Castleberrys Carpentry

They were at the house early each day and stayed until the work was done. The windows look great! After our first big rain I'll know how they work now, but expect they are now sealed well

It went very well, The door needed a little extra attention after install and Lebron took care of it.

LeBron's work is of the highest quality. The fence he build is praised to this day by my neighbors, it has a beautiful curve. The 2 doors he built open and close with precision. Very happy with his work.

The work went well and Labron proved to be a careful and knowledgeable workman who has extensive door installation experience so we intend to have him install a new front door.

It went very well. The project stay on time and within budget. I really enjoyed working with Lebron!

I talked to him about doing other work and so far, I am really impressed. I was very impressed with his thoroughness. When I interviewed him a couple of weeks before he was/is very knowledgeable in terms of doing it right. He is going to rebuild part of my stairs, because I noticed that they weren?t built properly when I had them done by somebody who didn?t know as much. I gave him $500, but that includes some other work he is going to do when he comes back. That was just for the last few hours of working with his assistant.

We are adding a positive post to the previous review so we can settle. CURRENT POST 4-11-17: WE HAVE RECEIVED A MONEY ORDER FROM LEBRON. THANK YOU, WE HAVE ONE LEFT. CURRENT POST 3-4-2017 WE HAVE RECEIVED A MONEY ORDER FROM LEBRON. THANK YOU WE HAVE TWO LEFT. PREVIOUS REVIEW WORDING: It has been extremely awful. He breached the contract. He has done little to know work, used incorrect materials, yelled at me and my neighbor in the front yard, has "workers" that he is not registered to have, according to the State of Washington, and refuses to return even a portion of our money. We paid him $4550. We are only asking for $1000 to offset our losses. We cannot even use the wood he purchased as it was not the agreed upon product. --He attached a segment of fencing with "finish" nails as though those would keep the fencing connected. He left four 4X4X12 foot posts dry-set through the asphalt with crossbars sticking onto our driveway. This is very unsafe. --He asked us to pay him up front for a third of the project, failed to show up when the delivery happened, and called the lumber folks liars. --He refused to work it out with us, failing to see that if he breaches the contract that we should get at least a substantial portion of our money returned. --He sent us emails that were extremely negative, bullying us, and treating us disrespectfully. --He used two workers, Aaron and Chris, whom he is not legally setup to have, according to the Washington State licensing authorities. --He also was not actively licensed while he was offering us the contract and trying to get our business, even though he stood right on my front porch and told us he was. --His unprofessional behavior was scary and left us feeling uncomfortable. He would stomp from one area to another sputtering negative remarks, refusing to appropriately answer questions about his return to finish; and he breached a first time which we tried to mend only for him to do that again. Description of work: We hired Mr. Castleberry to build a perimeter fence with two gates with him knowing I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income and that the fence would be to contain my service animal. The thing is: we checked him out as much as we could. He told us he is the only one who could do as good as job as he did for us. This simply is not true, since he breached the contract.

The barn was to replace a door for a small bathroom on the main floor of the house. Finding someone to install a barn door wasn't easy, but Castleberry did a great professional job. The door was mounted securely and level. Looks like it has always been there.

Lebron was fantastic from start to finish! The previous front door, side window, and frame were all in pretty rough shape. He presented a variety of options for the front door work and i showed him some pictures of mantel styles i liked. He has a great attention to detail and was a pleasure to work with, it's really nice when you can tell someone cares a lot about the quality of their work and is passionate with what they do. The first door had a minor manufacturer defect but he didn't want to compromise the quality and had them remake it so there was a bit of delay there, but in the meantime he and his crew showed up and ripped out the old door and frame, made a new frame/side window and installed a temporary front door in addition to some nice style addons for the header above the door. When the door itself was ready he promptly came out and the finished product is fantastic! The mantel he whipped up was perfect for our tastes as well. Despite the door frame being unexpectedly difficulty to remove since it was built in, he came in right on budget. Would not hesitate to recommend!

Didn't hire this contractor. Once he found out I wasn't going to buy and install a new door, he had no interest in scheduling me for other services.

The living room looks great and the sound from the upstairs unit is definitely muffled. We are very happy with the results. The window trim fits perfectly.

LeBron came to our aid after he had been working all day at another work site. He prevented a major disaster in the apartment. It turned out that we needed to repipe the house but until we could get the work done by a plumber, the repair that LeBron did held.

The cabinets look great and are a immense improvement. The fan works wonderfully.

The floor was replaced quickly with very little disruption to our tenant.

Everything was finished to our satisfaction. The new laundry/pantry is a great addition to the house.

LeBron and his,assistant had to remove the old roofing and underlayment. There were also issues with eaves and trim boards. The roof was installed perfectly and the other problems with the eaves and trim were resolved to our satisfaction. The new roof looks great!

The door looks as if it has always been there. The interior wall was repaired and streamlined and the exterior wall has new,siding. The workmanship was excellent. We are very happy with the result.

This is the third time I have hired Castleberry Carpentry. I have appreciated the results. Very personable, professional, thoughtful. Work is done quickly and high quality. They repaired a wall for me and replaced some fixtures in bathroom. Owner offers his experienced input and suggestions when needed. My home looks clean as if no one has worked there at the end of every work day. I have searched for quality handymen and contractors in Seattle. This one is my favorite. They treat small jobs as if just as important as large jobs and take customer satisfaction very seriously. I highly recommend hiring them.

It went fairly well. I paid his daily rate so when the job was not complete at the end of the day I had to finish up on my own. He had some good ideas on this unusual installation of a egress window.

It took several weeks to schedule, and several more to receive the doors. Upon starting work, Joel and LeBron were extremely careful, did a very good job, and cleaned up the work space very nicely every day. Top quality work from nice people.

My contact with LeBron began about a month or so before the work was performed. I initiated contact through Angie's List, but a week later, I hadn't heard back. Eventually, I looked up their website, found the number, and called them directly. I reached LeBron while he was on his way back from a road trip to the other side of the country, still two weeks out from the Seattle area. We talked through the work required and he suggested that I send an e-mail to his partner, Josh to get everything underway. That e-mail slipped through the cracks as well, but they're a two-man business so I'm somewhat sympathetic to that. Eventually, Josh got back to me around the time I had a couple other contractors out for a site inspection. Josh was able to come out a couple days later take some measurements and provided an estimate. Their estimate came in on par with others and seeing Josh's attention to detail swayed me to go with them despite not being impressed with business operations side of things. I was most concerned about the quality of work. Once I started communicating with LeBron directly again, things went much smoother from a business ops side of things. I met LeBron near my work to sign the quote and give him my 50% deposit. He ordered the door on credit and within about 5 days, he was on site installing the door. The install took two full days and involved cutting a 6 in concrete footer to make way for the door. LeBron's partner Josh was supposed to do the work, but had decided to move onto another job seeking a less demanding schedule. As a result, there were some mishaps with incorrect equipment to cut the footer delaying things, but all in all, LeBron did an excellent job on the install. Again the quality of the work was my biggest concern and he easily met those standards. He did it right the first time so I didn't have to pay to have done right a second time. He also took care to keep limit the impact of the work on the rest of my garage and yard which was kindly appreciated. In summary, the quality of the work done was top notch, but I think I caught them in a transition time which created some issues from the business side of things. I would definitely use LeBron again.

We purchased a custom door for our home. LeBron met with us before we made the purchase and gave us an estimate for the work. When the door was ready, LeBron scheduled us quite quickly - in less than a week. LeBron is a craftsman, and his careful and meticulous work is everything one could ask for. The door fits perfectly and closes with a rather luxurious sound. We were and continue to be very pleased.

Castleberrys' has extensive and excellent reviews on Angie's List and so we called Lebron Castleberry, the owner and founder of the company, for a consult and quote. We were struck by Leborn's responsiveness and his immediate grasp of the situation. Further, he was quick to offer thoughtful options as to how we might address the installation if his company were to proceed. We accepted his quote, finding it very reasonable given the amount of customization we knew the job would require. Lebron understood every aspect of the job, being quite detailed in his explanation of how he and his crew would approach it. He possesses a very personable working nature?patient and extremely considerate of a homeowner's concerns. Lebron would talk over the details with us and explain every step if we had required such. But it became clear that he understood the complexities of the project thoroughly and so, trusting his expertise, we decided to leave the implementation to him and his crew. Each day he and his associate Joel arrived on time, as planned and scheduled. Lebron and Joel's meticulous attention to every aspect of the installation was evident. Existing floors, walls and finishes were well-protected before the start of each session and the site was left immaculate each day. Castleberry's commitment to the successful completion of the project was striking. And finally, and perhaps most importantly?they did a truly excellent job. Castleberrys' exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to hire them again and we recommend them wholeheartedly. Everyone who has come to see their completed work has left thoroughly impressed. Lastly, Castleberrys' performance stands as a credit to Angie's List. Our experience with them reaffirms the enormous value in both services.

I first made contact on May 30. My job was installing exterior window trim around twenty windows. LeBron responded that same day asking for details about the job and where I was located. He indicated that he could come out and look at the job the next week. I wrote back the same day asking when was convenient. On Wednesday June 3, I hadn't heard anything so I sent another email. LeBron responded quickly and wanted to meet within the next couple hours. However, by the time I actually saw that message, it was too late. We reestablished email contact later that day where LeBron suggested meeting Friday, June 5th. On June 4th LeBron sent a message saying he couldn't come out the 5th and suggested some time "late next week". After some back and forth communication, we agreed on Friday, June 12th. So, on June 12th I scheduled my work day so I could be around my house at the agreed upon time. Well, on the 12th, I got another email from him saying that he wouldn't be able to make it out and apologized saying he had a very small company and told me he wasn't sure when he could make it out to my house. I then pulled the plug on this inquiry and told him that I wasn't interested in all the rescheduling that was going on. His response was that it was "incredibly difficult for us to get out to the greater Seattle areas". I live in an eastside suburb that is a 20 minute drive from what Angies List shows as his business address. It this is too far away, there was no indication of that in Angies List. Based on other reviews, it sounds like LeBron does indeed do great work. However, if a provider is going to be limited in some way on the types/location of jobs they can take, I think Angies List should indicate this. If not on Angies List, then I would have thought LeBron's first response should have indicated that he isn't able to take jobs outside of Seattle city limits (or whatever the service area is). I'd rather know right away if someone is not interested or able to take on a particular job rather than finding out at a later time that the provider is unable to provide the requested service.

The work went well, and it was done when agreed upon. Hinges were replaced, doors adjusted (planing and sanding), doors rehung and are now operative. Mr. Castleberry clearly knows his doors!
