Frank's Cool Carpentry Company is a carpentry outfit out of Houlton, Maine. A 2023 customer said Frank and one of his men upgraded a bathroom sink and cabinet in a few hours, and wrote that "the new set up looks and functions great." A 2023 customer who hired them to take over a job started by a previous contractor said they pulled the walls in or out to straighten them, and that Clarks Contracting later assessed the damage as "a 10000 repair to fix this mistake," with the walls leaning an inch and a half out. That 2023 customer said they packed up and left without finishing, leaving rental equipment behind and still no roof, which was the reason they were hired. A 2023 customer said they did all the work on that customer's property in a professional manner. In a 2022 review signed by High D Away Lodge, the writer said Frank had been part of the lodge's crew, did carpentry, and would be available for other work when the lodge had none for him.
Frank and one of his men upgraded my bathroom sink and cabinet. They were only a few hours doing the job. The new set up looks and functions great. Thanks Frank
We hired on this crew Frank's cool carpentry out of Houlton Maine. They came in took over one a previous contracted job. Right from the beginning one thing led to another nothing but problems. They said the first contractor didn't have the walls straight. So they pulled the walls in or out to make them straight. Worked 35 in one week. We just had clarks contracting came to access the damage. It's a 10000 repair to fix this mistake. All because they can't read a chalk line or tape measure. The walls are leaning an inch and half out. The whole building is tipped. End of story Frank's cool carpentry showed at 1030 this morning without saying a word packed their stuff and left grand rental equipment behind and they paid Friday. With no intention of finishing the job. We spoke with several other contractors in the area they asked who did the work we told them and their response was oh boy. And the last picture is the mess we r left with still no roof which is why we hired them in the first place.
Great service. They do all the work on my property and it always looks great and is done in a very professional manner.
