FINE LINE CONSTRUCTION

Jim was so wonderful to work with! He kept everything nice and clean and got the job done quickly.

Jim did an excellent job and I'd highly recommend his services. He is extremely responsible and dependable, and does impeccable work (especially carpentry which is his specialty). He's reasonable, trust-worthy and easy to work with. If he's busy with other jobs, he will NOT forget you and is good about keeping you updated. Finally, we had a stain in our granite a week after it was installed, and Jim was probably more upset than we were and worked with the granite people to remove the stain. I felt confident the entire time that he would help me resolve the issue, which he did. He is an all around honest guy who is thorough and does excellent work. It is amazing to see how effortlessly he performs his carpentry work - our kitchen and bath are beautiful.

We contacted Jim Ferrell from Fine Line Construction concerning the installation of additional cabinets in our laundry room. Jim worked closely with us to understand exactly what we were looking for and to make sure his solution met our needs. He responded quickly to all phone calls and emails and was able to provide us with a reasonable estimate in a prompt fashion. Jim showed up when he said he would and did a professional job with the cabinet installation. We highly recommend Fine Line Construction and would definitely use them again in the future.

Jim was amazing. We have an old home with very uneven floors which made for a difficult kitchen cabinet install. He clearly knew what he was doing, made great recommendations, was easy to work with, punctual, super kind, and flexible with us and our schedule. He even helped us with our "not so easy" Ikea bathroom vanity that we were struggling with. Would use him again in a heart beat. Hopefully having him back to build our mantel over our fireplace as he does custom wood working as well.

Jim came very highly recommended by the contractor who completed our kitchen demo; as well as from the cabinetry designer. We have a small kitchen and we went with an aggressive design to pack in as much functionality as we could. One particularly tricky area was the island where Jim had to contend with a floor AC vent and an air return with very little wiggle room. Jim was absolutely amazing on all accounts. On the first day he knocked out nearly the entire installation; coming back on the second day for finishing touches. Watching him work is very impressive, he has a clear focus, passion, and mastery for what he does. There were multiple potential issues in our kitchen including uneven floors, HVAC in the way, and trying to hide/cover patched wooden flooring. For each item Jim was able to think critically on the spot and find creative solutions. Jim kept me informed throughout the process and engaged me in the decisions, giving his professional opinion and letting me decide which solution I preferred. Jim is warm, friendly, professional, tidy, and absolutely should be a part of the conversation for any wood working project you have.

From our initial inquiry to payment this transaction could not have been better. Jim Ferrell (Fine Line Construction) was extremely responsive, prompt, professional, respectful, and a pleasure to work with. He made an effort to make the completed product available even sooner than we expected. He obviously is knowledgeable and competent in his field. We would not hesitate to call him again or to recommend his services. Note - Pictures are available but it seems impossible to provide them as part of this review.

Jim Ferrell, working entirely alone, installed a complete set of kitchen cabinets plus cabinets in two bathrooms following earlier demolition of the old cabinetry by a separate contractor. Using working drawings and a room full of boxed frames, doors, moldings, hardware, etc., he quickly and efficiently assembled, positioned and installed the floor cabinets and then the above counter cabinets, taking careful measurements as he went to insure perfect fits. He involved us in the process, and in several cases involved us in on the spot decision processes when suggested changes necessitated by the room being out of perfect square, resulted in a much better looking end result. We were pleased not only by the quality of his work, but by the obvious pride that he took in doing it. What should have been a 1 1/2 day project took parts of three days, but only because the work was done during a snow and ice event in Raleigh that necessitated delays in morning and afternoon travel. Despite our assuring him that our work could wait, Jim drove the 30+ miles each way to our home on three consecutive days when many businesses and all schools were closed in order to keep our job and others in his queue as close to schedule as possible in light of the adverse weather. His work was superb, and we have received nothing but compliments from all who have seen the cabinetry. We asked Jim to come back about a month after the initial installation to change the location of our built-in microwave oven. He was able to do so using unused materials leftover from the original installation. In a few hours, he had quickly designed and modified the existing cabinetry with a built-in shelf and enclosure for the microwave that looks like it was part of the original design.

I have used Jim previously for carpentry work. We looked at so many kitchen cabinets and had so many bids until Jim offered us to look at his line of cabinets. Everything was perfect, quality, soft close drawers, full extensions and he put soft close on all the upper cabinets also. Jim did a fantastic job on the entire job. When we needed anything he was there for us. Entire kitchen remodels are always difficult without a kitchen sink but he was always on time, informed us when cabinets were going to be delivered and was very good about the timing of the demo and then installation so we would not be too inconvenienced. He provided a beautiful kitchen for us at a very competitive price and excellent craftsmanship. I would refer you to Jim for any carpentry work or kitchen that you might need. Great all around one stop shopping professional for your remodels. Jim was very trustworthy and so professional in all ways that we let him have our house key for the entire project. I recommend Fine Line Construction for any kitchen or woodworking project in your near future as you will get an excellent outcome.

Mr Ferrell ( Jim) put a new vanity cupboards, top, sinks, mirrors and lights in our master bath. All the work was done on time as promised. It was an excellent job and looked great when completed. Each days work was cleaned up, materials taken away. We always call Jim first when needing any type of home remodeling done.

Jim was and is a delight to work with. Professional and outstanding craftsman. It has taken us months to decide on a new kitchen cabinet and Jim is the only contractor we want to install our new kitchen. More reviews later when we have our new kitchen completed by Jim.

We needed to have builtin bookcases in the living room modified for new AV equipment. This involved relocating two shelving modules from the top to the bottom, moving electrical and cable outlets, adding a new back panel, module base and trim and painting the interior of the new shelf. Due to their workload we had to reschedule the initial meeting with Shane a couple of times. When Shane did show up we were able to quickly agree on what needed to be done and he sent me a written estimate which I accepted. The carpenters who did the work showed up on time, reviewed with us exactly what needed to be done, and were careful to keep everything neat and clean. The carpenters and I needed to make a couple of decisions on the fly when we found that the shelves were not constructed exactly as we had expected. This took a bit of extra time but the guys stayed with it until after 6:00pm when everyone was satisfied with the result. There was some extra lumber needed but Shane did not charge us for that and he returned with an extra piece that we could use for testing stain to match the existing shelves (we chose to stain the new wood ourselves). We were very pleased with the result and would have no hesitancy in using Fine Line Construction again.

Jim was extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. He did excellent quality work for us on time and on budget. With very little oversight from us, he produced a product that exceeded our expectations. He integrated the shelving unit with our kitchen cabinets extremely well. We will not hesitate to hire Jim again, and recommend him highly. I just hope he doesn't get too busy!

It went really really well. We got along with Jim well, and easily discussed design and other options with each other. We were interested in having two built-ins built on either side of our fireplace in our new house. We picked pictures out of internet searches, and Jim helped us determine what we wanted, and eventually gave us a price. Jim built the built-ins off site, and then delivered and installed them onsite. The results EXCEEDED our expectations, especially mine. They are well built, solid and very very detail oriented. We were extremely happy with at the work Jim did, and would recommend him to anyone! Use him if you can!

Jim came out to see my kitchen and I knew right away the first time I met him, I want him to do this job. Jim is responsive, responsbille, honest, hardworking, perfectionist, professional, efficient and punctual. It has been my pleasure to work with. I left him alone while running errands and not once was ever concerned about leaving my home in his hands. I was fortunate to meet his son Brock who was helping him out at this time for a bit, and so enjoyed having them here. I am thrilled with the way my kitchen looks, I will say it is absolutely beautiful. Jim is known for his crown molding as well as installing and the crown is gorgeous. "The icing to the cake" I recommend using Jim and I know you will be very satisfied with his excellent customer service.

Jim did a great job from day one. We talked about what we wanted in our bookshelves and he really listened to our wants and needs, gave us some good suggestions and was very thorough in costs for the project. Throughout each part of the install, he made sure the shelves looked exactly as we had hoped. The final product was better then what we had expected! They are exactly what we wanted with no financial or design surprised. We're hoping to having him start on another project for us in the next few months!

We wanted to make a few changes to my kitchen, and the realtor put me in touch with Jim. He is a true pleasure to work with. He listened to what I wanted to do and made very helpful suggestions about how I could do it and make it even better. He worked with me on the timing of the project (I needed to be finished before Thanksgiving) and did a fantastic job! He built a custom kitchen island mounted on wheels (cleverly concealed so they don't show at all), matched the cabinet style to my existing kitchen cabinets and matched the marble surface to my existing counter tops. It looks exactly like the cabinets that were already there - like it came with the house! The shelves in the cabinets have pull-out drawers for very easy access, and he carried this feature over to the pantry as well. Now I have tons of storage and it's all easy to get to. Jim was always on time, was very considerate, always left his work area cleaner than it was when he arrived. I will absolutely contact him for my next interior project since I know I'll get an excellent result.

The building supply company delivered my cabinets very late on a Friday evening, asked for a signature confirming that I received the cabinets, and confirmed that the installer would be at my home on Monday morning. I don't remember being told that the work that I had paid them to do was being sub-contracted out. The installer arrived early and unboxed all of the cabinets, set up all of the saws, tables, etc. I was skeptical that one person could install a kitchen full of cabinets in one day , but he assured me that he could and that he would. The installer was Jim Ferrell. He was very focused and fast. He laid out all of the cabinets, based on the schematic, and he went to work. My skepticism and stress vanished by the time that he had put up a couple of cabinets and I realized how lucky I was that Jim Ferrell was the subcontractor that they sent to do my kitchen. He cleaned up every box and swept up every bit of saw dust on my floor and in my cabinets. He finished all of the installation in the time frame that he said he would. There was not a scratch or nick on any of my gorgeous cabinets and they looked great! Recently I found out that Jim has a company, Fine Line Construction. I was happy to be able to write a review for his new company and to tell all of the homeowners out there looking for a professional, that they have found one in him. I am looking forward to Jim putting in closet organizers in my bedrooms, and cabinetry and vanities in my bath during Phase II of our remodel. And I am still enjoying my new kitchen.

Jim is a very hard working, sincere and GOOD carpenter and woodworker. He was always here when he said he would be and left work area neat as possible for that day. He often had suggestions and ideas that worked well and were very helpful during the job. All his work is excellent and we consider him to be a true craftsman at what he does. He is a great guy and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a job well done. We call him first for any work that we have to do and will in the future.

Great. He showed up exactly when he was supposed to. He had help carrying the old cabinets out and bringing the new cabinets from the truck. Other than that, he worked by himself. He predicted that the work would be done by 3:00; he actually pulled out of my driveway at 3:02 (delayed a couple of minutes because he helped me move a mirror). Work was very nicely done. Neat and clean.
