In a 2025 review, a customer said James gave the lowest quote and installed the floor two weeks from when they signed with him; that 2025 customer wanted the floor done by Easter, said he delivered, and said it turned out beautiful. In a 2022 review, a customer who hired James for two projects, one to re-trim all of the windows in the house with fresh wood trim and one to install a new custom patio door to replace an old rotten, leaky one, said both were completed on time and priced appropriately. A 2021 reviewer replacing exterior trim said the job turned into a larger project as problems arose when the old trim was removed, and that James and his crew repaired anything and everything that hindered the initial job. A 2021 customer called James an excellent carpenter. In a 2019 review, a customer whose large house had not been painted in 15 years said James replaced countless trim boards, siding boards, weather stripping and windows as prep work. That 2019 customer said that when the painters found a couple of spots that needed fixing after James had finished and been paid, he came back and promptly fixed them at no charge. A 2019 review says a basement window installation was better than the customer anticipated and affordable. A 2020 reviewer said James did a great and timely job on a small exterior deck / stair replacement, and a 2020 review of a flooring installation called the work very detailed.

James gave me the lowest quote and installed my floor two weeks from when I signed with him. I wanted the floor done by Easter and he delivered! It turned out beautiful! We couldn’t be happier!
James kept his promise. Did the work to our satisfaction. Very personable, punctual, efficient and cleaned up well.
James did job with the project, I am happy with the quality of work done by james
We hired James for two projects: one to re-trim all of the windows in our house with fresh wood trim, and one to install a new custom patio door to replace an old rotten, leaky one. Both projects were completed on time, priced appropriately, with a very high level of quality and craftsmanship. In both instances, the finished results really elevated our home's look and feel. James is easy to work with, works hard to get the details right, and a really nice guy to boot. We will definitely have him back for more projects in the future!
