Introduction: I am a retired dairy farmer. When I was a farmer, I was kind of a jack-of-all-trades and could do a lot of different things such as carpentry, painting, minor plumbing and electrical work. I also took care of most of my equipment maintenance work. I am also a bit of a perfectionist and do not rest until a job is done to the best of my abilities.

Walter has done a few jobs around my house. He helped me put up a portable garage, change out a faucet in my bathroom, and he changed out 3 different light fixtures for me. He was very knowledgable in what he was doing. He went out of his way to make sure that the work was done right and was going to hold up over time.

Walter installed a wood laminate floor in my dining room and did a beautiful job. His craftsmanship was excellent. He was quick, efficient and tidy. Previously Walter had installed a much needed closet in a previous home I owned. Once again his work was admirable. I would recommend him for any carpentry task you may have.

Not a good experience at all. (as was the other "furniture assembler) Walt pulled his 4x4 onto our newly seeded front lawn and left deep tracks as he left. He apparently locked his keys in the truck, so had no tools. (?). My husband showed Walt where our tools were. The first piece he worked on split and since I had asked him to start on another project first, he then started it. He split that one, too. I asked him where was all this experience he said he had and he replied, "I've helped a couple of friends..." It was now 2 pm and he said he was gonna have to stay here until 6 or maybe 8 o'clock until he could get someone to bring his keys. I asked him to leave and call a cab. That about covers Walt.
