Customer Reviews
"After consulting with a few companies, we found The Carpenters Touch to be the most professional in their estimate. They were competitively priced and were able to start immediately once we contracted with them. We replaced old cedar shingle with Hardie Plank, installed new gutters, general painting, and electrical work. Overall, a facelift for our home. They worked hard, displayed absolute professionalism, and cleaned up their worksite daily. Diane and Junior were good communicators, easy to work with and did a great job overall. I would highly recommend them and am considering booking them for another project at a separate location."
"How would I describe Carpenter’s Touch in one word? Fantastic. The real deal. A dream team. From the representative for sales, Luke Leon, to the owner, Heriberto Garcia "Junior", who is a true expert in all things construction and a savvy and thorough overseer who engages in the project, to the hard working, professional, dedicated and detail-oriented crew led by the meticulous foreman Luis, to the finishing touches and quality assurance, this team surpasses any other contractor I have worked with in the past. Their team turned my outdated house exterior siding and my crumbling pergola into the modern home I envisioned and my pergola is now a beautiful place to relax with family and friends. There was no detail overlooked and they welcomed any questions, concerns and ideas I had during the project. Always receptive and courteous. I also loved that the estimate didn’t take a half day (who has the time?!) and there was no pressure at the end to sign. They listened to all my ideas. Made them all happen. Didn’t charge me more than expected. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."
"I needed to improve the ventilation in our top floor attic and didn't know who to reach out to and did a general Google search. Jr and his team were very responsive, prompt, professional and the most knowledgeable in helping me understand what the issues were and what we could do to fix things, getting to the root of the issues vs some other places wanting to just do a band-aid fix. He also uncovered areas around our roof that we needed to fix, that had gone unnoticed but could possibly bite us later, which was a real help! I will definitely call this team again for any future roofing needs!"
