RICHARD'S CARPENTRY SERVICE INC

He does great work. He is clean and cleans up well after himself. He has kept my house going for a number years. He always does a good job and I will continue to use him in the future.

RICHARD WAS GREAT. HE WORKED WITH US TO MEET OUR NEEDS, WHILE WORKING WITHIN OUR BUDGET. HE CAME UP WITH A GREAT SOLUTION FOR AN AREA OF THE YARD THAT COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE TRADITIONAL FENCING, BUT THAT STILL NEEDED TO KEEP OUR DOG CONTAINED. HIS SOLUTION WAS REASONABLY PRICED AND LOOKS GREAT! HE WAS RESPONSIVE, RELIABLE, AND HE RETURNED ALL OF OUR PHONE CALLS. WE WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN, AND RECOMMEND HIM TO OUR FRIENDS!

HE DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO DO AND HE CALLS BEFORE COMING IF HE IS GOING TO BE LATE. HE DOES VERY GOOD WORK.

RICHARD ARRANGED TO MEET WITH ME TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE. AFTER CHANGING THE MEETING TIME TWICE, HE SPENT TIME REVIEWING THE JOB WITH ME AND PROMISED TO CALL WITH AN ESTIMATE WITHIN A FEW DAYS. HE CONFIRMED THAT THE TYPE OF WORK I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS HIS SPECIALTY. AFTER 60+ DAYS, NO ESTIMATE WAS EVER PROVIDED.

MR. TALBERT WAS INITIALLY VERY PROMPT IN COMING OUT TO LOOK AT WHAT WE WANTED DONE. HE JUST NEVER FOLLOWED UP OR RETURNED MY CALL.

THIS WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE OVERALL. RICHARD REQUESTED A 50% DEPOSIT UP FRONT. HE DID NOT SHOW UP AS PROMISED AND ONLY COMPLETED ABOUT 25-30% OF THE AGREED UPON WORK. THE WORK HE DID DO WAS A LITTLE SHODDY, WHICH I ATTRIBUTE TO LAZINESS ON HIS PART AS HE HAD PLENTY OF TOP OF THE LINE EQUIPMENT AND SEEMED TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT. AFTER THIS BAD EXPERIENCE, I TALKED WITH SOMEONE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO SAW HIM AT MY HOME AND SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD HAD A SIMILAR BAD EXPERIENCE WITH HIM. A WORD TO THE WISE - CHECK REFERENCES! NOW I'VE GOT TO HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO FINISH THE PROJECT AND CORRECT HIS MISTAKES AND I AM OUT THE MONEY I PAID HIM.

THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD. RICHARD SHOWED UP WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD, DID A GOOD JOB, WAS POLITE, EASY TO WORK WITH, AND CHARGED A REASONABLE PRICE.

PROFESSIONAL AND PUNCTUAL. ORIGINAL CAULKING JOB WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE, BUT HE DID REDO THE WORK AND CORRECTED IT. HE SAID THE CAULKING SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 5 YEARS, AND IT'S COMING OUT AGAIN AND IT'S ONLY BEEN 3 MONTHS.

HE CALLED BACK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID HE WOULD COME OUT TO GIVE ESTIMATE SOMETIME THE NEXT DAY. I AM NOT SURE IF HE EVER CAME OR NOT, BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM YET AND IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF. SINCE I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM HIM I WILL ASSUME HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN PERFORMING THE WORK?

DID NOT FOLLOW UP AFTER COMING TO MY HOUSE. DID NOT RECEIVE QUOTE AS HE PROMISED. WHEN REVIEWING THE JOB, HE MADE SEVERAL NEGATIVE COMMENTS, IE. 'THAT WON'T WORK', THAT OTHER CARPENTERS DID NOT AGREE WITH. I WOULD NOT CALL HIM AGAIN.

RICHARD MADE SEVERAL GOOD SUGGESTIONS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND IMPROVE THE RESULTS OF THE WORK. A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RICHARD...ALTHOUGH HE DOES REQUIRE PAYMENT OF 50% UPFRONT, I KNEW FROM THE START THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY GOOD.

HE WAS HERE ALMOST 12 HOURS, HE WAS VERY PROMPT THE PRICE WAS NOT CHEAP BUT IT WAS WORTH.

I HAD TO FOLLOW UP WITH A CALL TO RECEIVE MY ESTIMATE, BUT HE APOLOGIZED AND SAID THAT HE HAD HAD AN ILLNESS IN HIS FAMILY AND WITH A FRIEND THAT HE HAD TO ATTEND TO. BEFORE AND AFTER THAT, HIS RESPONSIVENESS WAS EXCELLENT. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO CALL AGAIN.

RICHARD WAS EXTREMELY GOOD ABOUT ANSWERING CALLS, SHOWING UP WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD, CLEANING UP AFTER HIMSELF, SPECIFYING THE EXACT TERMS OF THE CONTRACT AND OTHERWISE PROVIDING THE SERVICE AS QUICKLY AND COMPETENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

HE CLEANS AS HE GOES AND COVERS EVERYTHING, AND HE DOES VERY EXCELLENT WORK. HE IS VERY DETAIL ORIENTED AND IT LOOKS GREAT! IVE FOUND HIM TO BE VERY RELIABLE AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE WORK. IVE USED HIM MANY OTHER TIMES AND HE ALWAYS DOES EXCELLENT WORK! I WILL CONTINUE TO USE HIM AGAIN!~

GAVE A PROFESSIONAL QUOTE, DID A VERY GOOD JOB, CLEANED UP THOROUGHLY AFTER. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIS SERVICES AGAIN FOR CARPENTRY WORK.

I WOULD NOT HIRE RICHARD AGAIN TO CLEAN MY DECK.

CAUTION: THIS REPORT IS RATED CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION WORK ONLY. WE ALSO HAD A CONTRACT FOR RICHARD TO PRESSURE CLEAN AND SEAL THE DECK (SEE SEPARATE REPORT UNDER DECK MAINTENANCE.) IN CLEANING THE DECK RICHARD DID NOT COVER MY BUTTERFLY GARDEN AT THE BASE OF THE DECK AND SEVERAL PLANTS AND BUSHES WERE DESTROYED OR INJURED BADLY. WE ARE NEGOTIATING ON PAYMENT OF THIS PORTION OF THE JOB.

UNFORTUNATELY, MY DECK COULD NOT BE BUILT DUE TO SOIL CONDITIONS. WORK DID HAVE TO BE PERFORMED (DIGGING FOOTINGS, GETTING MATERIALS, CONSULTING WITH ENGINEER, REFILLING FOOTINGS) BEFORE WE FOUND OUT WE COULDN''T GET THE PERMIT ALLOWED. RICHARD WAS VERY FAIR AND HELPFUL WITH THE SITUATION AND SHOULD I HAVE FURTHER NEED FOR CARPENTRY SERVICE, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY CALL HIM FIRST.

RICHARD IS THE UTMOST PROFESSIONAL. WHEN A PROBLEM WITH A FOOTING INSPECTION CREATED ADDITIONAL WORK AND TIME ON THE JOB, RICHARD DOVE RIGHT IN AND GOT THE JOB DONE. WE WILL BE REQUESTING ADDITIONAL WORK FROM HIM DUE TO HIM ALWAYS BEING PUNCTUAL, ATTENTION TO DETAIL, CLEANLINESS OF THE WORK SITE AND CONSTANT COMMUNICATION. HE IS A GENUINE NICE GUY TO WORK WITH, WHICH IS EXTREMELY RARE. ALWAYS A KIND WORD IS SPOKEN, EVEN WHEN THINGS GOT DIFFICULT.

HE WAS VERY NICE AND EASY TO WORK WITH. I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO HAVE HIM DO THE WORK, BECAUSE HE SHOWED ME AND TOLD ME HOW I COULD FIX IT MYSELF WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATED. I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM HIM, AND IF I EVER NEED ANYONE WITH HIS EXPERTISE, I WILL DEFINITELY HAVE HIM BACK.

HE WAS VERY NICE AND HE CAME WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD. HE DID A GOOD JOB IN TERMS OF HIS CRAFTSMANSHIP.

RICHARD WAS EASY TO WORK WITH. HE WAS FLEXIBLE AND ABLE TO MAKE ADUSTMENTS TO MEET MY NEEDS.

VERY GOOD WITH COMMUNICATION AND ALWAYS LETS YOU KNOW WHEN HES COMING TO DO THE WORK. HE IS EXCELLENT AND HAVE HAD HIM DO SEVERAL THINGS FOR ME.
