Excellent! Alan arrived on time and had all the tools he needed for the job. I had a small bathroom cabinet that I ordered online and it needed assembly. There were many different screws and parts. He was very efficient and familiar with how it should go together. He was professional and easy to talk to. Definitely a dependable and intelligent worker.

Alan has worked on numerous projects for me and has been exceptional. His woodworking skills are unparalleled. I especially like that he is always on time and always brings all tools and supplies needed for the project. i have been impressed with his ability to turn a hopeless ugly piece of furniture into something beautiful. Alan is reliable, he will not let you down. I highly recommend him. Susan A.

Hello potential customers. Please disregard this review. The customer who kindly agreed to leave me my first review had enormous trouble submitting her review - apparently Thumbtack made her create an account and password, and none of Thumbtack's emails go to her inbox (I had to send the "submit a review" link from my own email). I submitted this in a different web browser, blissfully unaware that I would be unable to have it removed later to see if I could see what the problem was. And of course, Thumbtack has NO customer support to speak of whatsoever.
