Our experience with Carlos/Remake/Remodel was nothing but positive. He is very professional and flexible. From the initial visit with Carlos and his immediate understanding of our requirements and needs and the subsequent communication to finesse the plans, to the work itself, everything was very easy and hassle-free. there were a couple of elements of the job which could have been awkward and difficult [a 'diagonal' corner unit and plug socket relocation] but they were both resolved simply and efficiently - excellent job Carlos and thank you.
I highly recommend Carlos

Carlos did a wonderful job on a custom built in for our master bedroom addition. We had a closet from the bedroom beneath the addition that extended into the room creating an awkward layout. He made this unattractive “feature” into a beautiful entertainment center with shelving that is now purposeful and one of our favorite parts of the room. He also installed crown molding in all our bedrooms.

My husband and I just bought a new home and are blessed that we found Carlos Villagrez to help us with some renovation work! We were both immediately impressed by his professionalism, extensive experience, attention to detail, on-time, and excellent quality work. As an example, there was a very large structure underneath a window that was too big for a window seat and custom built to match surrounding bookcases. We asked Carlos to remove this so we could slide in a sofa. After opening the structure, he was able to educate us on the structural components and options for a strong rebuild. The end

Carlos is great! I had a small job (mailbox installation), and he did a fantastic job. Was on time, finished the work quickly, and even ran to the hardware store to pick up the right size washer when my mailbox didn't come with all of the correct hardware for installation. Will definitely hire him again for some larger projects.

Carlos is a true pleasure. He is steady in his work and employees a high level of professional craftsmanship that results in a beautiful product where it is quickly completed. Carlos framed my deck which is truly plumb, level and square..Every framing member was properly crowned, placed, and fastened. Watching him work made it obvious to me that he was a pro and had performed this kind of work often. In addition to his workmanship, the job site is kept tidy. He was both respectful to me and my property. I can't say enough positive things about him. I'm typically reluctant to hire contractors, but

Carlos Villagrez has been outstanding - he installed an exterior door for me. Carlos has done handyman types of many jobs for me over a year such as installing window shutters, installing mirrors, painting, installing shelves, etc. Carlos is always on time, very accurate, reasonable, very professional, and pleasant to work with. He is prompt and will tell you upfront how much a task will cost and how long it will take to complete it.
