Description of Work: They rebuilt and fitted our kitchen cabinet drawers, which saved us thousands of dollars by not having to buy new cabinets. They delivered quality work as promised, on time, and within budget. They are true craftsmen as well as consummate professionals. They are also general contractors, so we plan to hire them again soon for a larger project.

Description of Work: While the work has yet to be done, Nicholas (Old World Carpentry) has been extremely responsive, understands what I need, gives his honest advice, and uses phone and email to communicate which is very helpful. The reason the work isn't done yet is because of timelines with getting Permits in my town. Thank you.

Met with Mr. Miller the owner and discussed the project. Outlined what needed to be done. Mr. Miller provided a price along with a description of the work that he would be performed. Work began on schedule. Towards the end of the project i noticed that he had deviated from what had been agreed to. More importantly, upon closer inspection I noticed the quality of the work was well below what a Homeowner would expect from someone who stated that they did quality carpentry work. At the end of the project I pointed out to Mr. Miller what I was not satisfied with. I further stated that his work in some instances did not meet what would be considered acceptable carpentry practices. He said he stood by his work and offered to return and repair what I had pointed out as unacceptable. I declined his offer. I am in the process of correcting the mistakes that have been made myself.
Description of Work: Contractor was hired to repair a wood chute that was connected to the side of the house. Contractor Installed new cross members, provided some wood reinforcement of the existing structure, made some modifications to existing structure in a effort to improve the usability of the chute.

I?m so pleased with the work that Nicholas did on our new deck and sliding glass door. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation. I got a good feeling about him from the beginning, as he keep in touch about the status of the permit and when he would be able to start the job. He arrived early each day and worked tirelessly through to the late afternoon. I couldn?t believe how much he was able to accomplish each day. He is truly a jack-of-all-trades type of carpenter. He was an expert in everything from pouring the cement for our deck to cutting through our house to create an entryway for a sliding glass door. When I asked him if he could make a swinging gate on the top of the stairs to keep my daughter safe, it was absolutely no problem. His attention to detail was remarkable. He was able to put the vinyl siding back on our house so well that you can?t tell it was ever cut through. He truly loves what he does and wants to build a quality structure that will last. In addition to all those things, he was always pleasant and I trusted him at our house when we weren?t home. I will definitely call him first for future projects.

The guy that came out was young and very knowledgeable. He was courteous and timely. I didn't have the funds to followup when I wanted to talk to him.

He called and told me he was going on vacation earlier this morning, I did not appreciate this. He should have told me right away that he was leaving, it didn't make sense that he didn't know this two days ago when he scheduled with me.
Description of Work: He was supposed to come over for an estimate consultion at 9 am this morning.

Response from Old World Carpentry
Absolute incorrect. I initially told the customer that I was booked until August, but she asked if I would look at the job. Unfortunately I was not going to make the appointment and called to cancel. I told her I could not rescdule I was heading out on vacation for two weeks. She told me she needed the work done immediately. I once again reminded her that I was unable until August and suggested she find someone who could do the work sooner. I have been straight forward with this cutomer, as I am with all my customers, and believe that this review is unwarranted

We are very satisfied with their work. We have to wait for them to do our kitchen because of my schedule and they need to order the cabinets as well. They are the only ones that we hired to do the deck. We were comfortable with the way they spoke and gave us the estimate. They were reasonably priced unlike some people who are way too high. We were comfortable with his price so we chose him. They were good and we have no comments. We were not worried and comparatively they have done a very good job. We have not compared their prices with others but we feel their prices were very good. The deck seems to be fine to us. They showed up earlier and we liked it. They were very neat.
Description of Work: We used Old World Carpentry for doing our deck.

I found him on Angie's List. The owner's name is Nicholas Miller. He did a beautiful job on the cabinets. He also painted, but I would have liked a better paint job.

gutter repair

The man is honest and did not over charge. He said that he would be at my house at 4 pm, and showed up 5 minutes to 4 pm.
Description of Work: After all of the nasty weather, a short piece of gutter that is attached to the roof of the entry way had given way and was being held on by one nail. He had done a repair a few weeks ago, and came back to fix it. He would not even let me pay for the repair, after the initial job. The cost above is for the initial job.

Nick of Old World Carpentry came over and told us about his procedure, that his clients choose the material and he does the work. We told him our budget and suggested IKEA as affordable and with contemporary designs. He had an honest way about him and the estimate was clear with each steps and labor cost outlined. We told him our ideas and he said that he could do it, everything from moving a radiator so we could get a semi-island and leveling out the floor that had settled and was leaning. The result is great and the kitchen has a much improved layout now. We have yet to complete the remodeling ourselves, to explain the unfinished look of the kitchen in the photo. Nick finds custom solutions for your kitchen. The semi-island in butcher block was above our expectations since he made it larger than we thought, and sculpted the wood to go around the radiator after he moved it. In addition to what we signed a contract for, he found someone to do things that he saw that we needed help with, such as replacing three steps on the front of our house that were broken. To begin with he gave us the number to a mason, but when we couldn't reach him Nick simply took the matter in his own hands, went and got the stones and it was fixed in a day. We recommend working with Old World Carpentry and wouldn't hesitate to call him next time we need a project done.
Description of Work: Nick leveled out and replaced our existing kitchen floor. He removed the old kitchen and replaced it with new cabinets, countertops and appliances that we supplied.
