Forest did an excellent job at installing a new door for our kitchen area. The project was complex and required the installation of new drywall to add a door where one did not exist previously. Forest is an expert carpenter and did a fantastic job. He was also subsequently hired to stain our deck and did a great job with that as well. Highly recommend.

Details: Door • Replacement of portions of existing structure • Residential

I recently hired Forrest to install trim throughout my condo, including door and window casings, baseboards, base shoe, and even build a custom window box. Additionally, he installed a beautiful custom tongue-and-groove facing for my fireplace, which had an existing mantle that required a creative solution to finish and work around. The finished product exceeded my expectations in every way. Forrest is a true craftsman, with impeccable attention to detail in every corner, joint, and edge. Not only did he expertly fit the baseboards and casings, but he also painted all of the trim with a flawless enamel finish, which elevated the entire look. He also painted all of the exposed beams and ductwork, making the space feel cohesive and refreshed. The tongue-and-groove fireplace facing added a sophisticated, timeless look to the living room, and the custom window box further showcased his skill and creativity. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work, and the results speak for themselves. One of the standout aspects of working with Forrest was his excellent communication throughout the project. From the start, he made sure to understand my vision and offer suggestions where needed. He kept me informed every step of the way, sending regular photos and videos to provide updates on his progress. This level of transparency made the entire process stress-free, and I felt confident that everything was being handled to the highest standard. He was responsive to my questions and made sure I was happy with every decision, big or small. Beyond the quality of his craftsmanship, what truly sets Forrest apart is his professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept the work area clean and organized. His willingness to go above and beyond—whether it was offering additional design ideas or adjusting details based on my feedback—made the experience truly exceptional. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of trim installation or carpentry work; it’s rare to find someone with such skill, communication, and attention to detail.

Details: Baseboards • Casing • Yes, I will provide the molding or trim • Solid wood • Engineered wood • I do not need it painted or stained

Kelly did amazing job. He painted the ceramic tiles in our bathroom and hooked up a vanity medicine cabinet with led lighting. Job was done in perfection and timely manner. Helped us hook up vanity wall which did not have any wooden studs ( we had steel studs ).
