Finish Carpentry Services

Mike is a rarity! We are so pleased we found and used Mike for our staircase remodel and echo all of the points made in prior Angie's List reviews. He is not rushed. He values craftsmanship, the details, and ensuring the project is completed the right way the first time. He is extremely thorough, professional and communicative. Imagine that! He is also extremely responsive and professional. While he admittedly doesn't move as fast as he used to, that was not a problem for us at all. We would rather have someone take their time and do the job the right way than work hurriedly. His pricing was fair and he is willing to do both small and large jobs. We will absolutely use him again for our finish carpentry needs.

Michael is a master craftsman and works extremely hard to get the job done correctly. He is very patient and doesn't take shortcuts and we were very satisfied with the finished project. He is a pleasure to have onsite and always had great communication with us. His price was fair and reasonable. I have already referred him to others and will continue to do so!

This could not have gone better! Mr. Siegrist is a true craftsman and consummate professional. From our first interaction, Michael did everything any homeowner would hope for. He is a communicator. He is punctual, hard-working, meticulous and a perfectionist. Despite it being a relatively small job he made us feel that we were his most important customer. I could not recommend Michael Siegrist more highly.

Finish Carpentry Services did a wonderful job with great attention to detail. Mr. Siegrist designed and built a mantel with Shaker style panel work. The pilasters below the mantel shelf have panels on three sides and a pair of short panels below the mantle shelf above the fire box. Above the mantle shelf is a large two layer panel with pilasters on the left and right directly above the pilasters below. The mantel has 2 ft. wide side walls with two Shaker style panels each. The top of the mantel is finished with a wood soffit to fit to the sloped ceiling and a decorative crown molding. A vacuum system was used to contain the dust while sanding. The quality, workmanship, and customer service is five stars! This project was our first project to use Finish Carpentry, and we would definitely use this company again for future projects and highly recommend to others.

Michael did a great job installing several Andersen windows in my home, and also repaired the front door and added very nice latches on both porch doors. Very professional work, will hire again.

Michael replaced the cabinet face frame piece below the television to provide a consistent space on all four sides between tv and cabinet. He then fabricated and installed a small trim molding around perimeter of opening to provide a more finished look." The work completed is "replace rot damaged and split staircase step boards as needed

Michael Siegrist is a remarkable craftsman. He was very easy to work with and explained in great detail the work that had to be done to get the result we desired. WE made an error in design that he was able to remedy after he had built and installed the over windows bookcase and computer cabinet. This was our fault and remarkably he was willing and fully able to make the modifications we requested. The project is complete and we are totally satisfied.

Mike thoroughly explained the labor involved for my project, and after understanding what the cost would be, I realized it would exceed my budget.

Excellent. He's just very specific and he likes details to make sure it's done perfectly that's why we're going have him come back because we are satisfied. Would recommend to anyone who ask.

The project was a total success. He delivered what he promised and much more. He was on time and left my home clean everyday. His understanding and years of experience in the finishing carpentry profession is one of his greatest assets. He is easy going and polite, but what is equally as important, if not more important, is the fact that he gets the job done on time and right the first time. He is a woodworking magician. From a satisfied customer of Finish Carpentry Services.

Mike is very meticulous with his work; a true craftsman. Because of his extensive experience he was able to make good suggestions as to how to achieve the look we wanted. He has built relationships with various suppliers that ensure materials are delivered in a timely manner. Mike not only replaced the floor boards and stairs with top quality wood, but went the extra mile and added new stringers to bring everything up to code and ensure that the new steps and floor would not warp in the future. We are very happy with the results.

Michael did a great job repairing my front porch handrails and steps that were loose and rotted. He replaced rotted wood, resunk four handrails in cement and did an nice job ensuring everything was tight. He is very conscientious and shows up on time. I will hire again for other carpentry needs.

Excellent workmanship and beautifully fit into an old house where walls have imperfections.

Michael is a master carpenter. He has also done other work for us & does excellent work

We are very happy with Michael’s work. He is thorough and conscientious. He gave us numerous options for new screen doors and hardware. There was a small problem with the doors and he was able to fix it seamlessly. Highly recommend and would hire again. This is the second time he has worked on our house.

The project went well. I recommend Finish Carpentry. Good service and fair prices.

Michael Siegrist redid our back screened in deck with IPE wood. He also did other much needed repairs on the back deck. Additional repairs were only done after discussion and he always gave an accurate estimate of cost. He was meticulous and thorough. He made sure the job was done properly. He is punctual and kept me informed of his progress. If he couldn't be here to work, he always let us know. We have been very happy with his work and definitely will call him again in the future.

This man is horrible. Personally I think there is something wrong with him mentally. I’m shocked he has good ratings. Last February I was interviewing carpenters to build bookshelves and he came to my old house so I could show him what I wanted in my new house I was building. He went on and on how great he was and detailed. He was annoying. My gut told me something was not right with the guy. I then called him to follow up and he gave me some excuse about his back and it would take a long time, blah blah. FF to now. That house I was building fell through, so I started all over and closed on a new one end of December. I had a carpenter and unfortunately he has turned out to not show up. I will write a bad review on him too. So I started to look again. I did not remember this guy’s name. I saw this company and the name did not click until I heard his voice. I was nice and said I remembered him. He lives very close by and I said I could see him the next day. He said fine. This was around 10 am. Around 4:30 pm he has the nerve to call me and goes into this long story about how he hurt his back a few months ago and wasn’t sure how quickly he could do the job. I cut him off and said “ it’s fine, I found someone “ and hung up. I am shocked that Angie’s List has this guy on. He is old and I think he is going senile. Stay away from him.

Mike is, by far, the most absolutely professional contractor we have ever dealt with. Mike explained everything he was going to do in a step-by-step manner yet still did not come across as condescending. He advised us of the cost and I was actually surprised that it was much lower than I had anticipated. Mike got a B for punctuality because he missed one appointment, but he quickly realized what had happened and made it right. After having dealt with more than a handful of no-show contractors, it was refreshing to work with someone who not only recognized a problem but also corrected that problem right away. As for the work, we couldn't be happier. Mike is obviously a skilled craftsman. We needed a door jamb extension and a threshold for our front exterior door. Mike came by, took photos, notes, and pictures of our door. He was very attentive and patiently listened to me try to explain what was needed. After listening, Mike explained what needed to be done and that he would have to get back in touch with me with a quote. I figured he'd be like the other contractors I dealt with and that I wouldn't hear back from him, but true to his word, I heard back with the quote. Mike showed up exactly when he said he would and he got right to work. I wish I could be more technical with this review, but I don't know the first thing about woodworking. What I do know is that the front door looks fantastic now, and the threshold matches the oak floors we have. What makes me even happier is that Mike took some blocks of wood and created a doorstop for us so the doorknob wouldn't damage the wall. Little things like that are what separate honest craftsmen, people who truly care about the service they provide, from churn and burn contractors. It's quite obvious that Mike takes pride in his work, and he should. We will definitely get back in touch with Mike at Finish Carpentry Services if we are ever in the need of a carpenter again. We were very pleased with Mike's professionalism and we couldn't be happier with the results from his work. Thanks, Mike!

Very professional with many years of experience. A master carpenter! Good communicator, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.

From the initial planning/design thru the completion Mike was meticulous and thorough. He always cleaned up the work area of debris and all tools. He was very punctual and polite. My wife and I were 100% pleased and have enthusiastically recommended him.

Michael does excellent work and takes pride in it. He was timely in getting the job done and exceptionally neat during the work and in his cleanup. His materials are excellent as is his workmanship with quality tools perfectly suited to the job. The resulting living room mantle, shown in the picture with this review, is distinctive and has drawn many exclamations of approval from our guests and we're delighted with the results ourselves. Michael could not have been more pleasant to work with in every phase of the project. The painting was done after he completed the finished carpentry work.

After contacting Mike he answered in less than a day. Mike came over looked at designed and most important, "He Listened To What We Wanted." Over the next week he bid on the job and was the fastest to respond and was very reasonable. He started the next day building at his location and then moved materials over to install and build. It was done in about 7 days. He is pays very close to details and thought of things we did not. He is very meticulous and measured things out to a "T". The proof of his work is the TV fits perfectly as you can see in the pictures! Simply amazing job!!! Keep in mind painting is not included but he was helpful in facilitating a few quotes for painting. The bids for painting was very high and we opted to paint ourselves and it was worth it. Over all the initial pricing was lower the than the final cost but honestly the work that went into the build was more than we thought. I can see how you can get into a job and realized, wow there is more to it than I thought. We appreciated the hard work and craftsmanship. This will last for many many generations! Thanks Mike! Great guy and an amazing carpenter!!!!

I thought this would be a quick and easy job, but old houses being what they are, it took two full days. Michael stuck to his original estimate, which was more than fair, and worked until the door hung perfectly straight and closed exactly right. He left the door sanded and primed, ready for paint, and cleaned up after himself. Very professional in everything he did.

Did a great job. Showed up on time and completed on time. Cleaned up well after himself.
