Well, i was referred by a neighbor who had used Custom Carpentry last winter and told me how fantastic his prices were on the remodeling of their kitchen. I had seen work and was amazed myself. I called Kenny Butler, president of Custom Carpentry to discuss some minor remodeling needed and he met me in my home the next day. While in my kitchen he noticed how hot it was with the sun BLARING in and asked me about my electric bill costs. After telling him how much i pay for A/C each month, he mentioned his 3M Window film and how it really helps. He was right! After they installed the film, i couldn't BELIEVE the difference it made in the rooms! They were much cooler and the lighting was so nice with the sun coming in, we could actually enjoy it. I would highly recommend them for both services any time. Keep up the great work guys and thanks for your help!!
Description of Work: installed 3M Window film on all my Eastern facing windows to control heat and fading.

We solicited multiple quotes for this big project, and Custom Carpentry Plus had the best ideas and flexibility. We had a general idea of what we wanted (built in book shelves on a long wall in our living room), but we had trouble imaging some of the unique features (such as how to incorporate our fireplace and windows). They came up with a competitively priced quote, with "big" ideas. They went all out, building a unit that far exceeded our expectations. We hoped for something really impressive and stunning and we certainly got it. What was previously a bland taupe wall is now gorgeous floor to ceiling oak stained cabinets with tons of detail. They matched our personal style and the style our home. They did all the work on site in a week and a half, and were able to schedule the project very quickly after we settled on a price and scope of the project. We are ecstatic about our new custom cabinets and are now wondering where else we can add built ins to our house!
Description of Work: Custom built in cabinets for a 15 foot wall, from floor to ceiling, surrounding a fire place.

It took about three days to complete and paint the area. The lighting is beautiful and the front storm door works like a charm. I was given a demo on how to operate the door. They were prompt and started work soon after the estimate was given, covered the area of the kitchen for painting and patch work. I needed extra work that was not discussed because of the defective dimmer switches. I was impressed with their strict adherence to code and the care taken to fit the storm door.
Description of Work: Carpentry Plus added a frame and storm door to my front door. The door was not square so it took some adjustment. The color and style of the door was appropriate since it showed the red door that they had installed the previous year. Lovely job! I also had a serious problem with defective recessed lighting in the ceiling of my kitchen. There were 11 small 4 inch recessed lights installed when my kitchen was put in that were all defective and difficult or impossible to replace the bulbs when they wore out. I wanted to replace them with LEDS 4 inch. The installation seemed simple but required removal of the previous recessed cans and the new kits were not up to code and did not have one component. Mr Edwards who was doing the work refused to do a less than standards job and returned to the hardware store to purchase the required part. My dimmer switches also needed to be replaced since they turned out to be defective and would not hold the load. The job looks excellent. The lights are brilliant and save money over time. Plus the did an excellent job patching and painting the ceiling and around the lights so that the change is undetectable. They cleaned up after the job.

They were excellent. They worked with us on the specific application we wanted on the front of the house, which was a little out of the norm. They were able to deal with that nicely. We had an issue with the new pieces not matching up with the original siding, which they were also able to deal with. I thought they were great.
Description of Work: They replaced the window crossheads on the front of the house. They also did a little touch-up painting, although the crossheads came pre-painted.

The estimate was presented quickly and was reasonable. The owner/manager discussed the job with his carpenters to find the best solution to a complex problem, cost vs difficulty. The workmen were all courteous and helpful. They rescheduled my work to earlier to accommodate me and were very flexible. I needed the door handle replaced later because the original was defective. No extra charge. They painted the door a color of my choice and it looks fabulous. The only hold up was with suppliers and to be expected and the job was completed well. I was extremely pleased with their work.
Description of Work: Replaced front Entrance door and sidelites. Removed old door and removed just the sidelite glass frame not the entire panels on two sides. Replaced the old sidelites with clear glass panels, framed in the new door and made sure all was plumb. Patched and repainted the exterior framing and painted the door and sidelites inside and outside matching paints. Deadbolt and door handle replaced.

The job went smoothly. Ken Butler, owner, was easy to reach and discuss any changes or additions with. The crew works extremely well together, courteous, and go an extra mile to make me happy. Trash was hauled away and all cleaned up when they left. I have no complaints. The electrician did one extra job for me and replaced two defective recessed light cans in my kitchen. The framing of the door looks excellent and the recommended heat source works very efficiently. They go out of their way to work within your budget research suppliers for best prices. I plan to use Custom Carpentry again for some exterior painting in the spring and to do some more minor work in my home.
Description of Work: This company did such an excellent job on my front door that I hired them to remodel my sunporch into an art studio/family room. The original room had louvered windows, poor heat, was uninsulated, and had exposed exterior brick below the windows. Construction began with the removal and replacement of the windows which were also plumbed and squared. They were framed in and a longer sill/ledge built with molding underneath to add to the finish. The new windows are a higher R value and a new exterior door added. The ceiling was insulated and a trap door left, recessed lighting added and a new ceiling fan to replace the old. The lighting is on dimmer. The brick was framed and insulated, then drywalled. The drywall and trim painted. They even shoveled my driveway when it snowed. Door knobs and deadbolts replaced throughout.

This project exceeded my expectations on every front. The contractor himself paid us three visits for discussions of what we wanted and how we envisioned the end product. We had definite ideas and he had some excellent suggestions which improved the overall design. After all these discussions, we were given the oppoortunity to review and revise the contract document to reflect our understandings of his proposal. He was very willing to go through the contract document line by line and answer all our questions to our satisfaction. He forecast a project timeline that would have us completed 30-45 days after the contract was signed, and indeed, this schedule was met. The actual on-site work began on June 24 and finished on July 21. The custom cabinetry was started on July 16, the day we signed the contract. All through the project, the contractor and his crew were communicative, respectful of our home, and a delight to work with. Each day's tasking pretty much followed the schedule discussed on a weekly basis, so we always felt we knew what was going to happen next. We were consulted each time there was a preference issue. Overall, this was an outstanding company and an outstanding contracting experience. The work was completed to our entire satisfaction and it comes with a one-year warranty on workmanship.
Description of Work: This was an interior renovation and the renewal of a 28 year-old deck. The renovation involved a make-over in the kitchen and the adjacent family room. Cabinets were added to a small laundry room off the kitchen. Crown moulding was added to the dining and living rooms. The deck was renewed using the original footings and joists, and following the original design. New Trex decking, cap rail, and privacy screen were installed, as well as lattice skirting and new steps. In the kitchen, the original builder-grade cabinetry was removed and replaced with updated cabinetry. A small nonload-bearing wall was removed, as well as the island. The existing flooring was retained and well protected during the project. All existing lighting was removed. The existing appliances were retained and resited in their original locations except for the refrigerator which was moved left about 18 inches to make room for a new floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinet. A granite countertop was installed, with a granite backsplash, which was further topped with a decorative tile backsplash. A new undermount sink and faucet set were installed. In lieu of a new island, the design incorporated a pennisula which appoximated a "U" shape. Ten new recessed lights were installed in lieu of the lighting previously used. This really lightened up the room! A custom-made 46X80 bookshelf was installed. The family room renovation involved removing original panelling and replacing it with drywall. A custom-made beautiful 13-foot wide builtin cabinet/bookcase/entertainment center was installed on an end wall. The wall to wall rug was removed and replaced with a Bruce hardwood floor to match the floor in the dining room. Four recessed lights were installed as well as a flushmount ceiling fan. Other aspects of the project were painting of the kitchen and family room, new cabinets in the laundry and new paint there as well. New doors were installed on the laundry, existing pantry and foyer closet. All of this work was done in an extremely professional manner, with little wasted effort and with daily clean up. We allowed them the use of one side of the garage, which made staging the project materials very convenient.
