Randy and his framer showed up on time, were professional, and performed quality work. The only draw back was that the job took nearly twice as long as expected due to the wiring and moving switches. The Angie's big deal was $129 for four hours. It ended up costing another $270. I'm thrilled with the outcome and would hire Randy again. He's a very kind, honest, and skilled carpenter.
Description of Work: Expanded two kitchen entry ways an additional 14 inches. They cut out the openings, moved swtitches, installed new headers, and hung dry wall. I still had to mud, sand, and paint the walls.

He was fine. He did all of this work over a period of about a month. However, I was real impressed. I plan to continue to do business with him. We have already started talking about our next project.
Description of Work: He built some shelving in our garage, tightening some chairs in our breakfast nook and re afflixed a base board in our lower level. He did alot for alittle.

I purchased a coupon from Angie's List for 4 hours of carpentry work in order to have some doors fixed in my home. I had two interior doors that were a mess - warped, bent hinges, and even pieces of the frame that had been broken when the doors were forced open after the locks stuck. Since we don't have a Lowe's or similar store in our area, Randy counseled me over the phone with regards to what materials to buy so that I could have everything on hand when he arrived (so that my time wasn't wasted driving somewhere to pick up materials). The hardest part of this business was working out an appointment time. Randy was very busy due to the success of his Angie's List promotion, so the work was scheduled nearly a month after I first contacted him. However, Randy was very skilled and professional. He did an excellent job on the doors and frames, and he was even willing to stay a little longer (for a fair price) to replace my front door as well. Clean-up was thorough and the work is top quality. I will definitely hire Randy again next time I need carpentry services.
Description of Work: Replaced two interior doors and door frames (including new molding), and replaced a front door and frame.

My garage door was hitting a beam when I open the door preventing the door from opening. He removed the beam and put a replacement beam up higher to prevent it from hitting. I am so happy that I can open the door now. I am very happy with the job he done. He also done some work on area in my kitchen and a bathroom a wall and a ceiling. I will be using him again.

It was OK. I ended up using him for some things that I never thought I would use him for but it was still fine. He could have done what I wanted but the estimate was a little more than what I wanted to spend. But he ended doing a lot of different things for us that we needed to have done which was done in a n absolutely great manner. So he made up for the other services he didn't do. He actually offered to do extra things for us that we didn't even know he could have done.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal service from Van Winsen Custom Carpentry for carpentry for 4 hours of interior general carpentry work. He put in a ceiling fan in our family room, he fixed some woodwork that we needed to have done for another project, he put up a chandelier in the dining room along with several other light fixtures.

I called and spoke to Randy on 9/3/13. He said he was doing a tile job in a nearby area and was interested in coming by to see the work needed. I told him I would be home until 3:00pm and gave him my cell phone number, indicating it was easier to reach me that way. He called back around 2:40pm on the home phone, when I was getting ready to leave and said he would not be able to stop by that day, but he would try again on Wednesday or Thursday. I said Thursday would be a good day for me. He said he would call again to confirm. I have not heard from him since.
Description of Work: I made a Big Deal purchase with Randy Van Winsen.

Randy was timely, courteous and did a quality job. Pleasant experience.
Description of Work: My storm door screws had pulled out of the wood door frame causing the door to drag. Randy was able to re-enforce the screws and patch the wood around the hinge. He also cut and installed toe rails.

It was excellent. They didn't charge me more than the big deal purchase. They came and it was around my schedule. We just worked many times with him before he got here. I mean he's just a really cool guy. He did an excellent job. He did it way better than it was before.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal for Van Winsen Custom Carpentry. The deal was for four hours of interior. He repaired a door for me and he replaced the floorboard under my sink. My sink has a storage area in it, he replaced that.

We purchased the Big Deal for $99, (4 hrs of work for $99). The first time I called Randy he was very friendly and we set up a time for him to come and look at the projects. He showed up on time and took time to look at all the projects and also to make sure we got as much bang for our buck. We then agreed on a time for him to come and perform everything. The work he performed was great, better than we had hoped. There was one glitch, the molding on our door is an odd size so he didn't have that with him, but he has found where he can get that size and is going to return at a later date to finish that up. Overall we couldn't be happier with how the work turned out! We would definitely use Randy again!

I called Randy about installing a pocket door for a walk in closet project. Randy answered his phone on my first attempt to reach him, we spoke breifly and scheduled and appointment for the following day. Randy was punctual to our meeting and very knowledgable about the work I was requesting a bid on. He got back to me the same day with a fair bid and began work at my home the next business day. Fotunately he was able to work me in while he was on another larger project near my neighborhood. My experience with Randy was excellent and I have every intension of using him again in the near future.

We discovered Randy when we visited a friend and saw their new covered/screened deck. They highly recommended him. It was a very pleasant experience, unlike the building of our home! Randy listens, offers advice, ideas, and is very professional. They clean up everyday, and were very respectful of our home and time. He is very busy, so sometimes there was a slight delay, but overall, he was punctual. We wouldn't use anyone else for that type of work. We actually missed him and his crew when they finished the work. He is a very nice person, too.
Description of Work: Randy finished our 2800 SF basement. He built cabinets/shelving, deluxe bar with appliances, walls, tile, plumbing, lighting, carpet, electric fire place, everything we wanted.
