This is my very first Yelp review, and I truly felt this business deserved an excellent one. All…read morethe positive reviews you see are absolutely accurate. Professionalism: The team at Your Carpenter Friend was professional, meticulous, and clean, and they did an excellent job repairing dry rot around our home. They were so good that we've already recommended them to a couple of friends, and I hope they get the opportunity to work with them as well. Licensed: Yes Pricing: Pricing was reasonable and on par with other vendors we considered. Recommendation: Yes--100% recommend them. We plan to hire them again next year for additional work in the spring/summer, and I'll be happy to update this review then. Skill: They are truly skilled carpenters (Brendan, Zach, and Sam), which feels rare these days. While I don't do woodworking myself, I can certainly recognize and appreciate quality craftsmanship. In several areas, Zach and Sam came up with creative solutions to ensure water would not sit on the wood. They also discovered additional dry rot during the project and always consulted with us and obtained approval before proceeding. They worked non-stop--even in the cold! Work: I initially contacted Brendan for a mix of handyman work along with exterior dry rot repairs. He was honest and upfront about what could realistically be done during the dry season, so we decided to focus solely on the dry rot repairs. As it turned out, Brendan is a former termite inspector--perfect for anyone needing dry rot repair. They worked at our home for 3 days. There was one small area that wasn't painted on one side; once we brought it to his attention, Brendan came back the very next day to fix it. Their goal is clearly to make the customer happy, within reason. BTW -- he also does decks. Thank you, Brendan & Team!

Brendan came out to assess the project and provided a fair and detailed estimate within two days. He answered my questions clearly and honestly, and didn't try to upsell me on other potential work that I didn't ask for. Once I accepted his estimate, he scheduled the job in a very timely manner. He and his guys completed the job on schedule and on budget, which sadly seems like a rarity these days. I greatly appreciate Brendan's communication style and professionalism, as well as the high quality of the work he performed. I am planning another home exterior project next spring and would not hesitate to use this company for the carpentry work.

They installed 3 new windows and a set of patio doors for my house. They were super responsive in every stage of the process. Emails were usually returned within an hour and always within the day. Their lead time estimate in getting the windows made was spot on. The quality of the windows feels good so far. I have a 100+ year old house with big old solid wood windows and I'll admit the new vinyl ones don't have the charm or look/feel of original wooden ones. But Windows4U also convinced me that replicating this old look would cost 4x as much. And its not their fault I chose the vinyl ones. They installed all the windows and door in one day and the team that was onsite worked HARD. Shout out to Mikhail and Vladimir who did a great job. They cleaned up everything so well it was hard to tell they were ever here.

Alfredo is a top notch professional and the right man for the job!…read more I started this project with an odd request. I wanted a bifold door that opened 180 degrees. I have a limited size office space and found it annoying that my door was taking up almost 3ft of wall! So after some Googling I found a door that would solve my problem for my niche space. I recieved quotes from a handful of people, all of which were uncharging me for expensive custom door hinges or trying to offer alternatives which would not fit the space. When I sent the project request to Alfredo, we discussed the project in detail and, while he had never done this style of door before, assured me it would not be any more difficult than any of his other interior door projects. On top of that, after discovering that my current door was solid wood, he said we could simply reuse it and save me some money. He picked up my door, took it to his shop, and came back later that week to install it. He went above and beyond what I had envisioned and even repaired the old holes from the previous door installation (the door was preciously installed on the other side of the frame. I could not be happier! Next time I have an interior door project, Alfredo is my guy! Thanks again! Boom boom!
