It was a pleasure working with JH Strain. Joe was very communicative, assisted in the selection of my exterior patio door. He followed up with me and with the retailer/supplier and arranged for delivery of my door to coincide with installation. Joe's team covered my furniture and ensured the workspace was cleaned. The door appears to be installed properly, the door is no longer dragging on the carper (like the old one) and the locking mechanisms all work smoothly. Joe even looked at another possible project while here. Joe and team arrived on time and worked despite the occasional rain. I would recommend JH Strain!

Joe did a fine job and even saved me money by using a different lumber yard than the one who I was going to use for the door. There were a few unexpected problems which he also addressed and fixed.

Joe and his team are very accommodating and are not limited only to carpentry. I have had them back for plumbing and flooring and will continue to use them going forward.

We hired Joe to replace a window with a door (fiberglass interior and storm door). The job is flawless!! It looks like the door has been there forever. Everyone who sees the finished job is amazed. We couldn't be more pleased!

This was the most pleasant experience I ever had with a home renovation project. Joe explained everything the project would require in detail and gave me suggestions on how best to accomplish the look I wanted. The quote was fair and there were no added on costs. I paid exactly what I was quoted. The work and customer service were both of the highest quality. The project moved quickly and the workmanship excellent. I am extremely happy with the finished product. I will use them again and definitely recommend to my friends.

I had hired JH Strain to develop, create, and install a custom fireplace and custom window benching. Joe is very knowledgeable and offered insights and ideas every step of the way to the project. In the end everything came out great and better than planned. Joe was fully transparent and easily accessible through the project. I would hire Joe again for any custom carpentry job again. The attention to detail is impeccable. Thanks Joe. - Matt / Haddonfield

Joe came out quickly for the estimate and was honest and forthcoming about the work that needed to be done. He even went the extra mile to accomodate us quickly since we had other work on hold that could not continue until our doors were fixed and replaced. The work was completed quickly but with no sacrifice to quality. At the end of the job, we asked him to come back and quote us on replacing our front door as well.

We are extremely pleased with the project. Joe and his crew showed up on time everyday and kept us informed though out the evolution. He is very flexible and took the time to work with us on some major changes that we made during the job. He has over 40 years experience and is very meticulous and pays attention to every little detail. He not only made suggestion that made the deck more functional and look nicer, but he saved us a lot of $$$$ that we were able to put toward other upgrades for the project. I would also like to say that we went though Hurricane Sandy half way into the job and that Joe sent over one of his crewman (Rodger) on their off day to make sure the framing was secure and the material and the work site was protected from the storm.

the work was excellent. This contractor worked with my schedule and made every attempt to accommodate our ability to be in the home during the work. Professional approach to all aspect of the work and Joe and his staff are not only very pleasant but extremely polite. There was additional long standing rain damage to our floor which he discovered and repaired.

Joe Strain was wonderful from beginning to the end of my kitchen cabinet project. I wanted to install glazed glass on a number of my cabinets and once I explained what I wanted Joe just took over. He chose an absolutely perfect glass and his caulking on the interior is flawless as well as invisable!!! My old cabinets look fabulous and I would highly recommend Joe to everyone for home repairs. He gave me so much advice on other odds and ends that his expertise on just about everything was evident. Joe was meticulous, helpful, and extraorinarily professional. Do yourself a favor, save yourself time and money, and just hire Joe.
