I recently asked Eduardo to craft a wooden table for me, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He took my reference photo and brought my dream table to life, offering options for the best wood and tailoring my ideas into what was realistically achievable. Eduardo delivered the final piece right to my home, all within the promised timeframe. His work is so impressive that one of my friends is now having him build a pergola. Highly recommend his services!

Crafting furniture for my beauty salon in Lisbon was no small feat, but Anton Saleyev's work was impressive. They constructed precisely what we needed—ranging from reception desks to manicure tables. Every piece matched our initial design seamlessly. Throughout the project, communication was smooth, primarily through Anton, with some coordination with their main engineer. What stood out the most was their attention to detail and the consistent cleanliness of the worksite. Pricing was reasonable, especially for European standards, making it even more satisfactory. The entire experience was flawless, and I wholeheartedly give them a 10 out of 10. We'll definitely call on them again for future projects.

I've called on Eduardo's services twice now, once to build a console and another time to create a bookshelf for our guest room. Our space is quite limited, but if we ever need anything else, we'll definitely go back to him. I gave Eduardo some ideas from Pinterest and he brought them to life perfectly. He works efficiently too; we had just moved in and needed these pieces – he had everything done and delivered within a month as promised. Plus, he left the place spotless after finishing up the work!

I recently hired Eduardo to create a custom wardrobe for my store and I'm thrilled with the result. The craftsmanship is top-notch—the final product is exactly what I envisioned, and it's clear he used high-quality, durable materials. Despite the challenge of incorporating vintage wood into the design, Eduardo delivered flawlessly. Communication was great; we had several meetings and he was always responsive to calls and messages. He managed his schedule well, giving me a realistic timeline and completing everything on time without leaving any mess behind. Eduardo's professionalism stood out to me throughout the process; he's not only skilled but also a genuinely good person which makes all the difference. The price was very fair for such outstanding service. I'm definitely planning on working with him again in the future!

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
