Unprofessional. No response at all from the company.

I didn't take the estimate or pursue the job further. Everything was fine except the cost. They told me exactly what needed to be done. I told them what I wanted. It was all satisfactory. If somebody wanted to use them, I think they would be fine. They showed up on time. They gave me a thorough discussion over what needed to be done.

If an idea can become a reality, Jared preforms it's construction with precision. Our deck is lovely.

When we removed our front cement 5-stair stoop, we discovered the wood under our entry/porch was rotted out. We called Jared, who had done work for us previously, and in a panic described our situation. He was very helpful and reassuring on the phone and came the next morning to look at the entry. It was a complicated job because it was difficult to access the woodwork under the front of the entry, but he was quickly able to devise a plan to fix it and was available to start on it right away. He worked tirelessly in the hot summer sun, kneeling on the rough cement rubble of our former stairs. He did an excellent job rebuilding and installing metal flashing to the foundation/support of our entry. The cement contractor who came after the job was finished (to pour new cement stairs) remarked on what a great job Jared had done. Our neighbor also complimented the work, as well as his work ethic.

Jared came out, on time (early actually!), gave me a estimate. I was immediately impressed with how professional he was. He brought a portfolio of past work and references to the first meeting, which is rare. He worked with me to refine the details of my project and was extremely patient as I worked through options. He was booked out pretty far in advance, which was not convenient, but i felt (and now know) spoke to the quality of his work. I got on the calendar for 3 months out and waited. tick tock. The appointed day, Jared came on time and started work. My house proved to be an extreme challenge with a lack of straight, level walls and right angles, but Jared was unflappable. He worked through every single challenge and delivered flawless end results with no drama. He is a perfectionist, which is also rare to find in a contractor. His work is meticulous. He worked long hours and ended up having to work the weekend to get it done on time, and did so without a complaint. He also spent way more time than either of us expected, but stuck to his original estimate. He was neat and clean, and just a generally nice guy that you don't mind having around. I am beyond excited about my new door. And i would HIGHLY and DEFINITELY recommend Method for any project you can get them/him for.

He did a good job. There was one piece of wood that was too small. I called and asked them to take care oft hat. It was the same day as the 12th. He got another piece of wood and put that in there.

In the end I budgeted about $2,500 for this job. After talking with Jared this seemed pretty right on, and in the end it was just a little less than that, including the windows. An issue came up during the job regarding the slope of the house that made the area the windows go into less than square, which is a real concern for me. But with good carpentry skills and a bottom line attitude that aesthetics are as important as sound construction, Jared was able to both fix the trouble areas and hide this flaw entirely. So, in the end, the price of the job was what I expected it to be and structural flaws that could have been a problem in the appearance of the final product were worked around. So, I'm more than happy with the money spent.

It didn't go anywhere because they didn't bother to call back!

I worked with Jared to do several minor (non-structural) renovation projects on my 85 year old house and he did a great job on all of them. The largest project was a bathroom remodel that involved installing a new single hung window, an exhaust fan including dedicated wiring, replacing the formica walls with 8x6 tile, refinishing the tub, and installing new copper plumbing and fixtures. Jared's workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. For example, when Jared installed the new window he also made new a casement window header that matched the existing house trim (bungalow-style 1.25" fir) and notched out the tile around the header. He gladly did the extra work to preserve the character of the house instead of chop-sawing the angled header and minimizing the tile work. It's this attention to detail that I highly valued. The bathroom looks great and his suggestion of installing an exhaust fan was an excellent one - it's whisper quiet and adds a much needed light to the tub area. In addition, in the process of discussing the renovations he suggested that we include a recessed niche in the new wall that was sized for bulk-sized bathroom products. This was something I hadn't considered and it's worked out extremely well. It's an excellent size and the sloped tile base never leaves standing water. The other major project was the replacement of a steel shower stall with a new freestanding one. The new shower's installation requirements combined with the slab foundation forced Jared to improvise a shower pan base frame and trim (mitred, of course) work. Being an old house, it's often the case that improvisation is needed to accommodate new materials and products, and Jared always came up with a solid solution to the numerous problems that were not possible to foresee. He also routed out the shower trim so that the shower side's screw heads were concealed - another example of his attention to detail. There were also several smaller projects (custom reducer for a threshold, conduit for external wiring, deadbolt lock replacement, drywall patching around previously poorly installed pipes) that he worked on with equal care. Despite the inevitable setbacks and unexpected situations, Jared did an excellent job. Pricing was highly competitive and he's willing to work with you if you want to do a bit of the legwork yourself. The final price was well in line with the original estimate. I acquired many of the products myself (both new and used) and he was happy to work with me to get them installed properly. Professionally, he's extremely punctual and will notify you of any change of plans, and the daily cleanup was exhaustive. Highly recommended. Best of luck Jared.

Jared and Harley are OUTSTANDING! I have done many remodels, large and small, over the years and they are among the best contractors I have ever worked with. They started on time, finished early, cleaned up every day, and were most pleasant to have around. Their detail work is impeccable - I am known to be picky and I could not find fault with any part of their finish work, since they are even pickier than I am! They carefully explained anything extra they needed to do, and gave me options and alternatives if possible. They are creative and thorough, and very good at what they do. I would use them again for any type of project. Their price is not the highest, but not the lowest either. I was fairly confident from the way they approached the bidding process that I would get value for the investment, and I certainly did. Their work was superior, and I know that other companies would have charged more - some would have charged less, I'm sure, but the quality would not be as good.

It went very well. He was not the lowest bid, but he was very detail oriented. I was shaken at first by all of the work that he said I needed, but after I talked to all of the other carpenters, he stood out as being the most conscientious. That turned out to be the case. He would ask me as the job went along for my opinion on various things. The finished product looks quite good and I felt that it was definitely worth the cost.

He was puntual, and earnest. He is great and I'm about ready to use him again for another project.

Jared responded promptly to my initial telephone call and came out to look at the project. He helped me determine the measurements of my garage opening so that I could order the doors from my manufacturer. The doors and frame were delivered to his shop where he primed and painted them. The paint job was excellent. He delivered them to my home and installed them. He was meticulous and very hard-working. He left the job-site tidy every day. Jared's attention to detail is extraordinary.

It went really well. Jared is an exceptional contractor. He came for the estimate on our schedule. The "B" given to responsiveness was due solely to the amount of time taken to receive the estimate. Jared arrived on a day convenient for us. He worked quickly, kept me informed of the progress, and cleaned up after himself (the kitchen was probably cleaner after he left than before he arrived).

Overall this remodel went really well. He showed on time during the big snow to do the estimate. They were there all day, everyday and worked late several times (after checking with us first). They cleaned up daily and were very respectful of the fact we were still living in the house. Jared did a line item bid, thus we could decide where to make cuts in order to stick to our budget. Jared was very open to us DIY'ers do small bits such as flooring and paint. He even helped us cut out part of the old flooring in anotther room. The cherry on top they finished ahead of schedule.

What he has done is right on the money. He is excellent. He is on time and he has done a great job of cleanup.

I sent an email on Easter Sunday requesting a fast estimate for some wood rot to be replaced on a house I am trying to buy. Jared called me within a few hours and although he wasn't going to be able to do the estimate in the time frame I needed, he referred me to someone and said not to hesitate to call him with any questions. He was very nice and willing to help however he could. He even wished me a Happy Easter. :)

He did a great job. The new door opens with a whoosh as the bottom insulating piece brushes against the threshold, and it shuts tightly, without letting a whisper of sound come in. It is the best fitted door we have ever had! Jared also stayed until the job was finished, working into the evening to get the job done.

We had a basic drawing of what we wanted and between our ideas and Jared's we ended up with a beautiful/functional front porch. This project was loaded with custom woodwork, custom cooper work and a lot of snow. During the snow it was discovered that we had a major leak from the upstairs balcony. Jared brought out a building inspector to have the problem double checked, it turned out the flashing had to be completely redone on the balcony. The exterior of the balcony, cedar shake had to be removed, the under board replaced and proper flashing installed. It was a complete disassembly of the 3 exterior walls. Jared constructed custom copper diverter flashing for either side of the balcony. The porch columns consist of custom wooden bases with individual shingles adhered to a triangular custom form capped with a smaller custom wooden base that leads to all of the custom copper that completes the column. Into all of this went flashing and a lot of consideration as to how water would fall from the columns. 10 porch beams were capped in copper and small copper pieces were put into place: around the drain pipe opening on the ceiling, over the existing oxidized porch brackets, to give the whole project a finished look.

The radiant heat system was a major concern of ours and Method came through with flying colors, attention to detail is one of Methods strong suits. Our final product is a floor with a lower threshold than previously existed, our heating system is intact and all went smoothly from start to finish. The job entailed moving a 6 burner Viking range, removing a dishwasher and placing the flooring around existing cupboards with a an eye to the future when they will be removed and replaced. An add on : sub-floor and wood flooring to a 3'x3" concrete slab entry way was also completed.

Jared and his crew were very professional and knowledgeable about what needed to be done and how to go about it. Due to several foundation problems, the final cost was more that the original estimate, but well worth it. I am very pleased with the final product and would recommend Jared and his crew for any of your carpentry needs. They know how to do everything. I plan on using him for all future projects at my home.

Everything turned out very well. The worker was super polite and professional, and we were very impressed with him. We may use them again for our deck.

Jared and David are men of integrity. All subcontracted work was done to Jared's exacting standards: drywall, paint, glass shower door and wood trim. Method was on time, on budget (with 1 minor add on for our additional request) clean work site and very personable. Our bathroom job entailed 6 different tile styles: the floor, and 5 in the custom tiled shower. Jared suggested that we choose 3 different grout colors and we did. David went to lengths creating a beautiful niche that blends perfectly with our band of linear glass tiles. I appreciated that Jared and David both had suggestions and opinions, we did not hire a designer but with the level of detail preformed, you would think we had. Our fixtures were not on site when job started, but J&D were able to keep to schedule and work them in as they arrived. The only unexpected occurrences were: because the shower trim was not here when the plumbing and tile were put into place, extensions had to be purchased in order for the trim to be installed and when the sub contractor installed the glass shower door, one of the tiles cracked. Once Jared had replaced the one glass tile, he had the owner of the company handle the re-installation of the door.

Jared was able to come to give an estimate the same day I called which was super compared to the other carpenters I had called. I waited more than a week for some of them to just return my call. When it came time to install the door, Jared came prepared, with all the necessary tools and equipment. He was also very willing to utilize some additional security measures we wanted to employ with the new door. He was very considerate of both our dogs and 2 young children and cleaned up after the work was done. Jared was professional and very personable, and clearly takes pride in his work.

These guys were great. Jared came over and gave us a reasonable estimate, much more in line with my expectations than two other contractors. They were precise in asking questions about what we wanted, and very professional from estimations through clean up. I would highly recommend these guys! I've already discussed a remodel of the basement with them and Jared has offered some insightful suggestions.
