It went well. They were easy to work with and good-natured throughout. They had good suggestions about different ways to approach the problem, and never tried to impose any work on us that we didn't want done. They worked quickly, but carefully, and we are quite happy with the finished job.
Description of Work: They replaced and leveled the concrete on part of our garage floor and installed a new side door to the garage, which required repairing the framework before installing a new door. They bought the door for us at Home Depot and we reimbursed them. They also did a quick fix on a loose fence and a rickety back porch.

Splash Carpentry was very pleasant towork with. He was patient and quick to respond. We initially hired him thinking we needed to replace our wooden railings that were damaged. He was very honest and said he could repair them and offered to do other services to fill up the 8 hour Angie's List Big Deal we had purchased. We wanted to hire him to build a wnidow seat but our window wouldn't allow that without a great deal of work. So, instead, he had "Uncle George" come out and help with what we needed. He was friendly, thorough and great to work with. Splash Carpentry went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend then and plan to use them for future carpentry jobs.

The finished is beautiful. Most of the issues had to do with fixing things that were my fault. All of them were fixed in ways that make it look very nice. I bought a prehung door. Once the old door was removed, we found the frame was the wrong size. He made a shim that fit in really nicely and nobody will ever see it. I cut the pieces for the closet door frame and stained them. I was off by a bit and he was able to trim it down to fit perfectly. One of the issues was that there is a curve and shoe molding had to be curved. I had soaked and bent it but it was not close enough. He was able to piece in the shoe so that it looks very nice and nobody will ever know unless they are removing it. The only issue we had was in scheduling. I think there was some miscommunication from both sides. But in the end it all worked out well.
Description of Work: Remove and install door frame and door, remove and replace frame and bifold closet doors, install shoe and trim molding finished the thresholds that I had started making.

We used Splash to do thin crown molding, baseboard trim, and casing around sliding glass doors in our living room, dining room and foyer. They did an amazing job!! We had been talking about doing this project forever, and over the years had two other contractors come in to give us estimates. They other contractors made it seem like it would be very difficult because the building is older and not everything is perfectly level. One even talked about moving all of our air vents, etc. Sorin and his team came in for the estimate and completely understood what we wanted and made it seem like it was no big deal. They did the project over two days, and it was completely painless. We left them a key with our doorman and started at 9:00 am and finished at 5:00. It looks great!! They even managed to get the trim over our sliding glass doors, which they weren't sure of because of the aluminum frame. They even hung a hook for us that we needed put up in the kitchen. Sorin was a pleasure to work with, and his team did a great job. I have no idea how many guys he brought with, but he assured us he would bring as many as he needed to get the job done in two days. We are already thinking of other projects that we could use them for. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, and am very happy to have found a resource like Splash.

I initially want to have the pre-finished floor. After talking with Adrian and Matt, they suggest me to use the better and select grade 3" red oak unfinished and stain the color we like. They delivery the floor, remove carpet, install, stain, and vanish 3 coats of waterbased. There are a lot of work, and they move very fast. Right now my floor is beatiful and just what we want. Much better than our original plan without a big bump of the budget. Thank you splash and M&N flooring. Here is some update after one year usage, in fact, the floor was installed in early June, and everything is fine, but going into the late July and August/September, the big area (two room connected together) shows the ripple signs, it seems that installation is too tight cannot handle the expansion. Matt came back to visit me in sep, 2013 and told me that after the floor go through a whole year (cycle through?), everything would be ok. During the winter, there are gaps shown in between the planks. But going into July and August 2014, the ripple signs appears again like last year. My impression is that they can install my small area very good and solid, for big areas, the initial installation in early June is perfect but shows some installation issues in the long run.
Description of Work: Mattew and his team installed 1900 sqft unfinished floor and provide on site stain, 3 coats of vanish in two stories. Also refinished hardwood fllor in the office.

We have a very tight schedule and open to the professional recommendation. Adrian definitely meets my requirements. He is very considerate to adjust the priority to meet my schedule, gave me a lot of recommendation, I think I took all his suggestion on all the wood work detail. I also visited his small workshop and impressed by the wood work he did. Beyond complete what he commits, I like to work with him and his team because he always has the right attitude. Most of the time, he reply my email in couple minutes so that I wonder if he is working on my project:) Overall, it is a very positive experience working with him. And stair work is on the way.

we advised the client to do complete all the construction projects before moving in. That saved a lot of time, money and trouble. The carpet was removed fast and disposed in our dumpster, the hardwood floor was delivered the day we were hired, all the installation and sanding was done in perfect condition in an empty house, the trim work was also an easy task because no furniture was in our way. A perfect situation for both the client and the contractor.

This is the second project that Splash Carpentry has done for us. The first was rebuilding a railing on a staircase. We live in a vintage home that was built beautifully by skilled craftsman. Any work that we do in our home we expect to be done to this high standard. Or front vestibule looked tired and not in keeping with the elegance of the home. We brought Adrian in to intall custom wainscotting. He did a beautiful job. All the measurements were taken on site and the paneling was cut and built on site. Adrian was responsive to our questions and our tweaking of the design. He was timely and hard working as usual. We plan to use him again for additional projects because of his lovely demeanor, work ethic and craftsmanship. He is quite a find!

We purchased a deal from Angie's list for the balusters and contacted Adrian on a Monday. He got back to me very quickly and we scheduled the install for Friday. His carpenter was on time and everything was cleaned up when he left. The staircase looks amazing! We are very happy with the work and would definitely contact this company again for work on our home.

It was a slow start, the first person they sent out to do an estimate was kind but took almost 2 weeks to send back an estimate. When I contacted the main office, they told me they would send out another estimator. Then the original guy sent me a quote, but the main office told me that guy was no longer employed by them. Fortunately, the 2nd guy, was prompt and got the project moving quicker and what was originally a cheaper estimate than the 1st. We had some rough spots setting up an installation date since I don't text, but once we established communication via email they came out and in one day did all the work. They cleaned up very well and did a great job. The ladder works well and the floor in our attic is stable and covers more ground than I expected. The price of the job was boosted $200 when they realized they had to move more electrical pipes/ducts than expected. Seemed reasonable. Overall a solid performance once we got past some mild setbacks.
Description of Work: Provider offered an Angie's list deal to install a floor in an unfinished attic. We wanted to do this to provide better access to our upper level furnance. In addition, we asked them to install a new attic hatch and ladder.

very kind and patient customer, our estimator sent the estimate to a wrong email address and nobody realized the customer did not receive anything. It's our job to make sure that the client is informed and everything goes well. We performed well after this incident. It is very difficult to build and maintain an account like ours on Angie's List, therefor guys like our former estimator are not around anymore.

Great service and price. We had crown molding installed after a DIY install went bad. Also had shoe molding installed around the hallway and kitchen. From start to finish it probably took about an two hours. This included covering the entire kitchen in plastic. They made sure to move or protect everything which was nice to see. Clean up was great too. We already had the molding and trim. So we only paid about $150 for JUST an install. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Overall the experience went very well. I had purchased an Angie's List deal at the beginning of the year. Before purchasing though I reached out to Splash to see if they would be able to do the work for me. I received an almost immediate reply asking for some photos of the space and ideas of what I was looking for, which I sent via email and got a response back that they would be able to do the project for me. The morning of the build, Oliver arrived promptly, I gave him an overview of what I was looking for and he took it from there. He did an exceptional job on the shelves and built them better than I had originally envisioned. The space was returned to me in the same manner in which I gave it to him, he cleaned up after himself there was no sawdust anywhere and he neatly stacked the leftover materials for me to deal with. I am very satisfied with the work that was completed and will definitely use Splash Carpentry when the need arises.

We always wanted to have something to remember our heritage.My wife and I decided to order something special for our home, something that our children will be proud of. After long discussions we were set on buying a portrait of the most prominent leader from Transylvania, Vlad the Impaler. This would be specific of our heritage and an example for our kids. Now, the decision was an easy task for us, the difficult part was to come! Where in the world would we be able to find the right craftsman to create such an image? We wanted to be perfect, we wanted to be detailed and to represent exactly Vlad the Impaler. We were not very enthusiastic anymore, because we didn't know if such a person could execute what we're asking for. We searched all sites possible and we found some artists who they promised to execute the portrait but they were not so sure about it. Luckily we knew this carpenter from years back when we hired him to finish our floor and at that time he told us about his dream of creating sculptures. We were not sure that he will be of any help but we tried. And for our surprise, he was available to show us his progress in sculpture dream. He invited us to his shop and display some of the recent works. I was very impressed with his work, and we hired him for the job! It was one of the best decisions that I ever made! We are very happy with the sculpture portrait and the professionalism that he executed his work. Thank you Adrian!
Description of Work: Adrian invited us to see his work at the wood shop in Skokie. After we saw the examples that he arranged for display we hired him to execute the portrait of Vlad the Impaler for the sum of $1,200. Due to the size and the artistic work that needed to be done he estimated that the sculpture will be completed in 4 days. Every time he completed a step in the process he sent us picture with the sculpture. He was prompt and he wanted us to be able to participate in the making of the sculpture with pictures, which helped us to make decisions along the way if it was necessary. In the forth day we were called to the shop to see the finite product. We were pleasantly impressed with the quality and finish of the sculpture. We will hire him again!

Adrian is a friendly, honest and hard working craftsman. He arrived on time to give the estimate and was easy to talk to. He inspected my back stair railing which I knew was dangerously shaky and poorly built, and we reached a mutual understanding that they needed to be removed and completely rebuilt. Adrian suggested a style of baluster as well as newel post that would match my new kitchen cabinetry. (These were items that he would have to build in his shop.) I knew that this project was not a 4 hour job. We scheduled the work and he arrived the day before the work was to begin to drop off supplies such as my newly crafted newel posts and balusters. He arrived early and worked steadily for 2 days to complete the project. Excellent job.

Stacey is a wonderful client. I had the chance to bid on the stair project while the kitchen cabinets were in process to be installed. I realized i can manufacture box newel posts to match the kitchen cabinets style and after i was done, it's hard to believe that the kitchen and the stairs were completed by two different companies. She is very happy and we are preparing for the next project : wainscoting.

I am very pleased with Splash. they were quick to respond, quick to come out and easy to get an appointment on my preferred dates. I am happy with each and every thing I had them do, and I will have them back in the future for more work. There was an aesthetic issue with the bookcases they made, so they took them back, made the changes I wanted at no extra cost and brought them back - people are surprised they aren't original to the house, they look like they've always been here, and they took the old trim and put it on the front so it matches seamlessly. A++++ Their rates were fair and still better than competitors. AND - they referred me to the BEST painters, ever! They work with quality people! I am VERY happy with Splash, they helped a lot with my recent remodel of a vintage 1929 house!

First day removal of old staircase, sanding, installation of posts and bannisters. Then initial staining. Second day touch up staining, varnish, and baluster install. All in all a professional and competent company doing what they said they would do.
