He did a very good job. There was an issue but he came back and corrected it and wanted to make sure it was done to my satisfaction.

Arthur and his assistant showed up on time, were very professional and did a great job on installation. I would definitely hire him again.

The table turned out quite well. It was exactly what I had in mind. I thought to paint the bottom part of it, but the wood is so beautiful, I will poly it only. The laminate top has holes with grommets for the wires to pass under the top out of the way. There is also storage underneath on both portions of the "L". Excellent work.
Description of Work: I had Art build a sewing table that I could place my three machines on with ease.

The door looks awesome! It is much more secure and since it opens directly into my living room, it is more private as well. Plus I got a bonus in that when the carpenter rehung the door, it fits better and closes tighter.
Description of Work: I had been looking for someone to rework the exterior door to my house. It is an old door, original to the house, so it is not a standard size. But it was in need of some work. They removed the cracked bottom panel. Replaced the lower two rows of windows with milled panels. The top row of windows were also replaced with bevel, tempered glass.

I would use them again. Their price was very reasonable. He comes on the day he says he's going to come, but he doesn't respond up until that time very well. He is very reliable. He goes about his work very proficiently. He is productive. His punctuality was right on the dot. He was very respectful.

Arthur was a pleasure to work with and extremely professional. Good honest prices. The wainscoting in my dinning room looks amazing. Has a good team of workers around him. Arthur responds extremely quickly to questions/inquiries. I will definitely be using again next year for our bathroom.

Art and his team were great. Within 2 weeks of giving an estimate, his team was out doing the work. He had everything done in about a day and a half. He was very quick to work and complete the job. There were a few minor things I needed to tweak - a broken 2x4 and a not level soffit. Otherwise, great work.
Description of Work: Full framing of basement, including framing for four doors and multiple soffits.

Art was very professional and reviewed the work needed to be done prior to scheduling. He also took the time to discuss other projects we would like to do around the house. All the work was completed in the allotted time and we are very happy with the work. The guys cleaned up after themselves and also swept the floor under the tv when they were finished. Will be contacting them in the future for our next project.

I it has always gone exceptionally well regardless of the project at hand. The kitchen is gorgeous. I am in the process of hiring them again for other projects. I would highly recommend them without any reservation.
Description of Work: I thought I had submitted this review after their last service. However, they have worked on four separate projects for this writer. Each project was done thoroughly to my full satisfaction and the quality was outstanding. In their most recent project, they added a water in my kitchen, trimming and painted the kitchen. It turned out to be so beautiful that people think we remodeled the whole kitchen.

We had a wonderful experience overall. The planning and design process went really smoothly as I was able to share photos of what I liked on Houzz and Art could see those photos and my comments. His written proposal for the work took all of that information and described exactly what I had pictured in my head. The estimate was fair and reasonable for the amount of work being done. Art was flexible with changes we made throughout the process, respectful of our home and our family's needs, and very quick to respond to emails, even late at night sometimes. Art did subcontract some of the work (tiling and demo). Both Art and all of his subcontractors were polite, responsive, and on time every day. He seems to be very selective on the subcontractors he used; they all specialized in their respective areas (like tiling) and were really knowledgeable and professional. The finished project was exactly what I imagined! I'm so happy with the quality of the work and love walking into my mud room when I get home.
Description of Work: We had a pantry/laundry space changed over into a mud room. Involved demo of walls and doors, tiling of floor, drywall, lighting, a shelf, and a bench area being built and painted. Also, installed a handrail on our basement stairs.

It went very well. They installed floors, drywall, made a fabulous full bathroom with a great glass enclosed shower, a wet bar, cabinets and closets.They also installed wiring for a projector. Arthur and his crew were very courteous and professional. I also liked how his crew were very friendly and polite. They finished the work on time and did a great job! Arthur always kept in touch via email and communicated with us very well. His vendors were also excellent, especially Weinstein Plumbing and a tile store off Union Boulevard(i forgot the name)

We are so happy with the work that was done. We had a few estimates and Art's was by far the most reasonable. He was able to get us scheduled just a few weeks after the estimate was completed. He arrived on time each day, completed the work on schedule, and was very prompt with responding to all of our questions. We are in love with the unit he created and installed for us. It's absolutely beautiful, and it is exactly what we wanted. He took the time to add all the details we wanted. I would highly recommend him, and actually already have to a few neighbors. Our only very minor complaint is that he was not very forthcoming with information. I frequently had to reach out to figure out when/what time they'd be arriving, when the work would be starting, etc. He was, however, VERY quick to respond each time I had a question like this, so it wasn't a big deal!
Description of Work: Created and installed built in bookshelves with a window seat.

Everything turned out perfect!! Better than I have imagined. Art is professional, friendly, on-time & on-budget. He listens to what the customer wants. Prior to starting work on my house I sent him photos of what I wanted & I got exactly that plus more.He turned my simple living room into something that looks like it belongs on HGTV. I'm 100% happy with how it turned out.

Art came to our home to see what we currently had, he listened and took detailed notes as to what we wanted. We gave him the exact measurements, color of paint and knobs and handles we wanted. What was delivered upon completion was exactly what we ordered. It actually exceeded our expectations in the quality of the work. Art Mattes is easy to work with and the quality of his work is exceptional.
Description of Work: He custom made a kitchen island to replace the open shelved one that we had, to one that was closed with drawers and shelving in it. It also needed to include seating for two.
