"We had two great guys from West Shore, Weston and Dylan, come to install a new front door in April 2025. First of all, they were great to work with—pleasant, professional, friendly—just great to work with. They made sure my husband and I both knew what to expect as they worked on the door and encouraged us to ask questions as need be. They also worked well together and did amazing work on our project. It was very sturdy, worked well and looked incredible. Weston and Dylan were so supportive of the bold color choice we made, yellow, and said they thought it looked really good. They meant it too. They were great as neighbors came by to see the new door too! Everyone really liked it! Good PR for the company. All in all we couldn’t ask for two more capable, professional, and friendly guys to spend the morning with! Thanks so much Weston and Dylan! We love our new beautiful, windowed door from West Shore!! We will highly recommend you. "

"Frankly, five out of five stars isn't a high enough rating for the work Christopher did in building our house. If we could give him 10 stars, we would! He exceeded our expectations at every step of the planning and building process. He listened carefully in the design phase and worked hard to give us what we wanted. He was always responsive in communication, collaborative in his approach to the work, transparent about costs, and good with sub-contractors. He efficiently managed the inevitable unexpected challenges of a new build and worked with us to find good solutions. Christopher built an amazing and beautiful house for us, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend! "
