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.

Max fabricated a replacement of our custom bathroom door, including sourcing the original hardware and arranging the repair and refurbishing of the broken lock and painting and installing the new door.

From start to finish we found Max to be responsible, reasonable, and a master craftsman. We couldn’t be more pleased with his work and can recommend him wholeheartedly.

Max is an extremely talented carpenter whose work has made my small apartment’s storage solution grow exponentially. He listens to what you envision provides feedback and works with you to get you the solution you need and will love. He built a large linen closet which meshes well with my furnishings, He also built a desk top nook for my home office that houses all of my supplies. He is fast, friendly and reasonably priced. You will be very happy if you use the captain!!

Captain Max made a beautiful, custom loft bed and step ladder for us. I described to him what I had envisioned for the room, and he created exactly what I wanted. On installation day he and his employee were friendly, quick, efficient and professional. We now have double the living space in our bedroom which has been revolutionary! Would hire him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! Thank you Captain Max!

Max was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive, patient with lots of questions, fair with price, and accurate in estimating the delivery of our new bookcases. We are delighted with the result and would happily hire him again for future projects.

Max is a consummate professional. I ordered a kitchen table and benches that were way too big for my space and he came, picked it up and sized everything down beautifully. You would never know it was altered. He delivered it back to me sooner than expected. Terrific to work with.

Max is the consummate professional! He and his team did a wonderful job in designing, building, and installing a series of built-in bookcases. Not only is the craftsmanship of the finished project of the highest standard, Max himself is responsive, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

I accidentally broke our sink tile in my rental apartment, and our building super was rude and totally a rip off, so I decide to find my own handyman to do the job. I found Max and email him, got a reply within a few hours, he came in to inspect the project in a timely efficient manner, and I feel completely comfortable handling my sink with him! He is honest, polite, patient, friendly, and he helped me order the parts I need, and you feel like you can totally trust him. He end up doing an excellent job replacing our sink, I would totally hire him again & recommend him to all friend!

Max is very professional and polite – and really friendly. His work is impeccable. He holds himself to very high standards and this shows in his work. I hired Max to do work in both my home and my office. He is very dependable and reliable. In my home he built me a big set of shallow steps so that I could walk out my balcony door more easily. (It was a huge step up.) It is a great design and looks like an art installation on it’s own (that is what I wanted!) It is also free standing and not attached to the walls so the building had no problem. And at my request Max stained the piece with a particular type of stain for guitars that i found, so I could get the exact Cherry red color that I wanted. Gorgeous! Max also did some work in my kitchen and came up with some beautiful and innovative solutions to my having trouble fitting my new stove properly. In the process I was in the area of the Bronx where Max gets aluminum sized, so I offered to pick up the piece – and everyone that worked there from the boss to the guys on the floor to the cashier LOVED Max. They wouldn’t let me go because they were telling me stories about a stand-up guy that they would trust with anything. Max’s work goes beyond repairs and necessary pieces. He is an artist. He cam ego my office next and did a ton of handyman work, like tightening things and patching walls, reinforcing drawers and assembling furniture. But the best are my BIG RED STEPS!! I am looking forward to hiring Max to do many more projects – he has great suggestions. Whenever I describe a vision, he makes it happen in reality. It’s like I had my dream come to life! I’m so glad I found him!
