I can't thank you enough for letting us know about Charlie Malca. Besides
being reliable, trustworthy and having extremely fair pricing, Charlie is an
artisan. He knows everything about different types of wood and elegant
furniture making and finishes. They just don't make craftsman like Charlie
anymore, they're a dying breed.

Charlie did every custom piece that we wanted on the kitchen and did an
impeccable job. He matched our 1940¹s kitchen to a "t" when he did the
add-on work. He custom carved the designs in the wood and matched the old
60¹s tile and grout perfectly for the counter. The quality, care and
craftsmanship that go into his work are remarkable.

What a gem!!

I got Charlie's phone number from one of my clients. He did some cabinets, closets and counters in a very sophisticated doctor’s office in Beverly Hills. Let me tell you: if he wasn't good, I wouldn't call him back. My reputation is only as good as my subs. If they don't do a good job, I am out of business. Because he does all the work himself, he develops a close relationship with the customer and with me. He is very good at what he does and likes his job. I value his honesty and his experience.

Charlie was referred to me by an upholstery person I was working with. He custom designed a closet for me and did all the cabinet work on a remodel. He's just a wonderful person: honest, loyal, trustworthy and on time. He does impeccable work and I highly recommend him. I even leave him in my home when I am not there. He has become a friend. I've spent thousands of dollars with Charlie and trust him completely. He is accountable, responsible and returns calls within twelve hours, max! He is also very adaptable to suggestions and works within my budget.

I met Charlie while I was doing a huge job under the Hollywood sign. Since then we have worked on several smaller projects. I then was involved in remodeling a house built in the 30's. It had been a rental for 20 years and needed a lot of TLC. Charlie converted a small room into a walk-in closet, removing paneling and adding dry wall. He also had to redo some of the cabinet doors. He is especially great at matching things up with existing doors and walls. I then had him do some bookshelves in my own home. His prices are middle-of-the road, and his work is very, very good! I work with a lot of different people. Charlie sticks to his price and is consistent in all he does. He does exactly what I expect from him. And I trust him!

Charlie was recommended to me by my handyman. I had an old kitchen and wanted no structural work done, only cosmetic. Charlie built custom cabinets for walls that were not straight, cabinet by cabinet. I was satisfied with his prices. They were not excessive for what he did for me. He was always available and easy to reach by phone. He was promptly responsive to follow up calls and available for any adjustments. What makes Charlie special is that he is not just a cabinetmaker. He is a craftsman, with imaginative solutions to unusual problems. I have already referred him to others.

Charlie is a good man—very clever—and he does great work. He refaced my kitchen cabinets and painted them so they look like new! He made new drawers for an old maple cabinet I had, found the hardware at a good price and it came out perfectly. He designed and built a beautiful end table for me and rebuilt my pantry with lovely pull-out shelves, too. Charlie knows wood and knows how to work with it. He is punctual and honest. He gave me a fair bid and stuck to it. I left him many times alone in my house. Not only is he a nice man, but he can do anything with wood.
