Great to work with, easy to schedule in time for repairs/installations.
I had a strange request of a custom built tortoise enclosure using only natural materials. He did research on everything from the wood to the glue to the finish to ensure everything used would be safe for the tortoises. He was even flexible when I changed my mind from pickup to delivery. I will work with Alex for my carpentry needs in the future and would recommend him to anyone else in a heartbeat. Thorough and works very quickly.
Alex helped me cut some wood at very specific angles, 22.5 and 67.5 for a special project I was working on. He did great work, he did a trial cut before beginning the actual work and verified it with me. He always responded to messages promptly and delivered on time. I would highly recommend him.
We have had a wonderful experience thus far with Alex. He is Very easy to work with…responds quickly, listens carefully, and we can't wait to see the finished product.
He did a wonderful job and got it done super quick. Great quality as well, would recommend.
