Old Time Carpentry

WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH ALL OF THE WORK THAT KEVIN HAS PERFORMED FOR US OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. HE IS PUNCTUAL, RELIABLE, AND PROFESSIONAL, AND HE ALWAYS DOES COMPETENT WORK. FOR THE CAT SITUATION, HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES TO OTHERS.

THERE WAS ONE ITEM THAT HE COULD NOT HANDLE AND HE WAS UP FRONT WITH ME ABOUT THAT. HE RECOMMENDED AN ELECTRICIAN INSTEAD. HE WAS VERY HONEST.

KEVIN HAD IDEAS THAT MADE THE JOB EASIER (AND CHEAPER) THAN I EXPECTED. THE PRICE INCLUDES TWO VISITS TO MY HOUSE - ONE TO CONSULT, MEASURE AND TELL ME WHAT MATERIALS TO BUY AND THEN HE CAME BACK TO DO THE INSTALLATION. KEVIN SHOWS UP BRIGHT AND EARLY AND GETS RIGHT TO THE WORK -- DOESN''T DILLY-DALLY. I SENSED THAT HE WORKED BEST WHEN I WASN''T HOVERING OVER HIM, BUT HE WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT CLARIFYING WHAT I WANTED WHEN DISCERNMENT WAS CALLED FOR THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT (LIKE HOW HIGH TO PUT THE TOP SHELF, HOW TO SPACE THE SHELVES, ETC.) HE ASKED FOR A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP AND FIXED MY DOOR BELL ON THE SPOT! NICE GUY, GOOD WORK.

I HAVE THE HARDEST TIME WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS RETURNING MY CALLS. UNTIL NOW I WAS VERY DISCOURAGED. OLD TIME CARPENTRY REDEEMED MY CONFIDENCE. HE CALLED BACK RIGHT AWAY AND NOT ONLY SHOWED UP FOR OUR APPOINTMENT, BUT WAS ON TIME! HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF MATCHING THE NEW SHINGLES WITH THE OLD ONES. YOU CANT EVEN TELL WERE THE ROOF WAS REPAIRED. HE CLEANED EVERYTHING UP SO WELL I HAD A HARD TIME RECOGNIZING IF THE WORK WAS DONE. IT WASNT UNTIL I CHECKED THE TRASH WHERE I FOUND HIS DISCARDED MATERIAL, THAT I KNEW IT WAS. THEN MY NEIGHBOR, LOOKING OUT FOR ME, EVEN CONFIRMED IT WHEN SHE TOLD ME A MAN HAD BEEN ON MY ROOF. MY ROOF HASNT LEAKED SINCE! I AM VERY PLEASED WITH OLD TIME CARPENTRY.

WHAT IMPRESSED ME ABOUT KEVIN WAS HIS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE. I THOUGHT HE COULD JUST SHAVE DOWN THE TOP OF THE DOOR TO FIX IT, BUT HE SAID IT WAS MORE EXTENSIVE THAN THAT BECAUSE THE HOUSE HAD SETTLED AND THE DOOR FRAME HAD DROPPED DOWN ON ONE SIDE, WHILE THE DOOR REMAINED THE SAME. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT LOOK RIGHT AND HAVE THE DOOR FUNCTION PROPERLY, THE DOOR FRAME NEEDED TO BE WORKED ON, NOT THE DOOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND OLD TIME CARPENTRY TO OTHERS--KEVIN IS PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, AND KNOWS WHAT HE''S DOING. IT IS NICE TO FIND SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST.

WE HAVE USED THIS COMPANY SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE WORK. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND OLD TIME CARPENTRY TO OTHER ANGIE''S LIST MEMBERS.

HE RESCHEDULED THE WORK TWICE. I HAD TO HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO REDO SOME OF HIS WORK. HE NEVER DID FINISH. I WOULD NEVER CALL HIM AGAIN.

KEVIN WHEELER, OWNER OF OLD TIME CARPENTRY, HAS DONE NUMEROUS JOBS FOR US OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. HE IS PROFESSIONAL AND RELIABLE, AND IT IS NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE WE KNOW AND CAN TRUST TO DO THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT ALWAYS NEED FIXING IN A HOUSE.

KEVIN CAN HANDLE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR WORK

KEVIN CAN HANDLE ANY INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR WORK

KEVIN ARRIVED WITHIN 1 HOUR OF PLACING THE CALL. HE REPAIRED THE DAMAGED HINGES OF THE WINDOW AND READJUSTED A DOOR LOCK. HE HAD TO ORDER A WINDOW AND SOME MOLDING DUE TO THE DAMAGE INFLICTED BY THE BURGLARY. HE SHOWED CONCERN FOR THE ROBBERY AND EVEN PROVIDED IDEAS ON HOW TO SOLVE THE CRIME.

THE SECURITY COMPANY CHARGES $80 FOR A SERVICE CALL. I CALLED OLD TIME CARPENTRY TO SEE IF KEVIN COULD FIX IT FOR LESS MONEY. (I HAVE USED THIS COMPANY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.) ALTHOUGH KEVIN COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, HE TOOK TIME OUT OF HIS BUSY SCHEDULE TO COME BY MY HOUSE AND LOOK AT IT, AND DID NOT CHARGE ME ANYTHING. AS FOR THE TOILET, I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH IT IN THE PAST, AND COULD NOT GET IT UNCLOGGED MYSELF, DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROMPT AND COURTEOUS, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES TO OTHERS.

HE CAME AND GAVE ESTIMATE .HE SAID HE WOULD DO THE WORK, BUT IT WAS OVER 5 WEEKS BEFORE HE SHOWED UP OR CALLED. VERY GOOD AT HIS WORK BUT VERY HARD TO GET A HOLD OF. MAYBE A LITTLE MESSY

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET ANY KIND OF COMMITTMENT FOR GETTING THE WORK DONE. WOULD NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS. COULD NOT BE DEPENDED ON TO ARRIVED AT AGREED UPON TIME. QUALITY OF WORK NOT THAT GREAT. SLOPPY - MADE A MESS IN MY BACK & FRONT YARDS AND KITCHEN. WE HAD TO ASK HIM TO STOP WITH THE JOB UNFINISHED.

INITIAL RESPONSE WAS GOOD. DID NOT SHOW UP WHEN ORIGINALLY INDICATED. SHOWED UP TWO WEEKS LATER, AND JUST STARTED ON ROOF WITHOUT LETTING US KNOW HE WAS HERE. PLACED CALLS AND NOT RETURNED. WORK WAS NOT QUITE UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS. PRICE WAS FAIR.

SEEMED VERY PROFESSIONAL. PROMISED TO GET ESTIMATE TO ME. NEVER CAME BACK.

THERE WAS INITIALLY A MISUNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE SCOPE AND LOCATION OF THE REPAIRS NEEDED, PRIMARILY, I THINK BECAUSE THE ENTIRE TRANSACTION WAS HANDLED OVER THE PHONE. HOWEVER, KEVIN WHEELER, THE COMPANY OWNER, WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION, WHICH REALLY IMPRESSED ME. HE HANDLED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY UGLY SITUATION IN AN EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL MANNER. I WAS ALSO VERY PLEASED WITH THE ACTUAL WORK DONE, AND WITH THE FACT THAT HE TOOK THE TIME TO TAKE ME AROUND THE ENTIRE FENCE POINTING OUT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AND SUGGESTING THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE MEANS TO RESOLVE THEM. KEVIN IS VERY PLEASANT TO WORK WITH, AND HE SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT ALL TYPES OF HOUSEHOLD REPAIRS, BOTH MAJOR AND MINOR. I HAVE ADDITIONAL CARPENTRY WORK THAT I WILL NEED TO HAVE DONE TO MY HOUSE, AND I DEFINITELY PLAN TO USE KEVIN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

I HAVE USED THIS COMPANY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD RESULT. KEVIN IS COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL AND CAN FIX JUST ABOUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS FIXING. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND OLD TIME CARPENTRY TO OTHERS.

WAS WILLING TO WORK ON A RESOLUTION OVER SOME QUALITY ISSUES I HAD WITH THE ORIGINAL WORK. THE STEP HE ORIGINALLY WORKED ON BROKE, AND WE DISAGREED AS TO THE REPAIR, AND I DIDNT ENJOY DEALING WITH HIM, BUT HE DID MAKE GOOD ON FIXING IT, BUT IT WASNT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

KEVIN WHEELER (OWNER). IT WAS IMPORTANT TO KEVIN THAT WE WERE SATISFIED.

CLEAN, ON TIME, CALLED BACK PROMPTLY, POLITE, PROFESSIONAL, THE CARPENTRY WAS GOOD

THE ONLY PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS COMPANY WAS NOT RETURNING MY PHONE MESSAGES--KEVIN EXPLAINED THAT HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH HIS WIRELESS SERVICE. WHEN HE FINALLY DID GET MY MESSAGE, HE CALLED ME BACK IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES.

DID A GREAT JOB. WILL USE THEM AGAIN

KEVIN''S PROFESSIONALISM AND PRIDE IN HIS WORK ARE UNMATCHED. HE IS AN ASSET TO ANGIE''S LIST AND TO PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CAN BARELY USE A SCREWDRIVER.....I HAD TO PRACTICALLY TWIST HIS ARM TO ACCEPT A TIP FOR THE WORK HE HAD DONE.

WE PLAYED PHONE TAG FOR A COUPLE DAYS. BUT ONCE WE SPOKE HE CAME OUT MONDAY, TODAY. QUICKLY FINISHED EACH TASK. I HAVE OTHER THINGS AROUND MY HOUSE THAT I WILL USE HIM FOR.
