What Our Clients Say
"Patrick matched the carriage house style of our 1920s Colonial perfectly. The cedar doors look like they've always been part of the home. His attention to architectural detail is remarkable."
Greenwich, CT
"We went through three companies before finding Alvaro's. Patrick was the only one who understood that our Tudor Revival home needed historically accurate doors, not just 'old-looking' ones."
Darien, CT
"The mahogany doors Patrick installed are stunning. Every neighbor has commented. He even helped us choose the right stain to complement our stone facade. True craftsman."
