We are extremely pleased with the job that Brian and his crew did framing out our basement. We are finishing part of our basement and found out that we needed a LVL beam installed to meet code for head clearance. They also framed in a laundry room, powder room, rebuilt our stairs, and installed all required fire blocking. Top quality workmanship, clean job site, and timely completion made this a great experience. I highly recommend Baer Custom Carpentry.
High praise for this very responsive and professional builder. We wanted to remove a wall in our home to open up our kitchen to living room space. Brian came over the afternoon that I called him, looked at my job and said he would be back the next day to do the job. Just amazing to have that kind of response and service. Next day, Brian and his crew showed up with the approved design and proper materials and went to work. They were finished in record time and the job was done to my exact specifications and vision. Brian even took the pocket door kit that I was going to install and had it up and ready for the new door before I could get the directions read. Brian even built back up the half wall we wanted to leave in place - to the exact dimensions I wanted and trimmed out perfectly. The wealth of experience that Brian brings to bear on any project should give anyone looking to hire him confidence that the job is going to be done right and done professionally. I could not be more pleased with his work.
I have hired Brian and his company a number of times in the past five years. He can do everything and anything. Very professional. Estimates were right on target, workers are very friendly and site is always very tight. I would highly recommend Baer Custom Carpentry.

We hired Brian and his company to redo our deck, replacing the 11 year old PT with Trex. Brian and his crew arrived when they said they would, they were always prompt and courteous, the work was excellent, and the price was very reasonable. Even though we added a couple of other things to work on, they did the job promptly and the extra work was billed fairly. I have absolutely no questions about recommending Baer Carpentry for work. We were extremely pleased.
