I am so pleased with their work that I plan on having them return this summer to renovate two bathrooms, one of which was "renovated" poorly by the national franchise mentioned earlier. I have learned a very painful lesson - avoid dealing with a national franchise unless it's The Olive Garden. Choose local quality craftsmen recommended on Angie's List!
Description of Work: After dealing with the incompetence and indifference of two (2) national franchises over a four-year period hired because they were "preferred contractors," according to my insurance company, I was stuck with shoddy workmanship in the restoration and renovation of an extensively water-damaged hallway and kitchen (not to mention other rooms in the house). I'd had enough! A very recent subscriber to Angie's List, I soon learned that had I had access to Angie's List four years ago, I would never have hired either of the two franchises, "preferred" contractors or not. Fortunately, I found The Carpenter's Sons, one of Angie's List's highly recommended general contracting sites in this area. I had originally intended just to have someone come in and finish off the wreckage with a coat of paint or two and a lot of caulking just to end the misery. However, in the course of examining the damage left by the other contractors, Dan, The Carpenter's Son's contractor, pointed out so clearly and knowledgeably the errors and difficiencies of the earlier "repairs" without my prompting that I practically hired him on the spot. In short, drywall was so poorly sanded that it had to be sanded properly; outside corners had to be redone; baseboard and crown molding had to be removed and recut (or replaced) to fit tightly against the walls and ceiling; a bulge in the ceiling where ceiling met the wall and crown molding had to be sanded so crown molding would fit properly; sloppy painting overlap on cabinets removed; hallway, kitchen walls, ceiling, window trim, crown molding and baseboard painted. Also, in the course of their work, Dan discovered that the screws used to install the cabinets (installed by Paul Davis Restoration and Renovation) are not the type screws required to hang cabinets! What a surprise! Anyway, The Carpenter's Sons came through for me. Also, the work areas were kept clean and neat over the two days they worked in the house.

Dan was the most complete bid received. He was willing to provide a free estimate and he showed up on time for the estimate appointment unlike many of the other contractors offer the opportunity to bid. Dan started the job on time and completed it on schedule and on budget which we appreciated because he was able to give us our home back for the Christmas holiday season. All of the work was completed in a quality manner as well as the work area was was kept clean and orderly during the work and cleaned up after. Dan operates his business with honesty and integrity. Carpenter's Son is a business that we would turn to for future projects.
Description of Work: Dan completed a repairs to our formal living room including drywall repair & replacement, trim repair and replacement plus finish paint work to the walls and trim.

I would rate the quality of their work as excellent. They did most of the work themselves but called in sub contractors if needed. When my basement flooded they were there the next day and really did a great job cleaning up and drying everything out. They really pay attention to details always cleaned up after themselves and you could see they take pride in their work. They are very polite and friendly . I think their prices were reasonable and would not hesitate to use them for any new projects. The only drawback I could possibly see is that they are pretty busy and somtimes you have to wait awhile to get your project started.
Description of Work: I have used the Carpenters son for many projects going back to 2010 when I called them to take care of a water tank that broke and flooded my basement. Besides remodeling they specialize in smoke and water damage clean up and repair. They went on to completely refinish my basemant including adding a kitchen. They replaced my large deck and painted all my ceilings including a two story Foyer. They also partially remodeled a bathroom and added outside lights. This was done in stages since 2010

Since we were blessed with great weather, this job went very well. The workmen arrived on time everyday, and did a great job.
Description of Work: The owner of The Carpenter Sons Home Services, Dan Miller, referred us to Huggler & Son Masonry. They removed the existing brick and masonry on the north wall of our house, and found water, and mold. They then recommended an experienced contractor to take care of mold and the water problems ,he replaced damaged and rotted material and some other problems we were not even aware of that existed. Huggler and Son then replaced all the old brick and mortar with new material, and sealed everything. My husband and I went very impressed with their workmanship and skill, knowing what caused the problem and how to proceed to solve it, and the new wall looks wonderful.

Spoke on the phone and understood that a company representative would be out to give an estimate. No one stopped by that I am aware and no estimate was received. I have other work I will be doing over the next year or two that will be more substantial, but will not call this company. If a company can't show me the courtesy of showing up or calling back with an explanation, I will move on to the next guy.

They were very satisfactory and did an excellent job, but it did take a little longer than we'd expected. The people they brought in to do the chimney also did an excellent job.
Description of Work: They did some work on our patio and they re-roofed our pool shed. They also re-roofed a portion of an overhang over our family room and powerwashed and painted our fence.

Dan (owner of the Carpenter's Sons) quickly contacted me and made me aware of the additional damage that was found and talked me through a plan to get everything corrected. Dan was very proactive in working with my insurance company (Traveler's) to ensure that all the damage was covered and the home was returned to its existing condition prior to the damage. Without Dan, I'm unsure that I would have been successful with achieving a positive outcome with Traveler's. Dan went above and beyond and routinely kept me updated with progress and the plan for moving forward. My career has been to write contracts for the Department of Defense for the last 15 years and for many of those years I wrote minor construction contracts. In all my dealings with contractors, I have never encountered another company (or individual) so willing to help and make things as minimally stressful as possible. Working with the insurance and mortgage company to get the contractors paid has been a very time consuming task for me. Never once during the process has Dan questioned the delays in payment and has been very patient and trusting of me. As I write this review, I still owe The Carpenter's Sons an unpaid balance -- again, Dan has not called questioning me at all. If you need work done, make the Carpenter's Sons your first contact. You will be very pleased with the quality of work and the professionalism of the employees.
Description of Work: In August of 2011 a tree uprooted and fell on my house. Needless to say, significant damages occurred to the exterior of the home. Initially, interior damage was thought to be minor and the Carpenter's Sons were originally contacted to complete an "easy" paint job. Upon commencement of work, the Carpenter's Sons quickly recognized that the extent of damage to the interior or our home was significantly more than anticipated. Work completed: - Moisture remediation - Mold remediation - Foam insulation - Drywall - Extensive molding and trim work - Painting (walls, trim, and ceilings)

Called for an estimate, was told they would respond in a week or so, got a call apologizing for delay told, another week or so. That was the last contact with this company. Very unprofessional. If they were too busy to respond, just tell me. The only reason I gave them a "D" and not an "F" was for the first call back.

Response from THE CARPENTER'S SONS
We appreciate the member's request for service which came last Fall during the 3rd rainy flooding period in our area in 2011. We told the member that it would take a week or two to get out to his home due to all of the flooding and roof leaking calls we had been responding to. We spoke with him on the phone two weeks later and I told him that I would not be out but that Bob, my mason would be calling to set up a time to come out. Bob told me that he placed 4 or 5 calls to the member during the 3rd week but did not get a call back. I told my chimney mason not to make any further calls. I apologized to the member, but stated when it rains and floods like it did last year our first priority is to handle the insurance company calls and flood victim calls to pump out flooded buildings.

Great job, much of it done while I was out-of-state. Went above and beyond, even matching paint colors whee needed. Easy to work with. Just one minor quibble: they could have cleaned up a bit more around the sink they were using to clean their brushes. Highly recommend.

Description of Work: I used The Carpenter's Sons about two years ago during late summer to help us to take the carpet up to dry it out and to get rid of the molds as our basement had flooded. They had to do some drywall and then dry the carpet out. Because there were some molds in the drywall they had to remove it and replace it.

Although I only dealt with him on the phone, he was very nice and professional. I was given an estimate very promptly. I would have gone with this company, however I decided to get a chimney liner also and I was told they would have to use another chimney company for that part of the job. I decided to go with a company that specialized in chimney work providing the masonry work I needed along with the liner installation.
Description of Work: I left a message for this company and my call was promptly returned. I explained that I needed masonry work to rebuild my chimney above the roofline and some mortar repair about two feet below the roofline. The man said he would send somone out to take a look for an estimate. I did not have to home. After a couple of days, he called back and gave me a comparable estimate to the other two I received.

Great - prompt, professional, quality service. He would not accept payment until the job was complete. We wanted to get the power washing done because we were putting the house up for sale. The clean outside of the house helped us get us an offer on the house.

We had them over to do an estimate on a bunch of work throughout the house (thousands of dollars) and they never gave us the estimate and never called us back. Left us hanging for 2 weeks. I called and they said they were busy and lost a staff member and were falling behind, but have not heard from them again. Disappointing.

Response from THE CARPENTER'S SONS
Unfortunately, this member called us at a very busy time for the company. They had a lot of ideas for work that needed to be done and weren't sure what they were going to do on their own, what they wanted other contractors to do, and what they wanted us to do - so the job was a little unclear. At that time, our plumbing and shower guy had retired, and when I last spoke with the member, he said he had received other estimates. It seemed like they did not need us so we never sent an estimate over. We apologize if they felt slighted. Please see our numerous other reviews for a more accurate representation of our quality of work and customer service.

Their responsiveness and professionalism were good. I would say they are eager and they provided a good, written estimate. I thought the estimate was a little bit skewed in terms of the cost of wall paper removal versus the cost of the painting. I would have expected the paper removal being the more expensive part of the job but it was the reverse with them and I questioned that. Their overall cost was the highest I received of three bids. I've just decided to hold off on the project until next summer.

I found the Carpenter's Son with a web search, contacted them and asked for an estimate. Within a day I had received an e-mail and a phone call from Dan Miller. I asked him to come out and have a look, and within another several days, had an appraisal and estimate. Being under time constraints, and, having already moved, I appreciated his quick response, and went ahead and arranged for the work to be done. I mailed him a check, they did the work, all without my ever having met them. When we got a look at the chimney, we saw that they'd done great work, and, the buyers were similarly impressed. Highly recommend them. Their phone number: 1-800-324-2887 Their e-mail: thecarpenterssons@comcast.net

I originally contacted The Carpenter's Son to do the interior painting of my daughter's townhouse, as the company was listed under Interior Painting. However, when I met with Dan, I discovered he was a general contractor who has extensive experience in home repair and remodeling. Since I live in another state than my daughter, it was a real blessing to me to find Dan. He was able to do everything I needed done to update/remodel the townhouse and get it on the market to sell in just a few short weeks.. I was really worried about how I was going to get everything done on the house and coordinate it all, not knowing the area and service providers. But Dan and his wonderful crew just stepped in and took that burden right off my shoulders and went to work. Dan is a very well trained contractor with years of experience who is able to do anything you ask of him. When he ran into problems in the remodel, he offered various suggestions on how we could correct the problems and as inexpensively as possible. There were also a few things Dan did at no additional cost to me, which was a big help financially. Dan and his crew were always on time and let me know what their plans were for that day and the next. Dan is an extremely nice man and very easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable in his field and can make various suggestions on ways to tackle getting the job done, from bare bones to higher end fixes. There are not enough words of praise for Dan, The Carpenter's Sons, and his crew. They take great pride in their workmanship and are very easy to work with and a pleasure to have in your home at all times. I give The Carpenter's Sons an A+++++++++++++++++++++++ rating. You will be very pleased with any work you hire them for. I know I was.
