A few years ago, Max built some great bookshelves for our apartment in NYC. Today he helped me out by installing some sliding shelves in our under-counter kitchen cabinets. He does wonderful work, and is a real pleasure to deal with. And very engaged with the upper Manhattan community.

Max just built and installed new street signage at the music school where I work. The school is land marked, and Max was knowledgeable, friendly and affordable. And best of all, the work he did is professional and beautiful. I liked working with so much, that I’ve hired him for another project

Captain Max was great. It was easy to communicate with him and set up an initial visit. He is friendly and knowledgeable and quoted a very reasonable price. We needed to get the attic space and bathroom wall refinished due to water damage. He did a great job and was very meticulous and thorough. I’m definitely satisfied with the result and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a handyman in the city.

Max has been great. We hired him for one job that he quickly took care of so we looked around our apt. at what else he could do. Since then he has refurbished my wood coffee table and it looks like new. I showed him a storage dilemma that I had in my son’;s room, and came up with a great and economical solution – he is currently building us a bookcase. He is very nice and qualified and creative.

Captain Max’s work is impeccable. I’ve had the good fortune to work with Max and have known him for over a decade. He’s kind, honest and enormously talented. He’s also unusually reliable. When he says the job will be done, it’s done on time. He’s a true craftsman.

I had hired Captain Max for one project; he did such a great job I keep hiring him for more! Max is very professional and super accommodating to my odd schedule. His work is impeccable and precise. He’s also very kind and takes the time to listen to the entirety of the work I need done. He then thoughtfully provides solutions and is honest about the cost of materials and labor. I highly recommend Captain Max! I feel like I’ve found a go-to handyman to keep my business working top-notch!

Capt Max saves the day! I spent at least a half year looking for someone with the skills to take on my rescue operation project after moving back to NYC with just the drawers from my antique wooden flat file. The original frame was left behind as we could not get it out the door on moving day, and probably for the better as it’s 5ft x 2.5ft footprint would have taken up half the my new abode’s studio/guestroom. Max magically refashioned this massive piece into a vertical format by taking the 2 full length drawers, dividing them in two to match their 4 smaller brethren, and stacking them to yield 8 highly usable drawers in a newly made framework. I was able to not lose any room space and actually gain some by placing my newly envisioned art storage cabinet in an unused closet with the doors off! He is an affable guy, good as his word, and extremely competent. Since the piece is still pretty big (in a different way) he made sure to make it something one can simply knockdown in case of another move and which made delivery a breeze. The price was fair and the workmanship topnotch.

Captain Max Patterson made custom made window boxes for my company Angelica Flowers and Events and myself and our client couldn’t be any happier. his work is not only beautiful and durable, Captain Max is reliable, honest and helpful along every step of the process. he helped create exactly what i needed in such a timely manner during his very busy season. i plan on using him again and again in the future. it was a pleasure working with you Captain !

Max was an absolute lifesaver! I had no idea how few gifted wood workers there are in the NY area. I had a time crunch situation on cutting down an antique, rustic dinner table. He was a man of his word and did an utterly seamless job! It’s uncanny how beautiful it looks. I will continue referring him to valued friends and using him for my jobs. #GoCaptionMax

Captain Max helped us design, build and install a beautiful custom desk/workbench for my husband. He assisted with all stages of planning and was very patient with us as we figured out exactly what we wanted. He made great recommendations for hardware and materials. He is easy to work with, highly skilled, and extremely professional. He graciously offered to come back after installation to put in a final shelf after my husband had a chance to use the desk and determine the best placement. We were very pleased with the final piece and highly recommend him. We were also delighted to support a highly skilled local craftsman here in Washington Heights.
