Introduction

All around skilled handy person/carpenter. I have built high-end custom cabinetry and museum pieces, ultra-streamlined solutions to meet a budget, and everything in between. I have an architecture degree and 25+ years of experience building, making, troubleshooting and repairing - still love it. Excellent listener and client partner to ensure you love the end product; speedy and meticulous about getting it done. I leave my work area at least as tidy as I found it and take care of any and all any mess created by the project. For custom work, if you have a clear idea (or a fuzzy idea) of what you want to have built, I can help you understand the options, pick materials and a design, and get it done on time and on budget. PLEASE READ: I have a 2-hour minimum for service calls/coming out in person. No charge or time limit for working with clients remotely to review jobs, estimate time requirements, and identify materials and equipment - I want to be sure that I can execute your project once I come on site. For exterior work, nothing 2nd story or higher. I look forward to working with you!

We had an unusual project with finishing a 200 yr old French arched stained glass piece of art which was mounted in an interior wall. He did a great job and price was less than what he quoted. Looking forward to using him again on other projects.

I had an attic entry on my second floor big enough for a gnome. Wanting to get the attic insulated, I had to have it widened, so Eric swooped in to help. He explained what he was going to do and then widened it as I wanted, giving me a thing of beauty. It still needs finishing with texture and paint, but I can do that. He cleaned up his workspace, barely living a fingerprint. I will definitely be hiring him again. In fact, I almost wish I had a lot more carpentry projects to keep him busy. He's that good. (And don't you guys go booking him up so that I can't get him again!)

Eric has great skills, fixing cabinets and communicating about my cabinets. His solutions are right on. He gave me a few suggestions on how to prevent problems with my cabinets. Eric fixed a cabinet door that had fallen off. He was persistent and tried different hardware until it was right. He also adjusted all the other cabinet doors in the kitchen. He is honest and fair. I would hire him again.

Details: Repair existing cabinets • 1 - 5 cabinets • No existing cabinets to remove • Yes, I will provide the cabinets • Laminate • Kitchen • Home
