Reed Custom Carpentry

We hired Chris to help fix a decaying garage barn, create a custom enclosure under a deck and fix some small carpentry projects around the house. Chris showed up on time, was very personable and straightforward during the quoting process. He has a very pragmatic attitude to work and is a great listener. I found his pricing structure very easy to understand and transparent. He provided a good range of estimates and provided some guidance about unknowns which often rear themselves during such work. After work began on the barn it soon became evident that we had some structural issues due to rot and ant damage because of a poorly installed sliding door directly over a structural joist. Chris has the experience to understand what should be done and did a great job to resolve the issue in the most cost effective and safe way. Contractors in general doing such work can often over-index on 'what needs to be done' in order to make more money. However, I found Chris' approach to be very honest and practical. Regarding the carpentry work, I'm very pleased with the results. He has a great attention to detail and put together a great structure under our deck that does the job, looks great and has a high attention to detail. Chris had some methods to keep such a structure cost effective, while maintaining good air flow to prevent future rot. Chris also repaired a number of other rotting trim boards, deck boards, and repaired our basement door weather strip. Throughout the process Chris was always on time, kept the project site clean and safe, and got in touch as soon as a project turned up gremlins. Will hire again!
