We were remodeling our basement and got several quotes, but Chris immediately stood out with a fair, reasonable price and a thoughtful approach that made us feel comfortable right from the start. What really set Chris apart was how involved he was before the work even began--and all the way through the project. He offered great design and layout suggestions we honestly wouldn't have thought of on our own, from flooring choices to lighting to small details that made a big difference. He also helped design the space so it functions like three different rooms while still feeling like one connected, open area, which completely changed how we use it. His team was on time, professional, and incredibly respectful. They put down protective matting as they went in and out of the basement, swept the floors daily, cleaned up debris as they worked, and treated our home with real care. They even took their shoes off before coming inside. It genuinely felt like they were remodeling their own home, not just doing a job. The crew truly felt like family, and the before-and-after transformation of our basement is incredible. There were also a lot of thoughtful touches that really stood out. On days when we weren't home, Chris and his team would bring our garbage cans up near the house on collection day, which was completely unexpected and very appreciated. Even after the basement was finished, they helped move furniture and larger items downstairs, which felt truly above and beyond. Our dog even loved them--and he's a pretty good judge of character. Throughout the entire process, they were consistently kind, considerate, and easy to have around. One highlight that still amazes me: Chris and his team stained the basement stairs to perfectly match our first-floor stairs. I honestly didn't think it could be done, but they took their time and absolutely nailed it. The drywall and framing work were done beautifully, and what really stood out was that Chris came back later to check on everything and make small touch-ups, just to be sure the work held up. That level of pride and follow-through is rare. They painted the ceiling black and were meticulous--no missed spots, no shortcuts. Everything was done with care. We agreed on a timeline, and they started when they said they would, finished on time, and left the space spotless when the job was done. To make things even easier, we simply picked out samples from Home Depot, and Chris and his team handled all the materials. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. All we had to do was make one call, do a little planning, and enjoy our new basement one to two weeks later. And honestly, our basement is now one of our favorite parts of the house. It's peaceful, quiet, and truly enjoyable. What we expected to be just a more functional space turned into a place we actually love spending time in. The whole experience felt exciting--almost like Christmas morning--watching it come together. The results completely exceeded our expectations. We're really happy we chose Chris and his team for this project. The experience was smooth from start to finish, the quality of the work speaks for itself, and we'd absolutely work with them again if we ever take on another remodel.

Chris and his team maintained great communication throughout and the entire project went very smoothly. What I appreciated most was their flexibility on timing as well as the ability to do various new work that came up as the project began. Anything that came up they were able to do and costs were very reasonable. Most of the design direction came from me, so if you prefer to have a contractor design for you that is something I'm sure they do but didn't get into much on this project. I enjoyed working with this company and would recommend them to others.

We hired Thomas to put in a baluster on our stairs, install crown moulding, a chair rail and wainscoting in the living room, foyer and kitchen. Prior to hiring Carpenty+You, we spoke with two other contractors. Neither of them exhibited the professionalism and passion for the craft quite like Thomas did. He was extremely knowledgeable and convinced us that he would do a great job - he definitely "talked the talked". Now, having been disappointed in the past by other individuals we hired, my wife and I questioned whether he could "walk the walk". Thomas exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond what we ever expected. We were stunned by how precise his measurements were (perfect miter cuts with absolutely no gaps). What impressed us even more is the time and effort he took to sand each of the corners where the pieces of wood were joined, thus making it flow perfectly. Thomas delivered great work within the time frame he promised. He cleaned up everything (saw dust, equipment, sandings, etc...) to the point that you would have never even known he was there. True craftsman! We HIGHLY recommend Thomas and Carpentry+You. Christos Sarris Chicago

Due to a family emergency, the project needed to begin with urgency. Over the course of more than a month, there was constant back-and-forth communication, and the shower floor pitch was installed incorrectly twice. I also clearly communicated that my flooring contractor would address the trim. Despite this, I received a text message stating they intended to stop work mid-project, leaving me with a broken and unfinished shower floor. This situation has been extremely frustrating, as I am now forced to find and coordinate a new contractor to fix and complete the work. Please use caution when considering this company. In hindsight, I regret not going with my original contractor.
