Jack has been a god-send to us. He does beautiful work, he's responsible, and he's filled with…read moreclever ideas. He has a real eye for design and I always welcomed his opinion (and trusted it more than my own). His millwork has been gorgeous and he's also seamlessly stepped into the role of general contractor after my prior GC turned out to be a total fraud. Through Jack's contacts, my entire house (inside and out) has been flawlessly painted and a balcony rebuilt. Other projects are in process, all because of Jack. Highly recommend! I will update my review once I have pics of finished!

He also constructed a stunning deck with an arbor that completely transformed our backyard into a vacation-like space. At Jack's recommendation, we added lighting, which elevated the entire project and created a warm, inviting ambiance in the evenings. Even more impressive, he completed everything in record time while showing up promptly every day. The whole experience was smooth and professional from start to finish.

Jack did an OUTANDING job on our cabinets. My mom had worked with three different carpenters…read morebefore, including Closet World, and each one either did a poor job or did not seem to know what they were doing. Jack was a complete turnaround. He was very kind, professional, and clearly skilled. He knew exactly what needed to be done and delivered beautiful results at a very affordable price. We could not be happier with the work and highly recommend him!

We had a hideous concrete slab that called itself a porch. For years, we didn't really know what…read moreto do with it, so we ignored it. But after redoing our garden beds and restoring our original exterior windows, that hideous slab became un-ignorable. It turns out finding someone willing to build a new porch is really difficult. We spoke to six different companies and most wouldn't be transparent about their pricing, quoted insanely high numbers, had spend minimums, tried to forgo the vision entirely to be closer to (but still above) our budget, or never replied. We reached out to Jack, not expecting much different, but were immediately impressed by the time he took to speak with us about our porch and design goals. He walked us through different considerations, proposed different materials, and answered questions to be sure we were all aligned and the integrity of everything would be solid. He then sent us an incredibly detailed recap and proposal of what he would do with itemized pricing, really underscoring his authenticity in wanting to be a true partner. Throughout every step of the project, Jack made sure to consult with us through any decision we needed to make or reconsider based on the actuality of what we were encountering. In construction, the only guarantee is that something will come up, requiring flexibility, and every time it did, Jack had solutions that actually ended up exceeding our original design. He was also incredibly patient whenever we deliberated on different ideas or when we were moving through his workspace. His commitment to our project and work was noticed and remarked on by multiple neighbors, as he and his team worked through long days and some brutal summer heat to get it done before we had family visiting. In fact, several stopped Jack, or us, to get his contact for themselves. Whenever it came to the finishing details, like custom balusters and top rails, Jack was quick to be critical of when a piece didn't turn out as well as the rest, pointing it out and starting over. Jack also had to laminate multiple pieces of wood together and seek out a specific machine to achieve the custom rounded top rail we were after for the new railing. By the end of it, Jack delivered us a porch that exceeded our expectations and our initial hopes. Having worked with so many vendors on so many different projects, we taught ourselves to not expect perfection but in this case, Jack delivered the closest to that of anyone, ever. The truth is, there just aren't many craft people like Jack around anymore. And there are even far fewer with customer service as incredible as their talent. Jack is one in a million and we consider ourselves supremely lucky to have met him and that he had availability in his project schedule.

We reached out to two other cabinet companies; one was crazy expensive and the other said we needed a new kitchen, lol. Luckily, I found Michael at Finish Carpentry. He was quick to respond and professional from the moment I reached out. He sent a detailed price breakdown of the work, was prompt, and completed the job quickly. It was 19 days from when we first reached out to when the project was complete. Our cabinet looks perfectly the same, the price was very reasonable, and we're so happy! He even caulked our countertop before leaving and swept up our garage. What an amazing family-run team. Can't recommend them enough.

As always, they do excellent work, are genuinely nice people, are VERY reliable and honest, and offer a great price! (I think they should charge more.).

Alex, the owner, is a genuinely talented carpenter with a great eye for design. His angled shelving solution for the shoe closet was really clever. We were very particular about measurements and custom details, and Alex delivered exactly what we asked for. Even when we requested adjustments after installation had already begun, he found solutions and made everything work for us. The installers were really professional, detail-oriented, and respectful of our home. They were very organized and worked cleanly. In addition to the new closets, Alex helped us resolve a few issues with our existing kitchen cabinets and island (done by another company). He worked with the materials we had, recommended improvements, and the final result looks great. We really enjoyed working with Alex and look forward to doing another project with him in the future.
