J D PHILLIPS FINISH CARPENTRY

unknown

Our concrete porch had been sinking for several years, so we had the porch taken out and a new one poured. When demo'ing the porch, it was discovered that one of the posts was totally rotted away at the base, contributing to the porch roof sinking even more. We had another contractor set up to install the post, as well as some other carpentry work, as soon as the concrete was dry and could support the roof. When we called him to let him know we were ready, he basically blew us off and said he had other jobs. JD had installed two posts for a neighbor in our area, so we asked for an estimate for our porch posts. His estimate was significantly higher than the first contractor, but what JD proposed was a much nicer design, so we went with him. JD's primary work is finish carpentry work for new home building, but he agreed to take on our small job. JD came out on a Saturday & Sunday to work on our posts. He installed a new base (previous base was under grade), replaced the rotted post, and covered it with a new design. He also moved the second post to center (was off by 3/8 inch), and covered it with the new design. We are very happy with the finished job that JD did for us. We are now considering having JD work on some inside jobs, i.e., new hand rail on stairway, book cases around the fireplace, crown molding, etc. We would highly recommend JD. He is very professional, great personality, and does excellent work.

J D is a wonderful craftsman. This particular job I am reporting on is that he installed approximately 10 new cabinets in our home. He is prompt, fast and reasonably priced. He did some other work for us about a month ago...installing some cat doors and re-hanging a door that needed to be planed. He has a great attitude and shows up when he says he is going to, and also returns phone calls. I would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.
