Fine Kerf Carpentry

"I didn't get a sales pitch from him. I got someone who came to do the job." That is a 2021 homeowner writing about Tim, the carpenter behind Fine Kerf Carpentry in Ashby. Angi and HomeAdvisor list the business for carpentry, doors and windows, and put his experience at six years. The written record runs 2020 through 2024 — twelve reviews, all five stars. A 2024 customer hired him to put in a couple of doors and wrote that he was fast and they came out beautifully. In 2022, someone had a deck repaired, power washed and re-sealed; a 2021 review credits him with the design idea for enclosing a screened-in porch with window panels. Six of the twelve reviews mention what he charged — reasonable cost, good pricing, on budget, fairly priced. Timing sits right next to it: reviewers writing in 2020, 2021 and 2022 describe him as punctual or on time, and the 2020 one added that he cleaned up everything before leaving. A real-estate agent, also writing in 2020, said she would recommend him to her clients. Two reviewers, in 2020 and 2022, went out of their way to mention his dog — one of them by name, Millie. The most recent of those accounts dates to 2024. Angi and HomeAdvisor each list a Massachusetts trade licence, #199023, for the business, along with an insured certification. For doors and trim, a deck that needs repair, or a porch to be closed in, this is a straightforward hire: one carpenter, on site, doing the work himself. Confirm the job you have in mind is one he takes on — the profiles list carpentry, doors and windows — and pin down the price before he starts.
