Jim and his crew were amazing. Jim is a master carpenter and his son, Zack is a GC. The crew ( Edgar and Victor) showed up everyday at 7am and worked nonstop on rebuilding my 30y/o deck which had rotted out. No corners were cut. The job was exquisite. Absolutely no complaints or disappointments. Very easy to work with. Said it would take 5 days and it did plus it was a big project.
If you are going to choose carpenter, choose Jim’s Carpentry. His reviews and skill set speak for itself.

Jim came out to look at the job promptly. He gave a quote for the work. Then he scheduled the job. They showed up on time. The job was completed and the area was left clean.

Jim’s Carpentry recently completed a three-season sunroom and deck restoration project for us, and we could not be happier with the experience or the final result. It’s always challenging to find a contractor who can truly understand your vision for a major home investment, and execute it with precision, but Jim and Zach exceeded our expectations at every step.
Their dedication to the project was clear from day one. The attention to detail was outstanding, the craftsmanship was exceptional, and the final product turned out even better than what we had envisioned. Jim’s eye for design and ability to bring ideas to life was invaluable, and both Jim and Zach consistently went above and beyond to ensure each phase was completed to the highest standard. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and we always felt informed and confident in the work being done.
We are thrilled with the outcome and could not recommend Jim’s Carpentry more highly to anyone considering a deck, three-season sunroom, or any carpentry project.

Jim and his team did an excellent job with tear down and rebuild of our deck, that included expansion, at a fair price. They were very easy to work with and Jim was very responsive.

I like to meet with them to see what they are looking to do. Then I give them additional ideas if requested. I alway want to have a clear process of what will be the steps I will follow to completing the work.

I have over 30 years experience in construction and have my construction supervisor license.
