Joseph and Maria provided an amazing experience. I wanted to extend my patio and they did not disappoint! They were professional, responsive, and delivered high quality work. Everything was completed in the stated time frame, looks great, and the work space was left clean and tidy. The extension exceeds expectations and added some much-needed living space. Highly recommend!

The Oak Standard removed a wall and added a structural beam to open up my dining room to the kitchen. I had a great experience working with them. The project happened very quickly and it looks incredible.
Oak Standard was able to quickly do a complete demo & remodel of our master bath. They had both the lowest quote & the best schedule for the project so we could put our house on the market prior to the Labor Day weekend.

★☆☆☆☆ I hired The Oak Standard for an extensive renovation of my home. My experience involved serious workmanship problems, disputed billing and unresolved completion items. The most concerning issue was the balcony framing. An independent structural engineer inspected the beams and documented layered 2x4 construction, failed adhesive, inadequate load capacity and excessive deflection. The engineer concluded that replacement was required. The corrective work also required removing brand new glass railings, deck flooring and portions of the wood ceiling. Other problems included a fireplace that remained nonfunctional after repeated attempts to get it working, unfinished trim, and damage to existing finishes. I documented numerous issues directly with the company. I actually had to call the subcontractor for the fireplace myself and have them come back out because I got no response from Joseph. During my review of the invoices, I identified duplicate cabinet charges. Joseph acknowledged that the cabinets had been billed twice and said the duplicate charges were removed. Reconciling the billing required substantial time and effort on my part, and other billing questions remained unresolved. Greg Fulk assisted with billing for The Oak Standard. In my dealings with him, I did not receive clear, job-specific explanations that reconciled the charges with the work actually completed. I questioned charges for unfinished work and apparent overlap between invoices and change orders. Having a separate person assist with billing did not resolve those concerns. Communication deteriorated as the billing dispute continued. I received messages demanding immediate payment while documented completion and correction items remained unresolved, including one telling me to “pay the damn thing.” I found that response unprofessional. This review reflects my experience as the homeowner and the issues documented during my project. Based on that experience, I would not hire The Oak Standard again.

Maria and Joseph and the entire Oak Standard team are wonderful! We had a full kitchen remodel done with them, and are extremely happy with the result. Maria was great to work with for the design, she helped us visualize the kitchen and made our visions come to life. Joseph and the team opened up our tiny 1950s kitchen by removing a chimney, opening up a wall and adding a large kitchen island. The cabinetry, countertops, and tiling work are great. Oak Standard was flexible and worked with us to stay in our budget, utilizing our current flooring and kitchen appliances. Maria and Joseph were responsive and prompt, the project was completed very quickly, the workers were respectful and clean, and the end result is exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend Oak Standard! Thank you Maria and Joseph!
