About
I am very detailed oriented and do all projects to the customers satisfaction. Close enough is not good enough for my own standards.
The personal satisfaction I receive upon completion of a project regardless of the size. From start to finish, design through completion, I'm smiling.

John put up a ceiling mount for ring straps in my garage, hung a picture, and even changed a pesky lightbulb. Friendly, on-time, and efficient!

John did a great job! He had very thoughtful and creative ideas for how to complete the job, and he did it all very quickly. It was very convenient and he's a pleasure to work with. I will definitely work with him again if I need carpentry work. Highly recommended!

John Walsh did excellent work for us. He was on time, friendly, engaging, made excellent suggestions and performed the task --the assembly of a patio swing--expertly. When a small problem arose (a manufacturer's error), John quickly devised a "Plan B" and made the fix. Very satisfied with John's work, I happily recommend him.

John did a beautiful job. I hadn’t been able to open this door for years because the laundry machines protruded too far, but it turns out switching a door from swinging on the right side to the left side is actually quite difficult and I was having a hard time finding anyone willing to take on the task. I finally tried Thumbtack and John came through. Hallelujah! The first picture is of the blocked door, the second and third pictures are detail of the door successfully installed on the opposite side. The same door and hardware were used.

John was fantastic. He did a thorough assessment of the requested job and gave a very fair price and quick timeline. He did a beautiful job transforming our built in cabinets to reflect our current needs, the stains and finish matched perfectly! He was very kind and talked us through the whole process. I’d definitely recommend John in the future.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Most of the time I work on a time and material basis. I will issue a 'Not To exceed' figure upon request, so the client knows there is a limit. On occasion that figure is exceeded, I usually stand to my quote.
I will flex from some bids depending on the situation. I just had a client that wanted a novelty 'Gnome' door built for her grandchildren to enjoy. If I had charged my set rate the job wouldn't have been done. The enjoyment I received by completing it was something money cant buy.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Keeping the client at ease and informed of what the process will be. Go over details before work starts. Prepare the site and protect existing plants or furniture, assist with pet control if needed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started my career by attending cabinet making classes sponsored buy the Univ. of South Carolina on the GI bill. After moving to the SF Bay area and joining Carpenters Local#22 I took advantage of many training programs and seminars. I was then hired by UCSF and continued my education by attending many door and hardware seminars. In my lead position there I led many saftey and work related talks.
