Description of Work: Repaired slate roof after providing us with pictures taken as part of estimate--no charge. He replaced the scupper, repaired and resurfaced the valley (an odd configuration) He also replace the heating cable in order to avoid the ice dam backup that caused the problem in the first place. He was very thorough, explained everything carefully. Couldn't have been more professional. We will keep him as our roofing expert.
Nick has done several jobs for me. He is an excellent carpenter but also I have had him doing ceiling patching work and installed a new entry door. In all cases he has worked very carefully and everything has been very satisfactory. He always has good suggestions of how to do a job and is very clever with his solutions. He is also very flexible and will do what most pleases his customer. His prices are very fair. I would definitely have him back and in fact already have several jobs for him in the future.
Description of Work: Nick replaced a kitchen floor and a floor by an entry door. He also replaced two windows.The floors were ceramic and required a 1/2 inch hard backer. He also added baseboard molding and quarter round molding around all the areas, replaced the threshold to the outside door (and cut the door down) and installed beveled transitions at the entry ways to the ceramic floors. The windows required some carpentry to fit the new windows. They were installed and caulked.

Nick's work created a stunning look for the front of our house. He understands architectural styles and pays attention to every detail. When components of our house were missing, say the design on the font of the dormer, he looked at neighbors' houses for the missing details and restored ours in stylistically consistent way. He's one of few carpenters who specializes in restoring the facade of older homes, but he can handle well many jobs beyond facades. Other highlights: - Nick is a pleasure to work and talk with. - Nick always returned our calls quickly. - He took time to explain to us what he was doing and what he planed on accomplishing for the day. He would let us know his plans for the following day, when he would arrive, and if he needed anything from us. - He's extremely honest. E.g.: when he saw that the fascia and crown were in good condition, he credited us the amount of that work in the estimate. We highly recommend Nick for any carpentry job and have hired him again to replace a door and a window and add two screen doors to our house.
Description of Work: Nick restored the front of our old Lawrenceville house, especially the cornice. He repaired the frieze board, frieze board trim, crown, lattice, intermediate and corner corbels, as well as the dormer window and the wood trim around the dormer and five other windows. He removed all aluminum from the soffit, fascia, and windows.

Nick did a great job! He spent two days for the job which was difficult because of several unexpected conditions that required some replacement of the trim and good carpentry skills. Yet he only charged an extra $10 for materials. He was extremely meticulous in making sure everything was level and fitted properly. The time taken was worth it because the doors work perfectly. I plan to have him back to install a Pergo floor and perform several other projects. He is prompt, very reasonable and does expert work. He is also very pleasant, is very flexible and tries to please.
Description of Work: Nick removed and replaced an entry door and storm door. Because it is an old house, it took quite a bit of work to replace the trim and fit the new doors.

Nick was outstanding in all the work he did for me. The stained glass windows were carefully repaired and installed. They now work perfectly and go up and down. The window makes our house look so much better. The ceiling repair was equally outstanding and the new pieces of ceiling board he installed can barely be detected even with a close look. He is a very pleasant person and his prices are very reasonable. He obviously takes great pride in his work and seemed as excited with the results as me. He was on time and always promptly called back. I plan to have him back to do some additional cabinet work in my basement.
Description of Work: Nick repaired major cracks in the ceiling plaster in two rooms. I had hired Nick's brother George Lardas to paint these rooms. George (who I had found on Angie's List) recommended Nick to do this repair work. I found out that Nick was a carpenter who had experience in restoring old houses in Lawrenceville, including stain glass windows. Nick eagerly took on a project to replace a double hung window with a stained glass window of identical dimensions (that had been removed from a twin house).
