We've worked with this company in the past and really appreciated the quality of work . They are not the cheapest contractor out there, but you can rely on them. Dave is very good at returning calls and communicating with his customers. His crews are smart, friendly and competent... I was told they would arrive on a certain day and they did, completing the job efficiently and cleaning up after themselves. Great company

It took longer than I thought, but there was more to it that I thought also. They did a great job, and were here everyday/all day once they started.  They finished in just over a week and they knew what they were doing, doing it well.

It went very well. We are very pleased. They responded very well and gave us a safe bid. They came in and did the work quickly and were very good to deal with.

He found a problem with the way my bathroom vent was installed, and he solved that problem before continuing - very much appreciated! The job was done on time, on budget, and professionally handled. It was a mess afterwards, but that is the way it goes with dense-packed insulation. And there were a few nicks on the new sheetrocked walls because of the equipment, but again, not sure that can be avoided. I would hire him again, without reservation.

They did an excellent job. Dave was excellent about explaining what would be the best thing to do for my insulation, which I knew already from extensive research, but I was checking to make sure he knew what to do. He was excellent about explaining his estimate. They were arrived in a timely manner after I hired them, and completed on time. The workers were profession, completed the job to spec, and cleaned up after themselves.
I had Dave give me estimates for a couple other jobs, but the prices were higher than competitors.

Very professional. Once work started (had to wait awhile) it proceeded daily until finished. Changes in work order were easy to make. Workers were hardworking, easy to work with. Cleaned area completely after project. Hardest part was setting a work start date. I would definitely hire again.

It went well. Masked windows and doors carefully. Filled stud cavities as full as possible. Removed protruding excess foam.

It took them quite a while to get here but when they did do the job, it was adequately done. Once they started the job got done quickly. We paid them in November and they didn't come till March. There was a little bit of understanding that they might get to the job a little bit late.

Lets just say if you know Murphy's Law you know how this project went, but Dave Joyce and is crew stuck with it and completed it with smiles on their face and left us with smiles. We are looking forward to doing more windows and sliding doors, along with a new deck with Dave and his crew this coming year.

We had built a small house and he put this on without realizing that one side of our house was a little longer than the other and so, he came straight off of it. Therefore, it made the peak of our roof a little croaked from what the regular house roof was. When I tried to say something, he'd say professionals have to deal with the problems you make. We did have a little bit of problem with the estimate he gave us. We thought that it included more than what he ended up saying he did, so there was a little confusion and I ended up putting a stop payment on his check until we got it taken care of. However, they are a pretty good company and do good work. He is a pretty good guy has been in for quite a while now. We just ran into some problems because of not understanding the estimate he had.

Right from the beginning, David Joice and his crew did an excellent job on all tasks. They were professional, efficient, experienced, and very easy to work with.
They started and finished right on schedule.
David pointed out several special situations and proposed good solutions, for example insulating the location for a shower enclosure on an exterior wall. He also coordinated well with the drywall contractor so that attic insulation was done at the right point in the drywall process.
David also helped with some small-scale carpentry work on very short notice.
I would not hesitate to call David Joice for any construction task.

They are professionals, friendly and courteous. They ask you questions and listen to your requests. They ask you if you have any questions or concerns throughout the project. They clean up after themselves at the end of each work day. They suggest ideas that only comes with years of experience. I liked the work so much that I now consider them my and quot;handy manand quot; for all projects needing professional help.

Very pleased with the entire project. Coordinated the procurement of Azek from one local company and railing from an on-line company. Nice attention to detail.
All debris was cleaned up well.

I used another business for my landscaping and driveway and I would never recommend that business to anyone asking me. I would, however, tell everyone that they should contact David Joice at The Carpentry Works for their remodeling, insulating and building needs. You won't find a more knowledgeable contractor.
