And, he is an excellent problem solver who can implement solutions. The doors came out great as did the mortar work. In the middle of his work, we had a leak, and James discovered the source as coming from a dormer. He fixed it and replace all the siding perfectly. The leak is gone. James is polite, timely and responsive. If he has to change his schedule due to weather, he calls. He cleans up each day very neatly, a big plus! And his skills go beyond carpentry. His prices are fair and his work is high quality. We recommend him highly and will use him again.

James wrapped all of our old trim with aluminum to make it look brand new while maintaining the architecture of our home with three stained glass windows.
