"Jim and Mark were both professional and helpful. Jim contacted me right away and was patient and knowledgeable figuring out exactly how we want things done and the most cost effective way of doing the project. We had a big change on our end, and he took everything in stride calmly and professionally. I really hope to get the chance to work with Jim and his team in the future! Couldn’t ask for a better contractor."

In a nutshell:

Carpentry:  Excellent

Communications skills: Abysmal.



I joined Angie's list due to work this man had performed at a new neighbor's home a block from us.  She did warn me of "difficulty"  in communicating with him due to a hearing or other issue and all was via e-mail with exception of recent text messages.

First contact was a year ago.  He had several personal health and family issues over this year  which led to his beginning the job  yesterday.  He was to have been here on Monday but ran into an issue of inspector timing on another job so began yesterday morning after he apologized and then said he would be here all day until totally finished on Tuesday. 

He arrived at about 9:30am--all seemed great, things were progressing well. My husband had already had to do some work which was necessary due to recent rain and the inability of Mr. Andrews to come when originally hoped (he was ill)  Mr. Andrews seemed pleased with what had been done and with the materials we had there although my husband had apparently gotten the wrong insulation.  Mr. Andrews spoke to my husband on the phone and I took photos of the opening to more fully explain to my husband what was happening/why the insulation he bought was the wrong kind.  Mr. Andrews did leave for a short while yesterday to get some shims.  I went outside at about 3 pm--curious to see the progress. About half of the work was done, the work area was still set up but he and his son were not there.  I came around to the front of the house to see Mr. Andrews and his son begin driving away.  I walked up to front of yard near the street where they pulled over to the curb.  It was very hot and muggy, Mr. Andrews told me he couldn't work any more that day--was not up to it health wise since he was just very ill for a couple of weeks.  I am an RN and fully understood and told him his health came first. They said they would be back in the morning.   I did think it was odd that they did not make any effort to tell me or text me before they were driving away.  It was a total coincidence that I happened to come out when I did.  It ended up raining about 15 min. later so no harm done. Chalk another one up to poor communication skills.

I had to work today.  My husband had to stay and work from home due to the wood work schedule change.  My husband is a professional engineer.  He is also a very kind gentleman and offered to get some ply wood for Mr. Andrews to stand on in the pachysandra next to the last board to be fixed rather than get his feet stuck in the plants.   Mr.. Andrews COMPLETELY and erroneously accused my husband of not liking him walking in our plants as well as criticizing his work.  I know my husband.  He is NOT AT ALL that kind of person.  I have actually been told in the past that he is actually pretty easy to work with for an engineer. He asks questions because he likes to know the details of how it all works--especially from an expert carpenter.   Mr.. Andrews dropped the board, told my husband he was done and wasn't going to finish the job, he couldn't work with us since my husband didn't like him walking in the plants and he believed my husband was criticizing his work.  My husband tried to tell the man this was not at all the case.  Mr. Andrew's sons were both there and apparently understood the truth  that COMPLETELY was misinterpreted by Mr. Andrews.  

There were other communications issues along the way that caused head scratching.  We thought Mr. Andrews was going to give us a list of needed materials for us to order.  He did not.  He did tell us he was a labor only carpenter.  We did, however originally think after the initial contact that Mr. Andrews would at least let us know what materials he required. We thought we would get a written estimate.  We did not receive anything in writing except what was in our Angie's List e-mails. We chalked that up to our own inexperience and possible misinterpretation of what was said in our in-person original contact with him so very long ago. We trusted him.

Given the rain of the last 3 weeks, Mr. Andrew's recent illness and the gaping hole in the side of the house-my husband did much more work on this project than he wanted or ever expected to .  This included all measurements and figuring out what and where to find the materials needed (the clap board is an unusual width) My husband had to put up sheathing and fix the roof line to protect from the rain. It took hours he doesn't have to spare. The bulk of the clap board wood work was left for Mr. Andrews who had said all was great when he got here yesterday.  If we had not seen Mr. Andrew's work and also had had a deadline of any kind, we would not have had him work for us in the beginning.  I feel we gave him a LOT of slack/understanding given the issues he had and how much time we waited.  

Today, was totally mind boggling!  The man just packed up and left. He apparently can not handle any questions or curiosity  He did come back telling my husband his sons told him to take whatever we decided his work was worth.  The original labor proposal was for $750.00. We furnished/paid for all materials.  Mr. Andrews told my husband the work last board  would be about $50.00..  The final payment was $700. 

Again, we will not have him for anything ever again--given his bizarre reaction to my husband, we are sure he would not come back.  The work he did finish was good.  His communications skills are very poor.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
