Description of Work: Carpentry Plus Improvements last year renovated my kitchen. I have previously submitted a review and I was so pleased with the work that I recently contracted them once again to renovate my bathroom. Danny Mustacato is the owner and is friendly, professional and accurate. He takes great pride in his staff and his work. Before meeting Mr. Mustacato I had a different bathroom in my house renovated by a previous company who was not as reliable or professional. My experience with Carpentry Plus has been excellent! They manage everything above and beyond what they have quoted and what they have committed to. I now have a beautiful bathroom as well as kitchen thanks to Carpentry Plus. The prices are more than fair. They are competitive and you can be assured that if there are any unforeseen costs Mr. Mustacato makes no assumptions. One of the biggest advantages is that Mr. Mustacato will act as the general contractor on the entire job. He follows the job on a precise timeline and allows project management to left to him. This makes the entire process stress free for me, the homeowner. .I would recommend Carpentry plus Improvements for all my home repairs/ renovations.
Throughout my kitchen renovation I made many changes to the original plan,Daniel and his crew not only welcomed my changes but helped with the ease of all the transition needed every time I made a change to the original plan. I am so happy with the job that Carpentry Plus improvements has done that I have been motivated to write my first online review of anything.
Description of Work: Carpentry plus improvements were among the three companies I had Narrowed my bidding down to when renovating my kitchen. I eventually chose them because Daniel Mustacato's follow up ,sincerity and detail in the quoting process was exactly what i was looking for.Additionally Daniels creativity ,and experience proved to be expertise that relied on throughout the renovation. Daniel and crew helped make decision making easy for me. His professional eye ultimately made me my dream kitchen. His entire company and crew are professional,friendly, clean and meticulous in there work and there set up and clean up on a daily basis. I would recommend and hire Carpentry plus again for any repair or renovation on either of my homes.
From start to finish job went very smoothly. We moved out and moved back in before the original estimated date to return. The house is amazing
Description of Work: Demolished old home approx. 2480 square feet. Built new home just over 10,000 square feet.

STAY AWAY! Danny Mustacato, the contractor, was intially very responsive, but once he received my deposit he disappeared. I have been unable to get a response from him for the last 3 weeks in spite of my discussion that the work needed to be complete by early september so that painting could begin. As of yesterday his business phone is disconnected . While I know there are other possible explainations; sickness, accident, etcetera, and I would really like to think better of Danny, unfortunately having heard nothing and now finding the phone disconnected.... I can only presume he took my 1/3 deposit and won't be back.
Description of Work: Contactor was supposed to replace railings, columns and perform other woodworking tasks on the exterior of house.

Response from Carpentry Plus Improvements
I cannot believe that Angie's List would allow such incomplete and bias information to be published. This members comments are fictional. The Member decided to match existing railings and I contacted a company in making balusters very similar to existing. I clearly told the Member that materials from company would arrive in 3-4 weeks from order date. I would need a signed proposal and a deposit. The deposit check from First Republic Bank #592 was dated August 20th and materials were ordered. I then receive email from the Member on September 5, beginning of 3rd week from materials being ordered, to terminate contract. I replied immediately and told the Member I did not receive a call from him, I pay a professional answering service to answer all incoming calls. The answering service Texts and emails all calls immediately to my cell phone. I then told the Member I would deliver the materials as soon as the arrived to my office. I copied the Member on tracking information as I received it, and delivered the materials on the day they arrived to my office with a check for the remaining balance of deposit. To write what he wrote is absurd, and I feel fortunate that I truly believe this was a blessing in disguise!!!!!!

I really liked Danny from the minute I met him. He listened very well and worked with me to find a good solution. His estimate was competitive, but his ability to communicate and be an advocate for me is why I hired him. The guys did a beautiful job rebuilding the stairs -- they look great. I also feel much more secure in our porch because Danny helped me understand the issues and how best to resolve them. I would highly recommend Danny and his team.
Description of Work: Replaced porch support beam, removed and rebuilt stairs, removed sliding glass door and installed new framing. Also fixed some rotted wood undersiding. Reenfored porch with lage screws and plates and insulated window under porch.

They did it and did a great job. He gave me recommendations in areas that were not his field of expertise. That was very appreciative. When he said he was coming he came. When there was a snow storm he called to say he wasn't coming to make sure. His punctuality and professionalism were fabulous. I am using him in the future to do work in my other bathroom.
Description of Work: I used them to do some work in my kitchen. They installed a wine cooler. They had to refit cabinets and drawers next to it. In my bathroom where I had originally had another contractor add cabinets for a sink, but I could not open the drawers unless the door was open all the way. He had his guys come and modify the drawers so I could open them. He made modifications to the wood.

He did a good job. Nice and neat and blends in with the rest of the architecture of the home. We did ask him to do some additional work for us. He has been a bit slow about getting back to us with those estimates.
Description of Work: He covered a heating pipes that goes to the outside and insulated them.

They were great. They were very careful during demolition. Everything was covered and protected, at the end of the day it was clean. My husband and I were very impressed. Tiles were installed and cabinets went in. The trim work was phenomenal. Every day there was progress made. This was a great experience.
Description of Work: Danny from Carpentry Plus Improvements and his men renovated my kitchen and first floor bathroom. He was the general contractor and his team were superb.

Danny was recommended to us by a reliable source and was a pleasure to deal with. However, two of the three pieces of the work were suboptimal. In one case, we had to insist he come back and do it again; in another, we had to have our general contractor fix it. I think he is talented, but is taking on too much work to supervise properly. He showed up a month after we signed our contract, and then the work was not satisfactory. He then demanded additional money for work he did that was not authorized by us.
Description of Work: Repaired a broken girder, reinforced garage wall with sister floor joist, and repaired a damaged sill plate in the crawl space of the basement.

It was a pleasure to deal with. The timing issue was once we receive a signed proposal, the job then goes onto the schedule. Depending on schedule, the average is 3-4 weeks.Her architect was inadequate with structure after working in Manhattan dealing with non-structural spaces. The architect asked to do additional work, and therefore that created additional expenses, I was unaware the home owner was not told.
