Introduction: My attention to detail and commitment to quality is a cut above the vast majority of those working in my field. I approach each client's home as if it were my own. I just like what I do. It's my chosen field of endeavor - that is, I pursued a career in carpentry/building/general contracting - I didn't just "fall into it" from some other job. I'm constantly reading up on the latest products, materials, techniques and methodologies. Methinks it's in my bones and in my DNA.

This is the second time I have hired Alex Long to do a remodel for me. This time, I wanted to turn an old recording studio building into a vacation rental duplex, pretty much from the ground up: in effect, Alex built two, complete, small custom homes. What impressed me from the first project was Alex's education and background in construction. He has years of custom home building experience and knows what he's doing. He wasn't the least expensive option for me, but I'm extremely confident that the slight additional cost was well worth the superior quality level of his construction. I've received huge compliments from my guests on his work - the quality is impeccable. Also, he's seen the gamut of construction obstacles--building and logistics--and always has a solution. Most important, Alex has an eye for detail, listens to what you want, and he does a solid job. I've always preferred working with the smaller, local companies for the personal service and craftsmanship. The variables involved with the various subcontractors sometimes required patience, but Ive learned to allow for that in my timeline. Alex has an artist's eye and years of construction experience and hes always courteous and professional. He listens to your vision and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Alex.

Alex is great! My girlfriend and I needed help putting up an Elfa hanging system after hitting some unknown objects behind the drywall and my not feeling comfortable about the weight bearing features of my hanging job. Alex came in to save the day. "Fear not! I'm a wizard with Elfa systems!" he said on the phone. Well -- I'm happy to say it's true! He not only mounted the shelving system in far less time than we could have done it, he also did it in a manner that I don't feel worried about the 500lbs (not an exaggeration) of books that are stacked on the shelves. Additionally he helped us hang some heavier pieces of art and get some awkward things into hard to reach places. While these things are mostly things we could have done ourselves, he did them better than we could have and faster. We knocked out a number of items in 2 hours and his fee was well worth it. I wish I had called him before drilling a bunch of unfortunate holes in the wall that were not only un-necessary but also placed wrong. Alex is professional and easy going. I saw pictures of his work online and wish I had some larger projects for him to work on. When I move, I'll be calling Alex again.

I did leave two voice mails about setting up a time to meet and never received a return call. Four to six weeks later the customer left this review.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For larger projects, detailed estimates are provided. Smaller projects are typically bid as a lump sum. Handyman/Carpentry services are hourly pricing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Reading mostly with an occasional workshop.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I worked construction during the summers through high school. After I graduated, I continued working as a carpenter to support my wife while she finished college, and then after she graduated, I started going to LSU and paid for my education working as a carpenter. Over the years I've done large commercial projects and large high-end custom homes. I've since downsized and enjoy doing smaller projects and carpenter/handyman work.
