We have had nothing but top notch work from Shawn and Ryan at Compass Carpentry! These guys know…read moreexactly what they are doing and how to do everything right (and if they don't know themselves they know who does). They work quickly, efficiently, and cleanly. They communicate very effectively and meet your needs. Their prices are not the lowest but neither are they the highest. They do wonderful work at perfectly reasonable prices and won't try to sucker their clients. Here is a sample of what we have had them do and it just keeps growing... Shawn resolved an electrical problem in three minutes that other electricians were estimating would take days. Shawn put in railings for our stairs and made a gorgeous mantle for our fireplace. Shawn also put up security lights for us. Shawn and Ryan replaced two broken down old windows with great new ones that are energy efficient. Shawn built a fantastic custom closet and laundry room cabinets for us that make the laundry room much more pleasant to be in and very functional and adjustable. We even had them build us a custom captains bed frame for my 6'8" tall hubby with storage drawers. Currently Shawn is repairing my Mom's back door and our gate that broke in the wind yesterday and tomorrow he'll be coming back to discuss a patio and garage project as well as fix some smoke alarms. I wish Shawn had been our home inspector because he immediately saw the issues we discovered only after we moved in. So now we are using his skills and knowledge to make our family homes better. They are great around kids too (an important thing for parents of small ones to note). I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Professional, detail oriented, friendly, and thorough are words that describe the entire Curb Appeal crew. We look forward to having them out to complete our future projects. The space went from ugly and outdated to modern and beautiful thanks to their hard work and careful attention to details. Blaine Jr. took the time to thoroughly understand our long term project needs, in addition to the basement renovation we were focused on last year. Once under contract, he was always responsive and on top of things as we got ready to start the project and once it was underway. Blaine Sr. was always friendly, helpful, and professional, as were the rest of the crew. We plan to have Curb Appeal continue to be our contractor of choice for virtually any home improvement project that is too big to handle ourselves. The fact that all of the above is true despite the project occuring during the first part of the Covid nightmare only solidifies my opinion. This crew is rock solid.

I waited years to post this review to see if I would feel better about it. I do not. Blaine Jr comes through and does a long winded presentation that makes you feel like the company will be professional. I needed my sunroom roof redone since it was leaking. In actuality, the whole sunroom probably needed to be replaced. The sunroom was switched from glass to plastic per my request. He told me during our long meeting that I would be able to discuss it more when the crew came in. I came home and they had already started and no discussion was had with me about anything. I figured they knew what they were doing so I just went with it. The next day I came home and there was double the amount of support beams that blocked out a good amount of sun. I found this odd as the plastic is significantly lighter than the glass that was previously there. I feel like he forgot he was using plastic and planned it for the glass. I paid for more wood that wasn't needed and the sunroom does not look as good with all the extra beams. It also started to leak within a couple months again and the crew had to come back out and fix it. They changed it up a little and added weather strip that looks forever to come in. I'm a few years out now and the sunroom is leaking again and every time I look at how many beams there are up there I'm upset again about the whole thing. I should have waited and replaced the entire sunroom and gone with someone else. On top of it, I felt like Blaine Jr was dismissive, condescending, and kind of a know it all. I had to request to not speak to him anymore and did all ongoing discussions with the lead instead. On a side note... the crew was very nice and did their best.

He worked very quickly on an estimate, and even checked the nearby bathroom for the same problem, which he included in his quote. The estimate was also very descriptive and concise. Once we paid initial deposit and scheduled a start date, Lou and his team worked quickly and efficiently. He was very communicative with our tenants as well, and our tenants even commented that he was very professional and his work was done to a very high standard. Paying for the work was also very simple and convenient, as there is online payment available, and invoices are then emailed. I will definitely be reaching out to Lou and his team if I need anymore work done in the future!

Dave solved so many problems for us created by a previous worker who often didn't know what he was doing. Very reasonable prices, helpful with all of our questions any time, flexible, easy to work with. He did a ton of things - electrical, plumbing, carpentry, grout, you name it. He installed vents and lights, cleaned up dry rot and mold, changed the electrical outlets.. too bad we didn't find him earlier.

I had a leaky bathroom faucet that I knew from previous handypersons that had "fixed" it that it was a gasket inside the faucet. Daniel came and left at least twice to "get the proper parts" or "tools." I explained what the issue was before he arrived. At one point, I walked into the bathroom and saw him on his phone, not fixing anything. He also opened the faucet that I didn't have an issue with, which now leaks. There is a permanent footprint that I still have not been able to get out of the tub and looking over my invoice I paid $60 for a rubber gasket and $285 dollars for a 3 hour job that should have only taken a half an hour max. At the time I was thankful that they came so quickly so I didn't say much but now I am having another issue and decided to check reviews to see if they would be able to do the job, or if my experience was a fluke, but see that others have had the same issue with extended job times, faulty work and missing tools/parts that create the need for larger charges. I think I will have to pass on hiring again. It also made it hard to give this review because they were both friendly but I have to question the professionalism.
