Yuri did a great job on my hot tub deck framing build. There were a lot of complex angels and measurements and some design changes along the way and it was easy to work with him throughout the process. Would highly recommend!

Yury helped us change out a couple cabinets in our kitchen and did an incredible job! He was super knowledgeable and gave us confidence that it would be done correctly. Price was very reasonable as well, I would definitely use him again.

We used Yury to install our wainscoting, and the reasons I went with him over the other contractors who quoted us were (1) he was the cheapest (but not just that); (2) his pricing was transparent (per panel as opposed to hourly, which I prefer because hourly can sometimes result in contractors intentionally taking a while on a job to make more money); (3) he asked questions that none of the other contractors had thought to ask that showed an attention to detail and desire to complete the job with an eye for an elegant look that the other contractors did not have. For reference, the first contractor quoted me $65.00 per hour and told me the job would take 12-16 hours ($780.00 to $1,040.00). Yury told me he could do the job in 4ish hours, and it took him about 4.5 in total. His pricing was $600.00 for the whole project which included removing the old baseboards, installing the 5 wainscoting panels, and installing the chair railing for our dining room only. Yury made very clear he does not do the caulking or painting, so granted his quote was cheaper, the others quotes included that, but I was happy to save the money and did the caulking and painting myself. Everything looks great, he was very punctual, his work quality was excellent, and I would definitely recommend Yury to anyone looking for woodwork, especially wainscoting/paneling! He was very kind and even did a favor for me and cut some wood for me for a personal project that I had been trying to cut for with a handsaw at no extra cost.

Yury hung cabinets, doors, & place door casing. Work was done great, all openings for appliances were correct. Yury was able to cut the paneling for the fridge for a more custom look. He was flexible with his scheduling & completed the work in a timely manner.
