CDH was responsive to call to review and schedule for work when weather was good. When a week-long break came recently they came and got the job done. The repainted area looks great, the work was done in one day, and the price was reasonable. House is good to go for years to come. Now for me to get working on the landscaping!!

Ben made a visit to our home to discuss our needs for this project. Then Duane, the owner, made a preliminary visit as well. We couldn't have been happier with the teamwork approach to our project.

We have had nothing but top notch work from Shawn and Ryan at Compass Carpentry! These guys know…read moreexactly what they are doing and how to do everything right (and if they don't know themselves they know who does). They work quickly, efficiently, and cleanly. They communicate very effectively and meet your needs. Their prices are not the lowest but neither are they the highest. They do wonderful work at perfectly reasonable prices and won't try to sucker their clients. Here is a sample of what we have had them do and it just keeps growing... Shawn resolved an electrical problem in three minutes that other electricians were estimating would take days. Shawn put in railings for our stairs and made a gorgeous mantle for our fireplace. Shawn also put up security lights for us. Shawn and Ryan replaced two broken down old windows with great new ones that are energy efficient. Shawn built a fantastic custom closet and laundry room cabinets for us that make the laundry room much more pleasant to be in and very functional and adjustable. We even had them build us a custom captains bed frame for my 6'8" tall hubby with storage drawers. Currently Shawn is repairing my Mom's back door and our gate that broke in the wind yesterday and tomorrow he'll be coming back to discuss a patio and garage project as well as fix some smoke alarms. I wish Shawn had been our home inspector because he immediately saw the issues we discovered only after we moved in. So now we are using his skills and knowledge to make our family homes better. They are great around kids too (an important thing for parents of small ones to note). I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

No transparency about cost of materials; wish I had asked for "time and materials" rather than…read moreblanket fee for kitchen job. Costs can be padded with a bid and you can't see where the extra cost comes from. If you make a change, you have no idea how it impacts the budget and you can't get the others who are subcontracted to communicate with you. Any surprise changes that cost extra are added on to the original bid, yet if something is less or you do it yourself, the bid does not change. The first day was demo and lots of dry wall cutting. No protection was put up for the rest of the house. I complained and the next day the plastic went up and the air filter in, but the interior house was already covered in white drywall dust and we all were coughing. This was a major courtesy oversight and health hazard; I have never had any other workers make no effort to protect the rest of the house. BS subcontracted much of the work out. Except for the cabinet guys who were exceptional, the subcontractors did not clean up after themselves. One of Smith's workers was a new hire (new to this kind of work) and after some brief instructions was left on his own all day. Later worker offered out of the blue he "is not a maid", although I saw on his time card he noted an hour for clean-up. I found that evening all the trimmings and dry wall powder on the floor under a light; didn't even pick up the large pieces. Dry wall guy was very nice, but left a big mud mess, including the deck and a handprint on the gate outside. BS did not have a consistent crew but sub-contracted out most of the work, which I could have arranged myself. I think this is where BS problem is; he seems to get things organized but then leaves the work to people he does not know very well in your house and does not keep tabs on them. Hard to know who to trust. Many details left unfinished at my request, but was told by BS he would be back the next week to put in the appliances. When he didn't appear and I tried to arrange it, I was told it would be time and materials to get them installed. So I am calling someone else and doing what I can to finish the project myself.

I wish I had read reviews prior to hiring. We experienced the same inconsistency and mistrust as…read morepast postings suggest. From start to finish there was a lack of communication, they did not keep us updated as it went along. Potential customers should know, we were told to pay more than expected to have the job finished - or they would file a lean! Threatening a lawsuit was horrible especially after how much money we had given them!!! They received what was needed to finish the job. They never completed what was expected. Rotten.

He is quick to respond, he is motivated to start work on the project and he will assist finding the most affordable but quality materials and suppies. Craig and his crew custom built and installed an oversized oak executive desk that houses a safe and storage; a two piece kitchenette for office (provides counter space, and an area built to surround sink & plumbing. An additional tall kitchen unit for custom coffee & tea station with storage); He and his team opened up space between 2 offices by inserting a custom door in the wall. Office is located in the historical district and space is rented - all of Craig's work was approved by Landlord. Excellent Craftmanship!
