LW3 CARPENTRY LLC

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.

Work was outstanding. Lou was always on time and kept me informed on his schedule, Weather was a challenge, but Lou was able to complete the job in a timely fashion. Would use LW3 Carpentry again.

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!!!

Lou was always on time and worked tirelessly all day.  He listened to and addressed all of our concerns.  He also provided valuable tutorial lessons.  Finally,  the work was clean and met our expectations.

Excellent work overall! He even did some extra minor work that was not contracted for at no charge. I would definitely recommend Lou to a friend or relative or anyone.

Made appointment with Lou and he came out on time. He gave me an appropriate estimate for the work I required. He did tell me that he was booked until September but said he may be able to squeeze me in on a weekend. I told him that was fine, I just wanted to get it done. He texted me two weeks later and said he would come out on the following Friday. He showed up, did the work, (without taking a break during 90+ degree day) and fixed everything that I asked him to. Porch looks infinitely better and I feel relieved not to have to worry about anyone falling through now. Talked to him about future project I would like to have him work on (after September) and he said that he would. Thanks Lou! Looking forward to working with you in the near future!

We received an immediate response from the owner/operator of LW3; he came an evaluated the work projects and set a schedule with us for completion of each project.  Since we needed to space things out over a period of months, we were delighted that he was willing to work our needs into his schedule.  Everything was handled professionally, and yet with a personal touch.  Pricing was fair and honest; his work and work ethic were superb.  I almost hate to write this review because if people knew what a gem LW3 is, the company might become too busy to work for us again.  We would hire LW3 Carpentry in a heartbeat.

This guy is WONDERFUL!  When he gave us the estimate, we had no idea he would run into the issues which added time to the job. While starting the job, he found the bottom of the overhand had rotted out and then found a hole in the drain pipe leading into the kitchen sink. Much to his and our surprise he found an old bees nest the size of a football. Thank goodness they  were gone. He had to go out and get additional supplies, twice, because when he replaced the drain pipe, he found the copper piping under the sink had a bad leak, again a hole in aged piping. The house is 60 years old, so finding things like this are expected. To my dismay, we had a new faucet and sink installed a few months ago and the plumber never found these things.  I cannot say enough good things about this man and his worth ethic. A job that was slated to take about four hours turned into six hours. He charged us his original estimate plus the cost of supplies. Many other companies would have charged additional time. Truly a man of ethics and his word. This is the second time we used this company. His work is above reproach.

I contacted Lou via Angie's List on a Wednesday, he came out Friday to give us an estimate, and the work was complete the follow Wednesday - one week total. He was very knowledgeable in his work, and was able to fix our porch that was leaking water into our basement when it rained. He installed additional joists, corrected the pitch to be away from the house, and installed new Koma flooring. We are very happy with our end product and would recommend Lou for anyone that needs work done.

"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.
