About us

Established in 2010. Since 1983 I have worked in the construction industry. While attending college for architecture, I began part time work as a construction laborer, and worked my way up over the years to becoming an independent contractor. We bring a broad range of experience to any of your home repair or improvement needs. We are a small, locally owned business with a large database of associates. Do you have projects you have been meaning to get to "someday" or others that have been on your "Honey do" list for too long? No job too small. Turn your "To Do List" into a DONE LIST! Let us help.

Response from Frank's A. Carpenter
[Member Name Removed], I am sorry that you are not able to afford the work. In order to complete work in a professional manner, it is necessary for me to charge professional rates. I do apologize. If you would like, we could do the job in phases so there is not one big expense all at once. Frank A. Carpenter

Two guys showed up to look at the work, but even after a second request, we never even got an estimate. That was several months ago. They may or not be good, but we never got the chance to find out. Poor, none existing follow up! I wouldn't hire them now even if they did give me an estimate.
Description of Work: Gutter cleaning, replace some roofing, painting, etc.

I apologize [Member Name Removed], but I have had more jobs than I can handle this year. Since you were not interested in having the work done until September, I was going to get you a quote in June or July. Again, I am sorry I was not able to get you a quote or complete the work for you. Frank

Frank was very responsive via the Angie's list text message service. When he came out for the estimate he seemed knowledgeable and provided an inexpensive quote. He was a little late on the morning of the job, but not to the point where it was a big issue. The wall was taken down pretty quick and Frank told me he would match the new pieces of wood with the current wall trim. The finish on the new wood is not even close to the trim that surrounds it. He also used a satin polyurethane finish instead of a glossy finish. In the short time since the job was done, the wood finish is almost chalky and scratches and marks are everywhere, which was unexpected. In addition there were several drops of finish that wound up on my carpet. Frank had to come out a second time to add more nails to one of the pieces of wood. I think for the price I paid I received adequate work, but I don't think I would go with this business again.
Description of Work: Took down a half wall separating the kitchen from the living room and inserted two wood pieces on the floor to take the place. Repairs the wall.

From small odds and ends to custom crafted shelving and everything in between, Frank is a master. He is very knowledgable, detailed and skilled at his craft. Frank treats even my small odd and end jobs like they are important. Multiple times has be brought my custom home decor visions to life. I can't rave enough about him.

Great. Frank's the contractor I go to when I want a job done professionally inside the house and on the exterior. Anyone can paint, but when you want your house updated and all those nagging items repaired property, Frank's your "go-to" handyman that can fix everything.
Description of Work: Frank has done two major jobs over the past three years. 1. Replaced outside wood siding with fiber cement siding & painted & repaired the entire exterior including rebuilding a garage door. 2. Kitchen remodeling (quartz counter top) and bathroom remodeling (tiling for the shower, safety bar for the shower, bathroom quartz vanity counter top, new bathroom sink and vanity mirror, installed comfort toilet (higher height and more efficient water use) and repairs throughout the house including painting the entire interior of the house, as well as fixing and repairing patio doors, and a bunch of annoying items that should have been repaired years ago. Frank can fix anything in your home. He's professional and reliable and does a great job.

Frank did an excellent job and in one area had to manually take the tiles off of the sheet and install them around a hard to fit area. He was finished with the job in a few days and it looks fantastic!! The bid he gave us for the wall removal was very competitive.
Description of Work: Frank has done several projects for my husband and I at our home. The latest was putting a tile back splash in our kitchen. He also just gave us a quote to remove half of a wall in our kitchen.

Frank was very responsive and went over on a weekend to look at the issue and come up with a solution. He went back the next day and repaired the problem.
Description of Work: Frank repaired a leak in a bedroom of a house I manage. He also added insulation so the bedroom stayed warmer.
