He installed the replacement storm door backwards. Since it was a replacement, he just sent the panel. He had to install the existing hardware such as the knobs. His son was working with him that day. I didn't notice that the door was put on backwards until we went to switch out the screen for glass in the Fall. At that point there was nothing I could do, so I never called him on it. His prices were on the fair to high side. After the door was put on backwards, I will not use them again. I have used them in the past for woodworking and carpentry. He does a good job with replacing rotten wood on the house.
Description of Work: I hired Tom Cavanaugh Home Improvements to install a storm door.

He is a high school teacher who does small jobs on weekends or after school. During the summer he does big home improvement jobs like bathrooms and so forth. He is a true professional. He had accepted payment only for his materials. He would not accept payment for whatever extra work that was done when it was because of a faulty job done by someone else. He didn?t have to do that job because someone else hadn?t done their job properly.
Description of Work: We had used Tom Cavanaugh Home Improvements to construct a mantle for my fireplace. He had constructed it by hand. It is truly great finishing carpentry that looks like a piece of art. He had lag bolted it in. When we had removed the old mantle which the other builders had installed, there were about 38 nails in there and only three studs. They hadn’t been able to find the studs, but Tom Cavanaugh could. He had sanded them down and put a base primer on and stained them. He also had to come back three times to repair some floor work that wasn’t done properly by another company.
