I had Phil come out and give me a quote for some work around my house. Had lots of things I was interested in having fixed but primarily concerned about some work in the basement. He showed up on time as expected. Showed him around the house for the various things I wanted fix but let me him know I was primarily concerned about the basement. He left and the next day he sent me quote. He hasn't replied to any phone calls or emails since I received the quote. Don't waste your time with this guy.

Ken did a fantastic job. When I initially met with Ken, I had a very disorganized entry closet, a…read moregeneral idea, and a picture off the internet of what I thinking. From just the picture Ken came up with a plan and was able to design and build a custom entry bench and storage. After the initial meeting and design, Ken came back onsite a couple weeks later with most of the materials built out, and assembled and installed everything. Could not be happier with how everything turned out. He leveraged every bit of functional space, which we need with small children, and also made a beautiful entry piece. Ken was super professional, kept me updated along the way and clearly went over options or any ideas I had for changes. Will definitely use him again for future jobs.

Ken is very nice to work with, honest, and fair in pricing. He is very good at what he does and his craftsmanship is excellent. He took the time to understand the job and do it right. Hard to find a good contractor these days, and I was lucky to have found him. I will hire Ken again whenever I need custom woodwork done.

Chris listens to what you are wanting and often will not only make suggestions but also explains why. I have received many compliments on the this from not only family but friends also.

We found Brian and Carpentry Connection through HomeAdvisor for our deck re-build project. When he…read moregot our information through Home Advisor, he called promptly and came to our house that night to estimate the new deck costs. We were tearing down a very small/old deck and wanted to replace it with one that went the length of our home. We had 3 other contractors come for an estimate and gave us some obnoxious pricing for a plain rectangular deck with no bells or whistles. When Brian came over, he listened to what we wanted and then asked if he could design something different. He drew up a rough design on a napkin and it blew our minds. In addition, Brian offered to build us a pergola, a privacy wall and a bar table included in our price. No other contractor offered anything different than a plain square design. Once the project started, his crew worked fast and the quality of design was way more than we expected. All the corners were rounded and he framed out the exterior portion of the deck for a nicer look. What impressed us the most is that Brian offered us upgrades that would have a better look and without seeing it, he was able to imagine things that we couldn't even think of. We took the extra upgrades even though it cost more and Brian was right, every upgrade we did made the deck look so great. Brian worked with us throughout the process and when we requested something, he made it happen. He figured out how to make it work. We could not be happier with his customer service, his craftmanship and the overall experience. We have had friends and family over and everyone was speechless when it came to his design and quality. We were very satisfied and he will be our first call for any future projects!

The scope of the project grew as we realized that we needed more things done in the house before we could move in, which included: installing several interior and exterior doors, removing and reinstalling a built-in set of drawers, installing and fixing flooring, removing a built-in wet bar in the basement, doing some work in a bathroom so we could put in a new vanity and bathtub, removing a wall between two rooms so one could be turned into a walk-in closet, making a small alcove into a closet, stripping down a door to be refinished, making shelf supports for our long pantry shelves so they don't bow from the weight, and helping fix a basement leak that was due to the prior owner not properly fastening his deck to the foundation. I am sure there some things I am forgetting, but the bottom line is that Patrick and Chris were always up to doing what we needed done. They were on time, professional, friendly and easy to work with. Patrick was great about providing quotes for all of the work, and had very reasonable prices. In addition, when I needed a contractor for something that he couldn't do, he knew someone in the area he could recommend, and those recommendations (of which there were several for: roofing, plumbing and tile work) worked out great. My wife and I appreciate the great work that Patrick and Chris did, and would highly recommend them for any type of construction project - whether it's big or small.
