Best carpenters near Los Altos Hills, CA

"They did a good job of coating the deck. I'm satisfied, it was a nice job. I don't recall the cost of the work."

"Done promptly when I needed it done going the extra mile"

"Friendly Prodessional. Knows his stuff. Excellent craftsmanship. He is on board here for more work."

"The job included prepping and painting my 1400 sq ft home and picket fence. It also included demo-ing the old window boxes that were structurally built into the walls, and custom-building new ones. In addition, a garden shed that had been built onto the back of my home was also demolished. Ivan was great to work with - very collaborative and responsive and has a good eye for esthetics. The work was exceptionally high quality. The team shows up early and works hard. It was also super-convenient that Ivan is licensed in carpentry as I didn't have to deal with custom window-boxes as a separate project. Last note is that as a single woman, it is important to me to feel comfortable with the people around my home. Ivan's team, including his wife who is often onsite, are so friendly and always respectful. They will be my go-to for all future projects."

"Richard documented and itemized the work to be done in a good quote. This made it easy for me to select the priority services I wanted. While I bought the replacement door, Richard was helpful advising me what door to select, and an efficient Home Depot to get it at. Richard was patient while inspecting the work to be done, and explaining what was need. Richard began in a timely fashion, and worked with my schedule. i am very happy with the resulting door installation."

"* Genaro met with me and proposed what to put in and where. He followed up with an estimate. 
* I wanted to be sure of *where* things were going, since that wasn't in the estimate, and wanted my wife to have a chance to check in. Scheduled a second visit.
* He met with us both a second time, and we revised what exactly was going to be done. It was more stuff, so there would be a second estimate. Throughout, Genaro was very easy to work with, amenable to changes but clear about what was easy, what was hard, what would require extra work and why, what type of sprinkler/drip/etc. and why. I hoped to get a drawing out of this meeting, but the time got away from us.
* Estimate arrived. It was significantly higher, but reasonable. It still didn't say *where* things were going to go. We had talked about that and agreed on it (I thought), but I still wanted that on paper.
* I made a drawing myself and sent a scan of it. Asked for comment. Never got any reply to that.
* The usual negotiating for a start date. No problem.
* Workmen showed up on time, were respectful of plants, house, etc., and were good about taking a break when I needed to let the dogs out to pee. They never left a gate open, and no dogs escaped.  Genaro was there at the start, then left and the workmen did the rest of the work.
* Midway through the job I noticed a couple of trenches running completely across the lawn! In our discussions I understood that the lawn sprinklers would be around the lawn. That's where Genaro pointed to when he talked about how many there would be. I thought that's what I put on my drawing, but on reviewing it I guess I was ambiguous. I didn't know how many would go on each edge nor exactly where -- that's what I hoped Genaro would clarify when he replied.
* I called, he came out and we talked. Outcome: he's right about where they ought to go, but it's not what he said in either of our previous conversations.
* Job finished, cleanup about normal: it looked good from a quick look, but a deeper look found several bits of pipe, wire, etc. Some of the drip line not fully buried, date/time set wrong on the controller, etc.
* All that cheerfully fixed in a followup. The crew even cheerfully helped me with an unrelated sprinkler issue, at no charge.
* One other oddity: an ambiguity cropped up in the placement of the controller: place it so the connection to 110v is a straight line, or place it so the connection to the sprinklers is a straight line. I assumed they'd let the 110 line be straight (since it has to go inside a pipe) but they aligned the controller with the sprinklers. We were home at the time; I wish they had asked.
* It's been so wet since the sprinklers went in that I've hardly used them, but I'm going to guess that the system will provide good and trouble-free coverage of the lawn and plants.
* Summary: parts and work above average, communication below average.

"We hired Bayside Builders Group to tear down our old, rotting wood deck and replace it with a massive new composite deck, and they did a spectacular job. The picture-frame borders and the hidden fastener system look absolutely seamless. It completely transforms our backyard and gives us the perfect space for summer hosting. The crew was incredibly hard-working and finished the entire build in just a few days."

"Went above and beyond to repair broken roof ridge board, frame, and support struts."

"Repair work on deck and house stucco/wood done quickly, on time, and with high quailty."

"I had my window frames replaced, They did the job within a reasonable time, did very nice job windows look great, cleaned up nicely, professional crew. If I need any other repairs on my home I would call them and would recommend them."
