Quote: $150 for install plus $$ parts (vendor to provide) Work completed: installed fixture supplied by homeowner directly into the existing set up for the ceiling fan (no box , no extra wiring other than the black and white wire). Outcome: light works via existing light switch and fan works with remote. Due to cool weather have not used fan and ceiling light at the same time as of yet. No additional parts provided by vendor for the install, completed within an hour, minor dust and debris from project abated by homeowner.

Inquire on garbage disposal installation and change the hardwire into an outlet box, he quoted me…read more$250 for the two items. I agreed to do the only garbage disposal installation for $160 and set an appointment . He show up one hour early without communication. He told us need to do the outlet box and it will be additional $100 (decided to raise another $10) , my husband said he will do the outlet box himself, Jaime was ok to sell us electrical plastic box just extra $1-$2. When he finishes the job he said is $170, I asked why? He said because I brought you the electrical box that's additional $10. I told him I don't need the box you can take it back (since he want to up charge so much) , he got mad and say don't ever call him in the future for any service. We never wanted him to do the outlet box since the beginning, and he got mad because we didn't want to pay him $10 for this $0.50 electrical box he brought us. Poor communication and not professional at all.

I wanted to put a genuinely positive review for this company. He is more expensive than others in…read morethe business, but he does not cut corners and he respects your requirements, such as using stainless steel fasteners instead of cheaper materials. Jasper build some new cabinet doors for an outside electrical cabinet and they are just perfect. He is very professional and does very high end work, without questioning your pickiness. Instead he does the job the right way from the start, so there are no problems down the line. It is comforting that there are businesses out there like his with good intentions.

This is my very first Yelp review, and I truly felt this business deserved an excellent one. All…read morethe positive reviews you see are absolutely accurate. Professionalism: The team at Your Carpenter Friend was professional, meticulous, and clean, and they did an excellent job repairing dry rot around our home. They were so good that we've already recommended them to a couple of friends, and I hope they get the opportunity to work with them as well. Licensed: Yes Pricing: Pricing was reasonable and on par with other vendors we considered. Recommendation: Yes--100% recommend them. We plan to hire them again next year for additional work in the spring/summer, and I'll be happy to update this review then. Skill: They are truly skilled carpenters (Brendan, Zach, and Sam), which feels rare these days. While I don't do woodworking myself, I can certainly recognize and appreciate quality craftsmanship. In several areas, Zach and Sam came up with creative solutions to ensure water would not sit on the wood. They also discovered additional dry rot during the project and always consulted with us and obtained approval before proceeding. They worked non-stop--even in the cold! Work: I initially contacted Brendan for a mix of handyman work along with exterior dry rot repairs. He was honest and upfront about what could realistically be done during the dry season, so we decided to focus solely on the dry rot repairs. As it turned out, Brendan is a former termite inspector--perfect for anyone needing dry rot repair. They worked at our home for 3 days. There was one small area that wasn't painted on one side; once we brought it to his attention, Brendan came back the very next day to fix it. Their goal is clearly to make the customer happy, within reason. BTW -- he also does decks. Thank you, Brendan & Team!

Brendan came out to assess the project and provided a fair and detailed estimate within two days. He answered my questions clearly and honestly, and didn't try to upsell me on other potential work that I didn't ask for. Once I accepted his estimate, he scheduled the job in a very timely manner. He and his guys completed the job on schedule and on budget, which sadly seems like a rarity these days. I greatly appreciate Brendan's communication style and professionalism, as well as the high quality of the work he performed. I am planning another home exterior project next spring and would not hesitate to use this company for the carpentry work.

The quality of Dave's work was largely good, and he offered reasonable, practical solutions to the…read moreitems we discussed. Dave's follow-through with communication was very disappointing for 1. receipts/invoice and 2. follow through with minor touch ups. The moment we paid him in full--which we did the same day the last work item was completed--Dave became largely unavailable. While Dave explicitly stated he would send the receipt the same day we paid, we did not receive it and we had to text him three times over 5 days. He finally responded to the 3rd text stating he will send the receipt "shortly." It still hasn't arrived 11 days later. The lack of transparency is particularly concerning because the final bill was significantly higher than the initial estimate; though the scope of work increased, we have no way to verify the final costs without an invoice and receipts. We also noticed that the area he painted after work was done had white patches. We requested him to complete the paint touch up. When Dave finally responded to our outreach regarding the touch-ups after 5 days and 3 follow up texts, he informed us he could not return for more than a month due to a busy schedule. When we pointed out that we had paid for a complete job to be finished in a timely manner, he told us he could "send us some money for a paintbrush if it's that much of an emergency" so we could do it ourselves. Given we paid in full, we still don't have an invoice, and the paint was not done properly, we are disappointed at his dismissiveness and lack of availability to follow through.
