We have a 75 year old home so I was looking for something to match the existing details of my home. Joe returned my call on the same day and he scheduled a time to meet. He was very professional and gave me very good advice. Over the next few weeks we had several exchanges through email. Every time I had a question he would return my email promptly. He told me about a website that carries the parts for the banister and recommended that I take digital photos which he sent to the company to insure that it was an exact match to the banister upstairs. Within two weeks all of the parts were ordered and he and his partner, John Z, came out to start the work. John spent about 3-4 full days at my house for the installation and cuttings making sure every detail was in place. I never knew how complicated placing a curved handrail could be, but I could see by all of the calculations and fittings that it is a lot harder than it looks. John pays a lot of attention to detail and both he and Joe take a lot of pride in their work (which is very difficult to find in this day and age). After John was done with the job, Joe came out again to make sure that I was completely satisfied. The workmanship was excellent and I could not be happier.
Description of Work: Installed a banister including newel post, curved handrail and spindles at the bottom of our stairs. Installed a door to the basement.

JOE WAS PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB AND WILL CALL HIM IN A HEARTBEAT IF I EVER NEED A CARPENTER.
Description of Work: I WAS GETTING A NEW BATHROOM FLOOR INSTALLED ONLY TO FIND THAT THE JOISTS UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR WERE ROTTED. THE JOISTS WERE UNEVEN AND THE FLOOR COULD NOT BE INSTALLED UNTIL THEY WERE FIXED. I CALLED JOE ON A FRIDAY, HE CAME TO MY HOUSE THAT DAY AND DID THE JOB ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. JOE STRENGTHENED THE JOISTS, REPLACED ALL THE ROTTEN WOOD AND HE EVEN LEVELED MY BATH TUB!

MR EMERY IS AN EXPERT AT PORCH REPAIR AND DID THE JOB WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE PORCH ROOF, OR GARDENS AROUND THE PORCH. HE WAS WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH.
