Hired on Thumbtack
I discovered Nick through Thumbtack a few months ago. His team repaired my front porch that was half completed from a job last year. Nick made some important suggestions on improving the structure. They did a great job, strengthening beams, improving the appearance of old fascia boards, and painting. Transformed a slightly dangerous eyesore into a sturdy, beautiful front porch roof. I've scheduled Nick for more work. His team is a pleasure to work with.

Nick and his team were great from the start! I couldn’t recommend working with him more. He was very communicative, kind and understanding. Not to mention he did great work installing two gorgeous new gates! Can’t wait to hire him again for our next project

Dusty Trails Carpentry was an excellent choice to repair the cabinet doors in my kitchen. They came prepared, had special insight on the problem, and got it done satisfactorily. I couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommended.

Nick of Dusty Roads Carpentry turned out to be a perfectly collaborative and creative partner to team up with as we faced two vexing fence projects. The first project involved a sagging and leaning fence that was seriously out of alignment on our southern property line. Nick gave us a very reasonable estimate for the project. The fix involved replacing the underlaying fence frame with redwood and preserving the feel of the existing fence by reusing the original pickets. His sagging fence fix involved some very creative solutions. He worked very quickly and saved us a lot of money by salvaging the original materials. His work and the work of his crew was inspired and very respectful both of our property and our neighbor's property.
The second project sprang up to surprise us a day after the first project ended. Our property experienced high winds that literally blew half of the fence on our rear property line into our rear neighbors yard. Here again Nick was able to come up with some very creative solutions. One solution involved replacing and rebuilding the base of one of the cement block stabilizing columns that had been perched above a retaining wall. He ended up bridging the cement column area and inserting some wooden fence posts as an alternative. Again we were able to salvage and reuse the original white picket fence elements. All this in 110 degree heat.
I can highly recommend Nick and his team. I grew to respect and trust his approach and creative solutions to problems. Thumbtack is lucky to be able to tap into his talents and use him as one of their pros.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer a price match when the client sends us the competitors quote and information.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an undergraduate degree in art history and mixed media. I also have a masters degree in sculpture. Coupled with 15 years of experience.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Before I started dusty trails carpentry I worked in art gallery’s and museums on the east and west coast as a fabricator, art installer and logistics manager. When the pandemic closed everything down I lost my job, like many of us.
I had a bunch of tools and knowledge and began renovating my home. A neighbor asked if I would build him a fence. And the business took off from there.
