CARPENTRY PLUS

The quality of the work was very good. Rodger was courteous and professional throughout the process. Some problems with scheduling of the work, but overall a good experience.

The other reports on Carpentry Plus were correct -- this guy does not keep appointments. While he did return my initial phone call fairly promptly, I stayed home from work to meet him for an estimate and he did not show up and didn't call. After I called him to see if he wanted to reschedule, he returned only one of my two calls and I decided he clearly wasn't worth my business.

AN EXTERIOR MOUNTED ENTRY LIGHTING FIXTURE UNEXPECTEDLY PULLED FREE FROM THE MOUNTING ON THE WOOD AND WAS DANGLING BY THE WIRING. AFTER CONSULTING WITH ANGIE'S LIST, WE DECIDED TO CONTACT CARPENTRY PLUS. AFTER LEAVING A MESSAGE ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE AND A 2ND MESSAGE WITH THE OWNERS DAUGHTER WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE, WE WAITED FOR A RETURN CALL. AFTER TWO DAYS, WE HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED AND WERE FORCED TO FIND ANOTHER CARPENTER. WE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK.

ROGER WAS VERY RESPONSIVE IN MAKING THE INITIAL APPOINTMENT. HE PROVIDED A WRITTEN ESTIMATE WITHIN 24 HOURS. ONCE I CONFIRMED THAT I WANTED THE WORK COMPLETED, HE COMPLETED IT ON THE DAY HE STATED. HIS WORK WAS QUALITY AND HE CLEANED UP AFTER HIMSELF. ONE COMPLAINT IS THAT HE QUOTED TREATED LUMBER BUT USED UNTREATED. HE STATED AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED THAT TREATED WAS NOT NECESSARY. I AGREE. HOWEVER, I PROVIDED HIM FEEDBACK THAT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE FOR HIM TO CHANGE MATERIALS WITHOUT HIM CONTACTING ME IN ADVANCE. HE DID REDUCE THE AMOUNT OWED TO REFLECT THE LESS EXPENSIVE MATERIALS.

ROGER COMPLETED THE WORK ON A TIMELY BASIS, AND WE ARE PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME. HE WAS EASY TO WORK WITH, PRESENTED A PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATE AND, OVERALL, DID A QUALITY JOB. THE ONE AREA OF IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE MAINTAINING APPOINTMENTS. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHERE ROGER EITHER DID NOT SHOW OR CAME VERY LATE, AND I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED A PHONE CALL IN ADVANCE.

ROGER'S DAUGHTER ANSWERED PHONE AND PROVIDED ANOTHER NUMBER. ROGER MADE APPOINTMENT TO BID PROJECT. I TOOK OFF WORK AND WAITED FOR HIS ARRIVAL. NEVER SHOWED UP. COULD NOT REACH ROGER TO DETERMINE IF HE WOULD ARRIVE AT A LATER TIME OR IF HE WAS A DEFINITE NO SHOW.

ROGER HOFFMAN OF CARPENTRY PLUS IS PROFESSIONAL IN EVERY WAY. WHEN GIVING ME THE ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK, HE ARRIVED ON TIME, WAS EXTREMELY POLITE, DEMONSTRATED DETAILED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EVERY FACET OF CARPENTRY AND GENERAL CONTRACTING--IN SHORT, AN ABSOLUTE GEM IN THE PROFESSION. ON THE DAY OF THE PROJECT, HE ARRIVED ON TIME AND WITH AN EMPLOYEE AS PROFESSIONAL AND POLITE AS HE IS HIMSELF. FOUR HOURS LATER, THE WORK WAS DONE. BEAUTIFULLY. I FOUND THE PRICING WELL WITHIN REASON--AFTER ALL, CHANGING ENTRY DOORS AROUND IS NOT SOMETHING AN AVERAGE HOMEOWNER NEEDS TO BE DOING ON HIS/HER OWN. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CARPENTRY PLUS AND ROGER HOFFMAN.

ROGER AND HIS COWORKER WERE GREAT. ROGER STEPPED IN WHEN ANOTHER CONTRACTOR ABANDONED THE JOB. HE WAS VERY AMENABLE TO WORKING WITH ME TO GETTING THE SIDING JOB DONE, AS SOON AS THE WEATHER WARMED UP THIS SPRING. THE JOB TOOK FAR LESS TIME THAN THE FIRST CONTRACTOR HAD ESTIMATED. ROGER PROPOSED A BETTER WAY TO INSTALL THE NEW SIDING. I ALSO HIRED ROGER TO DO SOME INTERIOR PLASTER REPAIR AT THE END OF THIS JOB (THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL WHERE THE SIDING WAS REPLACED). THAT TURNED OUT GREAT TOO. I FOUND ROGER EASY TO TALK TO, AND WOULD HIRE HIS COMPANY FOR OTHER JOBS IN THE FUTURE. I HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN WHILE THE WORK WAS GOING ON. SO I WOULD KNOW THE INSULATION AND UNDERLYING BEAMS WITH ANT DAMAGE WERE REPAIRED PROPERLY, ROGER VOLUNTEERED TO TAKE PHOTOS AS THE WORK PROGRESSED THAT I NOW HAVE AS A RECORD.

WOULD RECOMMEND.

THEY WERE GREAT.

MR. HOFFMAN WAS PROFESSIONAL, PROMPT AND ALWAYS RETURNED PHONE CALLS. THE EXTERIOR OF OUR HOME WAS SO CLEAN I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN HE WAS EVEN THERE HAD I NOT LOOKED UP AT THE REPAIRED SOFFITS. HE ALSO REMOVED A LARGE MUD DAUBER NEST THAT WAS EXPOSED WHEN HE REMOVED THE DAMAGED MATERIAL BEFORE COMPLETING THE REPAIR.

ROGER AND HIS PARTNER CURTIS CAME OUT TO DO THE WORK. THEY WERE BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONABLE. WE FELT THEY DID VERY GOOD WORK AT A REASONABLE PRICE.

HE IS REALLY RELIABLE AND PROFESSIONAL.

HIS ESTIMATE WAS IN THE RIGHT BALL PARK, HE IS SKILLFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE.

HE IS VERY RELIABLE, RETURNS CALLS PROMPTLY, IS PRICED REASONABLY AND DOES EXCELLENT WORK. EVRYONE ELSE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND. HE HAD TO WORK ON SCAFFOLDING ON THE THIRD STORY. GREAT WORK!

WE THINK THEY'RE GOOD.
