Little Ledge Woodworks

I would highly recommend Little Ledge Woodworks. They did a whole house new replacement windows project along with replacing several rotted sills, siding, and outside window trim. The end result was fantastic with a minimum of disruption. Joe is an excellent craftsman and problem solver. He is extremely prompt and keeps you in the loop at every stage of the process. The estimates are clear and concise and very fairly priced.The communication skills of the business are excellent and the job gets completed smoothly. It is an absolute pleasure to work with Joe & Jillian. Best contactor I've ever come across by a long shot.

What an artisan and excellent human being Joe is! 100% top-notch in his woodworking expertise. And Jillian is a delight to work with on the ops side of Little Ledge. We finally have our go-to woodworking team. Big thanks, Joe and Jillian!

Joe and Jillian are quite the team- it is a pleasure working with them. Joe is a true artisan with a keen eye for details. I have had many projects crafted by Joe and hope to continue to do so. He has built me a wall of closets, modified my porch walls, built a beautiful butcher block bar top and a gorgeous black walnut window counter!! There’s more, and the accolades continue!!! Thank you Joe and Jill!!

We've worked with Jillian and Joe on 3 major projects now over the past 2 years. We live in an c. 1855 farmhouse in Maine that was completely renovated over 25 years by a master finish carpenter, so the standard of work done on the house has to be top notch to fit in with the work already completed. Joe has done that and then some! For each project, they were incredibly responsive (a rarity!), willing to come out and consult on each project, and recommended options to fit our style and budget. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a dream come true to find these folks. The first project was a floor rebuild and hardwood install in a second floor bedroom. It's a nursery, and the floor was very bowed. Joe thought of an ingenious solution - he bifurcated the room with a small 3-inch platform on one side (it's a fairly sizable room) that he was able to make completely flat for the crib. Incredible - before the floor was installed the drawers on the dresser would come open because the floor was so bent. Now it's flat and he matched the maple (a custom slightly-wider-than-usual hardwood cut) and stain of the rest of the upstairs. It looks stunning. Start to finish *including multiple poly coats* was just over 2 weeks. This guy works tirelessly. The second project was to replace all the rotted trim around the exterior of the house and match the intricate trim work from the previous owner. There's a lot of trim...think 48 windows worth of trim. He found our unusual paint color and was able to match the custom styling on each part he replaced. He even went out of his way to match some super-custom details on our front porch that look incredible. Even though about 1/4 of the trim on the house was replaced through the project, it looks original - again, stunning. The third project was to finish clapboard work and trim on the exterior of the back of the house. The garage is constructed from the original 1855 barn wall, with some original windows still in place. It was a complicated piece of finishing and Joe did it with style. He was again able to match the style of the house and craft something for us that looks original. We are already lining up our next projects with Little Ledge. I already know that we'll be working with them through the years we live in this home, and I take great comfort in the fact that we've found such an excellent craftsman to care for this old house.

Joe exceeded all expectations and he had come highly recommended to us! Cannot say enough about his craftmanship, his way of doing business and his knowledge. He was very helpful and his work is impeccable! We could not be happier! In fact, we are hiring him again for another job in the near future! Cannot say enough good things about Joe and Jillian!
