Introduction: 125+ five star reviews! Project photos! Cabinets! Doors! Trim and Molding! Floating shelves! Mantels! Window seats! Good design results from the amount of thought you put into something and when it comes to upgrades to your home experience matters. For more than 30 years I've built, remodeled and repaired homes. I started out in the trades working for old-school home builders. In the days before developers and sub contractors houses were built, one at a time, from the ground up, by a handful of tradesmen. Not a collection of sub contractors. I acquired a vast amount of knowledge and skill over the years that I bring to every job I do. If there's one thing that uniquely qualifies me to work on your home, that's it. Long before the internet and how - to videos, long before the DIY channel with so-called design/ remodeling experts I was building houses. You learn this trade hands-on, by doing. Not by watching. There's no substitute for hands-on experience. There's no such thing as an instant expert. If you want to know what it's like to work with me, read the reviews. Professional, knowledgeable, on time, quality and craftsmanship. Customer friendly.

Joe got back to me very quickly about a bead board ceiling job for my home. We had 2 planning sessions prior to starting the job to help with ordering materials. He began the job promptly at 8 am each morning, worked in a professional manner and had great problem solving skills for a difficult job. He completed phase one (dining room and entryway ceilings) in just over 4 days. We plan to use him again for our large living room ceiling too and he’s very flexible about giving us time to move furniture and prepare for that phase. Thank you Mr. Doak for a lovely job!

Joe was such a pleasure to have at our new house build. We had a very difficult tongue and groove ceiling project and he exceed our expectations. He shows up on time every day. I wish I could say the same for the other trades I'm dealing with. Joe was one of the few bright spots in a challenging build.

Great price without sacrificing quality! Joseph was very easy to work with -- responsible, prompt, clean, receptive to what I requested. He also offered suggestions based on his years of experience. Saved me hundreds of dollars over other estimates, and I ended up with a beautiful custom wall-to-wall bookshelf with several levels and compartments! Have already asked him to do another project for me!

Joseph installed 2 doors for us, a bathroom and a front door. Both were done very well. The front door was a bit tough...he had to cut through some wood and stucco to make the opening tall enough for the standard sized doors sold nowadays. The end result is something we enjoy using and looking at every day now. He was also easy to contact and showed up when he said he would. I would hire him again!

Details: Interior door, like a bedroom or closet door • 1 door • Standard • Mixed materials, like wood with windows • No, but the door frame exists • Yes, I already purchased the door • Install locks or hardware • Install new trim around the door • Home
