Douglass Carpentry & Construction LLC

I contacted them 2 months ago and they still have not reached out to me about the estimate. I called and left a voicemail. They came out and looked at the work and I still have not have heard from them since. This was disappointing because I liked the work from them previously.

Douglass Carpentry & Construction was terrific. Everything went smoothly, and we are very pleased with the results. Their estimate was detailed and accurate to what we asked for, and we made some small changes to it before work began, which they were helpful with. They estimated that the work would take about 3 weeks, and they started the project on time and ended it on time. Wow! Everyone was very considerate and friendly. I highly recommend them.

extremely pleased with the results from all aspects of work!

He took detailed measurements and notes, but when I had not received his bid after a few weeks, he told me that they were too busy to complete the bid. It took me several emails to find out he wasn't going to complete the bid.

They were good. I was very impressed.

They are expert and easy to work with. The job went as stipulated and his crew was courteous, easy to work with and did excellent work.

I have used Douglas construction multiple times and I have never been disappointed. I think they go above an beyond.

Douglas Carpentry came out very quickly and took care of the job. We chose this company because this was the ONE contractor that climbed up in the crawl space to check if the wall was load bearing or not. Upon finding it wasn't, our options grew and the job went forward. We took out the wall, leveled the floor, moved a light switch and outlets and had it textured to match the existing wall. We felt that this company was easy to work with, professional and did great work. We also have recommended them to others.

After leaving a voice mail, I received a call a day or so later and scheduled a walk through for an estimate the next week. He showed up on time and took detailed notes for work to be done. An estimate was received about a week later. We went with another contractor that had a more competitive bid.

"A pipe in the roof of my very full, finished, 2 car garage, froze and broke, spewing a cascade of water for hours onto all of its contents. I came home at night, it was dark and icy outside, and everything was a disaster, . Someone told me about Damon: "He'll take good care of you..." Damon did. He came out the very next morning, assessed and wrote everything up, and got right to work with the crew sent out by the insurance company and then sent out his subs. There were people in and out over several days/weeks until the work was finished. He was there and coordinated everything from getting rid of wet, destroyed items, to moving everything still salvageable to a storage place, doing the ceiling repairs, electric work, plumbing, dry wall, painting, getting things moved back in. It was quite a project, done when he said it would be done, despite the fact that it was Xmas and New Year's in the middle of it, and lots of nasty, icy weather. Damon was an excellent communicator, anticipated what decisions needed to be made, gave constructive ideas on how to handle certain things, and was very helpful in every way. The subs came through like clockwork, did an excellent job, cleaned up after their work, and in the end, presented me with a beautifully remodeled garage with everything neatly moved back in. When something likethis happens to you, it's devastating. Damon, in his very thorough, can-do approach, minimized the pain I was feeling, and I truly felt "taken care of."

This company did an excellent job. Damon was always prompt in getting back with my requests even when I had some changes he got back with me right away and got them figured out promptly. They did excellent craftsmanship on a bamboo mantel we had them make and install. We also had them put in a new stairwell railing and baulisters that turned out beautiful. We really apprecitated all their design input regarding our stairwell and mantel. The crews he had out for the projects were always on time and very courteous, careful and clean while doing their projects. We also had Damon install 2 skylights in our kitchen. These turned out great also. This entailed moving some cannister lights and skimming and re texturing our entire dropped ceiling. The work is superb, I can't even tell that is was redone it matches the other ceiling perfectly and I appreciated the detail and willingness in moving the cannister lights to rebalance out the lights around the skylights. Damon perfomed our project in a timely manner and the project was completed in the projected time frame and with complete satisfaction. We would use Douglass Carpentry again and plan on calling them for future projects.

They provided a clear and concise estimate, communicated well about the work's progress, and they did a great job overall.

The final result exceeded our hopes! A dusty, dirty attic storage space has been expertly transformed into a light, airy garret reading room!The project took much longer than anticipated, but that was due to the complexity of the finish work. I was in no hurry.Damon and Aidan are skilled professionals who know their stuff. Their sense of humor is wonderful, which made welcoming them to our home each day a pleasure!We have another project on a rental home and will be calling on them again.

Douglass carpentry and construction came in with a blank slate. Worked with us on our budget. Which was awesome. Gave us great ideas and did all all of this in a appropriate, timely, and professional manner. Actually went with me to pick out tiles that I had questions about. Everyone loves my master bathroom!! We are going to use them for other things in our house. replacing our windows and our front door. I highly recommend them!

There were two different guys for the work (1) drywall and texturing - day 1 (2) painting - day 2. Both were on time and took great care to ensure everything around the repairs including walk areas were well covered and protected. They both did a thorough clean up afterwards. I provided the painter with the paint information and he was able to obtain an exact match. The work was done so well that even in various lighting (artificial or natural) unless you know exactly where the repairs were made, you can not tell it was done. Was very impressed.

Everything went pretty good. I felt more than comfortable with not being there during the day. Damon would come with some better ideas. When you called or emailed he got back with you quickly. I e mailed him one morning to ask him if could smell gas coming from furnace in the bathroom. The furnace is in closed in a closet. He and his workers said yes and by the time I got home there was a furnace looking at it Damon was not far by him when I got home. Sure enough there was gas leak in on of the fitting. The furnace guy stayed and fixed it. This was on a Friday night about five o clock and I think by the time they left it was close to seven. The furnace could not get to the pipe that need to fixed so Damon had cut hole in the wall. I think it cost more for the wall to be repaired than the furnace. So that wall is now called Damon's wall. I am so glad that I said somthing and he was so fast on getting someone out there and even with hole. Only thing I would do different is not have remodeling done right before the holiday's. I am saving up money to get my kitchen and up stairs flooring and bathroom done by him.

Damon came over and spent quite a bit of time walking through the house and not only looking at the plans I had already but also making some very good suggestions on how to do things differently and in a more cost-effective way. He also works with the city's FIR permit program which would have streamlined the permit process. I provided him with drawings and a list of the scope of work, and he returned a free estimate within a week or two. The estimate Damon provided was very detailed and easy to understand. He was willing to work with us to reduce costs where possible and had suggestions for phasing the work. The estimate was fair and actually a bit lower compared to one we got from another contractor. Due to the costs involved however, we ultimately have decided not to proceed with the project at this time - but if we do future work on the house we will certainly give Damon a call.

The post and beam upgrade, insulation of the crawl space, and the new vapor barrier went very smoothly, in my view. The site was left clean and weather-tight. It was one of those things where a lot of good work was done, but there is no visible improvement from outside the crawl space...I just know it is all done and better for the home. The rewiring went smoothly overall and resulted in a more usable work space out in the garage. I put up the outside lights myself, which was a piece of cake, and we enjoy the ability to see out back after dark. Damon employed a company called Air America for the installation of the ductless heat pump system, and they did a good quick job, leaving the house clean and warm. We are very pleased with the way this all turned out, and are mulling over other projects to ask Damon about in due time.

Starting with the kitchen they gutted the room and put it back together in under 6 weeks, just as Damon Douglass had promised. Prior to starting our kitchen remodel we were advised by other people that contractors are always late with their schedules and go over budget. Not true: Douglass Carpentry followed their timetable and budget and it is beautiful. During the remodel they were also installing gas lines into our home, installing the tankless water heater, replacing the water pipes in the basement. Our home was built in 1927 and as such had some "quirks", but the Douglass team worked through them all. They installed hardwood floors in the new kitchen and removed the wall to wall in the rest of the house and patched some areas and all flooring was then refinished. The bathroom was also gutted with a step in shower replacing the bathtub. This bathroom is extremely small, but Damon Douglass worked around the difficulties and we ended up with a really nice bathroom. We had a small but sneaky leak in our roof over the enclosed front porch and many repair attempts had been made but none successfully. Damon figured out where it was coming in from and fixed it - he also found another problem area and this too was fixed. We love our new front door and the handrail for our interior stairs is lovely. All of the work was exceptional. There were a few problems, but they were promptly fixed. The Douglass Carpentry team and all of their subcontractors were very professional, efficient and nice. They arrived promptly and cleaned up every evening. Remodeling a kitchen is very stressful, but they made it as easy as they could and finished on time. We are absolutely delighted with all of the work and would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in quality work at an affordable price.

When i contacted them for an estimate they responded within 48 hours, willing to accommodate my work schedule and come to my house before i left for work early in the morning. explained all the options and the benefits and downside of each option. my goal was a simple, functional job and they did exactly that. at the end of the work day--which started on the day they promised when i came home i could barely tell they had been there, except the work was being done. there was a problem with the shower door and fitting it to non aligned walls which was not included in the origian estimate they were willing to absorb that expense to complete the job.

I would totally recommend this company and will call them again when we need work done on our house. After contacting multiple contractors Damon is the only one that didn't say I don't know, or we can't do that. He listened and worked with us the whole time to get things done the way we wanted. Even after the planning stage took a little longer then expected he still was open and willing to change things. Even after the work was completed Damon was willing to come over and look at our heater that was acting up. Damon was quick to answer emails, texts and phone calls. I hardly ever had to leave a message when I called which was a big deal to me. I only graded down on the price because the quote was originally for 30,000 and the end job was for 40,000 though some of the price inflation was because of the flooring we selected. It wasn't that big of deal to us.

Pipes in my finished 2 car garage froze just before Xmas and broke while I was at work, big flood occurred and water damage was everywhere. Garage was packed full of personal items, books, boxes, sporting equipment, etc. Damon took care of everything, hauled away damaged items, packed up and placed rest of items in storage, got the damage repaired and returned my garage to pristine condition with everything back in it. I heard about Damon from an electrician doing some work for me. "He'll take good care of you, just call him." I contacted him, he came out the very next day, I called several of his references and all had glowing reports. He started right away. From the beginning to the end, it was an excellent experience working with Damon. He was always available to contact with any questions and easy to work with. He clearly knew what he was doing, his subs were efficient and on time, the quality of his work and the subs was superb, and the job came off without a hitch. He had several suggestions to make along the way which were very helpful, and followed up on any suggestions I had. I can't tell you how grateful I was to him and his crew, especially with the holidays, icy weather and having to cope with the emotional toil of ruined personal items.

We like the new bathroom, but Damon made mistakes during the project. We found Damon Douglass Carpentry and Construction through our realtor. We hired him for our bathroom remodel mainly because his bid was the cheapest. We worked with him to design the new bathroom (which required moving a wall to create more space) and select materials. I was not pleased with several aspects of the project, such as: * The floor slopes significantly and he never told us he found the slope until his crew tiled over the floor and it couldn't be repaired. * There are cracks in the grout all around the tub and along the floor corners. * The new pipe behind the sink creaks and moans when we run hot water through it. * The new tub faucet fixture leaks. We had Damon back several times after the project was completed to fix these odds and ends, but he was not very responsive. He was able to repair some of the smaller items, but the overall quality of the job is not great. While I was glad we were able to stick to our budget, I wouldn't recommend this company.

He was very nice, professional, and on time. He took a lot of measurements and gave some very detailed estimates. If we do go with them for the built-in unit, he said he would supply detailed plans on what the unit would look like. I would like to get two more estimates before I choose, but I am considering this company.

I had a rotten wooden supporting beam under my house (a cliff hanger built on stilts). I had received bids from other contractors ranging from $3k to $15k. Some of the contractors came out with scare stories about this type of repair, talking about house movers and engineers. Damon came out and said he had done this type of repair before and it wasn’t difficult. He outlined the steps required to repair the beam and gave me a reasonable bid. I selected Douglass Construction because they seemed to be the most competent and knowledgeable on this type of repair. They lifted the end of the house just enough to get the weight off the beam to replace it. They also installed flashing to prevent the problem from occurring again. The job was completed in 3 days. I am very pleased with the outcome.
