I called him on the phone and scheduled a visit for an estimate. Gary came on schedule and quoted me a price and a start date. He arrived on schedule and completed on schedule. Quality of workmanship and cleanup were excellent. I would have Gary do any carpentry work in the future.
Description of Work: Because of the quality of the work Gary did on my sunroom I contacted him again to enlarge the entry to my bedroom closet by removing the two small doors and replacing with a large French Door style entry.

Once he finally showed up, he did an ok job putting the screens in. A few need some rework because they were over-screwed causing the wood to crack. Another needs to be recaulked. I was hoping this could be addressed when he returned later in the week to hang the screen doors and do some other work he committed to do at my house. However, he never returned. He also never responded to any of the text messages I sent to his cell phone. I will never use him again...too unreliable.
Description of Work: Gary installed custom made screens from a third party manufacturer in my screen porch. He was to return and install new screen doors and repair other items but he never returned or answered any messages I sent to hm

The owner of Old School Remodeling, Gary Hickman, provided excellent services at a very fair price. We asked Gary to install beadboard on all the walls in our master bath (from floor to ceiling), but instead of just quoting the job to do what we wanted, Gary provided an excellent recommendation for the installation. His recommendation was a whole lot better than what we wanted plus it saved us money. He could've went with what we requested and he would've made more money, but he looked out for our best interest. The bathroom looks excellent. Gary's work is superb. He started work on time and finished on time. We plan on having Gary's company to come back to do some more work on our other rooms. I highly recommend OLD SCHOOL REMODELING for remodeling work & general carpentry.

Not much to add to the above -- just that Gary used his expertise in the field to help me solve an issue by showing me how to make best use of the resources I had, and kind of went above and beyond, in my opinion.
Description of Work: I submitted a report earlier on work that the owner, Gary, did for us on a remodelling job at our house (and did a terrific job), but this is an updated report to say that I subsequently had a very positive experience in which Gary helped me out with figuring out how to get a task done using the resources I had at my disposal. I won't go into a lot of detail, since Gary actually was doing me a favor of sorts, so suffice to say that I'm submitting this report just to bolster my opinion that he's a straight-ahead guy, and an excellent workman.

The contractor was on time as scheduled. Everything was completed as itemized in the contract. Even a few extras included at no cost. He and his crew cleaned up their construction waste every day and took it with them. You would never know anyone had been here except for a couple of ladders they would leave in an unseen place each evening. The quality of the work was outstanding and I am very pleased with the end product. I highly recommend this contractor. It took approximately 2 1/2 weeks to complete.
Description of Work: He expanded my existing deck from 8' x 10' to 8' x 26' and completely enclosed it, insulated it, brought in two heating/cooling ducts from my existing system, installed a new door entry from the master bedroom, removed my existing patio door from the kitchen and created a new open entry to the room, built a new outside deck 6' x 8' (to accommodate a grill) with a door from the sunroom, installed 5 - 4'insulated windows, two ceiling fans, two indoor and one outdoor lights, 5 inside outlets and one outside, installed siding to the outside of the sunroom.

In addition to the comments above, I can also say that Gary clearly showed he had lots of experience in all manner of construction, not just in finish carpentry. I was impressed with his depth of knowledge (down to some very small points of precision work) and the economy of activity. He wasted no time, and had all the right tools and the right knowledge. I would definitely use this firm again for all manner of carpentry. Also, the completion price included materials (except the doors) and labor, so any prospective client should bear that in mind.
Description of Work: I had purchased a couple of French doors and didn't trust myself to install them properly, so I contacted Old School Remodeling to get an estimate. Gary called me back the same day, came out the next day and assessed the job. He gave me an excellent price, and we agreed on the spot to have him schedule the job. He was able to work us in within a few days, called the day before he was due to arrive to re-confirm, then showed up on time. He and his assistant got right to work and completed the job in less than the estimated time. Furthermore, he observed me working on something nearby and not only offered some valuable tips on how to proceed but also chipped in with some lumber cutting and other carpentry services to help me finish my particular project. He then also offered to help me with moving a wood stove, and he and his assistant went above and beyond in getting that done.

In short - I could not have done it without these guys. They are the most honest, trustworthy, dependable and skilled workers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I brought them in on recommendation to build a large deck - I kept them for 6 months to be my primary contractors on the rest of my complete house renovation. They take immense pride in their work and I built a complete trust in them to provide me with critical guidance through every step of the renovation. My recommendation--do NOT hire a general contractor - hire these guys, they do their own work (don't sub out) and can call in other trusted teams as necessary. My house is absolutely gorgeous and will last a lifetime - thanks to these guys. My highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Old School came in to demo existing decks and rebuild about 2,000 square feet of decks. The decking included 3 levels of deck as well as a sunken hot tub and sunken party deck. They ended up being my primary re-modelers for my entire house - top to bottom. These guys rebuilt flooring, tore out and rebuilt 2 kitchens, re-framed faulty walls, rebuilt 3 bathrooms, installed all new interior lighting, rebuilt a fireplace, distressed and installed a dozen timber beams, rebuilt a staircase and helped me general contract the rest of the project with the budget (electrical, plumbing, etc.).
