I take pride in my work, and enjoy creative projects we develop and work on from start to finish. I can perform in-house load and design work surpassing all required building codes, or engage your architect and decorator on larger projects. From any stock lumber I can fabricate door frames and side lights for unique openings with equal margins plumbed, centered, and leveled.

On time...under budget....sheetrock going in today. Bob did NOT do this although he could if asked. Great job!
Description of Work: Bob Forkish, the owner and operator of Wood Peace is as much an artisan as a craftsman. He is VERY particular about his work and that is a significant plus for finish and fit. With the artisan side of him comes a little less detail in time and materials but the final product is so very offsetting that one only needs to pay a bit of attention "with him" on these items. We started the project with a empty upstairs, stubbed in for water and sewer....all else needed to be accomplished. We did the project by accomplishing most all of the rough framing, plumbing, mechanical and electrical with a great deal of expertise coming from Bob. We have received initial inspections and have passed with flying colors. I find Bob to be personable, very capable and helpful...with ideas and changes as needed. He is a big person, with a solid work ethic and a very big heart. Don't take advantage! Recommend him without equivocation or reservation! Dennis Koehler

We only received a quote. Wood Peace did not do the work for us.
Description of Work: Wood Peace came and gave us a quote for installing bookcases, building some cabinets and for doing additional detail woodwork in our home. He was very polite and professional. He demonstrated a good knowledge of the kind of work we were interested in having done and made some nice suggestions. Ultimately, we went with the contractor who originally built the house and who could do all of the work we wanted done (carpet installation and interior painting.) The quote from Wood Peace was higher than some of the other quotes but we would have considered using them if we had done just the woodworking part of the project. It was our feeling that he would have done an excellent job.

We had a general idea of what we wanted and Bob took our ideas and created one gorgeous enclosure. On the exterior, he matched the siding exactly to our existing structure. He suggested four windows that matched beautifully. I hadn't thought about an exterior light and Bob suggested one above the door that comes on from dusk to dawn. On the interior, he insulated the wall and installed sheetrock, sealing everything so that I can use the space year round. Since he had to run electrical conduit for the garage opener, he suggested additional outlets which is a real plus. Below the windows he created a shelf the width of the wall and above the door he created another shelf for additional storage. The completed project looks so much better than what I had envisioned. The work looks so professional and all the little extras really add to it. I can't say enough about how satisfied I am with Bob's work. I would definitely recommend Bob for any remodeling project. He goes the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied.
Description of Work: We had an open garage that we wanted enclosed with a garage door, entrance door, and windows overhead. Bob Forkish designed, fabricated and installed a new wall along with four windows and an entrance door. The work included framing, trim work, sealing, painting, electrical connections, sheetrock and insulation.

In short, Bob had to come in and fix a poor job another contractor did on a basement wall, He made very creative suggestions that I am happy we went with. Included was building a few basement walls using 2x6 rather than 2x4 to make sure the above floor joists had appropriate support when 2x4's would not work. Additionally he built a cabinet quality bookshelf that is like a piece of furnature. Bob also had to cut a whole out of a brick wall which he did very effectively with no mess. Bob was exceptional in his willingness to work within unusual constraints and I would recommend him strongly to others. He worked very quickly and his work exceeded my expectations. He also stands behind his work.
Description of Work: Bob Forkish (Wood Peace) did a number of jobs for me that required creativity and know how that I was having problems finding someone to do. Ultimately he replaced several basement walls and the associated doors and built a very nice bookshelf from scratch that looks like furnature. During this process he had to cut through a portion brick wall which he did without delay.

Having worked in remodeling years ago it wasn't long after meeting Bob for the estimate that I knew he had the skills and experience for this job. This was a bearing wall that required removal of siding, installation of structural headers, relocation of a/c lines & electrical as well as relocation of water lines. Besides the "rough" carpentry there was also all of the finish carpentry associated with the interior windows, wall and baseboard trim. Bob's knowledge and work is superb and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Bob never left without cleaning up the workspace and making every attempt to make us comfortable throughout the project. My wife and I are retired so we were home throughout most of the project and Bob's personality was such that we looked forward to seeing him each day. I highly recommend this contractor's work and professionalism.
Description of Work: Installed two picture windows on both sides of living room fireplace.

Bob came to give me an estimate, and spent a good deal of time suggesting ways he could do the work so as to accomplish my objectives. I was impressed with his ideas and satisfied with his very reasonable estimate, so I signed a contract covering the materials and all of the work to be done. Bob is highly experienced in all remodeling tasks. He brought lots of enthusiasm to the project, making all sorts of useful suggestions concerning the design, size, and location of cabinets and fixtures and advising me on which materials would suit me best. I found most of his suggestions excellent and I accepted them. I had some definite ideas, though, and we sometimes disagreed (in which cases he willingly did as I wished). Overall, I am thoroughly delighted with my new bathroom and very impressed by Bob's skilled and thoughtful remodeling work! Bob was eager to do every part of the project very well, and he succeeded. Bob had estimated that the job would take three weeks but it ended up requiring six. I eventually became somewhat tired of being without a full bath for that long and I was bothered occasionally when Bob left some trash in a room or on the deck. However, I always had similar irritations in past remodeling jobs in a different house, and I believe that Bob worked steadily and generally did a good job of cleaning up the work spaces he used. I also appreciate that Bob kept to our original contract despite needing to spend several additional weeks to complete the project. I highly recommend Bob Forkish to anyone who wants a remodeling job done, especially if he or she would appreciate Bob's many enthusiastic ideas and suggestions. I will certainly call him if I have a remodeling project in the future.
Description of Work: Bob Forkish completely remodeled the full bath in my (old) house. Since I wanted to replace the bathtub with a shower and wanted the new fixtures installed in new locations, he removed all of the fixtures, tore out the walls down to the studs, and the floor down to the joists. Bob completely rerouted the plumbing from the basement and the electricity from the attic. He installed a new subfloor and a vinyl floor and new walls and a new shower. He also installed a new ceiling below the original one. Bob custom-built three large cabinets and installed new plumbing and electrical fixtures and tiled the shower and painted the room. All of this was done within the very confined space of the original bathroom. Bob also encountered some structural problems which he promptly repaired. Throughout the project he did all of the work himself except for the installation of the countertop.

It went well. Bob does everything himself, so it takes a little longer but there is no passing of the buck. All the plumbing and electrical and everything else was well taken care of. He is very competent at what he does and his ideas added a great deal to the project. This was an old kitchen in a very old house, so you know you are going to run into suprises once you start tearing everything up. We did, but there was nothing Bob couldn't handle. He told me the job would take two to three weeks and it took two and a half even with several additional things we had to do along the way. He is very clever about finding ways to make everything work in the space allotted. I could have had the job done in a much shorter amount of time by a contractor who used four guys, but I doubt very much I would have been able to get the quality of work I got. Was a good price too. . I have some pictures I will try to add later.
Description of Work: It was a lot. There was demo work, rerouting plumbing and installing new plumbing lines. Rerouting electrical and installing new electric. Taking up flooring and putting in new flooring. He was able to reuse cabinets we took down in order to make new cabinets where we wanted them. Decent amount of custom carpentry. Installed new dishwasher, sink, countertops. He did some structural work to shore up an area that was in need. I'm sure there was more, but that is all I can remember.

We are absolutely thrilled with the result. Bob is quite the craftsman and he takes a lot of pride in his work and it certainly shows. I would highly recommend Bob for any renovation project you are contemplating.
Description of Work: Bob came by and gave us an estimate to remove a wall between our den and living room. He explained that it was a load bearing wall and would require special support. On the start date, he arrived promptly and began by installing supports to the ceilings in both rooms before the wall was removed. He removed a 10 foot section of wall that included electrical outlets and a thermostat. The new opening was framed with a 4” X 12’ support beam overhead that was necessary since the wall was load bearing. The framing was finished to match our existing doorways and other openings. Bob fashioned a threshold and stained it to match our hardwood floors. The electrical outlets were relocated so that we didn’t lose any and the thermostat also had to be relocated.

Have used Bob previously and this time was no different. Showed up on time, workmanship is excellent, and price was fair. Bob is meticulous and his work reflects his commitment to making us happy. We love our new windows and doors. I should note that we were having a termite treatment also recently, and the inspector noted that the foundation work and repairs that Bob had previously done were some of the best work he had seen. He commented that he sees a lot of shoddy work and it was refreshing to see a first class repair job.
Description of Work: Replaced all windows and the front door and a patio door. All total were 16 windows, one entrance door, and a sliding glass patio door.

The original estimate was that it would take 3-1/2 to 4 weeks to complete this job, but there was a delay because of several errors by the manufacturer and installer of the cultured marble shower stall and vanity top. Otherwise, Bob Forkish completed the work quite professionally and competently. Because Bob was on the job when the cultured marble was being installed, he was able to catch the errors and ensure that they were appropriately corrected. Bob did an excellent job of installing the 12" tile floor. The ceiling repair -- even though this is a "popcorn" ceiling -- was done so carefully that one cannot tell where the repair was done.
Description of Work: This was a complete remodeling involving stripping walls and floors to the studs of our master bathroom. It included removing an old tub and replacing it with a cultured marble shower with a glass door. The walls (including old ceramic tile around the tub) and old ceramic tile floor were removed and replaced with -- respectively -- new wallboard and a new porcelain tile floor. New fixtures (which we purchased) and a new cultured counter top for the vanity were installed. A ceiling fan and a light over the shower were new features. Several smaller repairs were also performed, such as putting up new crown molding in two baths, reseating three commodes, and patching the family room ceiling where the old master bathroom tub upstairs had leaked and caused a water stain.

The project required that the walls, tile flooring, and ceiling be removed and replaced., moving the toilet to a newly built water closet, removing the garden tub and replacing it with a large shower. It also included replacing the vanity and lighting. Bob also suggested that we replace the current bathroom entry door with a pocket door - we love it. Bob also performed several extras for me. He cut down the large mirror we had and handmade two mirror frames that matched our current woodwork stain. All work was done in a timely manner. The quality of the work was first rate. Bob is pickier than I am when it comes to quality. I highly recommend Bob for any remodeling effort you may have.
