Paul Lundahl

Paul did a variety of jobs for me during the Fall of 2013, all of which made use of his excellent carpentry skills. One of those jobs was to make major repairs to my front porch. Paul replaced a large section of the porch floor, he replaced one of the steps, and he strengthened the supporting structure. (I live in a 100-year-old Victorian with a front porch that spans the entire width of the house.) Another reviewer described Paul as meticulous, and I agree; but Paul also brought great intelligence to the planning and execution of the project. His meticulous attention to detail was a bonus that was a pleasure to see. A second project was to replace the sort of cellar door that is outside many old Victorian homes. (The door is positioned on a slant so that when you lift the door, you walk down a short flight of steps to a vertical door that gives access to the basement.) Sounds simple, but it took great ingenuity to create what I asked for. I wanted a wooden entrance because it's more in keeping with the age of the house (as opposed to a steel door that I could have purchased at Home Depot or Lowes.) I wanted to spend less than one of the steel doors would have cost. I wanted the entrance to be attractive. And I needed the cellar door to be light enough for a 100-pound female to lift. Paul did all that (he solved the weight problem by building two slanted doors that meet in the center) and more. One bonus (I didn't think to ask for this) was a set of latches underneath the doors so that the cellar doors can be locked from inside. Plus, the entire structure is more attractive than I could have imagined—once again due to Paul's creativity and meticulous execution. Paul completed several smaller jobs as well (basement steps repair, new back door threshold, kitchen door repair)--in each case making use of his superb carpentry skills, his intelligence, his creativity, and his meticulous attention to detail.

We completed a $35,000 rehab. We added cabinets to the kitchen, countertops, a deck, replaced windows, major electrical work, paint, carpet, mold remediation, insulation, a new front porch, landscaping, etc. Paul handled the trim work, carpentry projects, some painting, etc.

Paul was very professional. He was on time, and cleaned up after himself. He did everything he said he was going to do. Meticulous work, takes alot of pride in his work. You just don't find his work ethic anymore. Definately hire him again!

Everything on my checklist was done to my expectations. Paul did an excellent job painting, detail oriented in his work. Cleaned up after himself, respectful and on time. Would recommend him to anyone!

Paul is an excellent worker. He is neat, on time, and arrived on the days he said he would. His costs were extremely fair and his work is meticulous. I would highly recommend Paul for any work.
