Old New England Carpenter

unknown

He is an excellent carpenter, he takes his time and does it right, and he stays with it until it is complete. He is not jumping around to other jobs and things like that. If people want quality work, he is an excellent work. He may be pricier, but he does quality work, and I figured that before I went in, because I read on Angie's List, and he did what he said, and didn't disappoint at all. When I contacted him, he was doing a job, it took him about a week before he came over, looked at everything that I wanted, and about 5 days later, he came back with a proposal. I said fine. This house is probably over 100 years old, and he ran into things he didn't expect, but he never waived from the price. There were extra trips to do things that he needed to finish, and he never changed the price. If that had been somebody that was an amateur, or somebody who did not have the experience that he did, this job would not have been done to my satisfaction. He made it all look new, and I considered it a safety item. I didn't not compare the prices to anybody else, but I have no qualms about the price.  When he spoke to me and explained everything that he had to do, he did it, and he ran into problems, and it took him an extra 6 hours for him to do, and there was never any waiver of the contract. I paid in 3rds, when he finished in parts. He said I should pay in a third when he started, a third when he was half way through, and a third when he finished. I was happy with that, and he was happy with that. I have been with my daughter looking at new homes, and the workmanship cannot compare. It would be hard to beat the quality he did. He and his son work together, and they took measurements, looked at everything, and got the materials that he thought was needed. When he came with the proposal, everything was broken down. Once he started, they stuck to the job. He left the door unpainted until the weather warmed up, and it took 3 coats, so he took it off one day, and he brought it back the next evening. He said he would be here at 8:00, he was here at 8:00, if he said he would be here at 8:30, he would be here at 8:30. I told him I have a masonry job that I don't want to get done right now because of the freezing temperatures, so when the spring comes, I will get in touch with him, and he said it is fine.

HE WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE. HE IS ABLE TO HANDLE MANY OTHER TASK. I ENJOY HIS QUALITY OF WORK. WE HAVE USED HIM MANY TIMES. HE IS VERY RELIABLE. HE IS GREAT.
