Complete success.
Description of Work: Claude refaced 33 doors and replaced 15 drawers in our kitchen as well as helped on the demo. He did an excellent job in all areas. He always took the extra step and never took a short cuts. He even helped out in areas that were not in his area of expertise and did a great job. He also gave advice in other areas of my renovation that I knew little or nothing about. I will be hiring him for other renovation work in our home

Very happy with the end result.
Description of Work: I needed new cabinets and drawers for an apartment in San Clemente. Claude gave me an unbeatable quote and when the work was completed, I was blown away at how good the refaced cabinets look. There are no visible seams, the rebuilt drawers glide smoothly and the new soft close hardware works amazingly.

Description of Work: I was pleased with how quickly Clyde came to do the work and he was very knowledgeable. He also picked up the materials which was great, and he worked with my schedule for completing the work.

Description of Work: He did good work but tried to up-sell me at the end by adding in money for his time picking up materials, which was included in his quote. His wife had to intervene and tell him it wasn't right. It didn't end well. Too bad cause his work was fine.

All went just fine: Claude showed up when he said he would and did the entire job in 1-1/2 days. He used pre-primed stock, and my only gripe (and it's not much of one) is that as I painted I found a dozen or so nail holes that he hadn't filled. As with his previous cabinetry job for us, he cleaned everything up, left no mess, and was a joy to work with. Although I didn't ask other finish carpenters for bids, his price was lower than that quoted me by the hardwood floor installers and they would have used plain old builder's stock 1-3/4" molding. Claude used the milled semi-custom stuff we picked out at World of Molding in Santa Ana (good place), and didn't charge extra for the bullnose corners he had to wrap around with fancy miters.
Description of Work: Claude did a cabinet reface for us a while ago and we were so pleased with his work we asked him, without seeking other bids, to install new baseboards downstairs (about 1,000 linear feet) after we replaced our flooring. Job consisted of new 6" baseboard in kitchen, family room, living and dining rooms, laundry room, hallway, a deep closet and a bathroom, with a dozen bull nose outside corners and two 45-degree angles to wrap around.

Great...as described above.
Description of Work: Claude installed crown molding throughout our condo, molding around all doors, closets and windows, and extended our window sills. We bought a condo conversion and I felt like we were living in an apartment with no individual style (no moldings, etc.) I told Claude my vision and he did exactly what I was thinking and more. He is very creative with his work. My husband was very concerned about the corners of the crown molding, but Claude reassured us that he does the best corners/returns around; he was right!!! He is an artist. He works hard and is a pleasure to be around. Claude saw cheesy work done by previous people and offered to fix their mistakes. He is a perfectionist and takes pride in his work. We would hire Claude in a heart beat and recommend him to our friends and neighbors. Thank you Claude!!!! By the way, I saw other work done by Claude in beautiful, huge homes and he did a fantastic job.

We recently rented a new office and needed someone to install crown moulding and new baseboards. Claude met our tough timetable by giving us a bid on Thursday and completing the job two days later. The moulding came out beautifully. We would definitely use Claude again.

Excellent work. Claude shows up on time, cleans up the work area nicely, and takes pains to make sure everything looks good and fits well. Unlike many refinishes, he doesn't use moldings to hide corners and gaps where wood meets walls, he carefully hand fits it all for a true custom look, and uses real wood instead of veneer at corners and along bottom edge of cabinet openings to avoid chipping. He's cheerful, works with you to pick the best materials and colors for your kitchen, and is only a few dollars more expensive than others we received bids from who didn't propose to do nearly the amount and quality of work that he does. We would highly recommend Claude.
Description of Work: Refaced oak cabinets in kitchen with cherry. Stained and varnished new wood. Hung new doors using top-of-line European (hidden) hinges; installed door handles and drawer pulls. Rebuilt all drawers using maple for sides and backs instead of particle board. Installed drawers with full-extension nickle slides.

IT WAS EXCELLENT. FROM THE TIME I TALKED TO THEM UNTIL THE TIME IT WAS FINISHED I HAD NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. WE AGREED UPON A PRICE AND IT WORKED RIGHT INTO MY BUDGET. THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS EXCELLENT. YOU'D NORMALLY SPEND ABOUT 25-30,000 FOR THE SAME JOB. I HAD ESTIMATES. THIS GUY WAS INCREDIBLE.
