We had the upstairs of our 1920's cape renovated to include windows, laminate flooring, lighting and two new bedrooms. There were many challenges they faced with outdated electric, poor roof support, unusual angles and steep narrow stairs. They came up with solutions and finished the job timely and on budget. Everything was done professionally and exceeded our expectations. We chose this contractor through Houzz, and would highly recommend to others. **★★★★★ — Matthew Millar, Aug. 2017** > If you never have been through a complet 6,000 sq foot home renovation its hard to explain how many choices there are. One choice effects another Bill and his team were there with my family every step of they way. There wood working ability makes my dream home stand out. The mounding, pannling coffered ceiling are amazing. They are very organized, which help the project finish faster than expected. I would recommend Bill and his team to anyone who is looking for unparalleled craftsmanship. **★★★★★ — RIch Petrone, July 2017** > I am a Salesman with the ability to understand people very quickly. When I first met Bill it was clear he is not a salesman he is a craftsman. > > Here is the perfect example - > Bill and his team gave us ideas we never would have though of and everyone loves. He offered the ideas because he loves creating a beautiful and functional home. > > Other contractors are salesman period. They want the sale and their version of creativity is selling you a story of why it costs more now and will be finished later. > > We are able to live in the same home with all of our memories and only eight months it was transformed into a brand new house! **★★★★★ — john miller, July 2017** > My renovation was quite extensive. I need 3 bathrooms gutted and re designed, new open floor kitchen and 25x25 first floor extension. I asked all my friends for references. I like to do my research beforehand. I called 5 recommended General Contractors. One never called me back, another said he would come, and never did. One well know company salesmen did not listen to what my family wanted. It was like he was building his own home. > > Bills Creative Carpentry was the right choice for out project. Bill listened to what I wanted. He came up with helpful suggestions, and has a knack for design. His master carpenters build my kitchen by hand. They did not order it, they built it. The quality is how they used to build years ago. > The bathroom were reconfigured for a stand alone tub, and walk in shower. Bill was nice enough to pass on various discounts from his venders (tile discounts/ shower doors/counter tops) > We need a vanity that was not a standard size, Bill built us one to fit. It is something else, we are so pleased. **★★★★★ — Joe Lee, June 2017** > "Creative" is an understatement. Bill's Creative Carpentry was a pleasure to work with. The employees from owner all the way down are the best hands down. Bill always pick up the phone, when you have a question. They plan ahead (tell you in advance when to order appliances and decorative light fixtures) so you are not wasting valuable time waiting for things. My coffered ceiling and moulding came out incredible. With a full home renovation, there are many decisions. Over the years, I have had two other homes built in the Hamptons. There are countless choices (who new there are 100 different white paint colors) Bill helped me and my wife with the choices, and we stayed in budget. They are honest, fast and the quality of the work what separates them from the competition. **★★★★★ — Lakeville Kitchen and Bath, March 2017** > Working with Bill's Creative Carpentry, Inc. was an absolute pleasure and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Bill is truly a master carpenter and should be considered for any and all of your home improvement projects. **★★★★★ — ldemino98, Jan. 2017** > Bill and ha crew have done several projects in my home over the years. Their work is excellent, very professional while maintaining a friendly relationship with the homeowner. The quality of their work is superior to others and Bill will offer sound advice when asked. Bill has an eye for design which makes his work above other contractors. No job is too big or small. Whatever the job, Bill and his crew give it 100%. They recently completed a bathroom redo for me. I am very pleased with the results. They are quick, clean, honest and reliable. I feel comfortable leaving them in the house alone. They always lock up for me. I am very fortunate to have had Bill recommended to me years ago. **★★★★★ — Victoria Cahlstadt, Nov. 2016** > Bill and all of his workers are professional, reliable, and precise with all his work. I have had Bill and his team redesign our bathroom, replace our floors and repaint our living area, redesign one of our bedrooms and renovate our kitchen. We had an emergency construction job and Bill was there immediately to help. He doesn't overcharge or pressuring you into getting things you don't want. He truly looks out for the customer and their needs and I would recommend him and his team to everyone. We look forward to working with Bill on all of our future home renovations. **★★★★★ — wendymadds, Nov. 2016** > Bill's Creative was priced right, but more importantly - they're work was outstanding. Billy and his crew work quickly and efficiently. Additionally, they are honest and trust worthy. I have no second thoughts at all about not being home when they are working. A+ group of guys!!!! We've used them more times than I can count!!! **★★★★★ — bassin2010, Nov. 2016** > I used Bill for a kitchen renovation along with other projects. Very professional. Completed the project on time and we were extremely pleased with final product. Would highly recommend **★★★★★ — ltdan114, Nov. 2016** > I met Bill Klein when he was working at the home of a neighbor and was so impressed by the caliper of his work I hired him to install a new kitchen. > He and his staff did an amazing job. His workmanship and knowledge as a contractor are second to none. He gives you an honest estimate and completes the job on time. > Bill and his highly competent staff are currently working on a fifth project in my home; yes, I said fifth project. This alone should tell you how happy I am with his work and alone should stand as a testament to the quality of his work. > The photo of the fireplace is one of the projects he did for me. **★★★★★ — Phillip Fallon, Nov. 2016** > Professional from start to finnish! I had exterior paint, new fascia boards put up and sofits installed. The owner Bill was very easy to talk to and helped us with ideas to achieve the results we were looking for. My house is a small ranch house with cedar shake siding, they did an excellent job of stripping the old paint off before the new paint went up. I am very happy with the results! ## Selected projects - [Exterior Facade Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-facade-renovation-pj-vj~2101337) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Wet Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wet-bar-pj-vj~2594367) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Landscape & Masonry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscape-and-masonry-pj-vj~2582571) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Custom Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-master-bath-pj-vj~2835457) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fireplaces-pj-vj~2014305) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Traditional Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchens-pj-vj~2581320) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: Custom built kitchen. - [Round Room Bath Custom Vanity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/round-room-bath-custom-vanity-pj-vj~2101324) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Custom Vanity built - [Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-pj-vj~2277776) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Spa Style Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spa-style-bath-pj-vj~2835458) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Home Facade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-facade-pj-vj~2170533) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: All original paint was sand blasted off, all damaged shingles were replaced, new fascia trim installed along with new soffits.

We have no idea where to place the tv!! My husband prefers symmetry which is tricky with this set up. We are considering painting the fireplace white Or tearing it down. Please help! A: Looks like a gas firebox? Could remove stone, and move box over to Center. It’s a little involved if u have the time. Or, another idea, build out over the stone with a built in. Book case, shelving, etc. Could leave some stone showing around mouth of fireplace. **Q: What is the flooring in this picture?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I want to say that it is wood plank porcelain tile, if u notice it looks to have grout joints, wood does not have that even when whitewashed or pickled. **Q: What is the wood on the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the wood on the cabinets and what are your stools. Thanks! Love both. A: Looks like rough sawn pine, it has chatter marks from the planer. Obviously intentional. Looks very similar to t-11 ply, just smoother **Q: Brightening a kitchen…w/out windows?** *(in Design Dilemma)* We're planning a kitchen remodel, and we'd like to brighten things up, but the only exterior wall in the kitchen faces our neighbor's house, which is only 8 feet away. We can't do skylights, either. How do we get more light, or at least more lightness, in a Craftsman style kitchen, without going all white? (The picture doesn't really do it justice, and is from our initial look at the house; that's the realtor in the shot.) A: Definitely agree with removing drop ceiling and raising height. Idea - awning style windows - keep them high on wall if u chose no frosting, this way your not looking directly at your neighbor or install at backsplash level with frosting maybe flanking the stove. If u put that in middle. Pending color palette u could go with a gray on cabinets. Darker counter is good if all else is lighter, something like this pic. **Q: Ever green trees issue** *(in Design Dilemma)* We have a row of evergreen trees in the back yard that look like they are starting to wilt. Anyone have any advice on what we can do to save them? A: Causes the brown coloring on bushes **Q: How to seal this wood table top?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi, I have this old reclaimed French dining table that I never sealed as to not change the look but it's tricky to keep clean so I have to finally give in and seal it. I looked into different options (shellac, tung oil etc) but haven't got a clue what to go for. Any recommendations? I'm looking for something that protects the wood but doesn't change it's colour and appearance too much. Unfortunately I can't remember what type of wood it is but hopefully this pic helps... Thanks very much! A: Looks like it is pine, with a slight pickling stain. Can purchase stain to touch up scratches and such, if u don't want to have to refinish, polish every 6 months, u can go with water based polyurethane finish. It is clear and u can get a relatively flat finish ( meaning not glossy). It will say on can. Good Luck... --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-13.*
