Jose discussed what he was going to do to stabilize my piece of furniture, did the job effectively, arrived on time and left the apartment clean and tidy. He is the kind of old world craftsman who is experienced, professional and is very hard to find these days.

Jose is fantastic and easy to work with. He did professional, quality work at an amazing and affordable price. We had a porch column that had rotting wood and had detached from the roof. He was able to remove the wood, get a new piece and rewrap the aluminum cover. He gave me the estimate the day of and when I agreed, came by within 2 days and finished it that day. We will be using him for future projects.

Jose is absolutely delightful to work with. He evaluated the deck and it's needs and followed through on every assessed item. I would hire him again when the need arises.

Jose is absolutely wonderful - our project had a few glitches but he went the extra mile to guide me and give suggestions and he was finally able to complete the project. Looking forward to doing another project with him in the neat future.

Jose was great. We contacted several companies to repair a railing which had been chewed by our dogs. We received no responses, except by Martin Woodworking. Martin was definitely not Customer Service Friendly. Jose immediately responded, came out to see what we needed, provided a reasonable quote. We hired Jose and he did an EXCELLENT job...not only that he sourced the wood to be able to use wood currently in place saving us money. He gave us the "worse case" quote in case he needed to replace more than required. Thus, there would be no surprises and in fact a lower cost. He is personable, honest, excellent craftsman, quality work, reasonable. He did exactly what we wanted and gave us options to save additional money. Would DEFINITELY recommend him.

Jose is a very experienced carpenter and built a deck for me that is a fine piece of workmanship he did exactly what he said he would do! and exactly when he said he would do it! I have hired many handymen over the years Jose is absolutely the best I have ever worked with. I highly recommend JSB

I hired Jose to put in my pantry doors, realign my interior doors and fix my storm screen door. He did an excellent job. He truly cares about the quality of his work and is very reasonable with his price. I just found my handyman for future projects.

Project: Deck Repair Jose Saldana did a wonderful job repairing our old deck! He arrived as scheduled and put so much effort and quality time into his work that it once again feels new. Attention to detail is a must for him and his work certainly shows this. We are very happy to have chosen Jose for the job and highly recommend him to others. Thank You Jose!!!

He paid attention to even the smallest detail. He took away the doors he replaced after removing the handles and putting them on the new doors so they matched the doors on the opposite wall. He paid attention to every Covid preventative like a mask, slippers over his shoes, keeping his distance. I couldnâ t have been more pleased

Jose did an awesome job repairing my stairs and stopped the squeaking , he provided the estimate in a timely manner, the hand rails he placed make climbing the stairs safe, we will be calling him for other projects.
