Best carpenters near Elmwood, LA

"Handymansfield, aka Bill Mansfield was very knowledgeable and professional. His knowledge of materials was very important for this project and his advice was spot on. My only observations, which as a woman unfortunately happens a lot, is that often my instructions are not followed or understood. I found metal scraps after the jobs was completed when I asked about clean up at the beginning of the project - which includes shards of metals that could become flying objects when mowing the yard. At over $2k in labor, I'd expect such clean up. We also could had communicated better as to moving topsoil bags away from the fence - which I could not do as I recently had spinal surgery and am under a no lifting doctor's order. I greatly appreciated his assistance in returning unused materials to the retailer - so despite any problems in communications, I highly recommend this contractor for any fencing project."

"I could not recommend CNM more. Very professional and the work is excellent. It's difficult to find a contractor who does excellent work but who also knows how to communicate. Cary Boquet is both. He did the work quickly and professionally, was respectful of our space and belongings, and communicated throughout the process to make sure that all of our choices and preferences were taken into account. The porch looks gorgeous!!!"

"Phil and his guys always do a great job. As a DIYer with a meticulous eye for detail, I am always reluctant to pay for jobs I can do myself. However, Phil is so detail oriented and reliable that I can relax and know that the project will come out great and I can sit back and relax! I have used Northshore painting for 5 different jobs and actually have him back again to work on improvements to the kitchen. This is a great local company and you won’t regret using them!"

"One Vet installed curtain rods in my house, hung diplomas, and advised on other projects needed in my home. He is willing and able to do multiple projects, inside and outside. Great guy, excellent customer service!"

"SUMMARY: SES did high quality work. They stuck to the projected cost. They finished within the estimated timeframe (or at least close enough). PRELIMINARY STAGES: SES promptly returned our initial call and set up a visit by their estimator. Within a very reasonable timeframe (maybe a little more than a week), we had the estimate in hand. In contrast, we were shocked to see how difficult it was to deal with some other contractors--even in the early stage, when we were trying to give them business. DETAILS OF THE JOB: They gutted ~50% of a ~180 sq ft bathroom to the studs; did some framing/re-framing; removed a large tub and patched in some hardwood; completely re-did the mortar bed/tile/plumbing for the shower; re-routed an HVAC intake to a different part of the house; moved/added some plumbing and electrical; installed a new commode and tile floor in a new toilet closet; hung crown molding; installed a double vanity with a stone top; hung a large mirror and frameless shower door; built out 2 closets. QUALITY. Their renovation was high quality and fit perfectly into our 1930’s arts-and-crafts home. They found, sanded, and painted an old 5 panel door to match the doors in rest of the house. The salvaged/refinished pine floor fits into the existing pine floor seamlessly, and the new trim work matches that in the rest of the house. Their tile guy did an outstanding job on the shower—floor to ceiling with a bullnose and a niche. The subs they used for the vanity/stone top and for the mirror/shower door did a high quality job. We designed our closets and the trim carpenter built them out perfectly (soft-close drawers and all). COMMUNICATION. This was a big asset to the SES experience. Ashley kept us posted with an email almost every day. We knew what to expect when we got home from work, as well as what to look for the next day and the rest of the week. In the rare event that there were surprises or delays, Ashley would let us know right away as well as what the resolution would be. While Ashley was the main line of communication, the owner, Shawn, was very accessible as well when necessary. PROFESSIONALISM. All the people we interacted with were professional and punctual. The workers were respectful of us and our home, and they did a great job cleaning up every day. With very few exceptions, people were at the house every weekday (and even some weekend days), from the start to the finish of the project. THE UNEXPECTED. As the work proceeded, some minor structural damage from the old shower had to be addressed and the hot water heater needed some repairs. These were taken care off in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Otherwise, there were a few miscommunications regarding the electrical rough ins, a plumbing valve, the closet build outs, and the shower door. All these were very minor and easily addressed. Along the way—and especially as things neared the end—Shawn made sure we had everything exactly the way we wanted it. This was our first time hiring a contractor. Before our renovation, we had heard many contractor-related horror stories. Our experience with SES was drastically different. We are already scheduling another project with them."

"We warmly recommend Mr. Felix Salgadoâ s company, Diamond House Painting, with complete confidence and enthusiasm. Felix and his workers (Daniel, Juan and Samy) did a fantastic job painting our house and restoring our deteriorated balcony. We were very lucky to find these great guys! Work done: Our two-story, hundred year-old house was genuinely cringe-worthy in appearance, with badly peeled paint on all sides, many rotted weatherboards, missing balcony railing and leaky porch ceiling. Now I am SOOO pleased with how the house looks! Itâ s beautiful!! We should have done this years ago (not kidding). We have had many compliments from admiring (or possibly relieved) neighbors. Felix and his guys sanded, caulked and painted walls and window frames, with very careful and professional attention to containment of dust. They replaced weatherboard siding where needed. For the balcony, they fabricated a new HDLC-approved balcony railing with spindles to match historical photographs, and restored the flooring. They also repaired the porch ceiling with new tongue-in-groove lumber and painted it. Their work was meticulously and thoroughly done, with painstaking attention to detail. The wood surfaces are now completely smooth and look new. While these items were not included in the contract, Felixâ s guys also helped with some â extrasâ including removing a second-story window unit, opening windows that had been painted shut years ago, and closing a stuck-open second story window that was accessible only with a very tall ladder. Professionalism: impeccable. Felix returned emails and calls promptly. He showed up on time for the initial appointment, completed the very reasonable estimate in a few days, and started the job exactly when he said he would. He also came to the job site every day and supervised the work very carefully throughout. This is unique in our experience with contractors. ¬¬¬Impressive. Daniel, Juan and Samy were superlative workers, as were the other guys who helped from time to time. They came to work faithfully on time every day, worked very hard and steadily throughout each day, quietly and professionally. Moreover, their work was of excellent professional quality. As well, they were unfailingly polite, friendly, and respectful of our needs and those of our neighbors. Felix is very lucky to have such excellent helpers, and I am sure that he rewards them with the respect that they deserve."

"Leo installed a shower tower and rebuilt a lazy Susan for large appliance storage. Then painted all the base cabinets to hide the off white color of original cabinets. Workmanship is impeccable!"

"Blake was efficient with completing small wood jobs within our home( replacing baseboards, build out inside a cabinet) including going to the store purchasing wood, priming/painting all before I returned home from work."

"I'm a professional painter and noticed the excellent finish King Cole Construction LLC did for their costumers. I learned the owner is a graduate of the Rinker school of building construction and management at the University of Florida, pretty impressive! I finally met him on the job, and he is super guy to speak with, and really knows his profession!"
