Splash Carpentry

From start to finish it was a total pleasure working with Dylan. He's a real professional and master craftsman. I had ideas of a design based on a photo that I liked. After redrawing and working out the details via email and meetings in person, the actual piece he built was so much nicer--not even a comparison. Although it was a built-in unit, he constructed it entirely in his shop--right down to the beautiful lacquer paint job. In only a few hours, the bookcase was installed--and no less on a holiday weekend to accommodate my schedule. I couldn't be more pleased. I would absolutely use Splash Carpentry again.

They did a beautiful job! Did a lot of research to find the right material for the curved section of the balcony.

He was very good about communicating and following up. He explained the project, the plan and the cost clearly and upfront. He was prompt, quick and quality minded. The end result exceeded my expectations. I will use Splash Carpentry for my future projects.

Work was done with hustle and quality. Little bit of a late start because of an issue with their van. Got a great deal with their coupon - great work and cleanup - thanks!

Work performed was excellent, and communication was very good. Adrian communicated his schedule and kept to it closely. The work was great, and we will use him again for future projects.

Adrian coordinated the job and Gheorghe did the carpentry work. The work was excellent, and it is clear that they take pride in their craft. They have great knowledge about wood, and this shows in their work product. I was very happy with the quality of the carpentry work and would utilize their services again. I should note that all of my communication with Adrian was via email, which seems to be their preferred method of communication. This took some time to get used to, but he is very prompt in replying to email messages. Gheorge is a very skilled carpenter, and I strongly recommend him.

Very courteous, prompt, good work...I would definitely recommend them!

From the start, Adrian was keen to ensure my customer satisfaction by visiting my job site and discussing my requirements, for which he provided a highly competitive quote for both labor and optional materials. He was upfront about timing to complete the work - a three week lead-time which was acceptable. He consistently checked in to confirm details and to confirm job start while working around my personal constraints related to some surgery. He followed through to the end. Paul did most of the detailed work under Adrian's guidance. What a thoughtfully diligent and hard-working craftsman! Dedicated to perfection, he worked and reworked the trim pieces, periodically checking on my approval and satisfaction. I consider this staircase a masterpiece, and judging by my friends' critiques, my views are reinforced. Rarely, have I ever felt the need to praise contractors as I have with this team. I gladly topped Splash's quote with a gratuity, and I am pleased to recommend them to others. In fact, I already have begun my own referrals. These folks show what European craftsmanship has always been about.. As a side note, Adrian referred me to his uncle George, who did an impeccable job of converting all the doors in my townhome from flat slabs to six panel doors at a very reasonable price. Likewise, he changed out and built a custom fireplace mantel on the spot. that too is getting complimentary reviews from some of my friends. George is rather quiet and sometimes difficult to understand, but he really is like my own uncle- caring in spirit and a perfectionist at his work. i admire his professionalism and his work ethic. What a craftsman!!! The other referral was M&N Flooring. They too provided exceptional value in completing their jobs as well, although outside the scope of my Angie's List purchase. Bottom line. Splash is a company you should want to do business with. And yes, I would be most happy to tell others about my experience. Remember these names - Adrian, Paul, Eric, George and Matthew. they are all connected directly or indirectly with Splash Carpentry. Great resources doing quality work for a great price. That is extreme value in my honest opinion.

Good work. A little hard to communicate with due to my carpenter having English as a 2nd language, and not all that "nice" about some of my requests, but I guess I only need a good "bed side manner" from my doctor so I'd hire them again as work was good.

They told us they would be here Sat. morning. We waited all morning, into the afternoon, but no one showed up. We never heard back from them. They have a serious lack of professionalism. I would NOT use them and would advise others to avoid them. UPDATE: Adrian responded quickly to my initial bad review. He apologized and said an employee misreported the status. He came out immediately to remedy the situation. He was pleasant and thorough. I'm now awaiting an estimate.

They did a wonderful job and were professional and did excellent work. The crew showed up on time and worked hard during the day. I would recommend them to anyone, and would hire them again. Where we had an old, ugly deck we now have a great looking, shiny new deck.

I bought the Angie's LIst Big Deal for carpentry work and used it to have some crown molding installed in our home. I contacted Splash Carpentry prior to purchasing per their request and got a rough estimate of the time. We agreed we would pick up and provide the material so everything was at the house and ready to go for the carpenters. Not having seen the space other than in pictures they estimated they could do two rooms for the price of the deal. They were very responsive via email although communication about the schedule for when they would come could have been better, I had to reach out to them to confirm and set up, but once I reached out they responded appropriately. When they came to install they were only there for 2 hours (the deal covered 4 hours with 2 men). Since I had pre-paid for the deal and had two other rooms I wanted done (but only had material for the original 2 rooms we initially planned on) they agreed to come back again to install in the two rooms once we had purchased more molding. They came back after a week or so and finished the installation in the other rooms. They worked quickly, were very clean, and they made sure to confirm what we wanted as they were on site. We were very happy with the value and the work and appreciated that they immediately worked with us to fulfill the remaining two hours we purchased with the deal.

We learned about Splash Carpentry through an Angie's List Big Deal coupon offer. I contacted the owner, Adrian, via e-mail prior to purchasing the coupon to confirm that they would take the job. I sent pictures and we had a few back and forth discussions via e-mail. Adrian responded quickly to all e-mails. I authorized him to purchase necessary supplies. George, our carpenter, was prompt and pleasant. There was some initial confusion because either I hadn't known what questions to ask Adrian or because Adrian didn't understand, from the pictures exactly what we needed. George was surprised to see that we needed a post and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was able to incorporate all of our original parts. George took it all in stride and left to build a post. There was no additional cost (because the coupon covered 8 hours of labor). The staircase looks great and I couldn't be more pleased.

I was very satisfied with their work.

WE DISCUSSED WHAT WAS TO BE REPLACED AND WAS COMPLETED IN ONE DAY, WE HAD ONE HIC-UP WHEN THE WORK WAS DONE AS I FELT IT WAS NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PAINTED. HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ADRIAN AND HE HAD IT PAINTED WITH NO ADDITIONAL COST. I AM PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME OF THIS PROJECT.

Everything was great- it was an Angies List Deal- very professional & turned out great- great price & service- what more can you ask for!! It was a day project-

They did a good job, and got it done in the allotted time. They were professional, and cleaned up after themselves.

Absolutely first-rate outcome. Gheorghe (a Romanian craftsman) came every day, even on some rainy days, and he meticulously and methodically did a master job. I accompanied him to lumber yards to pick out the best boards and materials available. He rejected maybe 10 boards for every one he selected, and the results speak for themselves--no knot holes, no curved or bowed boards, and everything straight & true. Gheorghe constantly used his leveler to ensure that every part of the deck was on the level or sloped as needed to aid run-off. He advised me on adhering to building codes, made some needed strengthening & safety adjustments, and he pointed out numerous ways to enhance the look of the deck such as beveling the railings. He even poured a concrete slab beneath one of the stairs that he built. I work at home, and so I was fortunate to see Gheorghe in action . . . efficiently measuring, sawing, drilling, screwing, and hammering. It really was a pleasure to see him work. He mentally constructed the entire deck and had me take notes about quantities of various items, knowing exactly how many feet & types of boards would be required, how many nails, and how many screws he would need. No waste at all, and when finished he helped me return any leftover materials for a refund. And then he came and removed the large pile of leftover lumber and rubbish before my poor lawn suffered much underneath it all. He even raked the lawn! I wholeheartedly recommend Splash Carpentry. They were responsive, attentive to my concerns, and showed me the error of my ways when I lacked vision about how to make the end result most appealing. I learned a lot in the process, and the end results was far beyond my expectations. They are a major reason for the start of a wonderful summer of 2013 around my house. I am cooking up other projects that I hope they'll take on for me in the near future.

It has not been done. He was going t get back to us in the spring and we never heard from him. I would liek to get a refund or a credit.

Their responsiveness was good and I met the owner for the initial walk-through and he was on-time and I was pleased with the work they performed. They were able to accomplish this task using the $299 Big Deal Purchase.

Detail and very unique design, and well coordinated with the floor work. Everything goes smooth. Highly recommend.

they came worked hard and were very neat.

The service worked out well. I thought it was pretty much the job I expected. They were really fast and they got the job done in about five hours. So that was good. They responded really quickly and I got an appointment fast. There were a few minor defects, but they were pretty minor. I had to pay extra because the room was bigger than they specified in the deal. It was $300 extra. I think the price was fine.

We contacted owner Adrian at Splash Carpentry via email and asked if he would be able to help us rebuild three steep stairs from our kitchen into our family room. The stairs had narrow treads and were difficult to use because there were no railings. Adrian responded promptly with a request for a photo, and once it was sent, he said he would be able to do the job. We set up a home visit for measurements and shortly after that he asked me to visit his website to select balusters and newel posts. He said he had a company he worked with that would match the stain on the stairs to the color of our wood floor in the family room. He provided a detailed quote, after I submitted my choices, for $1400, which I thought was quite reasonable considering he had to destroy the current stairs, rebuild, and stain the steps. I saw his work on his website and felt confident we were going to get quality work. Via email we set up work days. On day 1, a Monday, Adrian dropped off materials so he would be ready to go on day 2. On day 2, a Tuesday, demolition started in the morning and the rebuilding began. An assistant helped with the work. Both men apologized for the noise, but there was no need because that's what demolition is all about. We were welcomed to watch the progress and ask questions throughout the day. Both Adrian and his assistant were professional and friendly throughout the long day. When the stairs were completed, it was 12 hours later, and the only evidence that they had been there were the beautiful stairs remaining. They swept the garage clean (they used that has a staging area as it is an attached garage), and cleaned up the family room as well. On day 3, a Saturday, the stainer arrived. He was friendly and professional. We left him alone in our home as we had other obligations, and he took care of our house as he said he would. He sealed off the family room with plastic to minimize the smell, and left a spotless room. We returned at night to discover beautifully stained, and perfectly matched, stairs that no longer are a danger to use. Instead, we have a work of art in our family room. Our family room feels finished with these sturdy stairs. We are absolutely delighted with the work.

Extremely happy with the work. He replaced the wooden balusters with iron balusters. We purchased an Angie's deal for this project. Would definitely recommend them and would contact again for other jobs.
