I had a ceiling fan that the light would not turn off at one of my rental properties. My regular handyman had moved out of state so I was scrambling to find somebody to go over and take a look. Darryl came by one evening after work to take a look at my fan and troubleshoot. Instead of just replacing fan, he figured out what was wrong and came back and made repair in a timely manner. He kept my tenants and I updated and sent simple invoice that I paid within 24 hours of completing the work. Will definitely reach out for future work. Sam read more

Darrell is a nice guy but full of excuses. He was contracted to make a pantry. He was way out of his league. He should have communicated his inexperience but instead spent a month making doors putting them up and taking down doors but was not successful. He left without completing project. We had to spend so much time trying to fix his messes. Now we have to contract a real cabinet maker to make his doors work. A waste of $1500! To make things worse were his excuses for not showing up when we had arranged what family drama-son, son in law, wife, wife's uncle.... I could say more but i hope you get the picture. read more

I have worked with Darrel a couple times now for a couple toilet replacements and a couple ceiling fan installs, Darrel is knowledgeable and quick at getting things done will be reaching out to him for all our future projects! read more

Darrel is reliable, always on time and did great work fixing a few gate and fence issues. Highly recommended!

Darrel responded the same day and came to my house the next morning. He spent plenty of time fixing my front door - it just needed to be realigned, longer screws in the hinges. He easily could have found more things to do and charge us more but told us these other things weren't a big deal. We will definitely call Darrel again when we need his services. read more

Darrel has done a variety of work for me including replacing 3 fans and a large light fixture. He also added bubbled glass to my cabinet doors and added custom cabinets to my laundry room. Darrel is an excellent craftsman and is professional as well. I will definitely be using him for other work in my home. read more

We wish there could be a thousand clones of this skilled, conscientious, competent and fair kinda guy. He can and will do just about anything you need done and he enjoys his work, takes pride in the finished product and likes to offer quality services. Knowledgeable with a good attitude about challenges and life in general. His fee schedule is clearly communicated and we look forward to working with him again. MC read more

Made an appointment for 5 pm Monday evening. No one showed up. Had to call + email to see if we were still on. It got to be 5:52 before I got the call asking for my address, meaning I was going to have to wait 20 more minutes on top of that. I cancelled the appointment; I got tired of waiting around. Owner told me 'good luck finding anyone else' - I found that rude and unprofessional. I do not recommend them. read more

Great job, professional and helpful. Will hire again for future projects, in fact we had him quote us for our next project while he was working on our sink! read more

Darrel did a great job with some doors replacement. He is super attentive and giving prompt responses to my doubts. He had a great attitude and for sure I will use him again for further projects. Highly recommended! read more

Darrel responded quickly and came by to look at our project that same day. He was cautiously optimistic but once he'd seen our front door, reassured us it could be repaired rather than replaced, saving us thousands! We were so pleased with him, his craftsmanship, and his more-than-fair price, we've hired him for further work next month. My only hesitation in giving such a glowing review is he will get too much work and we won't be able to hire him down the line. Seriously, I HIGHLY recommend him. read more

We had a 10x10 gazebo assembled and mounted to our concrete patio along with outdoor lights hung in the gazebo. Darrel did a great job overall. Very efficient, did the job right and he showed up on time. I would highly recommend Knotty's Custom Carpentry. read more

Knotty's Custom Carpentry - Assembled 10x10 gazebo with outdoor lights installed. - Handyman Near Me

Very quick response to initial request for estimate. Came by and looked at my two projects on March 10, 2022. Very personable and seemed eager to work. Discussed possible project scenarios, gave me his card, and said he would send me the estimate. He didn't. The following week I emailed him, thanking him for his time and saying I look forward to receiving the estimate. He responded via text a few days later, apologized, indicating he had gotten very busy, but he would email me the estimate soon. Today is March 22, and I still have not received it. I hired somebody else today. UPDATE: It is 4/10 and still have not received an estimate and texts/emails have gone unanswered. read more

Although my original request hasn't been finalized yet -- as it's a large job -- I did utilize Knotty's for another, slightly smaller project. They were super easy to work with, professional, did great work, and I will certainly be calling them again! read more

Darrel and his brother, Dan (sorry if I got your name wrong again, Darrel's brother) are absolute gold. In today's day and age, it is damn near impossible to find someone who will do the job correctly the first time. Knotty's does a complete and thorough job, better than you would do it yourself, even if you could. Why? Because Darrel is one of those few craftsmen left who takes personal pride in his work. Each job is a statement about his character. I was remodeling my house -- moving walls, windows, new floors, the whole shebang. I had to clean up after everybody, had to recall the electrician three times, endless cleaning up of everyone else's messes after I paid them to do the work! Knotty's was the ONLY exception. My rustic solid wood front door was fading and cracking due to exposure to the elements over 12 years. Darrel removed the door and completely restored it. It looks better than new. When he and his brother reinstalled the door, they also restored the framework, and again, everything looks better than new. I also had Darrel install tension hinges on several doors. He had to do a little carving into the frame. Everything fits precisely, perfectly vertical, like it was manufactured that way. He was not satisfied until the tension was adjusted just right and now the doors close every so gently. And he cleaned up so it looks like he was never even there.  If you're looking for a carpenter, a handy man, someone to restore your woodwork, stop looking. This guy is the best.  Precise, quality work. A real artisan. read more

Darrel from Knotty's is meticulous, trustworthy and very fairly priced. I just moved here and will have him on speed dial! Great work at a good price. read more

Darrel has repaired some solid wood interior doors for us and Darrel and Dan recently completed an exterior deck repair. They are craftsman and take pride in their work. They communicate well, are detail oriented, and both are highly professional. They exceeded our expectations on the exterior deck repair and we will definitely use them again for future projects. Thank you! read more

Excellent craftsmanship. Very detail-oriented. He was able to repair things that others only repaired to last long enough to get paid. Very thankful. read more

Darrel provides prompt and professional service. I would recommend Knotty's and call on them for future projects.
