I recently remodeled my kitchen with Niko & Friends. All the negatives you hear about contractors were totally absent, which is to say they were on-time, polite, brought an amazing can-do attitude, and did top quality work in all phases. All the trades involved (electrical, sheetrock, etc.) were superb. Crew leader Joel was terrific. The project had a couple special challenges, which they tackled and conquered, without losing a single step. I was always able “to sleep at night”, trusting them and their work. These are by far the best contractors I have ever worked with (after many projects). Definite 5 star on ALL fronts.

I can’t recommend Joel highly enough! Joel and his crew recently worked on several projects for my home, including essential repairs, building a beautiful new deck, and installing elegant, custom-designed front stair railings and posts. Their craftsmanship is impeccable, with attention to every detail, and they clearly take pride in their work.
Not only is their work outstanding, but they are also professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. Joel listened carefully to my ideas and brought them to life better than I could have imagined, including making recommendations for materials and design that were very helpful.
As they’re starting their business, I encourage anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy carpenter to give them a call. You’ll be in great hands!

This summer, 2024, Mr. Joel Zarate and his team, moved my existing stairs, deck boards, railings, beams and post so that a new IPE Hardwood deck materials could be installed to match my existing design as clos as possible.
The group was courteous, thoughtful and imaginative. The site was cleaned each night and existing materials were disposed of properly.
I was extremely pleased working with the crew and would be happy to recommend them to prospective customers.

It is my pleasure to recommend Joel Zarate and his crew for any and all house and garden remodeling needs.
Joel worked on our house in Novato for eighteen months. He did everything from installing windows and doors, to decks, to interior kitchen renovations, to framing and new construction, to drywall and finish painting. He and his crew are competent, knowledgeable, efficient, and well versed in all aspects of building and permitting. We were very happy with his work and will hire him again for future needs.
