About
OLD SCHOOL BERKELEY-OAKLAND-SF CUSTOM CARPENTRY / RESTORATION - I am a retired licensed general contractor. Worked for many years all over bay area. Located in East Bay (Albany). I am a one man operation, sometimes I will include a helper. I have done Board and batten, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, false beams, and shiplap walls and ceilings, crown molding and miles of baseboard flooring door and window casing. Understand traditional architextural types. Price really depends on conditions and details. My painting makes my work look ok. A pro painter makes my work look wonderful ! I will come take a look and give a price if the job is not too far away. Otherwise, phone and pictures help to price a project. Because I am a one-man operation, my prices are competitive, low even. But I am retired, and prefer smaller jobs. I am not as fast as I used to be. I don't go up too high or lift too much. That's why I am available for trim work. More intricate and not so heavy. I keep the job site clean and safe, covering finished surfaces in my work area. I am punctual and reliable.

John was a wonderful carpenter to hire for a shelf project I put off for ages! He provided a bid over email then came and surveyed the project and within a week, the shelves were up and his bid was highly competitive. Thanks John!

Details: No, I will need the carpenter to provide the molding or trim • As recommended by carpenter • 0 - 40 ft • I do not need it painted or stained

I can not say enough good things about John and his work. He’s meticulous, friendly, and trustworthy. He’s attention to detail really makes him stand out from the rest of the contractors I have used. He completed all the unfinished carpentry work and more we had left from our current remodel. I would recommend John to anyone with confidence. My father use to be a general contractor, and after seeing johns work, he wants John to come over to his house and help with some of his own unfinished projects. Thank you again John!

John did an excellent job with all of the finished carpentry work at our new home that he completed in connection with our remodel. From shiplap to wainscoating to window casing to crown molding to door casing - he does it all and well. What set John apart from most craftsman was his punctuality, communication and organization. John was always on time with a great attitude. We loved working with him and would welcome the opportunity to do so again. Thanks for the great work! You added the character to make our house a home!
