Response from The Village Carpenter
I am always amazed at how quickly people are apt to criticize and complain. We are a small company and our Clients always appreciate our work. Missed cell calls are common in the Hereford Zone, as well as inclement extreme weather conditions, Family matters that interfere with work schedules, work order changes that delay schedules, inspectors whose overburdened schedules leave Contractors hanging for days on end, and an ongoing demand for quality work at a fair price. We offer free estimates. Our Company profile indicates that we are small and prefer to keep it that way as a quality control measure. I could spend ¾ of any given work day on just returning calls, going on estimates, pricing and drafting estimates and scheduling work. That would leave me ¼ of the day to get the work done… There are currently 38 contractors who do what I do in the same area, yet this Angie’s List Member chose to rail me for not returning her calls. Logically, if you don’t receive the courtesy of a return call, maybe there is a rational explanation as to “why,” and most people would surmise a contractor must have a pretty good reason for not returning a call that could provide work to support his Family. Had I charged this Member for an estimate and never provided the same, did poor work or over-charged her, I would have to answer for the same. I am apparently guilty of not returning a call for a free estimate. We appreciate Angie’s List Members. They pay Angie’s List for a neighborhood network of referrals and reviews, not the contractors or other providers. Most are of the quality and caliper of being well researched and realistic in their expectations. This member found us on a list and likely called a dozen others as well. I took this time for every contractor who may not have the time to offer a random stranger a free estimate which would include an exchange of telephone calls, driving to a potential clients’ location, spending an hour or more with them discussing the project, returning to a computer after calculating labor, materials, scheduling, et cetera, communicating again with the potential client who could then simply reply, “No thank you, we are going with someone else.” That is part and parcel of the cost of doing business. What is not a cost driver for a contractor is someone’s failed expectations for a free estimate. Only Angie’s List Members can withdraw their reviews. If this Member has a modicum of respect for this forum, this negative review should be removed or left for others to judge.

Response from The Village Carpenter
The benefit and privilege of doing work for Angie's List Members is that they have invested the research time and subscription monies into a network of responsible and educated consumers simply in search of what should naturally occur, quality work in exchange for a fair price. Mutual respect between a home owner and a contractor is not an unrealistic premise for a business relationship, it usually is the "norm." We also appreciate and respect this type of Angie’s List Member. (Member name removed) is the ideal of type of Client we had the privilege of providing services, as he is personable, intelligent and appreciates our work. Our Family lives and works in the Hereford Zone and we consider ourselves good neighbors. We participate in community activities, attend church, coordinate school events, donate to local charities and take the opinions of our Clients expressed on Angie’s List very seriously. Not to any surprise, we provide free estimates in the hope of earning the contract and that helps support our Family.

I have never heard of this potential Client, nor have I received a telephone message or written request for an estimate or work to be performed. I have contacted Angie's List and they assure me that the matter will be addressed and the mistaken report can be withdrawn by the author. I have doubled checked my cell phone voice mail and "missed calls" records for that day and there are NONE. I trust that this is a simple mistake that can be simply cleared up without further action.

I went through Angie's List and liked what people had said about him. It's a family operation. He does the work and he is a personable, likeable person. He inspires confidence and you feel like he is going to give you a reasonable price. I don't know if he would be the least expensive but I was confident with him and felt I didn't need to look further.
Description of Work: The Village Carpenter will be coming out on Thursday but he did give me a quote a couple of months ago. I had some projects that were not solidly defined. A lot of times you don't know what you have until you start the project. So he gave me a quote within a range. I have some concrete work to do as well as putting up a small fort lock wall at one end of my driveway where the bank comes down to the driveway. I'm also looking at some patio and deck work. He is coming out on Thursday to look at doing some sump pump repair. He is also scheduled to do some repair work on my roof.

Mark took some time during his family errand runs and stopped by to give an estimate on a Saturday. He saw that our situation of missing stairs (long story) was a safety hazard and promised to move us up on his schedule so he can get the work done sooner. His estimate was not the cheapest but he was so nice that we decided to use him anyway. His responsiveness could be erratic but it is understandable since it is just him and his wife in the business. He showed up as scheduled and got all the work done in 3 days, as promised. To save cost, we decided to paint the wall ourselves, so Mark patched it to a "just sand and paint" stage, which is good enough for us. We love to have working stairs again. I had to apply an extra layer of finish so the stain will not come off when I clean the stairs -- I called Mark about it and he kindly gave some advice. The carpet is nicely back in place. Mark cleaned up pretty well after he left too.
Description of Work: Patch dry wall and fix its framing on one side of the basement that another contractor ripped out. Add insulation in the wall. Build stairs from upper level to lower level in split level home (about 7 steps). Patch concrete wall behind the stairs. Re-tack carpeting around the stairs.

Response from The Village Carpenter
At any given point, potential Client’s should also have to be held accountable for a reasonable level of responsibility. Here is a situation where I spent a generous amount of time scheduling an appointment, driving to a residence, discussing several projects with the homeowners and going back to my office and drafting a detailed estimate. We don’t charge for estimates. I completed the estimate and mailed the same within two days. We don’t follow up with telephone calls and letters after an estimate, our philosophy is to let potential Client’s review the estimate and make an informed decision among all of the other estimates they requested and contact us if they have an interest. For whatever reason, this couple did not receive their estimate by regular mail. We did not exchange emails. Rather than simply calling me and saying that had not received their estimate, they chose to take the time to write a negative review on Angie’s List. WHY DIDN’T THEY SIMPLY MAKE A CALL OR USE MY EMAIL PRINTED ON MY CARD? They would have no idea if something had happened which prevented my providing an estimate, such as failed delivery by the post office, administrative problems, computer issues, personnel or personal matters, et cetera. Instead they chose to assume that I like spending a few hours ay day driving to an estimate, walking through an estimate with potential Clients, driving back to my office and drafting an estimate and then what - decide I don’t like working and providing for my Family? We are in the business of providing quality services for our Clients. We do not charge for estimates. If we had charged for an estimate (many Contractors do charge) and this couple did not receive it timely, they would have called immediately. Here, the couple presumptively determines that they did not receive an estimate, therefore none was completely and then impetuously take the time and effort to “warn” others that I may waste my own time if solicited for an estimate. Seriously? Angie’s List Members are of a stature and quality of awareness with the aforethought to research and make informed decisions. That level of aforethought also bears a mutual of level of responsibility. If you call and ask for a Contractor to take the time and effort to discuss and prepare an estimate and one is not timely received, simply take the same brief moment to call and inform them it was not received.

He did a good job and I give him all A's. It was expensive; he did more than just install the dishwasher. He had to redo the cabinet space, making a new space in the cabinet to house the dishwasher. He also had to create new drainage.

Mr. Letersky completed the job efficiently and professionally. He consulted regularly during the repair, and was a pleasure to have in our home. I recommend Mary Letersky without reservation.
Description of Work: The Village Carpenter is Mark Letersky. After calling four contractors to get estimates on repairing a rotting bathroom floor, only two of the four who promised to offer estimates showed. Only one of those two, The Village Carpenter, ever offered an estimate covering a best and worse case scenario. The estimate was reasonable, I accepted, and he arrived on the date promised. . The job required removing the toilet and taking taking up some of the floor tiles to access the water damage. He replaced a relatively small section of plywood around the leaking toilet, reset some tiles, and reinstalled the toilet. While he was working on this job, I also asked him to replace the tiles in the shower stall.

We had initial problems connecting, but they were diligent about following up. Once we got the estimate, we selected theVillage Carpenter from 3other vendors. Once we sent our deposit, we received a confirmation and start date in the mail. He arrived as promised, did everything we asked, was very neat and clean and completed theroject on time. We would strongly recommend The Village Caroenter for any carpentry or handyman services.
Description of Work: The Village Carpenter replaced a number of Porch columns, a stairwell to back yard, and redid and painted the porch ceiling. He came on time, was very neat and clean and did an excellent job. We would strongly recommend him and his work to anyone needing carpentry and handyman services.

We were extremely pleased with Mark's work and demeanor. He seemed very excited to work on this project and was very detailed in his explanation of the process. He was polite, professional and punctual and very knowledgable. We would happily work with him again in the future.
Description of Work: Our roof leaked during hurricane Irene and the heavy rains that followed. The water leaked through the roof and plaster ceiling and was dripping into our bedroom. Once we had the roof repaired, we contacted Mark to come look at the ceiling to see how best to repair it. It was badly stained and the plaster was definitely damaged. He provided a plan of action and an estimate - offering to go into our small attic crawl space to test the humidity before making any repairs. Luckily, the attic was dry and he was able to move ahead with the plaster repair and painting. We were able to maintain the look of the original ceiling - very high level of quality.

Response from The Village Carpenter
This project presented a reoccurring theme in renovation projects. That theme is simply "how" to maintain the integrity of the original architectural design and honor the bettina, age and current beauty of the home. Melding the old and the new has become an art. Not all new products and techniques are aesthetically pleasing to the aged beauty and character lines of an older residence. Often, the answer is old school techniques in combination with new product lines. Modernization of a single aspect of an older home has to blend well, so as not to look odd or “added on.” Everyone has seen examples of this type of work and immediately thought it could have been done better differently. This project was a ceiling collapse due to water damage. The roof had been repaired and the Client had been given alternatives of a quick new dry wall, taped and painted. She wasn’t comfortable with this approach and gave us a call. I was able to explain the process, limit the invasiveness of an admirably dusty project and complete the same to her satisfaction. I look forward to the “WOW” factor when a Client sees the completed project. We were able to timely schedule the project, keep the project on time, complete as promised and below the original estimate guidelines. I live for this type of project. Let the “big” Contractors focus on the “wham – bam” approach, I’ll take, “WOW” any day of the week (except perhaps Sundays, I can’t miss our Family Sunday dinners).

I have looked a long time to get someone to this job. People were either not really interested in doing the job or were way overboard on the price or the type of door. I just wanted a solid wood door with glass panes. Mark picked out just what I I was looking for and cut the door down to size. He did caulking and primed the front of the door. I really did not know what to expect because it was a difficult area. I was really pleased with the job that Mark did and the door fits nicely.
Description of Work: I had an old door replaced on the potting shed of the back of my house. The door had to be cut down and fitted to the area.

Response from The Village Carpenter
I received a call from this customer about replacing an older door for her potting shed. She noted that any new door would have to be custom fitted for the doorway. She had been through a tough lot of estimators for her project and entertained pricing up around the $2,500 mark. I couldn’t imagine the project merited such high pricing, but what piqued my interest was her description of her home. I came over on a rainy and basically blustery day. The customer and her home have a warming charm that justified taking the time for an estimate. Her potting shed actually looks part and parcel of the 1920’s residence. It could easily be mistaken as an entry to the back of the home if not for the fact that it is several feet above ground level on a grade. The door in place was original and stuck in location. Even opening the door as it stood threatened it structurally. I knew of a solid wood exterior door product line that would work well and was able to offer her a fair price. The project was timely scheduled, completed without a glitch and she was very pleased. The new door was similar in design to the original 1920’s décor and the new and old melded well. She is an exemplar Angie’s List member / Client. She is well versed in the process, well researched and savvy of the needs for renovating her home. Given the time and physical ability, she could easily tend to the structural needs of her home herself. Unfortunately for her renovation plans, she dedicates her time and energy towards caring for her Family. It was an absolute pleasure meeting her and offering her a little old school craftsmanship to a deserving home.

I was called for a bid for a residential access ramp, only to discover that the Resident was basically unable to leave her home without assistance. We dropped all of our ongoing work and scheduled her right away. We were able to design a ramp by the ADA Guidelines and have it completed before the weekend. This was a rewarding endeavor and is was a pleasure to work on their home. In addition, a hurricane was looming in the area and we were able to clear the roof of accumulated debris, clear the gutter system and better prepare their home for the onset of tough weather. Initially as a Contractor, you don't actually "choose" your Clients. First, they call you and after the bidding process, they decide who will do the work. What makes Angie's List unique is that a Contractor has a better sense of potential Clients as well. I have to consider, "Who subscribes to a service for opinions about home repairs?" The answer is simple. Homeowners have concerns. People are inviting Contractors to their home for a particular project or repairs. They are concerned about the quality of work, fair pricing and need to establish a trust factor rapport in a short period of time. This can be an unsettling process. Nonetheless, Angie's List has become a trusted forum for BOTH Homeowners and Contractors alike. I know that if I receive a call from an Angie's List Member, I can have confidence in that potential Client being serious about the work they want / need done, they are concerned enough to utilize Angie's List reviews to instill a base of confidence for the potential project, and that many of the natural anxieties are dispelled before I even arrive to place a bid. I take pride in my work and I try to maintain a level of professionalism at a reasonable price. I make every effort to accommodate a Client's requests and complete the work in a timely and skilled workmanlike manner. I consider all of our Client's my Neighbors. Working on an Angie's List job means that one of my Neighbors needs a job done and my standing in the community will be reflected in my work.

Working for the Member's Family on their estate is both a privilege and an honor. The entire property is a tranquil workplace. The Family is cordial, friendly and appreciative of our work. I always get a hardy handshake and friendly “hello” if I am repairing work working from 1823, roofing, windows, doors, fencing, you name it. I’ve done their work in every extreme weather condition year round in the rain, heat, snow, cold, et cetera, and I hope I will always be called for their repairs.

He gave us an estimate even though the work was going to be difficult, and he stuck to that price. He has been great to work with and we have since given him a long list of other projects to complete for us. He is going to retile a bathroom, tile a fireplace, and install cabinetry for us. As well as other small projects.

I appreciated the opportunity to tackle the Members unique roofing dilemma. I can only imagine what the bigger roofing companies would have gouged them to think out a tricky repair. Their home deserves quality repair work and they were a delight to meet and work on their project. I look forward to rescheduling them for the remainder of their repairs and I know I will eventually win over that dog!

Everything went extremely well. I feel he can and will do absolutely anything at all and do it well! Because of his great work ethic and the quality of his work I had him come back several times to do additional work around the house. He says no job is too small. His work includes carpentry projects...rough and finishing....great at to detail; masonry; electric; plumbing;drywall;painting;landscaping; hauling; cleaning storage space and cleaning up; interior and exterior work...you name it. Charges by the hour or the job. I paid him by the hour which worked out best for me. I highly recommend him...he is great!
Description of Work: Removed and replaced existing shower doing all of the work including demolition, building a new wall, installation of base and walls, etc. and plumbing & picking up supplies and cleaning up. He also installed a shower door and a vanity and medicine cabinet & before he was finished he did various repairs such as plastering the ceiling and replacing baseboards. He continued to work throughout the house doing many different repairs and projects and did them all beautifully. I was extremely satisfied with all of his work...reliable, dependable, honest and really pays attention to details! By the time he finished I had a whole new fantastic bathroom.

Absolutely the best experience possible! It did take him a few days to get back to me after I left him a message but he was worth waiting for. He did beautiful work through out our home everything from remodeling the kitchen to refinishing floors to and including repairing a wobbly railing. We have an old house and his attention to detail was amazing. He showed up when he said he would, worked very well... quietly.... cleaned up so well at the end of each day you wouldn't know he was here. In addition to carpentry work we had him do many other things. He was capable of doing everything we asked him to do. Installed new appliances, refinished floors, plumbing and electric , remodeled bathroom and kitchen...I hated to see him leave. I highly recommend him to everyone
Description of Work: Remodeled entire kitchen including plumbing, electric, refinishing floors ( removed old linoleum and underlayment, sanded original flooring and stained...like an artist.... the old flooring and sealed it with a few coats of polyurethane) installing cabinets and new appliances...removed and hauled away old appliances and cabinets and shopped for , picked up needed supplies . Charged by the hour and completed the work in a timely fashion. He also charges by the job in I had preferred but I kept adding things on so by the hour worked really well for me.
