Tradesmen completely updated the appearance of one side of our home using modern materials to replace weather-worn wood and replacing a window and a door with excellent results. They also repaired and updated the railing around our deck. We are looking forward to next Spring when they will replace the front entrance. Meanwhile, we plan to use their expertise to remodel a bathroom upstairs.
I couldn’t be happier with the two-story deck Alex built for me. His attention to detail was outstanding, and the finished deck is incredibly solid, exceeding my expectations in every way. He consistently went above and beyond, communicated clearly throughout the entire project, and made sure everything was done right. It’s rare to find someone who takes this much pride in their work. I would confidently recommend him to my family, friends, or anyone looking for a skilled and dependable carpenter.
I am pleased to have the opportunity to tell you about the skills of Alex, aka, The Tradesmen. Alex has helped me maintain my home for many years now. I like to do needed repairs as they arise, to avoid larger problems. As soon as I see something, I call Alex so he can put me on his busy schedule. I have used many contractors in my day, and Alex is the best I have seen. No matter how large or small the project, his work has always been of the highest quality, as well as on budget and on time.
Alex, Driscoll, aka, The Tradesmen, is an excellent person to work with. I called in him to replace my front door and my back slider. This was a big investment for me, and speaking as a widow, it is important for me to have someone who is trustworthy, honest and would partner with me to do a job that I could be proud of and happy with. Alex treated me with respect and as though I was his most important customer. He is an excellent business man, he works out scheduling with customer consideration, he is prompt, honest, flexible and works cleanly and efficiently. He is an impressive and skilled Tradesman.
We have a 100 year old home that we’ve always maintained ourselves. Recently, we had light smoke and soot throughout our two-story house due to a faulty gas stove. We contacted The Tradesmen LLC to come and give us an estimate. Alex was quick to respond. He came and walked all of the rooms and discussed with us the process he would be using to correct our problem. This included cleaning the smoke and soot from the walls as required, moving all of the furniture and applying two coats of paint throughout the house. This included kitchen, dining room, living room, entry way and steps leading to the second floor and upstairs hall way. We had other estimates but they did not include the cleaning that was required, or moving the furniture, so we would have had to coordinate with a cleaning service and also move the furniture ourselves. We decided to go with the Tradesmen LLC since they would be doing the whole project. They started on a Monday prepping which was moving furniture and protecting floors and masking woodwork. The original woodwork has never been painted. The masking that was done was superior. Alex and the crew worked from 0800 to 1700 each day. They were punctual and left the house in neat condition at the end of the work day. They completed the job on Friday and we did a walkthrough with Alex to approve of the work that was accomplished and to correct anything that we saw that was missed or not accomplished. There were a few spots picked up that his crew corrected immediately to our satisfaction. The care and protection of the woodwork, floors and furniture was excellent. Alex was either on the job site or came and started his crew with instructions on what was needed to be accomplished. We are highly satisfied with the professionalism of The Tradesmen LLC work that was done and would highly recommend The Tradesmen LLC. Geno & Mary B. Westbrook
