"I recently moved to a condo. My closet doors kept getting stuck and needed work. My condo building maintenance team looked at the closets and told me the only way to solve the problem was to replace the closet doors. I did not know what to do. I located TORO CARPENTRY LLC on the BBB website. TORO CARPENTRY LLC - Jaime looked at the closet problem and found a solution without replacing the closet doors. Jaime’s Team did a great job and guaranteed the work. I am very happy withTORO CARPENTRY LLC and would recommend them to anyone."

"Jose is very accommodating- thorough- I wanted two shelves attached to my kitchen soffit to salt and pepper shakers in my kitchen- he measured very carefully, painted the wood and they were placed with precision- Jose is kind and when he was going to need an extra day to complete he gave me enough notice- he cleaned up and I would highly recommend him for all your carpentry needs."

"We used Eric and his team to give our house a complete face-lift...new kitchen, new bathrooms, wood floors, new doors, window framing, painting, can lights...I'm sure there is more that I am forgetting. They did AMAZING work! Eric and his guys are professional, the communication was great, the finishing touches elite, and the job was finished on the date he said it would be done (which is unheard of). I recommend Eric to all of my friends and I will continue to use him for projects that come up in our house."

"I felt confident that they would do a good job. I was not on-site and left them alone in my condo to install the crown molding. They did keep in contact with me via text with questions and pictures. They were true professionals! They did an excellent job!!"
