Bret did a fantastic job realigning all the doors/trim in my basement which had shifted over the past 20 years. He also lowered the baseboard all around my basement as well. He worked tirelessly and quickly. It really is nice that all the doors in the basement close effortlessly and it looks like it did when brand new. He also installed a new lazy-susan shelving which had broken. In my opinion, Bret is a craftsmen's craftsman. All his work has been outstanding, priced below market value, and he is honest and trustworthy. Just the type of person you want to know and have his number handy for all projects.

It went perfectly other than me ordering too much material. Bret has a fairly high hourly charge compared to many carpenters, but he works very quickly and his work is exceptionally high quality.

I was very happy with the work Bret did for me. He really listened to me and had some great ideas on how to improve upon my plans. The workmanship was excellent. I will definitely hire him again when I have another list of projects that need to be done.

Bret was thorough, friendly, and was accurate in terms of approximate duration of project. He was able to pick up a couple of the larger items at store which helped a lot. I would recommend Bret and I would use him on future projects.

Bret is the person I call when I want projects completed in our home. I find ideas on Pinterest and share them with Bret. He is always willing to take on projects I present. Excellent craftsmanship and professionalism.

Bret was awesome! We did a full basement renovation, and of all the folks we hired, Bret is the only one we would enthusiastically recommend. He was friendly, on-time, reasonably priced, and did quality work. We talked a bit about our vision before he began and then gave him creative freedom on the project. In the end, we were beyond excited with what he delivered, and we hired him a second time for some additional work. We’d highly recommend Bret for your upcoming project!

Brett is awesome. He is a true professional-on time, does high quality work, and a great person to deal with. I have already passed on his number to multiple friends and we already have projects lined up for him for the future. Highly recommended.

Wow! I was extremely impressed with the quality and speed of Bret's work. He far exceeded my expectations. He also made suggestions which made things look better than the ideas I had. He completed the complex bathroom door trim and both sides of the bar knee wall in one day and came back the next day and made 6 new doors for kitchen cabinets, to compliment the rest of the "store bought" cabinets. He also built a brand new cabinet for over the kitchen sink, and still had time to install overhead cabinet trim, and toe kicks. Bret worked with me and we agreed that I would purchase and pick up the wood and that would save his time to do the finish carpentry work. After he was done with the work I applied the finishing coats of stain and sealer on all of the cabinets and trim work. One of the best contractors I've ever worked with.

We needed several different types of work done after a remodeler left a bit of a mess for us. Bret came in and finished everything up in a little over a day. Did a great job and I would definitely recommend him

Everything about our experience with Bret was fantastic. He was very responsive to every question and was patient while we asked them. He showed up when he said he would and did a fantastic job. To say we are happy with the results is an understatement! We would hire him again in a heartbeat and will be recommending him to our neighborhoods, family and friends! Thank you, Bret!!

Bret came to our newly built home and custom made and installed window sills and aprons for all of our interior windows. Bret was extremely fast in getting back to me after I contacted him, showed up right on time and did an exceptional job on our window trim. He is a very pleasant and professional person to have in your home and I would highly recommend his carpentry services. His is fast and his prices are fair, I would hire him again in a heart beat.

Quickly and perfectly done! He did just over 4 hours and did another odd job on the side before he left. I paid him for 5 hours.
