Best carpenters in California: find options near you

We had a wonderful experience with our handyman! He was extremely nice, professional, and efficient. He arrived on time, did an excellent job, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. We really appreciated his attention to detail and friendly attitude. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, quality work!

Eugene and Alex did an excellent job installing my beautiful all-wood mahogany front door. The installation took longer than originally planned because they encountered some unexpected setbacks and had to modify the existing opening, but Eugene never charged me extra for the additional time and work. The finished door looks amazing, and I’m so glad I found them! Eugene is friendly, attentive, and truly focused on customer satisfaction and getting everything just right. He takes pride in his work and strives for perfection, and that really shows in the finished product. I highly recommend Eugene and Alex to anyone looking for quality work and someone who genuinely cares about doing the job right!

Eugene did a great job restoring our original front door. Rounded doors are not easy to do and it is difficult to find folks with the skills and precision as Eugene. Highly recommend Capital Carpentry for door restoration!

Choosing Capital Carpentry for my boat remodeling project was the best decision I could have made. Their team of talented carpenters took my boat to a whole new level of elegance and beauty. The intricate woodwork, custom-built furniture, and attention to detail surpassed my expectations. Throughout the project, they demonstrated professionalism, excellent communication, and a genuine passion for their craft. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend Capital Carpentry for any boat remodeling needs. Highly recommended…

Capital Carpentry handyman provided an exceptional service when it came to painting our house. The team was highly skilled, professional, and meticulous in their work. They helped us choose the perfect color scheme and applied the paint flawlessly, resulting in a stunning transformation. Our house looks brand new, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Capital Carpentry's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction make them the go-to choice for any painting project

The crews that have been doing work on our project are perfection. David leading the demo team was very respectful to our home and left it clean every day. Jared and David that have leveled our second floor bedroom flooring and are now working on our exterior, first class work and attention to detail. Very friendly and professional. The exterior painters Joe, Rodrigo and Christian, great group of guys. I am impressed with the quality of their work. Everything was well taken care of from taping off windows and ground covering. I know there have been more members of these teams that should also receive praise for their team work. Thank you, Thank you for taking so much pride in your work!

I’m so grateful for Trademark! We had an emergency in our home. A bad leak in our laundry room and what we thought was a simple quick fix turned into some pretty bad mold when they opened up the ceiling. Trademark came in, quarantined our laundry room right away, and got to work immediately on fixing everything. To name some of the workers that came in for the repair; Tristan, Justin, Miguel, Alfredo, Joe, Alex, David, Bradley, Angel, Jerrod and Jordan. From demolition to repair, every single person from each department that worked on the job were extremely professional and respectful of our home and were also very knowledgeable when I had questions. My daughter is extremely allergic to mold, so the comfort I had in knowing that the mold was being eradicated from certified specialists who knew how to handle it from the get go was what I needed to feel confident that we were doing what we needed to take care of our family’s health. Now my laundry room is safe and back to normal but even better than before with a new color! Trademark would DEFINITELY be my first call for any mold, remediation or remodel job in the future.

Courteous and punctual young men all very good in what they do . Dustin , Craig , Kevan Tristin and all the the crew. We had a leak in the back shower that caused extensive damage. Mold developed and a complete remediation was needed . Start to finish took awhile but some things are worth waiting for. Excellent craftsmanship, with the most beautiful shower we've ever seen . Thank you to all the gang at Trademark !

I’d like to send out a huge thank you to Julian, Hector, Matthew and Jesse. These guys are truly top notch professionals with Trademark. They started with a complete demo of my kitchen remodel that has been over 10 years in the dreaming. They’ve done a great job so far and it finally looks like my dream will become realized. They are so polite and caring and did a great job removing all of the old kitchen and cleaning up each night. They were great to answer my questions and tell me what was going on each phase. I really appreciate that I can poke my head in to see the progress !

I had a very good experience with Trademark. They did a complete bathroom remodel for me. Brad the project manager was very nice and knowledgeable. He was always available to answer my questions. Peter the scheduler was prompt and helpful. My crew that worked on my bathroom were awesome and I can't praise them enough. Richard and Noah worked on my shower tile and did a very impressive job, they took their time to make sure it was done right.. Matt and Jet did my plumbing and electrical and tried to get everything just the way I wanted and were very skilled. Jordan and Demetrio my carpenters were very skilled, professional and detail oriented. Also i cant forget my painters Angel and Joseph they did amazing work. I want to add all these workers were very pleasant to have in my home. They were professional, courteous, and respectful. They also made me feel like my opinion mattered and they worked hard to make sure I was pleased. I will definitely use them again and recommend whole heartedly.

First week was boring, Learned OSHA, but what was interesting was the hands on training on the MEWPS. Although we had to do book work prior to this and pass our exams to move forward. Looking forward to my 2nd week.

Came with the expectations this would be another mandatory class I was forced to attend, that took me away from my work. Left with the impression that there's still some teachers that will go to extensive lengths to help you further your education while in the union. Mr.Phillips one of the best educators I ever had a chance to learn from. Keep the whole class entertained with his distinctive way of showing us the importance of safety through his personal past experiences and his previous work experience. Helped me learn the importance of MEWPS and preventing work accidents caused from human error or machine failure.

Journeyman advance training free for members in good standing. Apprenticeship training is also free for members. Why would anyone work without a union? My local 2236. Ever since I joined I have never had to ask for a raise. I remember the last time I had to sit down and talk about my value of work. I got laughed at by a supervisor, no raise. Joined a union doubled my pay and got those precious benefits. My dues are less than my prime shine membership, so no complaining about paying dues. I love being a carpenter. This school is great

I went in to sign up… again. I quit twice as a kid and a third time to have surgery to remove a tumor. Unbeknownst to me 3 strokes your out. I really wanted and needed this. As I was leaving the man in charge stopped me and told me to join the union as a journeyman. Be honest with any employers, do what I can, and hell even let me take classes to further my learning. I just won't recieve credit. I don't have his card in front of me or I would name him. But thank you. Seriously… thank you. Side note, I locked my keys in my car and the front office called a teacher to assist me with some tools and advice. I got it, in less than 3 mins. I had to force her to take it but I had a brand new Craftsman black and white engine bay protector and I like to pay it back and see smiles on peoples faces. I could tell she was taken back as well as grateful. Little did she know I was so so late for an appt. So thank you welding teacher.(My apologies for not remembering your name.) But these are the people we need in this world. Great school, program, teachers, and staff. Btw the time I did spend there I Aced every class. So I could be biased.

Amazing staff! They take the time to make sure each individual understands the lesson and learns the skills to ensure a successful future.

Decent tour, and plenty of restrooms if you require one. Nice tour guides, and pizza was offered.

Great parking. Great staff. The place is a maze inside tho if you're not familiar with the place. They need more signs inside.

They were professional and patient. I had issues initially confirming payment but they continued to work with me. Once everything was set the patio was built and assembled in less then 3 days. This is a solid price of construction and I am positive it will last a lifetime or longer. I would choose them for sure

The best experience, ever! Joe and his team are wonderful – and they built a beautiful, beautiful patio cover for me. I'm so pleased that I chose their company for my patio cover. 5 stars! My thanks to RFMC Construction/Patio King!

If I could leave zero stars, I would. I signed a contract with Patio Kings, a division of RFMC Construction, in April 2026 and paid a $420 deposit. I chose them because I wanted to support a local company, but the experience has been extremely disappointing. My issue is the lack of communication, follow-through, accountability, and oversight. From the beginning, I have had to chase updates, make repeated calls, and try to figure out who was responsible for my project. On June 19, I was told someone would contact me. No one called on June 22 or June 23. Since then, I have continued calling and emailing with little to no meaningful response. RFMC’s office routes calls through multiple phone options, but no one answers or returns calls. Patio Kings has been nowhere to be found, and RFMC has not taken ownership. In my opinion, this reflects a lack of oversight from the top down, including executive leadership, upper management, and project management. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Patio Kings or RFMC Construction. Document everything if you hire them.

Crickets, Does anyone one know if Patio Kings/RFMC closed or moved.. We paid for an instal and we are not getting a response. They took their sign down from the location. I did talk to a Brittany on 6/16/26 and asked her where they were moving to and she would not say she just kept saying she was the person making the appointments. She said she would find out information on my instal and/or my refund and have not heard back despite how many messages I leave. Watch out before you do business with them!

Beyond our expectations! Our bathroom remodel project was a total gut and rebuild. To accomplish this task we needed to work with a team we felt comfortable with and "heard" what we need and wanted. We found that partner with our project manager, Kelsie Brown. She met with me, my husband and one of our daughters where she understood this was a family project. We all felt very comfortable with Kelsie and we were able to build ideas together as to what our needs were. Our bathroom is small therefore we needed to maximize the space which included adding built-in and floating shelves. As the project started, Juan and Noe were the main builders on our project. The collaboration between us, Kelsie, Juan and Noe was tremendous towards the success of our project. Just like Kelsie, Juan and Noe listened to what we needed, made adjustments and were creative. Communication during any project is very important. When this team said they would show up they did. When they had to make adjustments, changes, anything, they kept us posted on what to expect and what comes next. This was appreciated and it was easy to work with them. We do not think we would have ended with the same result, if we had worked with a different team. This team also had the support of their manager, Brandy. Managing a team myself, I understand how important it is to support those who report to you. This team is a reflection of the support Brandy has given to her team. Which allows them to be creative and focused on the project at hand. We will be forever grateful for our experience with Kelsie, Juan, Noe and the other skilled construction workers on this project. They set the bar very high! Lastly, we absolutely love our bathroom! It is definitely beyond our expectations! The Lopez Family

I love coming to school! Great trainers my carpenters are polishing up whenever you see us here! #local409

First and foremost all the trainers and volunteers who took the time out to give us insight and motivation to become carpenter, interior systems, insulation.what ever our job position is or union we are they pushed each one of us through our training. I couldn’t have been trained by a better team especially Mr. Wesley Crunk his way of teaching with a mix of seriousness and humor was an awesome experience thank all of you for your training. L.U 909 class of 9/5/2020

It was a good experience for the 3 weeks I was the there. And now I am on my journey from Instructor Wesley Crunk. He's a great guy and he keep it 💯

The best experience I have ever had and the people are really good people from all different background and the information they give you is very intuitive and the instructor are the best….

Amazing instructors and Mentor's. This place changes your life in the best way ever. Love this place..

The best. atmosphere, lighting and jazz are super great. Coffee is wonderful and the Hosting by Miles and Edgar top notch. Can’t be a better place in Santa Cruz. Outdoor patio is a secret cozy Gem.

This place has gone through a complete metamorphosis, the food the atmosphere the staff are all wonderful. They have amazing outdoor seating in a hidden grotto to the back of the Cafe, that's a perfect enjoyment if you love to read, write, or draw accompanied by the amazing sounds of waterfall and dance flames of the pyre that's at the heart of the grotto. I had the breakfast Mojito which is a delightful mint iced latte and a breakfast Gnocci somthing I would have never thought of. Over all great experience great food. Can't wait to come back.

This place was a whole vibe. We went early in the morning on a Saturday and they had jazz music playing and the team members were all so kind and helpful. It had a very rustic, industrial yet European vibe that reminded my parents of home. The food quality was top notch and fresh! The Whiskey Latte was amazing as well.

Lucrative drinks offered like tisanes, teas, and damn good coffee. I had a cacao hot chocolate with heavy dose of whipped cream. Yesterday I had a bowl of soul, and the honey latte 🦦🤌🏽❤️‍🔥chefs kiss*. The staff and atmosphere will keep me coming back for as long as she exists.

No other coffee shop was open in Santa Cruz at 6:00 a.m. everything was organic and fresh I was able to get a bagel and an almond it was vegetarian and absolutely love the start of my day at 6:00 a.m. with Lulu's. There was no other coffee place open that early so I was really relieved to find Lulu's open so early. I had an appointment at 8:15 and I had to make a crucial deadline so it was a blessing to be able to go there and find everything I needed in one stop.

Beautiful location. Very friendly service. The mocha we got was okay, but the flavor was not as chocolatey as expected. The regular coffee was not very hot. Maybe because it was close to closing time. It turned cold after we added milk. Good selection of milks to add. Will probably not return.

Wonderful place to grab a coffee,tea,ect and have a yummy breakfast.I got the black forest ham eggs Benedict.The employees are friendly.There is street parking and parking lots in the back of the cafe

I am a retired carpenter, I just stop by to correct some paperwork, sometimes you need to make in a person visit. I was greeted by Linda, I was playing phone tag and needed to visit her to fix my issue. Linda, was very helpful after bringing her up to speed and concluded the issue on my half. We hope and pray this will be resolved. D.

Carpenters Local Union 714 is an excellent organization for anyone interested in building a career in the trade. The staff are very friendly, supportive, and highly professional. They provide guidance every step of the way and truly care about helping members succeed. One of the best parts is the wide range of professional training programs they conduct, often through sponsorships. These opportunities not only build skills but also open doors to employment. The union goes above and beyond by helping members connect with employers and even sponsoring them to grow into skilled professionals. This is a great place for people with potential who want to develop their craft and build a long term career. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enter or advance in the carpentry field.

Yes, the girls in there are giving a very good service. But they only give basic information in order to complete the paperwork process. Once you reach one if them they are respectful and willing to help. They have other things to do so you have to be patient with them, have them to take their time, they will help you with all questions. They're not friendly but they are helpful.

THE BEST UNION OF ALL TIME…

VERY FRIENDLY HELPFUL AND VERY RESPECTFUL

This Union saved my life. I made stupid decisions and ended up in prison for many years.this union gave me a career where I could succeed and provide a great living for my family. If you are willing to work hard you can and will be successful. Great benefits,excellent pay and a pension

I was laid off on the first week of September 2017. Ever since I was unemployed until November 2017. I was then laid off 2 days later. Ever since that, I was once again unemployed until last year on September 2018 I got a,job at an Insulation Company that was Non-Union. I was then laid off again because the company lost a contract with the City of Pomona. I was unemployed again and still am. During all of last year I've been contacting the Union for work specifically Ted Jimenez. He was absolutely no help whatsoever. I was told to go to the Union meetings and I would get help there but nothing worked. I went to Long Beach, Santa Monica, San Diego, etc, and nobody helped me. Keep in mind I was spending my gas and I had no employment during that time so money was tight. They still expected me to go to school but how could I? Why would I? So, I was kicked out of the program because I wouldn't show up since I was broke and had to provide for my wife and newborn baby. I had to do side jobs and work under the table. Then we lost our apartment because this so called union still wouldnt find me work. Then I stopped paying my dues because it was hard. Then I receive a phone call of a guy saying they're gonna kick me out if I don't pay. How dare they?! They call each other a brother and sister but what about me? I'm nobody to them. They just want my money.

Guess we go over your head.

Wish we could help one another along the the way in Life and not feed the narrative stand strong head up Brothers.

The best thing I did with my self make a better life for my family is my school

Great spot for our required classes in the union. Awesome instructors too.

Union Carpenter My Self An it's the best thing I can ask for grate job nice house Nice car an truck

My Husband was a Member for 30+ years , and recently passed away and I find it utterly ridiculous that I've been waiting for a month just to receive a check to help with the funeral costs that I've paid for. It makes me feel like that his life wasn't that important to them, they never even reach out to the spouse or family after his death. Really that is MY OPINION .

They were helpful but not near as helpful as they were when i brought my sons to join 2 years ago. The jobmarket has DEFINITELY changed since 2024

Local 1977 has done SO much for my family and community! Best training in the country, vegas is built by the best in the business!

I have a big issue with the local 83 in Halifax Nova Scotia. They have broken their own rules for financial gain and to allow companies to continue working at any means necessary. I have proof in email and they keep it all hidden amongst their own. I need to get in touch with the head office people in Vegas how do I do so

Staff is great. Lots of parking, best carrier ever

This place is a second home to me the ladies at the front desk are amazing they r very knowledgeable and helpful. Very respectful as well. Everyone there from the girls at the front to the BA's in the back or running around r very helpful and kind it is an honor to belong to such a great organization.

This organization has helped me support my family and grow as an individual over the years. They teach members how to build our city and they protect our jobs wages and benefits!

One of the best places you can ever ask for help for anything great Brothers great sisters nothing but honesty and transparency l, dialogue anything you need they will help you they help the community. they help in advance and they always do their best shout out. to all the teachers the instructors, the GMS the principal all the brothers that work hard keep supporting them. I'm a member I just started but man I feel like I just came home with arms open wide so shout out to The Carpenters Union local 909 and anybody who supports. 💯 them……u9023-1193

Last night we attended the carpenter's annual christmas party at the union hall. It was a good turnout raffle, with a lot of good prizes. Music was really nice also there was a candy bar..

Garbage union, no work in years, they don’t help you with anything. Steal your monthly dues and laugh in your face. GARBAGE. JOKE

Stopped by for the first time in a few years for the Christmas party with my family, and we had a blast

Can’t go to class unless you’re vaccinated or have an actual covid test that shows up in time when they schedule you for school at 6am Monday morning when no one works on weekends. Covid test are difficult to schedule when you’re working and supporting a family in a signal income also which was the second time I got kicked out from school. I have one class left to journey out and they wont let me in because I’m not vaccinated when vaccinated people still can spread covid. Common people. Wake up! This is worse than the Star of David. This isn’t a union, I’ll tell you that much.

Awesome place to be really big and helpful people ! Glad to be apart of the local 909 !

Haven’t gotten sponsored yet, going on my third week. No help what so ever.
