Local Carpentry Services in Gillette, New Jersey

It went fine.

These guys are awesome, I've had several projects done by Bruce's team and they have been fantastic. They are organized, clean, on-time, professional. I will be using theses guys on future projects. A helpful tip: pick up items from supply centers for your project if possible. This may reduce the cost for supplies and time. They have helped me get things squared away prior to projects that could have taken some time (i.e.: supplies out of stock at centers, etc) that could have impacted the projects. Please note they are willing to make the purchases and add that to your materials list.

We needed replacement of the pair of windows in the front room of our 100 year old house. Everything went very well from my talk with the estimator about what we wanted, to the installation. The windows look great. All the "handymen" are very nice people.

I needed a large, heavy, (18000 BTU) window air conditioner removed and a new one installed in a school building with single-pane aluminum frame windows. Robert and Pete arrived early for the job, were very friendly and professional in their demeanor, and did an outstanding job on the replacement. They were very respectful of the area around the work site, taking care not to damage anything and making sure everything was tidied up afterwards. They completed the job in a remarkably short time, yet did solid work. Considering that they hadn't seen the job before arriving, and had to do some on-the-fly problem-solving for the install, I was stunned by how fast it was completed. I definitely recommend Mr. Handyman, and would readily hire them again for tough-to-solve oddball projects that don't fit into the "standard" trades.

<p>The problem with the old soffits was that they were nesting carpenter bees. Robert, the carpenter that was sent to do the job, carefully removed the old soffits and replaced them with new ones. At my request, the new soffits were backed by screen hardware to prevent the bees from drilling again.</p> <p>The job was completed in two visits.</p> <p>This contractor works on an hourly basis. So be sure of how long you think a job will take to complete. I miscalculated and thought it would take a few hours, but it would up needing more time. The man had to leave the job and come back when his company's schedule allowed. This was of a concern to me since I wasn't sure how long that time span would be and I had a "half-baked" job.</p> <p>Fortunately, Dave was able to squeeze me in on the following Monday and the job was completed.</p> <p>I had two problems: 1) Getting the discounts offered. I had to ask for it after I got that information from Angie's List representatives. I was a little disappointed that the contractor was not more forward in advising me the discount was available for Angie's List members. 2) I was taken aback when I was told Robert would not be back to finish the job until he had finished other jobs on the job list. If Dave had not been able to work the schedule for him to come back that would have been a problem for me.</p> <p> These two "problems" were why I chose the 'B' ratings above.</p> <p>Despite the above I have to say that Robert, the carpenter, was very congenial and did an excellent job.</p> <br />
