J. Kenneway / Awl Carpentry

Jim and team were amazing to work with. The crew at our house was extremely thoughtful and had amazing attention to detail. We are very fortunate to have found AWL

We had a rental home that we leased out for many years - > and when the last renter moved on, we knew it was our turn to live on the South Shore. Jim and the AWL team transformed the property into a beautiful home, adding an addition, decks, moving the laundry upstairs, reimagining beautiful bathrooms, a kitchen, and preserving some the best original features of the house. They listened, gave great advice and always provided alternative solutions. AWL also put us in touch with wonderful resources (architect, tile, plumbing fixtures, appliances, cabinetry, countertops...), which makes a sometimes overwhelming process easier. Such a nice group of people and easy to work with. We highly recommend!

We worked with Awl to finish our basement and add a covering to our back porch. They helped us with a playroom, powder room, living space, and gym. Everyone on Jim’s team (and all of the subcontractors) were such a pleasure to work with. They were knowledgeable, skilled, and great problem solvers. We will definitely be using them again if we need more work done on our house. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Amazing team to work with! Our basement was already finished but was totally empty. We wanted to add an entertainment center, wet bar, and a wine storage area. From our first meeting with Jim we knew we wanted to work with him and are so thankful we did. Communication and transparency are super important to us, and Emily goes above and beyond. The Friday updates (every Friday without fail) are a great way of keeping up with progress and serve as a great reminder of to-do’s on your end. She juggles everyone involved incredibly and keeps you in the know always so that there are no surprises. The entire team was incredibly friendly, trustworthy with our home, and Mark (Griff) in particular could not have been a nicer, more thoughtful project manager/foreman to work with. The people they bring in (shoutout to the whole team at Rock Solid, Ryan, Wes and Paul) are incredibly talented at what they do and just great people all around. We will not hesitate one bit to work with them again for any future projects. My wife and I cannot recommend them enough, and we can’t wait for our furniture so we can enjoy our new, beautiful space!

Awl just completed our kitchen / pantry renovation. Absolutely nailed it. It's the fourth project they have done at our home. Jim and Emily are great and easy to work with, the work is excellent and so is the value.
