First Choice Carpentry

About us

We give professional consultation, providing cost-effective and time-efficient plans for current and potential customers. For ex: Sometimes the customer is unsure of exactly what modifications or improvements are needed, and what can actually be accomplished in their given situation. Very often, they will forgo desired ideas because they think it cannot work in their given area. Other times they think their idea will not fit their budget. I always attempt to learn the customer's needs and desires for every project, before any ideas are discounted. Most of the time, I've been able to find a way to accomplish their desired plans within the given budget. I exhaust resources as necessary searching for solutions and sometimes alternative ways to meet the needs and desires of each project. I strictly adhere to the golden rule in conducting my personal and business affairs, and believe in doing what is right, not just what is good enough.

Bob did a beautiful job in our bedroom remodel. Most of all Bob is a good Christian man. Very kind compassionate person. He prayed for me and my wifeâ s family. He and I had many great conversations He really earnestly believes in doing a quality job. He told us he would take care of us and he did! He is a coffee lover like me and even gifted me with a French press and a coffee grinder! I consider him a friend. I feel blessed to have had him be in my home.

Excellent work on kitchen remodel in our old house (in which NOTHINGi is level or square). Handled entire project, kept us informed, very detailed oriented. Excellent carpentry, for example, when the crown molding provided by cabinet company did not work, Mr. Wiseman built out a three tier molding to make the molding work. Walk into our kitchen, it’s beautiful.

Bob was great to work with. What started as a kitchen floor installation quickly became a complete remodel with Bob installing the floor as well as overseeing the entire project. He was flexible with our ever changing plans and arrived every day with a cheery attitude and quickly got to work. We also had multiple drywall /plaster repairs and crown molding. His attention to detail is spot on.

As good as or better than promised. A catchy phrase that heads all the detailed legal contracts that Bob Weisman writes. But as you get to know the man....It is more than a phrase....It is a promise. If I had to summarize 3 adjectives to describe Bob work I would start with the word PRIDE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foremost, Bob wants his customer to be happy. He writes up every detail of what needs to be done on a certain job and wants input from the customer that their expectations are totally met. There are no short cuts or need to be in a hurry. He wants it done correct the FIRST time! Bob is a true craftsman who takes great pride in his work. He is a perfectionist. We often see so little perfectionism in today society. It is his central core. When he is done with a projects you know it has been done right! Even if there is a minor detail that may bother a customer in the end he will correct it immediately to make sure that all his customers are 100% satisfied. He will NOT settle for 99 percent satisfied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPERIENCED. Bob has decades of doing home repairs and is up-to-date on all the latest trends. He is well-connected to multiple suppliers who I have seen first hand are quite friendly towards him and he is able to obtain materials that are needed quickly. If something specific is needed (especially in older homes like mine) that needs to be updated he will bring it to the customers attention. After he remodeled my kitchen and made several improvements that were needed, I have come to realize how much his work has increased the value of my home. I was looking for repairs and improvements and in the end I got all that plus an investment that improved my resell value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lastly TRUST. As with any new partnership, you place your trust in that person that he means what he says and says what he means. In the beginning, like any good homeowner, I watched over everything that he and his men did. It did not take long to convince this old retired military Officer that this is a good man. His word is his bond and his work is a reflection of that word. The single biggest compliment I can give Bob Weisman is that without hesitation I will hire him back for any future projects without any reservation. My next door neighbor is so impressed with my kitchen remodel/improvements this year that they too want to hire him for a porch project they have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As good as or better than promised Not just words on paper but a commitment to his customers! Thank you.

Bob did a wonderful, quality job on my kitchen. He refaced all of my cabinets (built custom cabinetry for my microwave/garbage), installed under cabinet lighting, brick backsplash (that extended out to a full brick wall which he also did), replaced dated lighting with recessed lighting, installed new appliances and oversaw the installation of new countertops. The job took longer than I anticipated (approximately 5 mos.), but I would rather have quality than a rushed job that was not what I wanted. I found Bob to be communicative, trustworthy and easy to work with.

About 5 1/2 years ago, due to extreme heat and dry weather, we had problems in opening, closing and locking our backdoor. We contacted Bob Weisman and once he looked at the door, he was able to provide us with a quick fix of the frame, which corrected the problem and spared us costly repair charges and door replacement. It was refreshing to find someone as honest as Bob. Since then, he built a crawlspace door which turned out great and now, I am looking forward to discussing another project with him. I highly recommend Bob!!!! Robert K

We found First Choice Carpentry on Home Advisor and we are so pleased that we did. The owner, Bob, and his assistant Bob, were great in every way. Our master bathroom remodel required demolition (including walls), electrical, plumbing, installing a new shower and vanity as well as light fixture, and cabinets, and flooring. Due to extensive water damage, we turned out to need our other bathroom repaired as well. The only outsourced job was the electrical. Between the two Bobs, they can do most anything. They were very conscientious, precise and always upfront about everything. We are very happy with their excellent quality work!

We hired Bob to remodel our bathroom after a friend recommended him. He did an excellent job. He completely gutted our bathroom and moved piping to change the entire layout of our master bathroom. He built us a large luxurious shower with travertine including a seat and 2 niches. He listened to our ideas about a knee wall and was able to produce a perfect resemblance of our idwas. He built a beautiful crown mold that was the perfect additional touch to the room. He installed a new dual sink vanity and hung faux stone behind the vanity and toilet. His helper bob#2 chose the layout of the tile pattern which is amazing! We felt completely comfortable with them in our home with no reservation. We have received many compliments, He has an attention for detail,keeps you informed, and respects your house. We plan to rehire him for our 2nd bathroom.

This is the 2nd project Bob has remodeled for us. He did such a good job with the first we automatically wanted him to remodel our hall bathroom as well. We used travertine stone for our shower enclosure along with the floor. Bob tore down and rehung sheetrock and installed a new bathtub, toilet, and shower fixtures. Bob and his helper Bob who we call #2 work well together to perform a great job. 2 has a great eye for color combinations and placement. Bob will listen to any questions or concerns and work with you to obtain the best possible results.

Because this remodel required plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, etc. we wanted a contractor to take charge of all the work. Bob provided a detailed work schedule, with the final version hammered out by discussions. When we added work to that schedule, he was careful to let us know that would be extra (we used the opportunity to have some nagging projects done while they were here). Also, materials not needed were credited to our account. We were particularly concerned about the old counter-tops being removed very carefully so as not to damage the cabinetry, and that went very well, as did the interface with the counter-top installers. Also, a fairly large mirror was able to be saved and reused rather than being ripped out, and that was a savings to us. The two Bobs were very diligent at all times, looking out for our possessions and what was not being worked on. Overall a very superior job, and we plan to use this company for several more projects coming down the way.

He had an excuse for everything. Couldn't come to work because it snowed. He wanted to vent our bathroom into the attic instead of outside. I seemed to know more about codes and good construction practices than he did. To be fair the end product was satisfactory but not without my intervention in his original plans.
Response from First Choice Carpentry
"July 6th 2016 My initial appointment with the Home Owner was on October 18th 2013. He called back to request my service. We contracted on November 2nd 2013 & scheduled to commence the work on or about January 6th 2014. All work was completed on February 19th 2014. All material & labor was paid in full. The Home Owner posted his review more than 2 ½ years later. Please see all reviews below. Thank you Bob Weisman First Choice Carpentry"

I highly recommend First Choice Carpentry. Bob came out to give me a quote right away, and was able to complete the project very quickly. He made sure I knew up front what possible complications could be, so that I would not be surprised with a bill higher than he quoted. His work was to the highest standards. I had 3 small projects which he finished in one day. I was very pleased and will use him again!

After seeing the quality of their work, and finally listening to what my wife had been telling me for longer than I care to admit, I asked the Bobs to finish two small projects I'd started and then run into "issues" with: A bathroom exhaust fan replacement and a recessed closet light upgrade. The work was completed in short order, and needless to say, I am very pleased with the results. I am also majorly relieved to have two not-so-simple DIY projects finished. Again - *Highly* recommend.

The work was excellent. Bob and Bob were on time, and worked hard. Bob made me aware of hidden problems with the joists but didn't press me to OK the additional work. I asked him for a quote, which he had in just a few minutes. I gave him the green light, and the job was completed same day. Very pleased with this contractor. Highly recommend.

Hired Bob to redo all three bathrooms in my house. Two were just updates and one was a complete remodel. We were very pleased with the work and professionalism of Bob and his helper Bob "Too". The tile shower in the complete remodel is beautiful and all who see it are impressed. He took the time necessary to do the job the way it should be done and stands behind his work. I have no trouble in recommending Bob for any remodeling job without any reservations.

This was the second time we hired Bob for a project and he is great. We like dealing him because he takes the time to do the job right. He built a deck onto our existing sunroom and it looks real good. The deck is well built, should outlast us! Bobs one of the good guys when it comes to being honest, dependable, reputable. We recommend him for any job or project you may have. Lewis R. in Rockford, Tn.
