Thomas Horgan Carpenter & Builder

Tom did an excellent job in expanding my 1920's house. The addition was a 1st floor and 2nd floor addition including a family room, half bath, coat closet and master bedroom, closet and bath, and new laundry room. He was highly collaborative with my architect and me, and always forward thinking and solution oriented. I love the addition and the way it blends seamlessly with my existing house! I also enjoyed the process and dealing with Tom personally as well as the trades he employed.

We were out of the country while the work was done at the house. That was great for us and Tom. Also we missed the "winter" of 2014 :) Tom was excellent in working with us in the planning and procurement stage and even went tile and fixture shopping with us. So, when we left for Italy the plans were all set and the fixtures were purchased. As Tom performed work he would advise us by e-mail and would also send videos (posted on YouTube) of work in different stages. So, we were able to "see" what was being done. That was terrific When we returned at the end of May, we were very please with the results. There were a couple of minor points (which is normal) that had to be addressed. We finalized that list in June. The major items have been fixed (we liked a different mirror), However we are still waiting for a couple of details to be corrected. Yes we did pay the full amount in May, before we returned home. Tom is that trustworthy! Jim Glasgow

I asked to schedule an appointment for an estimate. He responded that I was too far away, even though I'm in a county he claims as his service area, and I'm less than 20 miles away.

I left messages asking to discuss projects I have. My calls were never returned, i expected a bit more professionalism, at least a call from an assistant saying "we are not interested" would have been good.

Thomas replaced skylights and a window for us as well as some other incidental jobs. His work is perfect.

We are coming up on Day 25 since this contractor was in my home. He was recommended to me by a friend who knew someone who had used Mr. Horgan's company for a kitchen project, so he came highly recommended. I checked Angie's List and the referrals were all glowing. I felt positive about contacting his company. After his visit to my home, about 10 days later, I submitted an email on his company's website, asking when I could expect to hear from him regarding this portion of the process. I indicated that I wasn't trying to rush him, but that I was wondering when I might expect to receive an email regarding the aforementioned information of which he spoke. I thought that was the appropriate approach. No response. So, after a few days I thought perhaps he didn't see the website inquiry, so I proceeded to leave a voicemail for him. Again, I just inquired about how long this first step in the process would take and could he please call me at his convenience. Nothing. Just the sound of crickets. Without a doubt, my kitchen project is not going to be a McMansion-type kitchen. So perhaps when he saw the scope of the project, he decided he wasn't interested and just took the measurements, pretended like he was interested, but decided on the spot that he wasn't going to get back to me. Quite honestly, I would rather have had him tell me that up front. That would have been the professional way in which to handle the situation. But to pretend like he was interested and then not return calls was completely rude, in my opinion. He was unprofessional and if anyone ever asks for a kitchen referral from me, I will be certain to tell them who NOT to contact.

The service was excellent. He is very easy to work with. He has great suggestions. He is a carpenter by trade so the carpentry work was excellent. It was all custom made. He is very responsive to requests. He is reasonably priced for what you get. He stuck to the budget. He came up with a very creative idea. He custom made our windows because they did not need to be functional. He saved us a lot of money with cost saving ideas.

The rollers on a very heavy, 94 inch high Pella sliding door to the patio had broken down. The door was from the early 70s. Unfortunately, no easy way to replace the rollers. Tom Horgan came by as scheduled and confirmed the need for replacement of the whole unit. He then sent over three of his men to exchange this kitchen/patio door with the identical door in the dining room which is never used and slides perfecly. That got us up and going so again we could access the patio from the kitchen. I'll need to decide whether I want to now replace the whole window/door unit or simply continue to use the one from the dining room. His charge for $90 was most fair given it takes two, preferably three men to dismount and move the doors

told what type of locks to get and picked out my own style, he put them in and now I have good locks and handles on my doors

Excellent. Came quickly and repaired troublesome cabinets. Other work to be completed

Thomas Horgan Carpenter and Builder has excellent people skills. He works hard. Prices were good. I will continue to use him.

We enjoyed working with Tom on our kitchen window replacement project. He was very helpful in getting window estimates and helping us to get some price reductions from the window suppliers. The project went very smoothly, and we are very happy with the new windows. They look great, and we are confident that we won't have any wood rot issues since the windows are aluminum clad and were installed properly.

The job was started on time and was finished more quickly than we expected. The workers were neat and courteous.

The work was started when scheduled and finished on time. Tom Horgan work if beautiful and he is very neat. He had a lot of very good suggestions. I would recommend him to anyone needing work on their house. I have seen houses that he as built and they are beautiful and constructed very well.

Overall it went good. Starting with the Architect, Peter Batchler, he did the plans to exactly the way we wanted. Meetings with Township officials and engineers Tom did on schedule. The selections on from roofing shingles, windows and doors, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, hardwood flooring, tile floors, custom cabinetry, granite counter tops, were all the best.
