Carpentry by R W Ward

Rick did a great job.

Excellent work

Rick did a wonderful job. He was very prompt, most professional and cheerful and the quality of all his work was superb. We would highly recommend Carpentry by Richard W Ward to all, especially our family and friends.

We are very happy with the quality of the work and the end result. There was some high ladder work involved, too. Rick is pleasant and straightforward to work with, clearly communicating via phone and email. We were very comfortable having him in and around our home. Will use Rick's services again in the future for sure.

Everything went really smooth and Rick was great to work with. There were a few changes and pieces that required coordination that Rick worked with me on. Everything was done as quoted and did not over run on cost. I had several other contractors in to work with Rick including a fireplace installer, plumbing, and electricians and Rick helped coordinate everything.I would highly recommend Rick for any projects. The project was completed within 4 weeks which was exactly what he said for time frame.

We are doing a minor kitchen renovation in advance of selling our house. The existing doorframes and trim were in poor shape. Rick removed those, and installed all new trim, and even exposed original trim that had been covered over. New baseboard and a plate rail were installed. A new Pex line run to our 2nd floor was enclosed/boxed in as well. Rick was great, again. We've worked with him several times and he does excellent work. The trim work especially is outstanding. We can't recommend him enough. Thanks Rick!!

Rich was great. We had estimates from other contractors, who insisted that they could only do the work for twice the price and had to replace all the siding on the sunroom. Rich gave us a straightforward estimate, was responsive to changes in the scope of work, and was willing to rearrange his schedule depending on when our septic contractor was done. Once Rich started the work, he kept me up to date on the extent of the repairs needed, and the progress he was making throughout the day. Working by himself, he finished the majority of the work in one week, and he was moving three big windows back and forth. Rich was also willing to make realistic recommendations on other work that needed to be done (like replacing the windows themselves). I have never worked with a contractor who was so responsive and efficient in his work. I will definitely be using him in the future, and feel comfortable calling him with small repairs as well as larger projects. Thanks Rich!

We've worked with Rick before when he reinforced our vintage garage and he did an outstanding job. This time we hired Rick to replace a number of windows. He came by several weeks prior to measure each window to order them. The transom and the storm window for our stained glass window went in very quickly. The basement windows required more attention. The replacement windows went in smoothly. The sills required cutting back the rotted wood and replacing it with mahogany. We are very happy with the results. Lastly he installed some aluminum siding where we had removed an old basement entrance against the side of the house. Above and beyond the excellent work Rick does, he's easy to get along with and a good guy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!

Although we decided not to move forward with our kitchen remodel at this time, we worked with Rick and an architect/designer over several months developing plans. We needed to scale the project back from our original hopes/plans, and he modified his initial estimate TWICE for us without ever making us feel guilty for trying to scale back and stick to our budget (which, in hindsight, was probably too tight to be realistic). He is the MOST responsive contractor I have ever worked with - whenever I had a question, he always responded within 24 hours, and estimates were always provided within a week. He was extremely professional, and if we were just a little bit more financially prepared for the project, I would have hired him without a doubt. If and when we go forward with the kitchen remodel, he will be the guy we call. I would definitely recommend Rick Ward to friends and family without hesitation.

We unconditionally recommend Rick. He was a pleasure to work with.

Very,very well. Rick's size up of the job was correct. A 55 year old tract ranch can provide its own quirks to deal with. The ceilings had a slight bow to them,this involved some very precise and delicate cuts to come out perfect,they did.Rick worked very well with the plumbers to co ordinate efficient scheduling.We could not have been happier with the finished product and the entire process. We recommend him highly for his very professional,precise work and will use his services in the future. The kitchen came out very,very well and we enjoy it every day thanks to Ricks advice,skill and ability.
