James was on time and put my very heavy, complicated grill together. He also left his work area impeccable. Even though it wasn't part of the deal he hauled away all of the packaging. I will definitely use him again. Thank you James.

Assembly of permanent canopy came out beautiful. Ideal Carpentey LLC did a great job. Very efficient and thorough. Canopy had a lot of pieces so much so screws, bolts, nuts, etc. came in a tackle style box. Worked in the heat today and still did a great job. Cleaned up after canopy was put together and took boxes/packaging with them. Would use them again. Giving them a great review

James' quality of finish work is first class. Our bathroom remodel had a complicated tile design and it was flawless. He spent a lot of time on it. Our bathroom was selected as bathroom of the week on Houzz.

James was fantastic to work with and really brought my vision to life! The kitchen before was outdated, had terrible water pressure, was improperly vented, and to be honest, gross. It was the one thing I hated about the house. The kitchen after is a thing of beauty. He demo'd the cabinets, fixed the plumbing and venting for the range hood, rerouted electrical, and installed the new cabinets- by himself and within a week! I get so many compliments on my kitchen now, my friends and family can't believe the transformation from the before photos.

James is my new hero!! He quickly, quietly and efficiently worked through my “work list” for repairs, painting and some updates at my house. The garage disposal was not working and he cleared debris that was causing the issue; fixed a bathroom faucet, and painted the area above my kitchen cabinets among other things. James was respectful of the areas where was working and cleaned up when finished. For me, I feel a huge sense of relief getting all these pesky things done! Definitely will call James again if/when I have a need. Thank you. Faith H.

I have worked with/hired James for multiple remodels at two different homes. He does great work and is very trustworthy. I would give my key to 2 people while remodeling and he is one of them, never need to worry about ethics. We would hire him in a second but I’ve run out of projects. . For now.

My husband discovered black mold and water damage in a shared wall with the bathroom a couple months before we were going to have a baby. We ended up having to tear down the wall and gut the bathroom. James came in after the demo and repaired the structural integrity of the wall, completely redid the bathroom (including tiled the shower and floor), expanded the bathroom, did drywall, installed new baseboards, built and framed a new closet, and replaced two windows. He was very timely and worked with us on the things we wanted to do ourselves. Our house is old and he ran into some funky things, but refused to take shortcuts. He even bought us a baby gift after his last bit of work! We would definitely hire him again and refer him.
