After getting a glowing recommendation from our neighbor across the street, we had Sy and his team install new storms and screens on our older house. It was a large project with complications inherent in an older home. These people are fabulous. We could not be more pleased with their workmanship, diligence, and professionalism. Sy was very responsive and timely. They started the project. They worked on the project. They completed the project. If Sy said he was going to show up at 8:30 he showed up at 8:30. Not 8:31. A+ in all respects. read more

Have you ever gotten compliments on your storm windows? We have! We needed new storm windows for our 1923 home in St. Paul to replace some cheap looking and inefficient aluminum storms, and we hired SP Custom Carpentry because they work on historic properties. We wanted storm windows that would look nice with our original double-hung windows and we did not want ugly vinyl replacement windows. SP replaced 16 storm windows and outfitted two wood storm doors with custom removable windows and screens. Sy's patented product is a wood frame with modern "innards" that allow you to slide the storm windows and screens up and down. They are removable for cleaning. Not only do the storm windows look great, but they also improve the energy efficiency of the house. Plus he's great to work with and stands by his product. Be sure to get a thorough understanding of how to clean the four drainage holes (there are two drilled into the bottom of the screen frame and two on the bottom of the wood frame). Those holes need to be cleaned periodically with a pipe cleaner. read more
