I called Ben when I needed the bottom of my undersink cabinet in the kitchen replaced because it had warped from water damage. I've had a few estimates done and Ben's price was pretty reasonable. I decided to go with Ben because he had a pretty darn good review here on yelp, plus he also happened to be available to do it the same day. He did a really nice job on replacing the particle board bottom of the undersink cabinet--he even cut out the pipe areas really nicely and fitted them back and caulked all the way around. I was really happy when it was done because it looked like it was brand new (5 stars there)! One problem: Upon my final inspection of the job, I noticed two of the wood screws came protruding out the other side of the kitchen island! When I pointed it out to Ben, he felt bad about it because he had thought there would be molding on the other side. So, he spent Sunday going to Home Depot to find a matching maple molding, stain it the right shade to match my island and on Monday, Ben shows up with the molding and did a quick install/caulk. He was apologetic of the situation and offered no additional cost for the molding and the labor. I took away a star because, overall, the job turned out a bit longer than I had anticipated . However, because Ben showed me that he will do the customer right in the end (plus, my kitchen island looks even better than it did before with the additional molding!), I maintain my 4-star rating for BLS Carpentry.

I called to ask if he could come and take a look at my door and he was asking me questions about it like I was a handyman and as if I would know how to answer them. Then I asked if he could take a look at it as it would be better if he can see how to fix it and he said he charges to come to waipio??? doesn't he service Ewa beach and the surrounding area? isn't waipio the next exit?? I just didn't feel like he wanted to help or took the time...maybe he's so busy with his 5 stars and all but I wouldn't hire him if he can't even get here without charging.

He built our redwood fence and did a great job! He showed up when he said he would and finished on time. We will totally call him up again in the future. Don't skimp and get a cheap contractor. Get one that knows his stuff and this guy does.

Hired Ben to install a mount in my ceiling. Quoted 320.00 which seems high, but ceiling beam was 13 feet up. Arrived on time, took about an hour. Would give another star, but mount is little off centered and paint on 2 lag bolts rubbed off when he used a electric drill to tighten bolts.

Great person to work with. Did all coordination and estimates through Yelp since I am overseas and he was also the only person on Yelp to reply to me. Repaired my damaged dry wall to a new look. Would work with him again.

Came exactly one time. Gave a realistic estimate of the time required. The workmanship was good and the price was fair. What more do you want?

What a gem of a find on Yelp! I was in need of a handyman for several repairs to my home. I emailed two but one was not taking new appointments till January. Ben from BLS Carpentry & Handyman Services contacted me by email right away and scheduled the estimate. After quoting me an estimate, he went in search of the materials he needed and called me back later that day to say that he had found the siding for my carport wall and could come the next day (Saturday) to do the job. He and another guy worked on the three repairs and I was so excited with their workmanship! The pictures show before and after. Ben and his partner were very professional and cleaned up after the job was done. Ben was also very courteous and contacted me when he was going to be a little late to the estimate appointment when his earlier project took additional time; and when he was at the hardware store picking up the supplies. I also need to give a shout out to Robert Baay Painting Services who did the painting after the repairs were done. I will definitely call Ben again for future work on my house!

I called in the morning to ask for a last minute AC removal. They were very understanding and were able to come out that night and remove the AC from the window without damaging the frame (previous tenants had glued it into the frame) and came back the next morning to install the new AC that I'd bought. I didn't get the guy's name but he was very polite and worked pretty quickly. The cost was reasonable as he had to cut through layers of rubber cement to get the old AC out and install the new one. I'd definitely recommend this company :)

BLS carpentry came to our house and successfully installed three A/C units, one In our room, one in the living room and one in the guest room. They cut all the fittings for the wood, then painted the wood to match color previously there. I must say the did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them for projects like this. Of all the companies we called to do this project BLS carpentry gave us the best estimate and best pricing.

BLS Carpentry came out to do a drywall repair(4X4 hole). They were extremely quick and tidy. They repaired the hole in the drywall and textured. Very very good job and the price was extremely affordable. Will gladly have them do any work around the house again.
