First started in residential construction in 2015, working with a wholesale remodeler. We fixed a lot of kitchen and bathroom floors, (sub-floor and joist water damage). Set new doors and hung new cabinets. Bit of drywall repair and fixture installation. Most houses got new floors, and trim also.
Worked on deck crews, and with a shed builder. Spent a few years working on new construction framing crews. Commerical townhomes and tract homes. Ive worked high-end, nda required sites. Worked with a coulpe trim crews and for a staircase company installing handrails.
Ive helped many build their dreams, and pay for their things. Im focused on me now. Id be very thankful for the work.
I look forward to talking with you about your project.
Sincerely,
Garrett Murgatroyd

Garrett did a phenomenal job redoing our deck. The deck was 20+ years old and needed replacement. He did an excellent job replacing the decking, adding new posts and lights The deck is new again with an upgraded cleaner design. He communicated very well and updated us on the progress regularly. We will use Apple Country Carpentry for more work in the future!

He showed up on time, did a professional job, and was very satisfied. However, his lack of people skills will prevent him from returning for other projects.

Your review is very similar to trying to communicate with you about the job you need done. I'm sorry my people skills are so poor. Thanks for the five stars though

Garrett did a great job cutting and laying particle board flooring in our attic and the cost was very reasonable. He was polite, professional and cleaned up after the job.

Garrett is an outstanding craftsman! Hired him to box in the eaves on the small cabin we are restoring and replace rotten siding on the gable ends. He wrote up a very thorough and detailed estimate for the job including quantity and cost of materials, and estimates of labor hours (which came out very close to his estimate.) The quality of his work was excellent! It changed the whole appearance of our place! Highly recommend him! He is a master craftsman and his work demonstrates this!

Unfortunately Maria, this stuff costs money. I can not buy the material for you. I do not have the time to clean your house so work can be done. Simple communication could get the work done. Your impatience, and in ability to communicate is the source of your frustration. You didn't have to yell at me, cancle and hang up. The level of pettiness you reached by leaving a one star review is testiment to who you are as a person.
Best of luck
