We just wanted a book case, but the Wood Doctor team created a lovely piece of custom furniture for us. And, it was a great value,. The Wood Doctor is a craftsman of the highest order who, justifiably, takes great pride in the work product. Additionally, it was a pleasure dealing with the Wood Doctor. He is pleasant and personable as was his colleague. Work started precisely when they said it would.. Rob listened attentively and did exactly what he said he would. We would not hesitate to hire him again. In fact, we have already recommended him to others. We consider the Wood Doctor a "real find".

Outstanding. Robert was from the start extremely professional, on time for appointments and personable. He understood my wishes completely and didn't try to sell me his ideas for my project, instead he listened and designed the floor to ceiling, wall to wall case just as we envisioned it. Pricing was very reasonable and all in all we were very pleased.

Rob, The Wood Doctor, was hired to repair damage in my rental home caused by the previous tenant's dog to the door casing, baseboard, shoe moulding, and corners of the kitchen cabinets. I hired him based on his quick response to my request, his assurance that he could get the job done in my compressed time schedule, the feedback from other AngiesLists customers, and his website photos. Unfortunately, the repairs were not completed in a satisfactory manner. The baseboard and casing had a slightly different profile that didn't fully match with the existing, the door casing repair was skewed and did not align with the upper portions, and the overall repairs were easily distinguishable and stood out. The baseboard corners were highly detailed and taller than the originals, again not matching with the existing. The shoe moulding was completed reasonably well although the nail holes were not puttied. The cabinet repair had lots of putty (wrong color too), it still needed to be sanded, and the damage was still very noticeable. Due to my tight schedule, I just sent him on his way, knowing that I could make time in the evenings over the next days to fix the issues. I hired someone so I wouldn't have to do that in first place. I did follow-up with him after the fact and expressed my dissatisfaction. Due to the poor quality of workmanship, the lack of the attention to details, and the inability to meet an agreed to time frame, I would not recommend hiring the Wood Doctor.

Response from The Wood Doctor
Thank you, we appreciate your business and the review left on our company. I apologize for any miscommunication on my behalf for this specific job. This was a challenging job that was needed to repair damage done by your tenants and tenants’ dogs. I did explain that the job would take 3 days due to the extent of the damage. We agreed that the painter you hired was to fill all of the nail holes. Also, I do understand that you were unhappy with the color of the stain used, which was out of my control since you provided the stain for me. Lastly, we scheduled my services on Wednesday which was the day I did the initial work, and at the time we agreed upon. It would have been helpful if you would have disclosed your dissatisfaction when we did the final walk through instead of saying you were satisfied with job done. I would have addressed any issues and corrected them at that time for you.

Rob was fantastic. Our vision for what we wanted was not a typical or easy job and he was able to build our vision. The detail work was very important to us and Rob nailed it! Rob was very meticulous in his work and constantly checked in with us to ensure that the detail work was done to our liking. His professionalism and knowledge helped us to problem solve the unforeseen challenges and still get us the outcome we wanted without adding great costs to the project. Everyday Rob would touch base to confirm his arrival time. I can't tell you how nice this is when you are in the middle of a large project that has your home torn apart. Rob would work a full day and clean up before he left. He always showed respect for our home and appreciation for the job that he completed. We would recommend Rob to anyone needing a carpenter. He is efficient and detail oriented and does a great job listening to his clients needs. He was always happy to adjust or re-do something to get it exactly how we wanted it.

Rob and his son Jordan were amazing. Rob designed custom benches and customized our existing kitchen table. We have been searching for a table that would fit in the small area of our dining room. He came and measured and gave us some suggestions and then built and stained the table top and benches at his shop and called to install them. They look amazing. He was more than accommodating for our time table and we are very happy. We will be calling him early next year for some other projects in our home. Good honest people are hard to come by but we are thankful that we found you Rob the Wood Dr... Thank you.

Basically, the Wood Doctor came in and said he could complete a cabinet installation (we had all new doors and drawer fronts). He had put two cabinets fronts up and decided the job was not for him and we had agreed. We appreciated his honestly and had no hard feelings.

Robert met me at my home to provide a quote. I paid him 50% up front as a deposit. Robert showed up at the agreed upon date and time to perform the work. He performed the work meticulously and asked if I was happy with his work. I told him I was pleased. He cleaned up the area and departed with a check for the balance paid in full.

Hes very cordial . He s very slow and very expensive. Had him give me an estimate on enclosing shelves with 3 doors. He wanted prehung doors etc for me to get the material and was going to charge over a thousand dollars. I could have had cabinets installed for $600.00 or be cheaper and go to the salvage get all the material there for about $100.00

Response from The Wood Doctor
Im not at all pleased with this review.First and foremost i take alot of pride in my work .This member asked me to hang a cabinet which was done and then fix her lazy susan which had major problems opening and closing .She indicated that Iwas too slow .I basically had to rebuild the inside of the lazy susan being that the adjustment table was in bad shape .this was a time consuming project being that i had to figure how to do it .Itold her I would do my best so not to invest in a new one which would require removal of the countertop .I fixed it .she seemed very happy .gusss not? what she doesnt underatand there is no quick fix for issues like this .I then looked her garage project which shwanted me to enclose this highly unsightly area "her words".Mthoughts were to put all new pre hung doors in the front which would look great .She mentioned that she would like to sell the house within a year.She mentioned used doors from a salvage area also which I told her I would not install due to the fact it would take a huge amount of time to make them work not cost effective. She never once talked about a budget and was obviously not happy with my proposal Thanks Rob Wooddoctor

After I purchased the "Big Deal", I contacted Rob. The list of services that he specialized in were very specific. I had some difficulty arranging an appointment. Rob showed up promptly, was very courteous and professional. He had some difficulty assembling my patio furniture set (the directions were not very specific) and he impromperly/incompletely assembled one of the chairs. However, this task was not one of his specialty areas and I would hire him for a different job. I would recommend discussing the proposed task with Rob in detail before engaging him on a project.

Even though it took quite awhile to get a weekend appointment, I was thrilled with Rob and his workmanship. I initially bought the closet doors this past winter and when my son couldn't install them, I stored them in the shed, where they warped. Rob worked hard to get them installed correctly. Underneath my kitchen sink was a disaster where a handyman previously fixed a leak and just put a cheap piece of wood on top of the deteriorating wood. Rob gutted it and placed all new wood - not just the shelf, but the surrounding areas. It was great!

With great regret........I need to write my 'HONEST OPINION'. This is NOT a company I would deal with in the future. I have NEVER written such a review and hope to never have to write another. Other than this experience, Angies has some of the FINEST COMPANIES I have ever used and I plan on using many different ones in the future. The fact that I've had such good results from business' (H&K Plumbing, Tap and Sons) on referral from Angie, I feel they (Angie) must 'vet' their clients pretty good. I think that about says it all........
Description of Work: Company called me once and asked what I wanted done. I explained I needed some doors put up. He said I lived a long way away and the $79 (2 man hours work) would not cover the whole cost. I said I would have him do what he could and then see what it would cost me at that point to continue. He said he'd check back with me on when he would be over in my area with another client so the travel wouldn't cost him so much. I agreed and he said he would get back with me.......that was the one and only time we have spoken and that was on Jan 28 and this is Mar 8th....... Brought the Big Deals help desk into it and though they tried to negotiate with him (on my behalf) it seems to have gotten us nowhere......

Response from The Wood Doctor
{Member name removed} why dont you post the truth about ur discussions you only disclose to the other members what you want you should also express to everyone the first thing you told me on the phone amongst other things that you have 3 doors for me to hang and importantly " do what ever you can in 2 hours" then drop your tools and go home."Im not paying you for a minute more." If you needed to disclose that to me initially that to me is starting off bad and can only get worse.I hae been doing what i do for 30 yrs knowing I did good days work every day. I take pride in what I do and will continue but not with people who have an attitude like you showed me
