My husband and I have used Frank Clark of Clarkworks, LLC three times to do renovations in our home. More than five years ago, he was an integral part of renovating our basement into a three-room recording studio for my husband. The type of work involved to get my husband's home business up and running was extensive and Frank was up to the task. He did an amazing job right down to the custom woodwork for the window and floor moldings.
A few years later, we hired Frank to renovate our upstairs bedroom. It was in dire need of repair from water damage. Frank picked up the project after we had done the demolition and insulation. He re-framed the closet doorway, moving it over the accommodate our bedroom layout, sheetrocked and spackled everything, and worked with me to come up with a design plan for the custom floor moldings. I can't say enough amazing things about the combination of trims he used to come up with the final "look." I was so pleased after that project and excited to start the next one.
Two years after doing our bedroom, he worked with me to remodel my large office. Again, he picked up the project after demolition and insulation, allowing me to save money for custom woodwork. He designed a simple shelf to fit in an existing space. My office is on the second story of a Cape Cod home and has a slanted roof. The bookshelf fits perfectly into that space. We carried over the molding design from the bedroom into the office and wrapped it around the bottom edge of the new bookshelf. It's my favorite room in the house!
And right now, we're in the middle of a two-part hallway reconstruction project where the first part skim-coating all the old walls, taking out a closet, making a new closet (including custom shelves), and putting on an appropriate sized door for an eve. I was nervous at first about the idea of skim-coating walls; I really wanted to rip them all out. But Frank managed to convince me that it wasn't necessary and he could do the job well. He brought along Orlando, who works with him occasionally, to help out. Both have done an awesome job. I can't believe how flat these walls are! Smooth like butter!
In the Fall, we'll have Frank back to do all the beautiful custom woodwork for both the floor molding and a new railing. Frank and I have already fleshed out the design for that.
I really can't say enough great things about working with Frank Clark. He's trustworthy, honest, and above all an amazing woodworker. I highly recommend you check him out for your next home remodeling project. read more
