Local Carpentry Services in Cobalt, Connecticut

I will definitely be using this company in the future for other home improvement needs that arise. For some background, I have an older home (early 1960's) and the doors that came with the house were warped, hollow-core, inefficient and ugly. Trying to replace them has been a chore. Mr. Handyman is the 3rd company we have tried this year, 6th that we have tried since we bought the house, with each contractor identifying more and more reasons that they did not want to replace the doors or how complicated it would be to replace them. Earlier this year we purchased new doors with one contractor who dropped out, and upon finding a new contractor they advised us that the threshold for each door needed to be a custom depth because the original doors were much deeper than a standard size today (which was not communicated by the other contractors.) After telling us how we could still use the doors we had, that contractor suddenly became difficult to pin down to schedule the work to be completed. Enter Mr. Handyman. Their website was very easy to use, I was able to request a quote for exterior door installation and the office manager called me the same day. I explained my situation, she told me she had someone who could take care of the job and about how many hours it could take, and we got the work scheduled to be completed. Jesse was the "handyman" assigned to my work, and he was very professional, knowledgeable, and skilled. While Jesse could see that this would not be a quick task, he was up for the challenge and completed the work in fairly close to the agreed upon amount of time. He spent two days here, one day he was assisted by his colleague James (who was also very professional) and the second day on his own. Our back door and storm door were removed and new ones installed, and then our front door was removed and a new one installed. While each door had its own quirks to be handled, he completed the work and took care to make appropriate recommendations for how to solve any issues that came up. The cost for the work completed was very reasonable. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs prompt, professional service at a reasonable price.

Great experience with James. Very knowledgeable and professional. Arrived on time and fixed everything we discussed at a reasonable price. I will definitely use them in the future.

They came in the time frame stated. Friendly answered questions we had.

Very friendly and quick.We will look to use your services in the future. Highly recommended.

Jesse Craig was very knowledgeable of the problem with my squeaky stairs,he went above and beyond to make sure every noise was gone.He was very neat and cleaned up everything after he was done.A job well done.I would also like to commend Cortney for setting up the estimate and repair in a timely manor.Thank you all,Ten **********s
