Brandon's Carpentry Service

Bob and Brandon did an EXCELLENT job installing the requested trim work.  They worked very closely with me to ensure the installation met my expectations. The work was meticulously   Very nice guys to work with.  We ran into one snag about the cost but resolved immediately.

I put the job out to bid to 3 contractors.  Brandon?s was the lowest bid.  It was not a fixed bid but time and materials.  Brandon estimated the labor.  He did not use allowances for the fixtures in his estimates instead saying that I should select what I wanted and control that cost.  (I liked that as the other contractors' allowances were not transparent.)  Brandon buys the fixtures using his discount.  So together we created the final estimate.  He asked that I select all the fixtures and the materials all be ready before he started work so that the project could be as short as possible.  The final cost was close to original estimate.  Most of the increase came from selection of fixtures.  The labor increases were all  understandable?some from the tile ?matching? process and some from the electrical repairs.

I was introduced to Brandon by a decorator that had worked with him for many years.  One of the reasons I chose them was the decorator and Brandon?s references (which were excellent) said that they would complete the job to my satisfaction.

Brandon?s subcontractors were excellent and they were very nice folks.  The tile installer was very meticulous and ?matched? the grain of the pattern in the tile as I asked him.  Everyone came as scheduled.  The work proceeded straight through until we hit a snag with the granite.  The granite guy cut the granite without allowing us to lay a template.  Brandon found a new granite supplier within 2 days and we started over on the granite at no extra cost to me.  If we had not had this interruption the work would have been completed in about 4 weeks.

All workers came when they were scheduled.  Since I work from home they honored my request to be quiet.  Dropcloths were put down to cover the floors to the bathroom and each day they were taken up and the path was swept clean.  In the entire project I never heard one curse word from anyone.

Brandon was very likeable and easy to work with.  When there were choices or problems he would explain my options and the costs so I could make an informed choice.  He is also very kind and honest and said he worked with subs that he could trust to be in your home.

I would highly recommend working with Brandon?s Carpentry for a renovation.  This was my first renovation and the project went very smoothly.

We had Brandon replace several balusters and add decorative trim to our deck.  He was quick to reply to our request for a quote, and performed the work shortly thereafter.  We are very pleased with his work and will certainly call upon him for future projects!

Did a great job and solved many technical challenges.

Rather than building the support brackets for the side entrance roof, Brandon recommended that I purchase wooden brackets for supporting the roof. He recommended a manufacturer on line and I purchased brackets from them. They were not overly expensive and look very nice. Brandon removed and disposed of the old wood and when finished with all of the work, cleaned up the work area. Since the work was done in the Autumn, there were some weather delays but the work was completed in a timely manner. The labor and materiel charges were very reasonable and fit into my budget. Brandon is honest and doesn't cut corners but does quality work. The only thing you need to be aware of is that he does not do painting. You will need to hire a painter or do the painting yourself. This is the second time he has done work for me and I would hire him again.

There were a few delays but it was not his fault. The lumber supplier did not order the lumber on time so he got a late start and since it was late in the year the weather did not cooperate. He did the work in a timely manner and I felt it was well worth the price that I paid. He did quality work and was very knowledgeable. Brandon was friendly and cordially treated me as an equal. I thought his price was a little expensive but I have not had to hire a carpenter before. He also had a couple of other things going on but he was here almost every day on time so he was very timely and professional. I will use him again in the future.

He did an excellent job. Called me back in an efficient manner. Showed for the job on time and completed the job within time stated. I would use him again.

He completed the work recently. He tore down the whole chimney of our two-story house. Then, he rebuilt it to the first level to accommodate a direct vent fireplace. Later, he resided the house. He built out a new chimney half way up with a roof to accommodate a direct vent fireplace. We spent $6000 on the job. We had received 3-4 bids, but his price was the best. He did a really good job. The quality of his work was excellent. He was very conscientious. He was on time and professional. We were really pleased with his work. We will definitely hire him again in the future.
