On Google it holds a 5-star average from 8 ratings. One recent customer hired John Rasmus and his team to remove the wall between the dining room and living room. It turned out to be load-bearing, and that customer said the adjacent cloth drop ceiling came through completely intact and the space was left clean. A recent customer whose window install stalled on rotted framing and 2x4 supports said John Rasmus Carpentry quoted the job accurately and did the work in a timely manner. A 2026 customer said John replaced their stair treads and risers at a fair price. A 2025 customer said John put an addition and dormer on the back of their house and handled the interior work as well; that 2025 customer also said he kept them updated every step of the way. A 2025 customer from Rocky Hill said John and his crew completed an oversized deck on existing piers and worked through an original design that was not square.
