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. I keep the job site clean and safe, covering finished surfaces in my work area. I am punctual and reliable.

John modified a built-in wooden cabinet to accommodate a new refrigerator. Excellent work in what was a difficult project.

We hired John to install new windowsills, window casings and jamb extensions for two windows. This is clearly his area of expertise and his work shows it. He was very careful to cover the work area and to clean up at the end of the job. He is very detailed oriented and this is reflected in the care that he took to make sure that the installation was perfect. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for this type of work.

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!

Hello, John was recently hired to install custom baseboards to our Tustin Ranch home. First off let me say, John was kind, courteous, and very professional. He showed up on time, respected our home and completed the task on schedule. John’s work exceeded our expectations. I wish there were more people like John, we look forward to hiring him for more projects in the near future. Sincerely, Jim
