"I was expecting good work, given the previous reviews, but this blew me away! Hal has an attention to detail that is truly not seen in this day and age. He rounded the edges of every board used in the fence. The spacing between boards were all customized so that every section looked perfect. He created a deck that captured the style of the house, and also created a seamless transition between the decks on either side. The arbors are lovely. He talked me out of a few things and came up with better solutions that I love. He also listened to my ideas and went with them when they made sense.
The guy is a craftsman! Little things matter: perfect beveled corners on the deck. A birdhouse needed to be re-located as part of the project. Hal noticed that the birds were still nesting in it, so worked around it and came back to relocate it when it was safe. Then, without my asking, he fixed the birdhouse so that it would be easier for me to clean it.
I've had many, many glowing comments from friends, neighbors, and family. People I know who do carpentry for a living were also very impressed by his work.
Things you should know: This is not a big operation. It's Hal plus a helper or two. You need to be flexible on starting dates, and it may take longer to finish than you think it will. Hal cuts all the boards in his shop before assembly on site - he really does. If it seems like the project should be starting and you don't know why he's not on site, that's why. The finished product is totally worth the wait.
