Never called me back?
Description of Work: Never received a call back over 2 days and 3 calls for an estimate. Was in position #1.guess he's too busy to return calls. I did not have any estimates or any work done with this person. A callback would have been a nice courtesy though. Which is why I rated him as poor for professionalism and responsiveness. To be fair i called during the day and he might have been on a jobsite where he cant answer. But he did not call back after Hours either. I left 2 numbers to reach me at and had no missed calls from him.If there was something like a family emergency I appologize but the voice message said he would call back. I will have to call someone else I need to get this job done and cannot wait....... This is a fair rating for an experience I had attempting to get an estimate which I needed in a hurry. May not be someone to work with for rush jobs.

Response from AMMONS GENERAL CARPENTRY
I went over the messages last night when I returned home and returned the call this morning. I apologize that the call-back time was not timely enough for Member. I am on the jobsite all day and return calls just as soon as possible. I did talk to someone this morning (his mother) and she said the job should not take more than a few hours and did not want to hire my crew.

I contacted David online and he got back to me with a quote within a couple of days. We had some problems trying to schedule the job because both my wife and I work. I asked him if he worked on saturdays and he said no problem. We scheduled the job the following weekend. He showed up right on time and did exactly what he said he would.
Description of Work: David replaced an attic ladder that was in disrepair.

Dave came to the house when promised to look at the job and work up a quote. He gave a fair quote for the job. He started the job in the time frame that he indicated he would. If he had a hold up and could not come to the house, he called and let us know. He kept a neat and clean work site and he removed all construction debris. The workmanship was top quality. We would use him again on future projects.
Description of Work: Dave replaced old sliding doors with French doors, removed wainscoting and replaced it with drywall, and installed a hardwood floor.

David was very professional, arrived on time, and provided an estimate in writing in a timely manner. His estimate was very well priced and he did not mark up for materials. He was able to fit us into his schedule quickly. He performed the work in a craftsman-like manner and was very detail-oriented. We did not have to ask him to polish any of his work. He identified issues that might have been code problems when it came time to sell the house and repaired them. Overall he did a great job and we would highly recommend him
Description of Work: David finished the interior of a closet including drywall and trim. During the installation he found a few minor structural problems under the closet and repaired the framing. He also cleaned and re-grouted our bathtub and replaced a section of rotted Masonite siding. He replaced missing insulation under the house.

Mr. Ammons was prompt to get back to me with an estimated day that he could do the job. He had been very busy working overtime on other jobs, but was still willing to put me on his schedule that week. Mr. Ammons called me the night before to confirm his arrival time. I mentioned that I needed some caulking done, too, and he said he'd stop by the hardware store on his way and purchase it. He and his assitant arrived earlier that quoted which was great for us! Prior to starting the removal of the existing shower door, Mr. Ammons double-checked to make sure the shower door I had ordered would actually fit. We were a bit uncertain there for a moment, but Mr. Ammons decided that the measurements would in fact work and proceded with the job. I'm thankful he didn't just remove the shower door and then possibly find out otherwise! I left for an appointment and returned later that morning. They were still working on the job. It took about four hours to complete the removal and installation of the shower doors, remove the existing and install a new shower arm, plus the extensive amount of caulking that had to be done in two full bathrooms. I think it was definitely money well spent and would not hesitate to call him again.
Description of Work: Mr. Ammons and his assistant removed our brass-framed shower door and installed a brushed-nickel framed door. They also replaced a brass shower arm with a brushed nickel arm and did extensive caulking in our master bath and hall bathroom.

David Ammons called and emailed to set up an appointment. Confirmed the appointment and showed up on time. He scoped the job, provided an estimate when he said he would and once we agreed on a design he got me into his schedule. The job was done in less than three days and we could not be more impressed with his work. The pergola looks great, he did no damage to the yard and cleaned up the job site after the work was done.
Description of Work: We wanted a free standing pergola for our yard.

Mr. Ammons was prompt in attending our meetings, returning phone calls, and especially in installing the fence. He was also courteous and very helpful in all of our encounters. The fence is exactly as I wanted it and I will definitely use him again! Job well done!
Description of Work: Mr. Ammons came to my house to discuss some fencing work that I needed for the backyard. After determining my needs, he took measures, and committed to preparing an estimate for my consideration. Within a few days I received an estimate by email and we scheduled the work. After receiving a deposit for materials, Mr. Ammons immediately secured the supplies and installed the fencing in one day. It was perfect!

Mr. Ammons responded to my email in a timely manner and we scheduled an appointment for him to come to my home to see all the things I need to have done. He arrived for our appointment on time and was very informative during our tour. Unfortunately, he never sent me his quote and I have not heard from him since that appointment. We had tentatively agreed to use his services when he was at our home and are very disappointed that he has not followed through with his promises.

Working with David Ammons was a very pleasant experience. This project was not simple. The bonus room is full of angles and was not squared properly when it was built. He did excellent work to fix the room's squareness while handling partial cathedral ceilings that needed to be fired out in order to have the proper depth for ventilation and insulation of the roof. His work is very neat and clean. He works efficiently and is always timely. He will definitely be coming back to do the finish carpentry.
Description of Work: Mr. David Ammons fired out the joists of a 650 sq. ft. bonus room. Replaced most of the ceiling joists to try to square up the room. Rough framed in part of that room as well as a new closet and the expansion of a bathroom. He also finished the demolition of the bathroom where we were unsure if parts were structural or not.

David Ammons (owner) of Ammons General Carpentry responded to our initial email requesting information & a meeting to discuss within a day or two. On the day of our appointment David showed up on time and was very courteous. He listened to our desires, questions and offered suggestions. He took the needed measurements and said he would be back in touch with a quotation. Within a week we received his quote and explanation of work to be done. Everything was in order, and his price was competitive with our other quotes. Although we did not use him it was a pleasure working with him during the initial meetings, phone calls. We would definitely recommend Ammons General Carpentry to anyone needing deck work.
Description of Work: We required our current deck (30+ yrs old) be pulled down & removed, repair work to the sill under the sliding door to the deck, a new larger deck constructed according to current codes and a new sliding door to replace current sliding door. We requested several quotations and our final decision was to go with a different company other than Ammons.

I have worked with many contractors but David is truly a craftsman and is by far the best I have worked with in many years. From his prompt arrival time, easy going nature and outstanding quality of work I hope to use him for all future projects and will be a reference for him anytime.
Description of Work: We had sustained water damage from a damaged pipe. After getting the plumbing repaired David came by and gave us an estimate on the work to be done. His estimate was lower than a few others and he did all the work instead of subcontracting, which was fantastic. He repaired our hardwood bathroom floor, fixed drywall damage and fixed insulation and duct work under the house.

I was impressed with Mr. Ammons on his visit to give an estimate for the job. He took a lot of time looking at the exterior of my house with me, answering all my questions, making suggestions, pointing out areas that needed repairing. There was damage in places under the old siding, a window casing had to be replaced etc. He did all this in a timely, courteous, and friendly manner. He showed up when he said he would, kept me informed of the progress of the work, and finished when he said he would. He worked Saturdays if necessary. He kept any inconvenience to me at a minimum. Old materials were hauled away and debris cleaned up from my yard. He did several small repair jobs that were not in his original estimate at no extra charge, he even caulked around my bathtub for me. His work is excellent. I will definitely be calling him for other repair work.
Description of Work: Replaced siding with fiber cement Hardiplank, painted siding and all remaining trim on exterior, replaced 2 exterior doors, replaced storm windows, installed 2 vinyl windows to replace old wooden windows, rebuilt the inside casements on the 2 vinyl windows. This work was done in late October, early November of 2007.

David and his colleague did a tremendous job. He provided a quote over the phone, came to the house to take measurements and identify a material list, then returned as scheduled with all materials to perform the job. When the job was done, David charged exactly what was quoted over the phone and not a penny more. The gates match the deck perfectly - it looks like our deck was built with the gates installed from the beginning. They also function flawlessly and the white stain that was applied looks terrific. Our property was left neat and clean when the job was done. Overall, the craftsmanship was excellent and far exceeded our expectations. Will definitely call Ammons General Carpentry again for any carpentry or home repairs needed in the future.
Description of Work: Ammons General Carpentry (David Ammons) built and installed two gates (with latches) for the top and bottom of the stairway leading from my outdoor deck to the back yard. Needed to have gates installed to contain young child and pets. David also finished the new gates in solid white stain to match the railing on the deck and stairway.

David came out on a Monday and began work on Tuesday. We went on an hourly rate due to the nature of the job and I was beyond impressed with the speed at which he worked. He ALWAYS showed up on time and worked EFFICIENTLY. When he was finished, I was very pleased with the quality of his work. He will be my "go to guy" in the future for general handyman type repairs and services. I have been working on remodeling and additions to my home for over three years and David Ammons is one of the few people who have worked on my home that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Description of Work: David repaired drawers that were left in poor condition by a previous company, installed handles on about 40 cabinets and drawers, and changed outlets and light switches in three rooms. He is going to be building and installing wood shelves in two closets for me this week.

David was available to give me a fast and accurate estimate. He also was willing to work into the evenings to get the work completed as soon as possible (the house was unoccupied, and I was hoping to complete the work quickly to get the house on the rental market). David had worked previously on some carpentry repairs at our residence, and we were extremely happy with the quality of the repairs and with his work ethic. He was the only person I had in mind to call when we bought this additional property. I love that he is able to do a huge variety of handyman jobs in addition to just woodwork - he's pretty much a one-stop-shop for many types of repairs that have come up since we moved up here to Raleigh. Right now he is working on researching how to best clean and polish some exterior copper accents on the new house - he makes an effort to expand his scope of services in response to customer needs.
Description of Work: David and his crew repaired several rotted sections of wooden siding at an investment property I purchased, as well as repairing closet doors, reinforcing a wobbly stair rail, fixing some damaged interior trim, and replacing the exterior light fixtures. He also did extensive interior painting, but I hope to list that as a separate job under the painting category (so cost is not included above for the painting work).
