South Eastern Carpentry Inc

Porch Rebuild

Steve and his crew did an excellent job. They were neat, kept the job moving along, and created a beautiful bathroom. Definitely high quality workmanship. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We had a fantastic experience with South Eastern Carpentry. They helped us change the entire feel of our house by helping us design and execute with high quality materials and an unmatched attention to detail. I cannot say enough positive things about the experience.

Breathtaking… Stunning…Gorgeous! All are words our family and friends have used to describe our beautiful new kitchen, thanks to Steve, Jon, and Joe. Everything came out better than expected, and we don’t think the process could have gone any more smoothly. From demo day to about 95% complete, the kitchen took about 7 weeks – the final 2 weeks were really just waiting on the countertops to arrive. We did a full kitchen gut and remodel, which included taking down the wall between our kitchen and dining room. 2 windows were removed and 1 new one added; the exterior work was flawless and you’d never know anything changed from the outside! The workmanship shows throughout the kitchen, and you can tell there is pride in the work and attention to detail. We had no hesitations when we left for work each day leaving our home in the hands of Steve, Jon, and Joe, and they always carefully cleaned up the workspace. Jon and Joe worked meticulously, and were conscientious about even the smallest details. We thoroughly loved working with South Eastern Carpentry and absolutely love our new kitchen. Steve worked with us from start to finish, and has stuck by his word for cleaning up the last little bit of touch-ups in the kitchen. It was great to work with a contractor who also has an eye for design, and was able to make suggestions along the way. We’re already thinking about our next project to have the guys back for!

Steve and his team did an excellent job. I certainly had other lower quotes but you do get what you pay for in this business. They did craftsman style carpentry throughout. Would definitely use again!

Steve and his team are A+ builders, designers, craftsmen, and construction professionals who had the ability to get us from vision to reality through relentless planning and execution. I think of Steve, John, and Joe as our partners in this home project and not just as contractors and carpenters. The team's attention to detail was very impressive. Every corner of trim or siding or window or decking, where one material meets another, just looks plain clean and awesome. The professionalism of the entire team was beyond stellar. The respect and courtesy of the core team and the way they interacted with me and my family throughout the entire project was unmatched. I cannot thank them enough for the care they wall put in to their work as well as how considerate they were in their time with us. And finally, Steve was great at communicating with us and responding to questions and concerns as well as regularly giving us timely updates on what was going to happen next and what he needed from us to keep the project moving forward. We are beyond thrilled with the final product. We have been able to take our 70s “cardboard” split level house and turn it into our dream home. I would not hesitate hiring South Eastern Carpentry again for another project. If you’re looking for a partner to help create, rebuild, or renovate your home, you’d be lucky to get South Eastern Carpentry on your side.

did great job owner Steve always retuned phone callS work crew was very nice to work with

Stephen and team are excellent. Stephen was very easy and straight forward to work with in terms of scoping the work and pricing it out. We had other quotes, one at a lower cost, and his provided the most detail of the work involved. He is very communicative, more so than any other contractor I have worked with. Even while we waited on the windows to arrive, he kept us posted on the progress and timing of completing the work. He and his team are great at what they do, all very polite and respectful, and that carries over into the work done - very well done. They worked with us on a few changes, providing options and making recommendations. The work, itself, was excellent and met with Anderson installation requirements required to uphold the warranty. We would definitely work with Stephen and team again!

South Eastern Carpentry demolished our old deck and built a new Azek composite 31' x 18' deck with Key-Link railing and horizontal cables, including a whole new frame, stairway, and several footings. We cannot remark positively enough about Steve, the owner, and his crew of John and Joe. They hold themselves to exceptionally high standards in quality and professionalism, are personable, and communicate well. The new frame greatly exceeded building code standards, and our town Building Inspector remarked privately to us that he greatly respected Steve's projects among all the work he examines. A couple of unforeseen problems came up during the construction which Steve was able to solve on the fly, but Steve nevertheless stayed within the contract price and finished the deck when he said he would. They have a very strong work ethic, as evidenced by their excavating 4-foot deep footings by hand in 95 degree heat. Even though this was Steve's first Key-Link horizontal cable deck, he quickly progressed through a steep learning curve to a point, at the end, where he could have given Key-Link's engineers a few pointers about how to improve their product and make it easier to build. Steve and his crew took a level of expertise that is expected from finish carpenters, and applied those same skills and levels of quality to our deck.

So the Eastern Carpentry is top notch contractor . They explaining everything Hingham that need to be done. They gave options on what could be done ( option 1 keep the frame and replace the decking or a totally new deck including base frame work. I chose to keep the frame and the beefed it up to make it right for the composite decking. The job was done per the schedule they suggested and they also replaced some of my siding and trim while also adding proper flashing were the deck Meeks the house. They do a very professionalAL job and the entire deck look great. I highly recommend them. You get what you pay for and these guys are really good.

Top notch job from start to finish. Steve worked with us to get the design and price where we wanted it. Was totally professional, honest and went above and beyond to get the job done right. We couldn’t be happier with our deck. Feels like we are on vacation at a resort! I’ve used many contractors through the years but never any better. Steve kept us informed with GREAT communication during the whole process. His crew was courteous and professional and they do outstanding work. Excellent attention to detail. If you are looking for a quality job, done professionally and with NO Headaches, you need to hire South Eastern Carpentry.

Stephen and team were absolute professionals. They delivered on time, on budget with exceptional craftsmanship. They completely transformed our basement. Can't wait to have them tackle our bathroom. They aren't cheap, but provide TOP NOTCH service and quality.

We used South Eastern Carpentry to finish our 300 sq ft basement. Steve's vision, attention to detail and execution surpassed our expectations. His crew and subcontractors were friendly, professional and courteous. We received a preliminary estimate on the spot with a final estimate just a day later. Steve kept the project moving and we were enjoying our space just 4 weeks later!

We met with Stephen and were immediately impressed by his knowledge, punctuality, and attention to detail. He just seemed to care more about the prospective job, and know more about the work to be done than the others who came out for a first look at our house. Stephen clearly takes great pride in his company and their work, and that was very important to us when choosing who would work on our house. We ended up asking SEC to replace all of our doors (including the front door and a slider) during the project, and are so happy that we did. Everything looks amazing and we get compliments on their work by everyone who sees it. If you're looking for fine craftsmanship, the works these gentlemen do will not be surpassed, and they use high-end quality materials. Over the few weeks Stephen, Jon and Joe spent working on our house, even our dog (who is generally very skeptical of males) loved having them here--maybe not relevant to the work, but I think it speaks volumes to their character. Great group of guys. You'll be happy you hired them.

We hired Stephen Chorney to complete the bathroom renovations in our home. One bathroom was a large master bath that had been really poorly designed as the result of an addition. Stephen helped us completely redesign the space including moving plumbing to different areas of the room. In the second bathroom, we kept everything in its same place but took out all the old fixtures and made it like new. This job wasn't cheap. And at first it felt like a huge vitamin to swallow, but as we got into it, we really understood why. Stephen not only had to coordinate with his plumber, plasterer, and electrician, but also with a total of NINE different inspection visits from the city. What seems like a small space to redo is actually more like a complicated ballet of contractors and professionals. There could have been major gaps of time getting all these guys to line up at the right moments, but somehow Stephen made it work so that we had literally no down time on the job. One of the nicest things about this company, is the guys Stephen works with. His crew, Joe and John, are timely, courteous, always checking in to make sure things are okay, respectful, and neat. They work their tails off. Same with his sub-contractors. He has long-term relationships with these guys and it shows in how the job gets done. We had a few little punch list items at the end that showed up, and they were great about coming back out and truly finishing the job 100%. I would absolute not hesitate to hire them again. Not the cheapest guys around, but they work on your job start to finish and do beautiful work. The old adage you get what you pay for holds true here. (Note: Cost of service is for contracting/elec/plumbing only - not fixtures)

We were extremely pleased by the quality, professionalism and dedication. Having begun the project in late November the weather proved to be unpredictable, but they worked through it all, including snow and brutal cold. They were also extremely pleasant and very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. The quality of our new deck exceeds our expectations!

Steve and his crew did an amazing job. When they demolished the old stairs and decks, there were issues with the foundation revealed. Steve contacted me (while I was traveling abroad) as it was important to make decisions. He contacted an architect and the building inspector for the town and gave me my options. We had to make a complete design change which I approved via e-mail and telephone. He sent me photos every day of what was happening. The project did take an additional week, but the finished job is beautiful and was approved by the town. It is safe and sturdy. The price had to go up a bit just from the increase in hours that the crew had to put in. They were all so professional and competent. They arrived on time every day (My sister stayed in my first floor condo while the construction was going on and gave me feedback). They worked diligently and were always polite and courteous. I already knew Steve's work from the kitchen he had done in my friend's home. You cannot go wrong with South Eastern Carpentry, they are the best contractors around!

The project went as smoothly as possible and it was done as scheduled. The crew was punctual, and always very respectful of our space as they have been in the past. They did a superb job with a spectacular deck all done to our liking. Steve and his men were a pleasure to work with, they were professional and they knew their craft well. Overall, we were very satisfied and we look forward to working with this company again in the near future on other home improvements!

The quality of their work is impeccable! They were honest from start to finish and the timeline was met. They answered our questions and I'm very happy with the end result. Highly recommend.

Excellent craftsmanship performed by very talented finish carpenters.If you want a beautiful deck,these are the guys to hire.Steve,John, and Joe are three of the nicest people to deal with also.

The team is 100 % professional as well as talented and very hard working to do the job right !!!! We are proud to say that South Eastern Carpentry Inc built our dream deck and we can't thank them enough!!!

Steve and his men were awesome! They finished the project on time and the final product looks amazing !!! They were highly professional and extremely considerate to our family's daily routine-- they really minimized the interruption which comes with any big renovation project. They promptly arrived at 7 am daily and started work before we even left for work/school. We were always told of the progress and Steve routinely updated us on the findings that were not expected ( i.e. rotted wood) as he was working on it. The project went smoothly and we really appreciated Steve and his crew's attention to details...they always redid the work until they felt it was right. We felt that they did for us what they would have done for their own house! We look forward to working with Steve and his men again soon to build our deck. We were highly satisfied and were so glad to have found them for this project.

It was a pleasure to get to know both Steve and Jon as they worked on the room, and the results have certainly exceeded our expectations. We can’t speak highly enough about Steve, Jon, and the whole project, and we are looking forward to working with him again.

The job went extremely well. Steve, the owner, was very easy to work with throughout the project from the day we met for the initial estimate to the final night. He was responsive, honest and always very concerned about how we felt the job was going. Steve and John were on site every day at 7am. They were organized, incredibly neat and fanatical about making sure that every detail was completed perfectly. They seemed to have excellent working relationships with the subcontractors we needed. We came in within budget and the project was completed in 4 weeks. I would hire them again without reservation. Entire project for materials and labor was $58,000.

From start to finish we can't lavish enough praise on SEC . . Our home is 40 years old and everything was very "tired" --We weren't sure where to begin but after reading so many excellent reviews on Angie's list decided to start with a call to SEC. Steve answered our call immediately and explained he was about to start his once a year vacation--( we were calling late on the Friday afternoon before and he still answered). We agreed we would hear from him when he got back from vacation which we thought was great--but were even more impressed to have him confirm while on vacation to meet with us his first week back. As soon as you begin speaking with Steve you immediately sense his depth of knowledge and his confidence in that knowledge give you confidence in him. After reviewing our goals and needs with Steve we decided on all new Windows including a beautiful bay window in our l.r., new slider, new front and back exterior doors, new garage door, new gutters,shutters, front railings,and vinyl siding. We got one other review from someone who also rated well on Angie's list. We compared both estimates while initially SEC came in a bit higher upon line by line comparison things were being done the right and complete way with SEC YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON THE FEELING OF KNOWING THINGS ARE BEING DONE RIGHT! Our house looks amazing-better than when we first moved in new 40 years ago! Steve and John are incredible craftsmen. They were here bright and early and ready to go every day -basically from first to last light. They are a pleasure to have in your home. Very considerate and pleasant at all times. Every night everything was left cleaned up and organized. Our home had many " quirks" that presented need of solution, and the challenges were more than met in every case . Steve is such a stickler that every detail be perfect you don't need to be concerned because he has it covered. The work ethic is amazing. Even the fellow who came to pick up the dumpster couldn't say enough positive things about Steve. I could go on and on about how wonderful everything looks inside and out ( I love the new bay window and the beautiful woodwork framing it.) We would hire them again in a heartbeat and doesn't that say it all!
