Old Time Carpentry

Kevin is not reliable or professional.He lies,and doesn’t complete jobs in a timely manner,because he has multiple jobs going at the same time.He charged us 1500 dollars to pressure wash house,and order a few pieces of siding.He blasted paint off gutters,and did a half a** job.We haven’t heard from him since last year.Do not hire this guy.

THIS WORK WAS GOOD BUT PRICES WERE ON THE HIGH SIDE. HE WAS TO ORDER SCREENS FOR US, NEVER CALLED. WE TRIED CALLING HIM SEVERAL TIMES AND HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. NOW TWO MONTHS LATER I HAVE TO START OVER.

DID NOT REPLACE ALL ROTTED WOOD WITH NEW. JUST CAULKED OVER THE ROTTEN PIECE. DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT PROPERLY. I AM DONE WITH THIS GUY. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM. I'VE CORRECTED THE PROBLEMS MYSELF. THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS BUT NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO TELL ABOUT.

HE ARRIVED ON TIME AND WENT WITH ME TO HOME DEPOT TO HELP PICK OUT THE ITEMS. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET AT THE HOME DEPOT AND HE ARRIVED LATE BECAUSE HE WENT OUT FOR FAST FOOD. HE WAS REPLACING A WASHER IN THE FAUCET BUT FOUND OUT IT REQUIRED MORE WORK. HE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE OK TO TAKE A SHOWER IN ANOTHER ROOM AND THIS CAUSED A FLOOD DAMAGING MY CEILING. I HAD TO GO THREE DAYS WITHOUT WATER. I ASKED HIM IF I NEEDED TO HIRE A PLUMBER AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS A PLUMBER. THE JOB KEPT ON BEING DELAYED FOR NUMEROUS REASONS. I HAVE CONTACTED A PLUMBER TO DO THE WORK. I NOW HAVE A POTENTIALLY DAMAGED CEILING AND HE HASN'T BEEN RESPONSIVE. I HAD WATER RUNNING DOWN MY TUB AND THROUGH MY CEILING. HE DID RETURN A PHONE CALL 3 DAYS LATER WHILE I HAD BEEN WAITING TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND DAMAGE. INSTEAD OF WAITING ANY LONGER, I HAD TO HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. HE'S A NICE GUY, BUT IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE. IT SEEMS LIKE HE GOT HIMSELF IN OVER HIS HEAD.

AFTER SEARCHING FOR ROOFING CONTRACTORS WITH GOOD RATINGS, I DECIDED TO CALL KEVIN. KEVIN WAS VERY PLEASANT TO DEAL WITH. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE SHOWED UP TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD, AND COMPLETED THE PROJECT QUICKLY. HE DID GOOD WORK, CLEANED UP AFTER HIMSELF, AND I FOUND HIS PRICING TO BE VERY REASONABLE. I WON'T HESITATE TO USE HIM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

HE CAME WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF ME CALLING. HE WAS PLEASANT. HE DID A GOOD JOB AND CLEANED UP.

HE WAS VERY PUNCTUAL AND CAME OUT QUICKLY. AS SOON AS YOU CALL HIM, HE DOES CALL YOU BACK RIGHT AWAY. HE FIXED THE REPAIR IMMEDIATELY, HE HAD EVERYTHING WITH HIM!

CAME AND INSPECTED THE ROOF AROUND THE SKYLIGHTS, ONE HAD A LEAK. AFTER INSPECTION HE SAID IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF DAY OF LABOR. HE SAID HIS PRICE PER HOUR WAS DEPENDENT ON THE JOB. HE TOLD US THAT THE COST WOULD BE $225. SO WE SCHEDULED THE WORK FOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18. HE CAME AT 10 MINUTES TO 8 AND WAS COMPLETED WITH THE JOB AT 9AM. I ASKED HIM WHAT ELSE HE DID AND THAT I HAD A SHOWER HEADS LEAKING, SO HE LOOKED AT IT, WENT TO HIS TRUCK AND GOT TEFLON TAPE, APPLIED THE TEFLON TAPE AND ASK ME IF I HAD A 10 SPOT FOR DOING THE TEFLON TAPE. I THOUGHT GETTING THROUGH WITH THE ROOF JOB IN AN HOUR WAS QUESTIONABLE AND IF I WASN'T IN A WHEELCHAIR I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CHECKED THE QUALITY OF HIS WORK. HE'S A FAST TALKER AND I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER AND GOTTEN ANOTHER ESTIMATE. $225.00 IS QUITE AN HOURLY RATE. LIKE A FOOL I ONLY HAD EIGHT DOLLARS AND DIDN'T WANT TO ARGUE.

I SPOKE WITH KEVIN ON WEDNESDAY, HE CAME OUT ON SUNDAY. THIS, AFTER 2 OTHER CONTRACTORS BOTH STRUNG ME ALONG FOR A MONTH EACH, PROMISING TO COME BUT NEVER DID. KEVIN SHOWED UP AS SCHEDULED (EVEN A LITTLE EARLY), WAS CHEAPER THAT THE OTHERS, AND HE DID MORE WORK THAN THE OTHERS SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO. ALL I NEEDED WAS SOME VERY MINOR ROOF REPAIR WORK, BUT SINCE IT WAS TOO SMALL, THE OTHERS DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. WHILE HE WAS HERE, TWO NEIGHBORS HIRED HIM ON THE SPOT AND WERE BOTH PLEASED AS WELL WITH HIS WORK. KEVIN WAS A STRAIGHT UP GUY, POINTING OUT OTHER REPAIRS I NEEDED, POINTING OUT THOSE I COULD DO MYSELF. HE WASN'T LOOKING TO GET RICH OFF OF ME, JUST DO A GOOD JOB FOR A FAIR PRICE.

TALKS A GOOD GAME - HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 24 HRS LATER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HE IS RATED AS HIGHLY AS HE IS.

MOST PUNCTUAL GUY I'VE EVER USED. I CALLED HIM AT 10:00 AND BY 10:30 HE WAS ON MY ROOF.

KEVIN WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND DID VERY GOOD WORK.

HE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE TO MY CALL. HE WAS SO QUIET I DID NOT EVEN KNOW HE WAS THERE. I DID LIKE HIM VERY MUCH. HE CALLED ABOUT THE JOB AND WAS NOT PUSHY IN ANY WAY. HE DOES REAL NICE WORK, VERY POLITE PEOPLE.

VERY PUNCTUAL, CAME QUICKLY AND FIXED THE PROBLEM ON THE SPOT.

CONVINCED ME THAT PROJECT WAS LESS SERIOUS THAN ANTICIPATED AND LESS EXPENSIVE.

KEVIN IS A VERY NICE YOUNG MAN. VERY POLITE. HE CAME OUT ON A SUNDAY MORNING TO REPAIR THE SHINGLES THAT WERE BLOWN OFF BY THE WIND FRIDAY NIGHT. HE DID A GREAT JOB ON REPAIRING THE ROOF AND ALSO PUT KNOBS ON MY KITCHEN CABINETS. HE WAS COURTEOUS AND DID A GREAT JOB. HE IS COMING BACK THIS WEEK TO DO SOME OTHER JOBS AROUND MY HOUSE. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH OLD TIME CARPENTRY AND WOULD RECOMMEND THEM WITHOUT ANY HESITATION.

DID A GOOD JOB ON MINOR ROOF REPAIR. INSTALLATION OF BRICK MOLD WAS OK; COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. DID A POOR JOB REPLACING WINDOW PANE; SLOPPY WORK. WOULD USE HIM FOR BASIC CARPENTRY ONLY.

ALL AROUND GREAT GUY AND WILL BE USING HIM FOR OTHER JOBS.

HOMEOWNER WILL NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE ABOUT WHEN THE WORK IS DONE. MY JOB WAS DONE IN SEVERAL STEPS REQUIRING SEVERAL TRIPS OUT TO THE HOUSE. I WAS ABLE TO BE HOME ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT DAYS FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE.

WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH ALL OF THE WORK THAT KEVIN HAS PERFORMED FOR US OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. HE IS PUNCTUAL, RELIABLE, AND PROFESSIONAL, AND HE ALWAYS DOES COMPETENT WORK. FOR THE CAT SITUATION, HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES TO OTHERS.

THERE WAS ONE ITEM THAT HE COULD NOT HANDLE AND HE WAS UP FRONT WITH ME ABOUT THAT. HE RECOMMENDED AN ELECTRICIAN INSTEAD. HE WAS VERY HONEST.

KEVIN HAD IDEAS THAT MADE THE JOB EASIER (AND CHEAPER) THAN I EXPECTED. THE PRICE INCLUDES TWO VISITS TO MY HOUSE - ONE TO CONSULT, MEASURE AND TELL ME WHAT MATERIALS TO BUY AND THEN HE CAME BACK TO DO THE INSTALLATION. KEVIN SHOWS UP BRIGHT AND EARLY AND GETS RIGHT TO THE WORK -- DOESN''T DILLY-DALLY. I SENSED THAT HE WORKED BEST WHEN I WASN''T HOVERING OVER HIM, BUT HE WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT CLARIFYING WHAT I WANTED WHEN DISCERNMENT WAS CALLED FOR THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT (LIKE HOW HIGH TO PUT THE TOP SHELF, HOW TO SPACE THE SHELVES, ETC.) HE ASKED FOR A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP AND FIXED MY DOOR BELL ON THE SPOT! NICE GUY, GOOD WORK.

I HAVE THE HARDEST TIME WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS RETURNING MY CALLS. UNTIL NOW I WAS VERY DISCOURAGED. OLD TIME CARPENTRY REDEEMED MY CONFIDENCE. HE CALLED BACK RIGHT AWAY AND NOT ONLY SHOWED UP FOR OUR APPOINTMENT, BUT WAS ON TIME! HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF MATCHING THE NEW SHINGLES WITH THE OLD ONES. YOU CANT EVEN TELL WERE THE ROOF WAS REPAIRED. HE CLEANED EVERYTHING UP SO WELL I HAD A HARD TIME RECOGNIZING IF THE WORK WAS DONE. IT WASNT UNTIL I CHECKED THE TRASH WHERE I FOUND HIS DISCARDED MATERIAL, THAT I KNEW IT WAS. THEN MY NEIGHBOR, LOOKING OUT FOR ME, EVEN CONFIRMED IT WHEN SHE TOLD ME A MAN HAD BEEN ON MY ROOF. MY ROOF HASNT LEAKED SINCE! I AM VERY PLEASED WITH OLD TIME CARPENTRY.
