Description of Work: 1. Sliding door no longer opened, due to settling of house which pulled the door frame out of alignment. Jim was our carpenter, he fixed the door in two days without us needing to repaint anything. This included carefully removing all the interior molding, some exterior molding, adjusting the door frame, putting everything back together, and cleaning every speck of dust at the end of the day! |2. Replacement of rotting wood trim around sliding doors and windows with Azek trim. Jim's work was so meticulous that it now looks better than the original work. |3. Replacement of rotting framing behind stonework discovered when rotting trim around front door was removed. Jim (carpenter and mason) and Andy rolled back our granite slab front step, removed stones in our stone wall, replaced the rotted section of the frame, and put everything back in place, including replacing the stones in the stone wall. | |They worked in the freezing cold, in the snow, in the rain. They were meticulous in their work as well as cleanup, explained everything they did, and were truly professional. We are thrilled with the work that they did. You couldn't have sent two nicer gentlemen and we look forward to working with them again. |We could not have asked for two nicer, more careful gentlemen/craftsmen and we will definitely have them back for future projects.

We only had three weeks from the time we closed on our condo to moving date. We weren't going to be living in the state where the work was to be done so it was important to work with someone we could trust. Phil Cherkas met us at a model home and after we explained what we wanted done he mailed a proposal to us within a week. We lived in CT and the work was being done in our condo in MA. Phil was easily available by phone. He always returned phone calls promptly (even on weekends, evenings, and on a holiday). Since we couldn't be in the state where the work was going on we communicated by phone, text, pictures, and email. Phil Cherkas and the people who work for him were prompt, efficient, professional, very experienced, got the job done promptly, were willing to work on weekends because of our short window, and each of them were very nice people. There were touch up things to be done once we moved in and they were always prompt, cleaned up any mess that was made, and were very pleasant to have around.

They cleaned up all the mess from the construction, did some touch-up painting, AND were very pleasant to work with.
