Steve knows antique (old) houses and enjoys working on them. He listens to what you say and will make suggestions, but ultimately do what you decide. He's honest with his pricing, and shows up when he says he will, or will let you know if he won't. I know I'll be calling him again.

Steve and his crew went above and beyond to accommodate our needs following significant water damage to our home. As the scope of work expanded, Steve was able to adapt to our changing needs and demonstrated his versatility with a wide array of skills. He is dependable and a consistent communicator, which helped guide critical decisions and project timelines. Steve has a wonderful caring personality and can-do attitude. We highly recommend Clawhammer Carpentry! Roger and Lynette
