I cannot tell you how happy we are with the work Kevin did. He upgraded the trim and molding for us. He was communicative, pleasant to work with, and helpful to make sure we had the right materials. If we have another carpentry job, we will definitely contact him.

Kevin came to discuss my project but declined due to his current project workload. I needed the bed unit done by a specific date.

Kevin was a breeze to work with! He was quick to respond to my request and provided a very reasonable quote. He communicated clearly on scheduling and showed up exactly when he said he would. The work was done to perfection. Very professional looking. Job well done, Kevin!

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started working summers in high school for a local carpenter, after high school I went to work for a larger company that built houses and housed all their own tradesmen, where I received a wide range of experience from carpentry to plumbing, drywall, tile, painting, roofing etc.
