Work performed on schedule, and well done. Scott Anderson was careful to check with me as to my wishes concerning some details. Cost was reasonable.

Everything went great. We couldn't be happier with the quality of his work, his craftsmanship, and his work ethic/professionalism. He accommodated everything we wanted and finally, he's just a really nice guy - nice to have around.
Description of Work: We purchased a 10-year old house that needed a lot of work. In addition to general "handy man" projects, Mr. Anderson custom built some truly beautiful built-in bookshelves for our "reading room." They look like they came with the house, except the craftsmanship is so much better.

I am utterly thrilled by the work performed. Scott was professional, punctual, and informative. He fixed what my previous contractor could not and repaired some of the damage the previous contractor inflicted. The craftsmanship was impeccable. I had other contractors look at needed repairs and immediately declared the solution to be replacement of damaged items. Scott had other creative ideas that were weighed for cost and effectiveness against straight replacement. This level of service only comes with many years of dedication to one's craft and customer satisfaction.

I'm very happy with what he has done and plan to use him again. Ultimately, he installed 2 doors to give good access to the A/C unit for servicing.
Description of Work: We had a tricky situation. Our 20+ A/C unit needed to be replaced but the area they put it when they built the house does not allow for access to remove it. It had to be removed and installed from the attic which is apparently not code anymore. He worked very well with my a/c company to get them access to do the work they needed to do and then he came back and finished his work. I'm very happy with what he has done and plan to use him again. Ultimately, he installed 2 doors to give good access to the A/C unit for servicing.

We have used Mr. Anderson for carpentry and general handyman work on several occasions. Scott is very knowledgeable about carpentry and many other aspects of home repair and maintenance. Scott has helped us with tasks as varied as repairing drawers, replacing doors and porch posts, roof repair and even helped me to build a tree house for my kids. His work is top notch and is completed quickly and at reasonable cost. Upon completion of the work, the job sites were left in a neat and clean manner. Scott is nice guy and pleasant to work with. We recommend him without any reservations and definitely I hope to work with him again on future projects.

This was the perfect choice for this work. He is 1. knowledgeable, 2. punctual, 3. creative, 4. conscientious treating my money like his own.. This house was built over 100 years ago and with the repairs done this house should be capable of being lived in for another 100 years.
Description of Work: Repair rotted wood on a 2nd story window assembly incorporating double hung sash windows sill and supporting 2x6, on the soffit underneath an entry porch, on the bases of some columns on another porch. Repair a hole on the top of another 2nd story window that allowed entry of squirrels, etc.

Scott quoted the length of work to be two days and a favorable price for his work. The first day he worked in the laundry room; he sealed the working area to avoid dust to travel to the kitchen; afterwards, he removed a box/casing of some sort that had no added value to the laundry room; this was located in the ceiling and wall junction behind the washer and dryer where the custom-made shelves were to be installed. He worked diligently all day long; twice he stopped his work a) to ensure that his work was meeting my project requirements, b) to ensure that I was satisfied with work/progress, and c) to show me that a request I had specified before project started was not feasible due to space and height of washer; at this point a modification to the original plan was agreed and approved. The next day Scott arrived on time, as he normally does, and started work on the exterior of the house. I cannot emphasize enough the quality of work that Scott delivers! He is punctual, professional, expert on his trade, and precise. Once again he has delivered a most beautiful work! I need to mention that Scott brings with him all the tools required of his trade to complete assigned projects; this impressed me a lot. After he finishes his work, he cleans and organizes. This he does in order to avoid any type of disruption to the homeowners. I am very happy Scott and I crossed paths; I have found in him the person to go, ALWAYS, for any of my carpentry needs at home. I recommend Scott to anyone who is considering a quality and timely project; he is the best at what he does and takes great pride on his work!
Description of Work: I called Scott for additional work at my house: a) laundry room: I requested a shelving system above my washer and dryer as I had no storage space, and b) caulking some gaps in the exterior of house (to be more exact between the wood and brick of house).

Scott was very responsive and receptive to the ideas I had and offered up good suggestions to fill in the design. The work was completed in a short time, working with my schedule and within budget. The shelves are beautiful, just what I wanted to finish out the downstairs den. They really make the room cost and more refined. Thanks Scott!

Fine, until Scott Anderson thought that I was supervising too much. So, he decided to quit before the project was completed which kind of ties in with his category of services: "carpentry-Unfinished". It was a shame, in that I had several other projects I could have used him for.

Scott did an amazing job!!! I was so pleased with the outcome. His work was nothing less than professional and perfect; he event spent the time to match the baseboards to the rounded edges of the corners of the sheetrock. I sent him pictures of trimwork I had found on houzz ahead of time, and he showed up to work with materials and completed the job just like the pictures. He even did an amazing job with my unique tasks and now the spaces look like they belong and match the rest of the house. Additionally, I was at the house while Scott worked for the first couple of days working on other areas of my reno job, and he helped me out on random tasks when I ran into trouble. He was truly a lifesaver when I needed to shave off a bit from my brand new kitchen cabinets so that the dishwasher would fit! I ended up leaving Scott the code to my house so that he could access it on his own while I was out of town for work. I trusted him completely and was never worried about his having access to my house. He kept me abreast of his progress and sent me pictures of his completed work to make sure I was happy. I recommend Scott with the highest possible recommendation. I won't ever use anyone else for this type of work.
Description of Work: I needed all the trim work installed in the house including baseboards, quarter-round, around doors, and around the windows, but I also had some tricky areas as well. I had an odd closet that I had ripped out and a brick fireplace that didn't connect well to the surrounding sheetrock. I basically told Scott, "good luck," and gave him some ideas that I had to fix the areas.

The job went well. Mr. Anderson ended up doing a lot of work around my house that needed to be done.
Description of Work: Mr. Anderson did amazing quality work! I needed the stairs, landing and handrail replaced for my garage apartment over my garage. The original support post were 4x4 post that were rotting. The stairs has become dangerous. Mr. Anderson took time to evaluate WHY and where the rotting was coming from and suggested that we use a treated metal beam in lieu of lumber. He engineered an amazing porch! My handrail was to wide to pass inspect so created a very artful solution to make the handrail look authentic to the house but function as the city codes requires. He went a step beyond doing that. He pointed out that my doors to my garage weren't secure and it would be easy for someone to break into. He told me he had installed some braces in doors that help prevent your door from being able to be kicked in. We have had things taken from our garage so we were so pleased with his proactive approach to home repairs. He did an amazing job with the spindles, installed screen doors, replaced crawl space doors ... the list goes on Mr. Anderson is smart and he is creative. I had him do several task around my home. He would always THINK about a job before his did it. He plans his work ahead of time and is exact, and its right when he is done. Also, he is easy to have around because he has a nice sense of humor and is a nice person. Not to mention that MY DOGS LIKED HIM and he liked my dogs. *I never really trust people if my dogs don't like them. Mr. Anderson was gets two A+ ratings from my house ... one from me and one from the dogs.

Mr. Anderson was professional from the very beginning. He showed up on time, was very thorough with his initial inspection, and after a couple of days (in my case the type of wood paneling being very old required further research for Mr. Anderson to provide quote) provided me with a quote. We communicated via text messaging, which I found extremely convenient. The day of the scheduled work, he showed up on time, all tools on-hand and set to work. His work is meticulous and I cannot express enough how happy I am to have found him. His quality of work is superb, and when the work was completed, he allowed me to look over the work for final inspection to ensure that I was satisified. I would like to mention that due to the age of the original wood paneling, Mr. Anderson was unable to find the exact style needed to install for the hired work; consequently, he worked the regular panels he found and edged each side of the panel to match the rest of the exteriof of the house. One is unable to tell the difference between the old and the new one Mr. Anderson installed (50 years later). In conclusion, I am very happy with his work, which I can say is an art; he takes pride in his work and it shows! I will definitely hire his services for future carpentry needs. The cost of Mr. Anderson's work goes on par with the quality he provides!

It has been fabulous. He is honest and friendly. Totally aboveboard, and wanted the job to come out as we would want. Visited with us at our home, took measurements, made sure he understood what we wanted. Dropped off a sample of wood to find out if it would meet with the look we liked by text (stain colors, etc.). Exceeded our time expectations, and we have requested another estimate for some more work for working shelves within the wet bar area. He worked very quickly, and the shelves are beyond what we had hoped to get. And for a very competitive price.
Description of Work: Built us two large wooden shelves, and a curio shelf (with crown molding at top) in place of the shelves my husband fit into the existing wet bar area.

Being in the furniture business I have hired a lot of carpenters in the past years and none of them have came close to providing the skill that Scott Anderson does. He is hard-working, trustworthy, and honest. He is fair and gives you 110% when he is working. He went above and beyond my expectations and I can't say how thankful I am to have found him. He will do the best work and in a timely manner. There is no need to look further the best carpenter has been declared!!!

Description of Work: Mr Anderson was punctual and professional, not chatty but friendly. He built a platform bed using wood I'd salvaged from an old piano and from leftovers from a deck-project, and he did some finish work that a previous carpenter had left un-done.
