s value. At all levels there was honesty, trust and great communication. Carol did the estimate and was welcoming in answering all my questions and providing suggestions when needed. She made me comfortable knowing that they could do all I was rfequesting, including making a custom panel for my new Sub Zero that matched my existing cabinetry. Armondo and Melvin were always on time, neat and with a can-do attitude when little things came up. It was a pleasure having them in my home. I would use that team again without question! And for the cabinetry work, there is nobody better than Julio. New door hinges installed to perfection, new pulls aligned the way they should be and a terrific mounting of the custom Sub Zero panels. Everyone loves the new look. For my next project Cabinet Refresh will be the only ones I call."

FAQs for woodworking projects in La Canada Flintridge, CA
The average cost to hire a woodworker for a project in your home is around $65 per hour, but hourly rates can range from $35 to $250 or more, depending on the experience and skill of the woodworker. Your total woodworking project cost will depend on the complexity of the work, the type of wood, the number of projects, and any other materials your project requires. You could hire a professional woodworker to create everything from a custom cabinet to ornate, unique staircases.
Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
Every woodworker has different skills and experience, so we recommend asking the following questions when hiring a woodworker for your project:
How long have you been in the woodworking industry?
What experience do you have with my type of project?
Do you have customer references I can speak with?
How long do you expect my project to take?
What is my recourse if I have an issue with your work?
Do you charge hourly or per project?
Will you work on-site or in your own workshop?
Does your fee include the necessary post-job clean-up?
While they perform similar tasks, a carpenter is responsible for the woodworking that goes into construction—like framing, installing sheathing, and hanging kitchen cabinets—while a woodworker tackles more intricate and custom projects—like building custom furniture and installing wainscoting. Based on these definitions, most woodworkers can tackle the jobs of a carpenter, but you should always ask about your specific project when choosing a woodworker to ensure they have the necessary skills to tackle the job.
It may seem simple to install trim, wainscoting, and other finishing wood in your home, but the work is complicated and often frustrating. Getting small trim pieces to line up evenly without gaps and look streamlined in a finished product is a real challenge for DIYers, even if you have the necessary tools. We recommend hiring a professional woodworker for these more intricate projects. They’ll get the job done more quickly, and they’ll have the experience necessary to make everything look neat and clean to add more value to your home.
