A family spent three months out of their house and came back for Christmas 2018 to a finished basement, a new furnace, a generator, central air and new windows. Rick Vincuilla had lined up and supervised every trade while they were gone. That is the job Creative Custom Carpentry keeps getting hired for: one person holding the whole project together. Vincuilla runs the Bellingham business himself and writes its website in the first person, describing 22 years working for architectural firms beforehand. He holds two active Massachusetts licences in his own name — construction supervisor CS-082463 and home improvement contractor registration 151263, both verified on the state registry — and his Houzz profile adds Lead Safe Renovator and a certification in AutoCAD. The work customers describe sits at the finish end of remodeling: gut kitchens, master baths, crown molding and wall panelling, finished basements, a second floor built out. Two things come up repeatedly in those accounts. One is paperwork — a 2020 bathroom client singled out a very detailed contract and steady updates whenever something had to be adjusted. The other is order on site: a 2017 kitchen and dining room gut rehab came in on time and within budget with the place swept before he left each day; a 2018 pair of bathrooms took exactly the time quoted; a 2016 homeowner removing a non-bearing wall for a kitchen remodel wanted a contractor organized enough to keep the subcontractors on schedule and said that is what they got. In 2019 a repeat customer had a master bath expanded into the old walk-in closet, with the closet relocated and a steam shower added. Two practical things before calling. The written history is dated: the twelve reviews on his Houzz profile run from October 2015 to December 2021, all five stars, with Work Quality and Communication rated 5.0 and Value 4.5. And Houzz lists the service area as Bellingham alone, with typical jobs between $10,000 and $100,000. For a kitchen, bathroom or basement where the trim work is the point and somebody has to run the trades, this is that kind of shop. Ask for the written proposal early — it is the thing past clients praise most — and confirm how far he travels now and what his calendar looks like.
We worked with Rick to renovate our kitchen. He was amazing from start to finish. He is professional and knowledgeable. He was in constant communication with us throughout the project. His work is beautiful! We are so happy that we found him and highly recommend him!
We worked with Rick from Creative Custom Carpentry to install Crown Molding and Wall Paneling in our Dining Room and Stairwell. Rick was one of five estimates we received for the work. Two words come to mind, when thinking about Rick and the work he performed (A) Partner (B) Professional. Partner: Rick truly partnered with us on this project. He was the lone vendor to bring samples of the various molding options we could select from. He made two trips to our home to ensure he had a full / complete grasp of that which we were looking for before drafting a detailed quote. He also developed multiple iterations of drawings to illustrate what the finished product would look like – to ensure it was exactly what we were interested in. Professional: Rick was in constant contact throughout the entire process. In addition, when on the job-site, he was here every morning @ 7:30a. and when wrapping up for the day, he was sure to clean-up. Rick and Creative Custom Carpentry was truly interested in ensuring we were satisfied with his work (and we were). As Rick’s work was finish carpentry, it is what everyone will see when they enter the home, as such Rick was meticulous in his execution of the project. You know, you are satisfied with someone’s work, when you are already discussing your next project before they have even finished the one they were currently working on – as we did with Rick from Creative Custom Carpentry.
We couldn't be happier with our bathroom remodel and the meticulous work preformed by Creative Custom Carpentry! Very professional all around. Rick provided a very detailed contract, and kept us updated with any changes or adjustments that might need to be made as the job progressed, right to the very last day. Moving forward, we won't have anyone other than CCC do work in our home.
Rick and his crew are great. They have completed several projects for us. The last project was a custom master bath that required expanding the master bath into the previous walk-in closet and relocating the walk-in closet. The master bath is breathtaking with its steam and regular shower, large free standing tub, radiant heat in the floor, new windows, crown moldings, vanity and freestanding linen closet. You have to see it to believe it. We couldn’t have had a better designer/master carpenter.
After 40 yrs. celebrated Christmas in our newly renovated basement with our new furnace. Generator, central air, new windows! Whose house is this? Great renovation! Rick organized everyone and supervised them all. He kept in constant touch as we were not in the house for three months. Happy, happy, happy.
