Verified record
True North Carpentry Services is a one-name-you-keep operation — five-star reviews keep circling back to Jamie Norden himself, who evidently handles the estimate, the work, and the follow-up conversation. The jobs described range widely: a couch repair the same afternoon he was called, cabinet installation and a full hardwood floor redo with matching trim, and a water-damage repair. That range — furniture, flooring, cabinetry, structural fixes — is the through-line: this reads as a generalist carpenter people call when something specific needs fixing right, not a company built around one signature renovation. The track record so far is short but consistent: 7 reviews between January 2025 and April 2026, every one five stars, and several go well past a one-line compliment. A property manager who says she deals with many service companies called this one the best she's worked with, and noted Jamie emailed before-and-after photos and coordinated directly with her tenants. Another customer, hiring him after water damage, said he explained each step and how it would head off future problems. A third found him through an Angi post after being left hanging by a different contractor, and says he put together a plan on the same visit. There isn't much here to flag. Nothing in the record raises a licensing, pricing, or scheduling concern, and the reviews are recent enough — several landed within the past year and a half — to reflect current work rather than an old reputation coasting on inertia. Given the mix of jobs, it's worth being specific when calling: describe exactly what needs doing, whether it's a repair, an install, or a flooring job, since the reviews suggest he scopes each project individually rather than running a standard package. For anything from a broken door to a full room's trim and flooring, the pattern in these reviews is a contractor who shows up when he says he will and explains what he's doing along the way.

Awesome bathroom renovation! Jamie Norden was pleasant, professional and very knowledgeable. Got the job done in a timely manner.
5+ Stars and would absolutely recommend. Was struggling to find a reliable contractor or someone that could complete a job without having to call multiple other specialists in. After being left hanging by another company I posted an add on Angie and ended up finding Jamie at True North and really happy I did. He came out promptly, assessed what I was trying to do and quickly put together a plan to get it all done. He not only made sure everything was built/installed correctly but also explained some of what he was doing along the way as well as pointed out potential future problems that I would never have realized. Completed the project in a great timeframe even though we added things along the way and was very good keeping the lines of communication open so I always knew what was going on. Very pleased the work, will be hiring again in the future for other projects, and would recommend for just about any job you need done because chances are Jamie can get it done and get it done right. Thanks again!
Great service! He came by the afternoon I called him and quickly repaired our couch. Prompt and courteous service, I would definitely recommend Jaime to my friends!
We hired Jamie of True North to repair extensive water damage to our property. He always showed up when expected and we couldn't be happier with our results. He took the time to explain what he was doing and how it would prevent future problems. He is very thorough and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Jamie is fantastic! He installed cabinets in our kitchen as well as redid our hardwood flooring throughout our house as well as the trim! He did amazing. We’d use him again and recommend to others!
