I am writing to sing the praises of Peter Yesair Home Improvement. Peter designed a beautiful home entertainment cabinet for one of my clients and did a beautiful job. And although Peter’s main area of expertise is remodeling projects, especially kitchens and baths, he is a brilliant finish carpenter. Peter is reliable, fair-minded, resourceful, and exceptionally talented.
Peter came to my rescue recently when I ran into a big problem when expecting sixteen for a holiday dinner. I had prepped the brisket, cooked the soup, and was beginning to set the table. I have a beautiful jupe dining table with an intricate mechanism for expanding and opening the built-in leaves to seat more people. To my horror, two of the table’s leaves were stuck. I couldn’t open or close the table. I had a big problem.
I called Peter, and he gracefully showed up quickly on a Saturday, and within a few hours, he was able to repair the table. This was not an easy fix, but Peter did it and, smiling, said he enjoyed the challenge.
I highly recommend him for any project.
