I highly recommend Alan. Not only did he do an excellent job of installing my new, unfinished slab mahogany 3/4 lite exterior door between my kitchen and dining room and installing my clear crystal glass interior mortise door knob on the door, but he also did an excellent job of staining and clear coating the door. I am so happy and pleased with the beautiful results! I was very fortunate that Alan has the skills and experience to complete my door project. Some of the companies that I called only install doors. I am grateful that I didnâ t have to hire 2 different people- one to install the door, one to stain the door. Alanâ s carpentry, craftsmanship and staining skills are outstanding. He pays attention to detail and puts a lot of care in his work. On Friday, 5/10/19, I originally made an online appointment to see Alan on Monday, 5/13/19. However, on Friday, 5/10/19, when I tried to call Alan, I was so lucky to reach him and he was able to come out right away to look at my door! I was so happy that Alan was able to install my door on the following Wednesday, 5/15/19! Before installing the door, Alan placed the door on a table on the sidewalk in front of my house. He sanded and planed the door at that location so that there would be no wood dust in the house. He carefully measured and checked before installing the door, the door knob, mortise lock and hinges. After Alan installed the door, he cleaned the sidewalk and inside work area. At a later date, Alan returned to remove the door and he took it with him to stain. First, he removed the door hardware and left that in the house. After Alan was finished applying 1 coat of Old Masters Oil Based Wood Conditioner Clear 50104 and 5 coats of Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane Water Based Interior Crystal Clear Satin, sanding between coats with 150-160 fine grit sandpaper and wiping the dust off the door, he arranged a convenient time to return to re-install the door and door hardware. Alan is very pleasant, helpful, accommodating, approachable, trustworthy and easy to work with. As a senior with a limited budget, I really appreciated that Alan was willing to work with me to meet my budget. Also, he graciously helped me by filling in 2 holes in my wood floor where the new door was installed. It was truly a pleasure meeting Alan. I will hire him again for future carpentry projects and I will definitely recommend him to family and friends. Alan, many thanks for a job well done!
