The owner of the company, Wes, was wonderful. If he said he would be at the house at 10 AM, he drove in the yard at 10 AM. My husband is a bit of a perfectionist and Wes exceeded his expectations. He came to work on our home when he said he would, accomplished his tasks in a timely manner, and was extremely neat. He never left a mess and never left a task undone. We highly recommend A&W Carpentry - we cannot find enough adjectives to express how pleased we have been with the quality of his work and the professionalism of A&W.

Description of Work: Remodeled our home

Description of Work: I used A & W Carpentry.

Description of Work: We got two quotes from A & W Carpentry. The first quote was for remodeling and the second quote was for a room addition.

Description of Work: The cost of the services was for labor only. We purchased the materials. Wes and his crew remodeled our front porch replacing the wood floor with Azek flooring and replaced the six thin posts with 4 fiberglass columns. They also replace the vinyl lattice work with a better framed lattice. Reducing the number of posts required them to increase the framing of the deck on the header and bottom front frame which gave us a few more inches of deck space.

Description of Work: Installed lower kitchen cabinets on a very difficult wavy floor in a 1920 house, accurately leveling them for a large, L-shaped granite countertop.

Description of Work: I have used A & W Carpentry to do some remodeling to my house.

Description of Work: Removal of existing tile floor in kitchen and dining area (approx 300 sq ft). Leveling of floor, installation of Ditra and new tile.

Description of Work: Ah! Now, the downstairs powder room...Again, such vision. My hub and I have eclectic tastes, and decided to use an iredescent glass tile as a back splash, and extend it around as a chair-rail border. Wes laid a new sub floor, as well as the flooring, installed the toilet and sink/vanity, installed the lights, and best of all, allowed me extra days in between to paint. (I prefer to paint my self, but Wes does a great job of that as well.).Again, the work was done well, the price was fair, and Wes was lovely as usual.

Description of Work: He put in all of our windows. He built us a four seasons porch in the past. He installed two air conditioners for us most recently.

Description of Work: My house was broken into. The side door was kicked in with great force, breaking the door, shattering the glass, ripping the door casing right out of the frame and destroying all of the door hardware. The door, the casing and all of the hardware were replaced.

Description of Work: NOTE: The total $ spent also includes the price of fixtures purchased by us. While searching for a contractor to completely remodel both of our mid-century bathrooms, Wes Crawford came highly recommended by Leonard Patera from Hampton Remodeling as a contractor who takes jobs in our area (southeastern CT). We could see why right off the bat: Wes is courteous, organized, conscientious and a true craftsman. Estimates were thorough and detailed, and we had a good 'flow' of ideas. Our upstairs bath was first, starting in mid-January. On the first day, we had a few inches of snow on the ground. Wes arrived early and immediately shoveled out the area where the dumpster was going, even before coming to the door. The demo was fast and fascinating (there were crumpled pages in the walls from the New York Times dated September 21, 1958, which he saved for us to peruse!).Our toilet's orientation was shifted 90 degrees to a more practical angle, and an overly deep closet area was made into a smaller, more practical space. Electrical outlets were revamped, and an exhaust fan and electric heater were installed. Much of the wall was tile, with a running glass mosaic. The tile work was meticulously and beautifully executed. Most important was the attention to what went underneath: Wes is certified to install underlayments by Schluter (ever see the 'orange stuff' on "Holmes on Homes"?) that prevent moisture from seeping into the walls and floor. The project was finished during the first week of March (for the most part delays were with peripheral issues such as deciding to go with foam vs fiberglass insulation, inspections, etc.). The downstairs bath was begun in the second half of April, also a total gut with the exception of the toilet. This bathroom was original to the 1950 construction, complete with bumblebee-like yellow and black tile and no electrical outlet. It was built like a fortress, but it came down after much whacking with a sledgehammer. The existing window was removed and replaced with a higher one with textured glass. The walls around the new soaking tub and shower were replaced with Swanstone panels, and the rest of the area done in beadboard wainscoting and wallboard. The old door was replaced and stained. Once again, an exhaust fan was added, and a real outlet! The best part was a built-in cabinet that went in the wall opposite the sink. Wes had completed it at home and brought it in to be installed. He had framed it with the same trim that went around the door, and inlaid the middle of the doors with beadboard. It is a work of art.

Description of Work: We were having a new-ish kitchen done (same lay-out, but new floor, stove, countertops, etc). Wes Crawford was involved in the cabinet refacing, and did a wonderful job. However; the really INCREDIBLE job he did was as follows:for 15 years, I've been collecting Polish Pottery (hand painted in Poland), and over the years have had several pieces break. I saved them, thinking I could do 'something' with them eventually. When we were discussing the backsplash, I thought it would be cool to have the pieces incorporated into the tile. I told Wes about the idea, and he took offf running with it - BEYOND our wildest hopes. Wes is an exteremely personable guy. He's incredibly good at every job he's done for us (6 and counting), but this backsplash showed what a talented artist he is, as well. The finished product is magnificent, and everyone who has seen it agrees. We have an older, less than well-made house, and Wes has bit by bit brought it to where it needs to be. After Wes did the first job for us, my husband and I agree: we'll use A&W contracting for ALL our needs. Go to Wes' website - I think there's a pic of this backsplash.

Description of Work: Wes installed 2 new stair railings (ballisters and posts) replaced sheetrock in two bathrooms after electrical work had been done, sealed and caulked both bathroom fixtures, and installed new trim. (as well as other small repairs)
