Jim demonstrated superior customer service with his responsiveness, fair pricing and professionalism. He scheduled the job almost immediately and his team arrived early on the scheduled day and went straight to work. They were courteous and professional. They braved the extreme heat, rain and a storm to complete the job. The quality of workmanship stands out and I couldn't be happier with my new deck.

I’ve been working on a new deck for over a year. I had been ghosted by three other companies and was feeling burned out. Then Jim came in and blew our family away. We had a great meeting to discuss plans, talked through various options and got a great quote that same night. In less than 6 weeks, we went from design meeting to completed project. Jim was always willing to hear and answer my questions, use materials and strategies I preferred, and stayed communicative the whole time. In fact, he even bought the higher quality kiln-dried wood at no cost to us once he saw the inconsistent quality of the base decking that was available. In 4 days, he was able to the whole project including demo of the old deck. It was a great experience and we are in love with the new space.

We would 100% recommend Jim’s Carpentry. We contacted him to build a covered pergola over an existing deck. He was very receptive to my aesthetic vision. The workmanship is top notch. His team was timely, professional, and left the worksite spotless. They finished so fast too! This is very high quality work and I couldn’t be happier. Just call Jim, you wont regret it!

I hired Jim to do some repairs and improvements to our screened porch. It's difficult to find companies who will even work on an existing screened porch, so I was delighted that Jim showed an interest in the project. I knew that I wanted the stairs replaced, some posts replaced, and the underneath closed off with lattice. Additionally, I asked Jim to inspect our porch for rotten wood and make recommendations for repairs. Lastly, I was interested in adding a dog ramp off the back of the porch so our dog could get himself outside without injuring himself. Jim replied back immediately and we had a phone conversation later that day. He scheduled a time to come look and measure. He arrived on time, scoped the work, and gave me a rough estimate on the spot. Jim was kind, polite, thorough, and thoughtful. I could tell that Jim was the kind of person I like to hire -- trustworthy, honest, and good. After receiving an itemized estimate via email, I decided to proceed with the work. Jim and his crew arrived on time a few days later. Upon arrival, Jim was conscientious enough to not let himself into the back yard -- he called first to make sure the dogs were in the house. This is a simple act of thoughtfulness that surprisingly most people don't think to do. The crew was professional and polite. It was easy to communicate with Jim throughout the entire project. Most importantly, Jim helped make me feel comfortable to provide feedback if anything wasn't to my satisfaction. He encouraged me to inspect the work, ask questions, and let the crew know if I wanted anything. Sure enough, I wanted to make a slight modification to the dog ramp, and Jim and his crew were awesome about it. The project turned out exactly as I'd hoped. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work and the professionalism of Jim and his crew. We're planning a few more carpentry projects and I fully intend to use Jim for this work. If you're looking for any type of carpentry work and Jim is available, don't hesitate to hire him.
