About us

I am a one-man show. I do employ laborers from time to time but nobody that I wouldn't trust in my own home. I can and will recommend sub-contractors but I will not employ them to do part of a job. My goal is to start and finish one job at a time unless my customer needs me to give them time to complete a portion of a project.

I did not hire or even hear from this outfit. I did hear from 2 other outfits, one of which was Landmark Construction Co. The gentleman arrived after calling, and in 1/2 hour the job was done in a very professional manner. The problem was a hinge on the door between the house and the garage that had loosened. I was delighted that a nuisance was taken care of that quickly. The price was right ($110) and the work was excellent.

Lou is fantastic to work with. All other general contractors and tradesmen should be as easy and fun to work with. Prompt, responsive, frequent updates, and outstanding work. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a contractor or carpenter.

Lou did a great job. He was on time every day. The work was all completed as promised. Lou took the time to discuss best options for maintaining the deck.

Lou does timely quality work. He does not mess around, and tells it like it is. Checks every step and every cost with customer, explains well, no surprises. If he finds an unforeseen problem, he explains it carefully. Great guy, great carpenter/

Lou did an excellent job of replacing and leveling a front porch on an old home.  He promptly provided a quote and was able to fit us in on his schedule for the next week.  We had several other contractors look at our porch but they either wanted to install a concrete porch (not appropriate and too expenseive for this house) while another contractor seemed puzzled about how to level the porch. Lou was confident from the get-go about how to fix this old porch. Thank goodness we found him. He knew exactly how to level and replace the porch without having to lift and straighten out the concrete pillars. The porch looks great is very stable.  Thanks Lou!!!

"Thank you so much for your review [member name removed]. I would like to just make sure that it is mentioned that I informed you guys that it would be very difficult to match up the stucco as I am not a painter. I really did want to do a good job and spare you guys the hassle of having to find a painter. I am sorry that my quality did not meet your standards."

Had I known we could find such a talented carpenter months ago, I surely would have called much sooner.  Great work!

Lou's quality of work was outstanding. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the job he did for us. The scope of the job was beyond what I could do myself so I am grateful I contacted Lou. He was always on time and was sure to ask my opinion and offer options for the repairs. I plan on hiring Lou again in the future for a custom cabinet in our kitchen.

Louis was a wonderful find for us when we had some exterior projects that needed to be done before having our house painted.  When we contacted Louis, he was able to able to  fit us in between some larger jobs that he had.  He was prompt and eager to find solutions to some problems that had plagued us for several years.
Louis designed and made blocks to support sections of porch railing to counteract & prevent sagging.  He replaced a curled floorboard.  He was able to enlarge an area of gutter where a downspout was connected to help prevent clogs & ice dams.  He made 2 large mailbox posts plumb again.  He worked with us to address several other things that might be an issue for the painters, including re-nailing sections of clapboard.  He also tailored some sections of trim on an older Trex deck that had bowed badly.
We had him look at a gazebo that has developed a bowed floor and we plan to have him back in the spring of 2014 to address it.

Lou is a great guy to work with! Super professional and incredibly detail oriented. He was hired to complete our trim project and we couldn't be happier.  Lou worked on baseboards, window and door trim. He was always there when he said he'd be and stuck with the budget. We would love to work with him in the future!

Lou did a very nice job replacing the siding on my home.  He was attentive to details and did good quality work.  He did a good job of communicating with me during the work.  The job came in slightly under budget, and I was satisfied with the overall value I received.

I found Lou on Angie's List and heard his name a local block party. His immediate responsiveness was great right from the start. I have a 110 year old house so it seems like few want to take on the unique challenges of a old home.  Lou didn't seem concern one bit by the age of my house as he has a lot of experience in such homes. i hired him to handle a bedroom renovation project.  I twas a complete renovations project that consisted of building a closet, some general construction repair work, (remember very old house), drywall, and finish carpentry (moulding.) He gave me a detailed proposal and responded very quickly to all my questions. 
Lou's communication is great and key for me in working with a contractor. He's an all around good and trusting guy. I gave him the access code to my house and he performed the work while I wasn't home. This is critical to me to be able to trust the contractors I hire. The work site was clean each day and I never had any concerns.  At the finish of the project he was under budget as well. I was very pleased.
The work and craftsmanship are excellent. He is experienced and pays attention to detail. I was so pleased with the outcome of the first project I had him immediately start a second project. The second project was actually started by another contractor who's work was marginal at best. Lou stepped in and fixed the problems left by the original contractor. The same second project involved installing trim on a custom oval window. Lou was excited for the challenge and it turned out awesome. 
In short, Lou is a great contractor and a talented guy. His responsiveness, communication, flexibility and quality make him my ideal contractor. 
I look forward to working with him on my many projects.

Lou, and the other workers (Eric and Rick) were courteous and professional.  They showed up on time and let me know if there was going to be a delay or difficulty with a specific part of the project.  He completed the project in 11 days, well ahead of his estimate of two weeks. He even helped me with a few small extra projects. Each day, we discussed what he would try and accomplish that day so that I could move the small pieces of furniture ahead of time.  He kept tight timelines and finished about a room a day.  If I needed a specific room put back the same day, he tried to make sure that the large pieces of furniture were placed back in the room by the end of the day.  The floor looks gorgeous and is so easy to clean. I am enjoying the beauty of the new floors and remain very happy with his work.  I wish I had done this earlier!

I called and explained my need, and Lou responded promptly.  He fit me into his schedule over the holiday weekend, because he knew he had a big job coming up and I needed the work done sooner (since my new insurance co was requiring it).  He came out and asked med a good amount of questions, and explained the work he would do.  He showed up the next day and built the stairs, the job was done very well and very quickly.  I would have liked if he had been able to get rid of the lumber for the old stairs, but to be fair we never had discussed that, and so it is fine.  I may have to have him come out again, since a small piece between the railing and the post has a split, but Lou seems great and has told me if there are problems to contact him and he'll take care of it.  I am very pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the stairs and overal Lou's professionalism.
