John was awesome to work with. You never know who you may come across in the world of contractors but we are glad we met John. He listened to our ideas, gave great suggestions, then executed the plan. Even when we pivoted; (which was due to how great our baseboards and trim looked),he was patient and kind. John and D were respectful of our home and time. We hired him on the spot for more work. Thank you John and D!

John recently completed a carpentry project for me (new porch post and replaced my rotten sliding door frame) and I couldn’t be more satisfied. He demonstrated great professionalism, was highly responsive, and worked extremely hard. John was always prompt and finished the job on time. The quality of his work is excellent. I highly recommend him for any carpentry needs.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$$
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We schedule an estimate where both decision makers can be present. On that day we provide you with a detailed estimate/ proposal that gives you a cost and breakdown of all the work you are asking us to do. After that we schedule a date of work where we ask for a 10% down payment upon execution of the contract, 40% the day we start, and 50% the day we complete.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in finishing and furniture design. I am lead abatement/removal certified. We are a licensed decorator, will complete my builders license within the year.
