As a female who was feeling very nervous about taking on this kind of a project, James made it very easy. It did take a while from the time we signed the commitment to the start of the project, but I was aware of that. James kept me posted with an earlier start date (was able to begin a week earlier than planned) and even finished earlier than expected. Throughout the process, he worked through lunch, never noticed him taking breaks and stayed late as needed to completed the tasks for that day. I was very surprised at how they did their best to clean up after themselves each day, even with a little mess in the basement, just beneath the one bathroom. James not only listened to me with what my wishes were, but he remained patient in explaining things to me. My project did go over budget, but that was on me with the materials I chose. Having been through previous DIY projects in the past, I was completely satisfied with James' attention to detail, as he seemed to take great pride in his work. Finally, I had one minor issue with a running toilet and James was very prompt not only with getting back to me, but coming back to fix it.
Description of Work: I had two bathrooms remodeled.

As always, James' workmanship was outstanding. This work is indicative of his broad range of skills. One day he was mixing mortar to install glass blocks in place of my original basement windows and the next day he was up on my garage roof installing a ridge vent.

I've hired James for several projects in the past and each time he has exceeded my expectations. And this time, no surprise, he exceeded my expectations again. Not only is my new door beautiful and expertly installed, but I have my new door much earlier than I originally planned. My plan was to purchase the door on my own which was going to take a month to receive. James worked with his supplier and I had a door the next day. The new door is also a higher quality door than the one I was going to purchase.

Very professional and great work. Finished ahead of time. I told him to go ahead and pick out the tile for the floor since I was dealing with other serious issues and he picked out the perfect tile. Price was very less than I anticipated it would be. Cleaned up completely every day. Highly recommended!

Results were beautiful and the project was completed without delay. The end result exceeded my expectations.
Description of Work: Hire this crew! They were amazing. Both punctual and professional, and their craftsmanship was outstanding. I couldn't be happier with my bathroom remodel.
Everything went smoothly. James and his assistant arrived promptly, worked steadily, and cleaned up after each day. James was attentive to detail, and advised me on decisions that made my ideas turn out even better. He dealt with problems, that always manage to show up in a remodel, easily and expertly. The results were amazing. I love my new bath. I'm looking forward to my next projects with this company in my home. James is my "go to guy" for home improvement!
Description of Work: It was a complete bathroom remodel from the studs. New ceiling, walls, flooring, cabinet, tub, and toilet. The whole thing.

We have continued to appreciate James's candid and honest assessments of various re-modeling options we've considered, their costs, and their relative benefits in both the short and long term. He appears organized, methodical, and doesn't seem to make promises he can't keep (I think he also appreciates the same from his customers). He appears to exercise general care in choosing people to work for him and has spent a good deal of time on-site for each of our projects. It's likely rare that his work has been questioned. He may not be your lowest bid, but he's a solid one.

Thank you! We try to bring the best to every job we do. I look forward to helping you out now and in the future.
The company is aptly named, as they did truly superior work. Mr. Scherzer was accurate with the estimate and performed the work very quickly and with precision. The job, which was expanding and remodeling a powder room, took less than six work days. From tearout to finish work all was well done and daily cleanup was outstanding. We had tile installation, conversion to a pocket door, expansion of the powder room and an adjacent closet, granite installation and installation of new fixtures. They also moved plumbing lines that were installed in a concrete slab, cutting the slab and refilling the trench with concrete. The only work subcontracted was the manufacture and install of the granite. The three men were courteous, helpful and provided guidance when we weren't exactly sure how to proceed in the best way. I would highly recommend Superior Carpentry. They are very busy, however, and do not subcontract so plan to book several months in advance and be prepared to put down about half when booking the job.

Not so good, never did anything for me. Quoted the job, I thought it was a little high. Then the job never happened because he told me he was booked up until late October and I could not wait that long. Right at the gate I would say a B but then it fizzled out and I had to find someone else so a D. At least he was honest about being booked up until October. I thought the price was high but then I looked at the website and if his work is 3/4 as good as it shows then we would be ok.
Description of Work: I got a quote to resurface my deck and a fence at the end of the deck to be replaced with a vinyl fence.

I was given a date when work would begin and an arrival time. Owner, James Scherzer arrived with two other men, on time and commenced work. They had to remove one layer of subfloor and old baseboards. Walls also needed some prep prior to new installation. Men agreed to move several large pieces of furniture out to my garage. Top subfloor and baseboards removed first day. Work continued for the next two and a half days, equipment set up outside, cutting hardwood boards and then installation began. Men arrived on time equipment put away at day's end and space left tidy. New baseboards installed, plus baseshoe, and then caulked. Work completed on 4th day as estimated. I found them to be very professional, obviously knew what they were doing and were good at it. I'm very pleased with my new floor. Owner returned several days later to move the two large pieces of furniture to room. I would definitely hire this business again and am pleased with the overall workmanship.
Description of Work: Installed new hardwood floor, baseboards, baseshoe. Also stained hardwood and applied two coats of polyurethane.
