Terry Ostrom was very punctural and professional in completing this project. Unlike myself in writing this review. Terry arrived and went right to work carefully removing the old door and jamb. He had picked up the new door and jamb on his way to my house. He slipped the new door in and shimed it to square and anchored it in place better the the original had been. He reattached the interior trim. He added the new pine trim to the exterior of the jamb and sealed it. He filled all the nail holes and it was ready for paint. He cleaned up and left the area free of any debris. I will use Terry Ostrom for all my projects beyond my capabilities!!! My wife was very pleased with this new door.

Hard to schedule because he's busy. A little casual in demeanor and appearance, but his work was well thought out, well executed, thorough, and exactly in line with his estimates both for time and cost. Would use him again in a heartbeat.

He never returned my calls. The least he could have done is returned the calls to say he was too busy or didn't want to travel to my area. Very unprofessional
Description of Work: Nothing. I called him twice and left substantial messages. One with an answering machine and one in person with his wife, I think.

I only wish that I could give Terry an A+. He was such a pleasure to work with. He was able to easily fix a myriad of household problems from a disconnected water plug to fencing that was pulling away from a wall. Terry is honest, hard working, focused, intelligent, and reliable. He did his work quickly and well and even made a trip to Lowes to get necessary supplies. By far, Terry is the best handyman I've ever worked with and I'll be using him for all future services.

Terry is a fantastic carpenter and a very pleasant, laid-back guy. He was punctual, and his rates are very reasonable. He undid some amateur carpentry mistakes I'd made in trying to hang a door, and gave me some professional pointers. He's my go-to carpenter from now on, because, really, when am I going to actually learn how to do this myself? Highly recommended!!!
Description of Work: Terry hung about eight interior and two exterior doors, all solid wood, along with two sets of solid wood bypass closet doors. He also built a cased entryway between two rooms.

Great! Absolutelty no complaints..
Description of Work: Terry hung a new pocket door to replace a 28 year-old door. He appeared on schedule for the estimate and worked us into his schedule - Because of Angie's list popularity he is scheduled into May 2013. He had a pleasant demeanor, and worked quickly and efficiently, leaving our home as he found it. His breadth of skills makess him an ideal choice for most any job around the house. He has learned and exhibits professional behavior in phone and face settings. We will definitely call on him again. Thanks to Angie's list for giving us an excellent choice!

Terry contacted me the same day I first phoned him. We scheduled his work a couple of weeks out because he had other commitments. He arrived promptly as scheduled, worked very efficiently and is very much a professional. He is also a problem solver! We will definitely be calling Terry for our next projects.
Description of Work: Terry replaced some trim on our kitchen island; came up with a great solution to match the existing since the trim is not longer available. He replaced some door hinges, repaired a sliding door and repaired a cabinet in our laundry room. He also replaced the trim on our exterior patio door and sealed and repainted it.

He stained the 3/4" rounds before he got to my house, which I appreciated. It took him several hours for this big job but he came prepared and worked continuously through the day. He is polite, professional and takes pride in his work. I would recommend him to anybody and will definitely use his services again in the future.

I contacted Terry along with two other companies from Angie's list to replace my falling down picket fence in the front yard. After getting quotes and having a few conversations, I selected Terry. My experience with his work was outstanding! I decided I'd like to have a more custom fence rather than just replace with another picket style. I drew out some options and sent them to Terry to look at. After some discussions about the material and final design, Terry provided another quote reflecting the changes. Even though the work was now based on a custom design, the price was quite reasonable. He and another man started work as scheduled, tearing down and hauling away the old fence. The next day Terry returned a bit later in the morning. He had to go to several lumber stores to get the quality of redwood he found acceptable. He also made some suggestions for a change to the post end cap, based on another example he had seen. Although I had sketched out my concept for the fence, Terry had to flesh out the details necessary to make it realistic. I really appreciated his willingness to make adaptations (always consulting with me) to create the best product at a reasonable price. The results was outstanding, and more than I had hoped for! It completely complements my home and adds a tremendous amount of curb appeal. I've had many complements from neighbors and visitors. I love driving up to my house. Terry also returned to help me stain the fence, which turned into a major effort. I've included pictures of the end product. Overall, the quality of Terry's workmanship was first class. He gave me receipts for all material and completed all the work in a timely manner, including clean up after the project. Along the way I found Terry to be ethical, pleasant, and professional. I have used him for additional work and Intend to have him help with future projects. I would (and have) recommend him to others for a variety of projects.

Well done in all aspects. I really was completely satisfied with his work. He was always there when he said he would be and worked a full days at a steady pace. His craftmanship and skills are excellent.
Description of Work: Terry was hired following a couple of phone calls and his visit to my business location in Old Town (Albuquerque). I liked Terry right off because he listened to what I needed to get done and asked questions so he could fully understand the extent of the project. He indicated he'd get back to me with an estimate on both the labor costs and the material cost to complete the needed work. He reported back by email fairly quickly and with a price (in total) that was reasonable and fair. Work started within a few days as he worked my project into his schedule. Terry was always quick to respond to communications from me and always showed up at the site when he said he would be there. His work was never rushed but always moving ahead at a good pace. Terry wasted no time while he was there at work. His skills are many and the quality of his work was excellent. He finished the work ontime and on budget, with full receipts for all the materials used. I highly recommend Terry and would be happy to hire him again.
