I asked Peter for a quote, he spouted off a quote that was entirely outrageous for what I was asking. I then asked him to drop by and take a look to give me an estimate. He did not get back to me even after prodding. He may well be the best carpenter on the planet, but if you can't answer the phone and follow up it's time to hire a secretary.

Peter does quality work which is the most important factor for me. He is easy to work with and willing to make changes. The project took a bit longer than expected partially due to a few electrical changes I made. The final quote was a bit higher than expected.

Peter installed subway tiles and hung some shelves in my new kitchen. His finishing touches were perfect! He provided a written quote, was flexible in accommodating my needs, and was punctual and tidy in his work. I fully trusted him in my house, and look forward to working with him again. Thanks Peter!

Peter never returned my call. Nor did three other contractors I called from Angie's List. How hard is it to make a 2 minute call?? "Hi, I got your message. Unfortunately, I am booked solid. Thank you for considering me and I hope perhaps we can work together in a future time." What is it about contractors that they can act with impunity to common courtesy, where other professionals would be skewed for behaving in a similar manner?

He was very friendly and personable. It was a very small job, so it is hard to know how a larger job would go, but he was fair, showed up when he said he would, and performed the task adequately.

Peter Dunphy had great quotes. I just happened to use somebody that was a little bit cheaper. He was great in responding. He was really good. He took his time. He did a lot of measuring. He explained to me what it would cover and what he would do like taking away the debris.

Sheer perfection. Peter made the replacement piece for my futon, came over with his tools, made the repair and cleaned up.
Description of Work: Peter is a friend and when my futon broke, he made several copies of the wooden piece that failed, and installed one for me, leaving the others for future use. My compensation for him was baked goods, since I knew he would not take any money from me.

The work was done over a couple of days in late August/early September. Everything turned out very well, and my husband and I were both really impressed with the quality of the work. The new drop ceiling looks great, and the new drywall is seamless. I'm also really happy with the new shelves in the laundry room. The project cost came out exactly as estimated. Peter and the colleague who worked with him on the job were both very professional and seemed very knowledgeable. Better yet, they were really nice to work with and easygoing. I will definitely recommend Peter's work to friends, and will call him again the next time a project comes up.
Description of Work: Replaced drywall in part of basement, installed a new drop ceiling in laundry room, re-installed trim in laundry room, installed a dryer vent outlet, built shelves in laundry room.

He was super easy to schedule with, very friendly and professional. He replaced the old drywall with water-resistant green board. The work was flawless. Cleaned up well, all in all a great experience. Will definitely call for future needs.

He scheduled the appt at a convenient time, showed up on time and with a bit of adjustments raised the bottom of a cabinet above the refrigerator. Worked quickly, made little mess and the cabinet looks great. He is a great worker and does excellent quality work.
Description of Work: Peter amended a cabinet door to accommodate a taller fridge clearance in my kitchen. He took the cabinet apart, removed and replaced the hinges and shaved the doors to fit the new opening.

We had unfinished work from when we moved into our house. Peter took on all projects in a timely and professional way: floorboards, shower grouting, deck railing/seating, trim, window installation, etc. He did an absolutely fabulous job in the concept, the execution and the clean-up.

My initial request was to build a wall and a closet to make a new room on the first floor. I gave Peter a general idea of what I wanted and he gave me some great ideas on some nice improvements and details to my job. The result was perfect! I am very happy with the results. While he was working on the wall, I realized I also needed windows and a garage side door replaced. He was very willing to take on these extra tasks and performed them perfectly. I will definately have him help me with other projects in the near future.
Description of Work: A new wall was built with a closet to make a new room on the first floor. Also had 8 replacement windows installed and an outside door frame replaced.
