Not every project is a DIY project! I could not have installed this watching the YouTube video I had him reference. Extremely happy with my folding table and cannot wait to stain it as well as add some other finishes to the room!

Mhaliek is an artist first then a carpenter. He creates work of art using wood. I am absolutely thrilled at the final results of his work. His carpentry skills are 10 on 10. He has an unforgiving quality for attention to detail. His cuts are precise and optimized for minimum wastage and cost savings. He must improve his estimation skills. I did not have enough exposure to assess his staining skills. Even though we shot our budget, I am still hiring him to make two more tables. His professionalism is commendable and an absolutely delight to work with. His commitment to work is impeccable and is punctual.

Mhaliek’s work quality is well beyond expectation. He built a perfect frame around a small wine fridge for me, even with a very minimal direction from me, and some added difficulties coming from my floor not being level, corners not perpendicular, and not enough space to perform the actual work. He was very detail oriented; caught and fixed numerous problems that could have gone unnoticed. He was also very good at communicating as he was responsive to my messages prior to coming, letting me know of the ETA, and also walking me through his plans and designs. Another thing about him that impressed me was how considerate and respectful the whole time. He kept cleaning the surrounding area by constantly vacuuming and picking up scrap pieces laying around, he asked me to roll over the carpet so that he can avoid getting dust in it and he spent a few seconds getting dust off his clothes and shoes every single time he came back into the house from cutting in the balcony. I couldn’t be happier with the result and I even asked for quotes on other projects right on the spot. Highly recommend.

Mhaliek is a very nice young man who does a great job at a reasonable price. We hired him to replace some water damaged flooring at the front door as well as the door itself. The end result is exactly what we discussed and expected, I would not hesitate to hire him again.
