Benji and his partner did a great job adding crown molding to our living room. Responsive, on time, and professional.
I’ve added a picture, but please note that we are having our ceilings smoothed and walls painted so we did NOT have Benji paint the molding.
Details: Crown molding • Drywall • I'm flexible • This is just an installation job - no design needed • Solid wood • Engineered wood • As recommended by carpenter • 41 - 80 ft • I do not need it painted or stained

Benji helped me with painting and creating a archway in my hallway. I am very pleased with his work. I will say it took longer than expected but he was very accommodating with my timeline.
Details: Chair or picture rail (less common) • Wainscoting (less common) • Drywall • No, I will need the carpenter to provide the molding or trim • Yes, I need help designing the molding or trim • Solid wood • As recommended by carpenter • I would like it painted

Having hired multiple pros through thumbtack, I’ve learned that responsiveness and communication really are key for a good experience, and Benji is one of the best. I hired him to finish stripping, sanding, and then stain some original door and window trim in my apartment. He and his assistant Angela were always responsive about the job, timing, and my questions. He’s very soft spoken and easy to work with, and did a great job on what I asked. The price was fair and included more than other pros, and most importantly I felt good leaving original, historic wood details in his hands. And, a true professional, offered to come back and fix things if I identified any issues. I would not hesitate to hire Benji again!

Mr. Benji and his team are top tier. We couldn’t have asked for a better installation team. We had complicated set up and they used their considerable skills and knowledge to make things fit as if they were always there. We plan to hire him again!
Details: Dining / living room • 11-15 • No, my cabinets are already assembled • Both wall and base cabinets • No existing cabinets to remove or I will remove them myself • Residential

Benji is probably one of the most talented carpenters I've met in this business. His business manager, Angela runs a tight ship, so please know what you want when you reach out. Benji and his counterpart Omar are two really nice Caribbean guys that are super focused and know their craft. My skylight turned out beautiful. I would hire this duo again in a heartbeat. Thx again Benji/Angela/Omar. You all are a winning team. 🙌🏽
