Alta Custom Carpentry

This was a complete kitchen remodel which involved changing the layout of half of the downstairs of the house. Two bearing walls were removed, a bathroom was moved, and a new kitchen was installed with a completely new layout. This was scheduled to be a two month project with a $30,000 quote for labor and materials (not including the cost of the kitchen cabinets, countertops or new hardwood floor in kitchen). This ended out being a two month project that came in on budget with no surprises! There were small surprises along the way, of course, once we started opening up walls but they were resolved quickly with no additional cost or delay to the project. The job site was cleaned up neatly every night, which was very important to me as living with no kitchen from mid-Februray through mid-April was NOT easy with 4 kids. Ted (the owner) also noticed mistakes that some of my subcontractors made (example - the hardwood floor guy was hired by me via my kitchen cabinet company) that could have compromised the quality of the floor being installed, and he pointed out their errors and also told me about them so I could insure that those errors were corrected. I would have never known there was a problem until the floors started expanding and buckling in summer heat and humidity. We were on a fairly strict timeline with this project as we needed to be ready to have the floors installed and finished while we were on vacation so we didn't need to kennel dogs and rent a hotel room again just for the floor to be completed, and he was done with days to spare before the floor guy came. In fact, Ted was hounding them to get there sooner to make sure everything was completely done before we returned. We were having problems finding a cabinet that would work in the new powder room, and Ted ended out making a custom cabinet to fit in there at my request. It's perfect for that tiny bathroom and you can tell it's not a Home Depot cabinet for sure! It's beautiful! The kitchen is flawless and the attention to detail made all the difference in the world. I can't say enough good things about Ted and Alta Custom Carpentry. I would hire him for all my future projects, and I actually did hire him for some small jobs after the kitchen remodel was done.
