I am truly sorry for the non response. I have called Angie'[Member Information Removed] List recently to find out why I haven't received any leads (for estimate requests) recently. From 4/16/2020 till 7/8/2020 there were 360 requests in Angie'[Member Information Removed] list and none were forwarded to me. Unfortunately, yours was included it those. I'm sure you have contracted someone for your project by now but I just wanted to clear the air on this matter. Thanks for the original inquiry. Del.....Woodrite Carpentry

It's always disappointing for some folks will give a contractor a bad review for not getting in touch with them when an estimate is requested. I always try to get in touch by phone or email (if provided) but I can't control whether a customer is or isn't available to take the call at the moment.

We received a referral for Woodrite Carpentry from some friends of our who used them a few years ago. We were interested in having a composite deck with metal railing so I would never have to perform any maintenance in the future. We had our project quoted from a number of companies. Upon review, we decided on Woodrite carpentry because of the referral as well as the quote which was considerably less cost. The company is a small operation so the work is performed by one or two people. The work was very well done, in fact we could not have been happier. The detail work was great, the carpenter talked us though the process whenever there was a question. Great job of cleaning up. I was a little hesitant on selecting them because it was a smaller company but do not regret it know. The finished product specks for itself.

I spoke to him on a Tuesday and we scheduled for him to come out on Thursday to give us an estimate. We scheduled for him to come out at 9:30am and he never showed and didn't even bother to call. I specifically took off work in order to accommodate him coming out in the morning. This is just poor professionalism and a waste of our time. I know things come up, but at least have the decency to call so we're not waiting around wondering if you'll ever show. He had my right contact information because he repeated it to me to make sure he had it correct. Will not be considering his services.

This was a bad mistake on my part. I don't specifically remember that issue but it apparently happened. There is absolutely no excuse to miss an appointment. Somehow it got mixed up or misplaced with other appointments and it was overlooked. I spend a great deal of time (and money) trying to get work for my business and I wouldn't miss an appointment deliberately. I will continue to pursue further projects and hope this problem wont happen again. We have a "A" rating with Angie's List and the Better Business Bureau and I do everything I can not to jeopardize that rating including missing an appointment.

Woodrite was a great contractor to work with, from the detailed contract on what they world deliver to working with the city on plans and permits. This was a custom built gazebo and the workshop from the carpenter that did the work was amazing. Would highly recommend this contractor. Del, who is the owner is great to work with.

The price was the best out of three that we had looked at. The quality was very good, Jerry obviously took a lot of pride in his work and is very experienced. We were a little surprised on how long the project took, it was approximately 5 weeks from start to finish. The project really was accomplished by Jerry all by himself, which makes sense why it took so long to do. And in the end, I'd rather the project be done right rather than done fast. My feedback for Del is to be able to provide concrete starting dates instead of floating ones, and also the same with completion dates. I might have missed it, but I don't think we ever discussed how long the project would take, and it would have been helpful to manage my expectations that it would by one person working on the deck and it would take approximately 5 weeks to complete. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Del and Woodrite carpentry. The price was very reasonable, the quality was excellent, and the people are great. My 2 year old and 4 year old were very excited to see Jerry every morning and say hello, and Jerry was wonderful to work with.

Called for an estimate on project, said they would be out to review said project. No response. Phoned again for same and again was told they would be out, no response again! Horrible service. If you're not interested in a project just tell them so, don't string customers along. Will never contact them again nor recommend them to anyone.

I don't recall the mix up and maybe there was some miscommunication on this issue. I don't attempt to pursue additional projects and then deliberately miss the appointment. If this is what happened, I don't have an excuse, however, accidents do happen.

I am most happy with the new privacy fence. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the fence does the job of blocking the view into the backyard next door and is also very aesthetically pleasing. The workman cleaned up after the job was done and was careful not to damage my garden in the process of building the new fence.
Description of Work: The provider first took down and removed my old privacy fence adjacent to my patio area and built a new one to replace it. Prior to doing the work, he came over and discussed the project with me so that he fully understood how I wanted the end result to look.

Owner returned my phone calls and emails promptly and worked us into his already busy schedule. The quote was very competitive and there were no extra costs or surprises. We were very happy with the professional mannerism of the workers when they showed up to do the job, and they took pride in their workmanship. I would highly recommend using Woodrite Carpentry, and I will definitely call them if we need future work done.

I contacted Del for an estimate. I had to call several times to ask if he had looked at the deck that needed work. He came while I was not at home and I promptly called and left a message but I did not get a return call. I know he was very busy and I did not need the work done this year. All I wanted was an estimate and possibly get on the schedule for next year.

Response from Woodrite Carpentry LLC
This person called me about this project. I indicated from the beginning that was really booked up and also short handed. She called again and really wanted me to look at this project. I went to her home to look at the project. She wasn't at home. (she told me in advance that it is OK to look even though she wouldn't be there). I took pictures and left my company brochure in the front screen door and left. (I assumed that the brochure would serve as a signal to her that I was there and she would therefore call me when she returned home. I didn't see any calls from her although maybe I missed it somehow. If so, it wouldn't be the first missed call that I have ever experienced. (mistakes happen) That being said, I would have never thought that a missed call (or whatever happened) would generate a terrible review on Angie's List. I value my good reputation very much and do whatever I can to maintain it. Of my 20 to 30 reviews on Angie's List, I had 3 negative reviews and the remainder were mostly A's. The negative reviews were for projects that I never performed or even contracted. I have no further comment of this matter.

There were several delays. Original completion was to be in late September or October. I did say there was no rush. This was not completed to my satisfaction until this week but it is done and done well. It just took a very long time to get to this point. Del was always responsive with my emails but there was a period when I was unsure if it was going to be done but no money had been exchanged so nothing had been lost at that point. Again, it is done and to my satisfaction.

Del came to our home promptly to provide a quote. We discussed options for our deck and agreed on a scope of work and a quote was provided in a timely manner. We also had two other reputable firms quote as well. All the quotes were quote close and we chose to go with Woodrite as I felt very comfortable working with Del and the quality and reputation of his firm. With the work now completed I and happy to say everything was done as promised with excellent workmanship. Del checked in with me regularly during the project to make sure we were happy and Jerry, his carpenter was great to work with as well. There are bigger firms out there that I am sure do good work, but I am glad to say we choose Woodrite and would recommend them.
Description of Work: Del and his team removed an existing deck and pergola and replaced it with a new composite deck, composite railings and cedar pergola.

Even though there was an attempt to get a contract to this homeowner, and have it signed and returned, there was not a signed contract in place for this project, therefore, there was not a start date or completion date established. We do not work without contracts signed by both parties. With that, I have no further comment.

Del was professional and on time in arriving to give me an estimate. He talked thru the various options with me and gave good information. The reason I wont be using his services is that his quote for the job was about $2000 to $5000 over the other two estimates I received.

Response from Woodrite Carpentry LLC
While I appreciate all of the reviews I get for my company, sometimes there may be a little confusion as to the size, configuration, materials, etc. of a given project, which can lead to a poor review. It could also very well be that I, as the estimator, was somewhat unsure or confused as to the specifics of this project. Sometimes it is also possible that the customer does not convey all information specific to the project to the person doing the estimating. The project in question here was to be a large Cedar Deck. If my memory serves me correctly, it was to be approximately 500 square feet in size plus some steps and railings. I indicated that without doing any exact calculations, that the cost using todays prices for a project of this size and orientation, using Cedar, and also using a reputable and licensed (State of Wisconsin) contractor the cost could easily be over $10,000.00. I was then informed that a competitive bid had been received for $4,000.00 for the same project. I didn't pursue this project any further knowing that the incredible difference in the price was so high that there was not much of a chance for me to contract this project. My company is known for very high quality craftsmanship. On this particular review, I received a grade of "B" for craftsmanship. It was quite confusing to me as there was not any samples of my work to be demonstrated at this time. Finally, I am by no means attempting to pass any direct blame to the potential customer in this case as it could simply be some lack of communication on both parties.

Once we decided to replace/upgrade the deck, we went to the Milwaukee Home Show to look for a contractor. We talked with several but felt that Del and his Woodrite Carpentry team would be the best contractor for us. The original deck was built on the level of sliding doors from the family room but a full step down from the sliding door going out from the kitchen/breakfast area. The original deck ended just on the other side of the kitchen area door. Since the door from the laundry area and the sliding door from the kitchen area are on the same level, we needed the deck expansion to be about 9 inches higher than the original deck. Jerry built both levels of the deck changing the direction of the boards to enhance to the overall appearance of the deck. In addition, he worked with my wife to design a unique privacy screen that he built on the east end of the deck. The deck/privacy screen combination was so well done and attractive that it was featured in an article in the Milwaukee Journal House and Home section in June, 2010. Woodrite Carpentry did an outstanding job with our deck, and we have/would highly recommend them to others. While the price ended up to be more that what we originally planned to spend on the project, the end result was worth the money. We will definitely use them again we decide to do any other work on our deck.
Description of Work: The original deck on our house was beginning to deteriorate. We found several spots where the wood was rotting from the underside and decided it was time to replace the deck and to install a privacy screen on the east end of the deck. In addition, we wanted to expand the deck to cover the back of the house and to provide access from the back door from the laundry room. Woodrite Carpentry provided suggestions and worked with us to resolve some interesting challenges.

My experience with them went well. There were some issues while in the way, but he resolved them. I started with him March of 12, and he got done about six months later. It had been resolved a couple of months ago. They were a little slower than I had hoped. He's very professional and he's a very good carpenter. He was very meticulous, and he did a very good work. There were some misunderstanding as to what they wanted, but we got that resolved so I don't have any complaints on that area. Their professionalism was top notch, and I got no issues with that.
