Big Dog Designs did incredible work on my front porch and back deck. He was punctual and worked throughout the day. His price for the work was a lot cheaper than I expected. The porch looks great! He responded to my needs quickly and completed the work in one day. I will contact Big Dog Designs in the future for my carpentry needs.

We contacted Brian to repair my parent’s deck boards and add a wheelchair ramp. He was professional, courteous, friendly and prompt throughout our interactions in messaging and in person. Before he had the opportunity to get his bid to us, we had a family member notify us they were available to do the project for just the cost of materials, so Brian didn’t get a chance to work on our project, but he will be our first call on the next project we need help with.

Had Brian do a prehung interior bathroom door and some base trim and quarter round in the bathroom. Brian was on time and very courteous. The work was okay there was a few things as far as the trim goes with a large gap and being 3 pieces together behind the toilet. The trim on the outside of the door also completely covers one side and barely covers the other side.

Details: Interior door, like a bedroom or closet door • 1 door • Standard • Wood • Yes, the new door replaces an existing door • No, I’ll purchase the door myself • Install new trim around the door • Home
