Brendan came over and looked at the deck and said he would provide a quote to correct a few things that were not done properly. I spoke to him once, 2 weeks ago and he said he would provide the quote. I have contacted him at least 3 times and he has not provided the quote or answered my voice mails or text messages which is unprofessional. If he was not interested or did not want to do the work, he should have let me know. I now have wasted 2 weeks and have to find another contractor.
Description of Work: I had Brendan come and look at my deck for some repairs that needed fixed that were not done correctly by my original contractor.

Mr. Laffey was friendly and reassuring that the work required would be minor. He said he was very busy this week but that he would come back to make the repairs as soon as possible. In the meanwhile, another company (Ron Kahler) also answered my initial request for an estimate the next day. He also said it was a minor job and offered to do the work immediately so I said OK. That repair went fine. I would still review Laffey Carpentry positively for courtesy and efficient service.
Description of Work: I called three companies listed on Angie's list and requested an estimate for repairs to the frame of an old grape arbor in my yard that had started to fall down. Mr. Laffey answered my call promptly and visited my home the next day. He inspected the arbor and gave my an estimate of less than $100.

He was very professional...did a great job and is very willing to come back for other issues in the future...I am asking him to also give me a bid on my little deck. He did a great job with putting the shelves together and hanging them...I was so happy that he was willing to do this small job. I am so glad to have found him and will certainly call on him again!!!! Awesome job!!!!! Susan
Description of Work: Brendan Laffy put up some shelves, hung a wall hanging and hung 2 pictures.

It went ok My impression was he was glad to get the work and wanted a good review. I needed more work done at another location so I ask for an estimate on that work. He came over and gave me the estimate. I was very busy because I do tax returns and was going on vacation so I ask him to schedule for late May or early June. He never called to set up the date. I called him twice since and he NEVER returned my calls I am left to find another contractor to do this work and I thought we had a deal He should have returned my calls - that would have been the professional thing to do. I do not recommend this provider.
Description of Work: Repaired deck steps.

We bought two pieces of butcher block counter tops (96" x 25" x 1.5") and (73" x 25" x 1.5") to make desks out of. I wanted somene to make a clean cut to take the depth from 25" to 21" and also cut the smaller piece down to 44" from 73". I did not want to do it myself on such long pieces.I called Mr. Laffey on Saturday and described what I needed. He said he can it and gave me a price over the phone. I later texted him our address and he got back to me with a date and time. He showed up right on time and performed the work very professionally. He made sure the edges were clean and straight (using a planer) and he also rounded the cut edges for a smooth clean finish. It was more work than I expected so I'm very happy.In summary he was proffessional, prompt, did a great job and charged the price he originally quoted. I could not be more satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: Cutting two pieces of 1.5" think butcher block counter tops. One is 8 feet and the other 6 feet.
