Brad is truly an exceptional contractor on all fronts: craftsmanship, integrity, reliability, and customer service - all at a great value. Brad installed a beautiful new door with completely new framing and threshold in a very challenging entryway configuration. As the final project of our renovation, I can assure you that working with Brad was a breath of fresh air, a pleasure - I would give Brad my highest possible recommendation to anyone needing door and/or finish carpentry work.Brad is that rare "old world" craftsman who takes great pride in his work.

Brad was fantastic to work with! He responds to calls and emails almost immediately and had a very upbeat attitude and great sense of humor in all of our interactions. He is a fabulous guide in selecting doors and hardware, and no question was too silly or basic for him to guide us patiently through. His craftsmanship and care shines through in conversations with him, and his excellent attention to detail is evident in the look and feel of the finished product. Brad and Anthony worked quickly to install two beautiful exterior doors for us in San Rafael.
We are plotting to invite them back for some help on our interior doors in the near future. The price was more than reasonable for the work, and we appreciated Brad's clear itemization of all the components of the project.

We were looking to replace our old front door. Brad provided an onsite consultation, giving us lots of resources to design the best door for our home. Door Beautiful is a local company and we wanted to support a county small business. He recommended local hardware store to order the door from and he then picked up the new door for us. Door specialists at hardware store were super easy to work with and very helpful.
We also had a security door as part of the replacement project and Brad picked that up too. He ordered the door handle/lock assembly we chose from a user-friendly online catalog he provided us. It was easy to work with him via email to send him all the specs, etc. to organize our project and he always responded timely. The door company he recommended was a quality door builder and had a helpful website to design the door.
The door installation happened all in one day and Brad was very professional, respectful, friendly and very experienced in knowing how to carefully install the door. He had great attention to detail in leveling out our uneven door threshold so the door closed exactly and prepared/painted door trim very neatly. So pleased we found such an expert in Brad to customize our door project. Project cost was very reasonable and a true value. Would definitely hire him again for other door update projects; Highly recommend!

Excellent in every aspect of his business! Quality workmanship and impeccable customer service! As the old saying goes sometimes what you pay is what you get and Brad is not the most inexpensive guy however he is the most qualified! I would pay even a higher price knowing how the project will be handled by Brad owner of Door Beautiful!

I replaced a sliding glass door that led to our patio and the front door to my home. I hired Brad from Door Beautiful to do the work. He and is Son worked on the project and did an amazing job. Brad is a true professional, his technical expertise is the best, he is personable and he is a great communicator. I would hire Brad again in an instant if I needed any door work in the future.

I found Brad on yelp and called him. I was struggling trying to figure out how to replace my very old warped front door. As you may know, this is not a straight forward issue. I had called others, visited few showrooms and was trying to get a quote from a Marin Lumber that never got back to me for months after i visited with them with all the info for a custom door.
Brad came to the rescue and did a fantastic job.
He is a great resource and has lots of great advice. He is not only a really nice guy, but he knows everything about doors an door hardware etc. He seems fairly priced for what he gives you. Great work. Don't expect lowball bids and shoddy results. He is on point with followup and comes on time and does what he promises and MORE! Finished product looks awesome and he will follow up on any detail after the job. He stands behind his work. Need a door? You need Brad!

I ordered a couple of simple (on my opinion) doors and I didn't not expect much from them. But after Brad finished his work I was truly amazed. I did not expect a simple door to look that gorgeous. Now I can't stop looking at my new doors :) Thank you so much Brad! Also Brad is very nice and friendly, and he will always respond to your emails/calls quickly. I will need to replace more doors in the future and I will definitely be contacting Door Beautiful again.

We just had Brad install a replacement patio door for us. Working with him is the best experience one can expect from anyone working in a service industry. He takes time to ensure that he understands what you need - follows up promptly with calls and emails as he moves forward, and during installation goes above and beyond to ensure that you are satisfied.
He has a really positive attitude about the work he does and it comes across clearly when he works. He is neat and precise when completing the job, making sure that you are happy. He even washed the windows on the door and came back the next day to install a magnet on the door for our security system which I we had forgotten to tell him about! Brad is a man of integrity. I would recommend him to everyone and will use him for any future work!

We just had all our doors done by Brad with Door Beautiful. We were so amazed to see such a huge change it made in our home. The doors are gorgeous and I love walking down the hall and seeing my new doors with the new hardware. He did and exceptional job and I would recommend him as well as use Door Beautiful again.

"Over the past 8 years, Brad Chiaravalle has completed many projects for us--installing multiple windows, doors and cabinetry at our residence. We have been 100% satisfied with all his work. His professionalism is exemplary, and we can recommend him without reservation. Brad is very detail-conscious, pleasant to work with, completes work on time and within budget.
When we called his references prior to hiring Brad for his first job at our home, one of his references told me that he was simply the best contractor she had ever worked with. We echo her sentiment!"
