Mike and RJ were great to work with. The arrived on time, performed the work professionally, were clearly experts at their craft and provided creative solutions to typical construction problems. We are extremely pleased with the doors and have asked for a quote on updating a hall bath.

Mike and RJ were great. These guys are old school and know what they are doing. They were early every day, clean and professional. I will be hiring them again in the future. I am a retired general contractor and these guys can work for me anytime.

I was in a pinch in the middle of a landscaping project and some rot issues were discovered with the cedar siding and sub-walling (Tyvek, particle board) that was behind stoops (steps) that were being replaced. I reached out to several carpenters in the area and Mike was essentially the only one that responded and did so in a timely fashion. Mike was able to squeeze our job in on short notice during a very busy schedule and knew exactly how to handle the job, explaining the best way to approach the job while also meeting my requests for the work (e.g., timing, specific materials, etc.). Mike was efficient in conducting the labor, which required two visits from him due to the nature of the other job (stoop removal and replacement). Mike sent pictures of the progress of the work and was completely transparent about the details of the job. I am really pleased with the quality of the workmanship and I will not hesitate to call on George Krinninger & Sons again if necessary in the future.

Mike and RJ rebuilt a side porch on my historic home. This included steps, pouring footings, replacing rotten wood and doing all this while maintaining the structural integrity of the original roof over this little porch. Mike was upfront with me about best and worst case scenarios and built exactly the porch I wanted. It looks like it’s always been there (which can be hard with an older home!). His communication with me was excellent, he’s very quick to return phone calls and emails or text messages and as always, he’s reliable and punctual. We have hired this company for a number of jobs and will continue to do so because the work is always excellent and mike stands behind everything he builds and fixes.

Excellent! Mike came to my house promptly and provided an estimate that I agreed to. He scheduled the work quickly and arrived exactly on time. He and his work colleague diligently completed the repairs. He reduced the final price because the work took less time than originally thought. He was very pleasant. I would always call Mike for carpentry work.

Mike and his associate were punctual and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time. The door operated well from the start, with only a need for minor adjustment of the closing mechanism by us after they were done. Later that night, the door would not open because the side molding had bent and was catching on the bottom plate. I sent an e-mail to Mike at 10:00 pm, and he responded before 7:00 am the next morning. He was at my house by 8:00 am and fixed the problem. He was expedient in identifying the issue and came up with a repair that cost nothing and restored full operation of the door!

Mike and RJ were on time and were able to finish the job quickly. One area that had rotted wood was not as extensive as we thought it might be. Therefore Mike reduced the cost of the work. All of the work looks good and everything is ready for painting next spring. They did a great job.

All 7 windows look great and will provide energy savings. They're just what we wanted. Mike was less than half of the price of a reputable local window company.
Description of Work: I hired Mike Krinninger to replace my 7 basement windows. He came to measure twice just to be sure prior to special ordering the windows from Menards. He kept me up to date frequently on the special order progress. When they arrived, he rapidly scheduled an install date and had the windows installed over the course of a Thursday morning. Throughout the whole process, Mike was honest, knowledgeable, upfront with pricing, and an all around pleasure to work with. Mike wants to earn an honest dollar and grow his business via word of mouth through platforms like these. It's so nice to work with a tradesperson who is trustworthy and will take the time to explain options and offer advice. I would hire Mike again for any home-related renovation or carpentry projects. Pricing was more than fair. In addition to his quality work, Mike is funny, friendly, and directs his employees in a pleasant and positive work environment.

I am very, very pleased with my experience with Mike Krinninger. From the time of his initial inspection, I felt confident that I was dealing with not just a windows installer, but with someone who would do the job right, even if problems arose. His communication and follow-up were outstanding. The actual work was very well planned out, and finished much sooner than I had expected. The results are great! I'm totally satisfied with the work quality, the price, and would highly recommend Mike for his friendly and professional service.

Excellent. Mike and his team did exactly what they said they would do and made suggestions to improve the quality of the repairs. Mike is a second generation carpenter. The quality of the work reflected that experience. They were easy to communicate with and punctual with arrival and departure. We were kept informed of progress as well as unanticipated concerns. The work area was cleaned up every day and meticulously cleaned up upon completion of the job. Excellent value for the work performed!! This is the second time in 3 years we have used Mike and his team.

The work went well. They showed up when they said they would, went about their work quickly and completed the work faster than originally estimated. As Mike Krinninger told me when he gave me the estimate, they only charged me for actual time and materials. The final cost for the work was less than half of their original "elbows-out" estimate. It was a pleasant experience. Interacting with them was consistently friendly, and I was able to learn a couple of things from them in the process. I would hire them for future work, and would happily recommend them to others.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mike and the screen repair work he did here yesterday. Because of the tricky way our windows and screens are installed, the job turned out much more complex than expected. Mike proceeded with expertise, thoroughness, and patience to complete (with excellent results) the work that could be done and took extra time to explain my options for what remained. I appreciated both his skills and generosity of spirit and would not hesitate to hire the company again.

I always face the task of hiring contractors with apprehension. Of course, getting good-quality work at an appropriate cost is foremost in my mind, but I also wonder, will I be comfortable having them in my home? Will they be respectful of my concerns and my questions? When they use terms like “cap flashing,” “MDF,” or “shoe molding,” will they react to my blank look with compassion or with condescension? I had no such worries with Mike. He answered my questions thoroughly and responded promptly with an estimate for the work I requested on my screened-in porch. He and his associate arrived on time on the scheduled date and set to work replacing four large screens and a torn door screen. The stairway to the ground had been built with only the top railings, so Mike added spindles that not only give the porch a finished look, but also will prevent small visitors from falling off the stairs on their way to the backyard. I am very happy with the results, and now having met Mike and hired him for a job, I am not surprised that he has received glowing reviews on Angie’s List! I will be recommending him to friends and neighbors looking for an honest, friendly, and professional carpenter.

Mike was extremely responsive when contacted for an estimate of the job. He was honest regarding the job detail, material used and his past experiences. Mike was very punctual on the day of the job and extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He performed the work in a timely manner and went above the job expectation by helping us repair our screen porch door. Our porch looks amazing! Mike did an awesome job. We recommend him and will use him again in the future.

Mike is professional, kind, and highly responsive. Following the installation, I noticed one area which needed more caulking. Mike was here the next day to do this, and I was thoroughly pleased with the work! He has incredible customer service skills and flexibility.... as well as patience with my multitude of questions! Our family highly recommends Mike Krinninger and his company, George Krinninger & Sons.
Description of Work: Mike installed new screen frames and screens in our outdoor living space. The frames were huge and the screens were a special order, so it took a lot of pre-planning and time to get the job just right. Mike did this exceptionally well!

Mike came out and inspected the damage, then proposed a solution and gave me an estimate. We selected a date to have the work done and he and his partner finished the job in a very short time. They jacked up the sagging joists and inserted braces on top of the concrete foundation to support them. In addition, they removed two courses of cedar siding on the exterior to make sure there was no hidden damage. When none was found, the siding was replaced with new materials. Mike was very knowledeable and a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely recommend him and would use his services again.
Description of Work: There was water damage to a section of sill plate and rim joist which resulted in several floor joists sagging. I had water damage to a section of sill plate and rim joist at the top of the cement foundation. The sill plate had rotted away and as a result, several floor joists were sagging.

Mike (and his assistant RJ) produced a wonderful finished project. The tile work, the cabinet installation, the finish carpentry, etc. all came together very well. Mike is all about getting the job done on time, at the best cost possible, and is extremely responsive and fair. I have recommended him to friends and they have also been pleased. When situations did arise during the project, many caused by other trades, Mike is ready with alternatives relating to the timeline, a different way to approach the problem, or just to be supportive and exude confidence that "we'll take care of it". Very pleased with George Krinninger and Sons.

Mike was great! He was very quick to respond and worked with us on pricing once the original quote was over our price range. We picked a date to complete the work that was very timely and also left little to no damage which was a nice surprise! (we originally had agreed on a lesser price point with an understanding that we might have to paint or have some drywall work to do). VERY pleasantly surprised and I will definitely use him again!
