What our customers say
Ed was excellent to work with — professional, skilled, patient, and just genuinely helpful. He installed a mantel, mounted my steer horns, helped place artwork, and even assisted with swapping out a TV, all while being mindful of my budget and the hourly scope. Everything was done with care and precision, and the finished wall looks amazing. What I especially appreciated was that he didn’t just do the work - he shared helpful tips (like a painter’s tape trick for hanging my remaining gallery pieces myself), which I really valued as a homeowner. He took pride in getting things right, communicated clearly, and even stayed a little longer to make sure everything was done well. Reliable, knowledgeable, respectful, and a pleasure to work with. I’d absolutely recommend ED and and would gladly request him again
...completed some much needed repairs around our garage door frame as well as the front door to our home. It required some heavy carpentry work. The completed job looked much better than the original and he did not cut corners on the products used either. Extremely skilled, a strategic problem solver, and a craftsman quality finish was far more than what I expected to get — in addition to very friendly, knowledgeable, and far beyond competent service A++ will use again in the future and recommend to anyone seeing repairs.
...was great with communication and service. He installed shower curtain rods for us and fixed our install mishap. He ensured to ask our thoughts and preferences along the way. Very professional and fairly priced. Highly recommend !
Consultation went great. Worked out some details to give a bigger picture and work to be started soon Update on completion. Installation went amazing. Looks exactly how I wanted it to look and the tech Chris was amazing and willing to do anything I was asking. Any issues he was willing to work with me on and made the process pleasant. Thanks again.
We had the front door repainted both inside and out, and the weather stripping replaced. I was happy with their service and feel they were very honest and professional.
