Oleg was amazing to work with! We needed a new cabinet bottom under our kitchen sink and were working with a very tight, narrow space. He came over first thing, took the time to fully diagnose the issue, and walked us through what needed to be done.

Oleg was an absolute dream to work with!
He did a handful of projects for us at our new house. Including, building a handrail down a small set of stairs, fixing wood rot on an exterior doorway, installing an office door, and building a shelf for above our new fridge.
Oleg was easy to work with, provided very clear feedback and updates, and was on time every day. His pricing was very fair as well.
Highly recommend!!
