My husband and I reached out to Carlos to build us a custom 12-foot, floor to ceiling built-in in our condo and we could not be happier! The craftsmanship and quality is outstanding and overall, Carlos was a pleasure to work with. He understands the details and is incredibly talented/hardworking. He has elevated our space and we 100% will be using him for any additional custom projects that come our way.

Amazing work! Carlos was very professional and always kept me abreast of the project (even sending pictures of its progress). A great entertainment center that we didn’t want to part with was remodeled into a well-made bar! We constantly get compliments and people can’t believe how well it’s made.
Description of Work: Remodeled an entertainment center into a brand new bar!

Wonderful experience. Carlos is a fantastic carpenter and craftsman. I drew a sketch for my client and sent it to him. He immediately brought it to life. We had some delays due to the builder not being finished when planned.They were understanding and patient with the install. I am beyond impressed, and my clients are thrilled with the finished built ins. 10 out of 10 superior craftsmanship, and he’s a really nice man also!

Carlos and his wife are a fantastic team! They worked with me to accommodate my busy schedule which was greatly appreciated. Carlos is a true craftsman with wood work and you couldn’t find better people than him and his wife. The final product was perfect! You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your project!

Mr. Ponce is a master craftsman and a man of his word. He did far more than simply repaint our kitchen cabinets. In preparation, he meticulously prepped (sanded and patched) our existing wood cabinets. He utilized specialized furniture paint for a long-lasting and perfect finish. He replaced aging hardware and repaired a faulty rolling shelf. A trustworthy businessman. A perfectionist. He and his wife Inez are among the loveliest, kindest people I have ever met. Not cheap. And worth every penny.

Outstanding. Mr. Ponce is a master craftsman and a man of his word. He collaborated, designed, built and installed a unique, large custom shelving/cabinet unit on an entire wall in our den. A trustworthy businessman. A perfectionist. He and his wife Inez are among the loveliest, kindest people I have ever met. Not cheap. And worth every penny.

I needed a small custom cabinet, of a specific design, for my daughter's bedroom/nursery. Carlos responded to my inquiry the same day and scheduled a visit to see the project in a timely manner. He was careful to understand my design issues and drew me a sketch of the cabinet, which I approved. The project was completed in a few short weeks and the cabinet was neatly installed, precisely and securely. All in all, a pleasant and satisfying experience from a professional cabinetmaker. Highly recommended.

They were wonderful to work with. They worked with my rough sketches and measurements and brought my vision to life. All through the process they updated me with photos of their progress. And when they delivered the finished products, I was blown away but their beauty and craftsmanship.

Exceptional! Carlos is a perfectionist. He wanted to make sure I was completely happy with my table. He thought of every detail. It was installed perfectly and looks like it was there when the house was built.

Perfect. They did excellent work. Very professional and very clean as well. I don't think another carpenter could have done what needed to be done as well as Carlos did. I am extremely pleased.

It was wonderful. It was much better than I expected. I am very pleased. He was on time. All of the things that he promised were done as he said it would be done. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He did a professional work. I can't believe it has been done by hand because it looks like it came from a manufacturing company. He works with his wife as well. They are wonderful people, and they are very accommodating.
Description of Work: He did a custom wood kitchen bench, a flash nook, and a custom table as well.

I wish there were more stars to give to Carlos. He’s not only an excellent human being, but also an exceptional carpenter and magician as well. His attention to detail is simply amazing, his workmanship is impressive and the quality of his work outstanding. The piece of furniture I needed him to build wasn’t overly difficult, but when we realized the condition of the wall and the floor around it might make it more complicated - he still worked his magic and made it all work-out beautifully. He always comes accompanied by his wife, Ines, and they are both the nicest, hardest working people I have ever met. A joy to work with...A rare find these days. I just want to have more projects so I can call them again!!!
