**★★★★★ — Rebecca Beltzner, April 2019**

> Art and his crew have been out to my home for 2 separate projects.  His prices are fair, he is wonderful to work with, and he starts and finishes on time.  The work was exceptional, and i will not hesitate to hire him in future.  This is someone you can trust!
> For reference, he installed engineered hardwood in the 2nd floor of my home, and installed a gorgeous decorative iron and wood railing for my stairs and loft area.  The second project, he came back and built a closet in one of my rooms, and laid new hardwood to match my current hardwood in a bedroom.  Truly exceptional!

**★★★★★ — Amy W, May 2018**

> Aurthur and his team did a WONDERFUL job on our fireplace reno!  They are very skilled, detailed and kept me informed on what they were doing throughout the project!  Several times they called me in to make sure I was ok with what they were doing so the final result was exactly what we wanted!  I recommend them to anyone who needs woodworking done in their home and will for sure use them again!

**★★★★★ — Margaret K, July 2017**

> Highly recommended. 4 step outdoor residential wooden garage staircase with rails, July 2017, Bethlehem, PA. Excellent craftsmanship, sturdy and attractive. Carpenter Andy is professional, talented, efficient, safe, pleasant and pays attention to detail. Firm is responsive and price fair. Hire Arthur W. Mattes Jr. Company for your carpentry needs.

**Comment from AWM Carpentry LLC:**

> Thank you, Margaret!  We value your feedback and appreciate your kind recommendation.  We look forward to working with you again in the future!

**★★★★★ — Jessica Dayon, May 2017**

> Accurate estimate of price and timeline.  Professional staff.  Overall very happy with the company and finished job.  Would hire again.

**Comment from AWM Carpentry LLC:**

> It was our pleasure to work with you Jessica! Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Austin W, May 2017**

> Art and his team did a great job with our built in bookshelves. He worked with us on the design and had some great ideas for the finished product that we implemented. He was easy to get a hold of during the planning phase, and did computer mock ups which helped a lot to tweak the design. He did a long walnut counter top which came out simply beautiful. The install took about three days and him and his crew were punctual, polite, and a pleasure to work with. After they were done they cleaned everything up - there was no trace of them being there except for a beautiful new built in bookshelf! Will have no hesitate hiring him again.

**Comment from AWM Carpentry LLC:**

> Hope you are enjoying the finished product, Austin!  It was our pleasure to collaborate with you, we look forward to working with you again soon!

**★★★★★ — Cathy Enders, May 2017**

> This the second project Art is completing for us. He always does quality work and is reliable and dependable. Whether it is a large project like our total kitchen and first floor remodel or a smaller project like our basement 'wet bar' and stairs, the work is done right!

**Comment from AWM Carpentry LLC:**

> Thanks Cathy! Always a pleasure to work with you and Dave!

**★★★★★ — Tom Vaccaro, April 2017**

> We were extremely pleased with the cost, quality, and professionalism which Art   displayed
> throughout our  fireplace mantel surround project.  I highly recommend Art to others with  any carpentry project.

**Comment from AWM Carpentry LLC:**

> Thank you Tom! It was great working with you, sir!

**★★★★★ — Adam Lutri, April 2017**

> Art and his team did a wonderful job on the corner cabinets we had put in our dinning room.  Everything came out better than we could ever have imagined.  All of our friends and family love the wrok that was done.  I would highly recommend Art to anyone who wants quality work.  My wife and I couldn't be happier.

**Comment from AWM Carpentry LLC:**

> Thanks Adam!  We are so glad that you are pleased with the finished product!

## Community Q&A

**Q: how did you mount the led lights on underside of carpet?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Carpet under lighting

A: We installed a strip of wood under the nose that the carpet tucked to.  After carpet was installed the led light was installed.

**Q: foyer paint color** *(in Photo Questions)*

what color paint is this?

A: Sorry, I do not remember the color.

**Q: what is the ceiling height?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thanks!

A: That I don't remember.  I believe the lower cabinet is 36" high if that helps.

**Q: What's kept behind that closet door?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: They keep bathroom supplies in that closet.

**Q: Does this tile need to be redone?** *(in Remodeling)*

I'm pretty sure what the answer will be from other posts...but does this tile have to be completely redone? 
I was unhappy with the tile when it as first installed (tiles were not flat/even), and they said they would fix it. They did replace a portion of the tile. When I saw the supposedly finished product with grout applied, I was horrified--but they again said it as fixable. Fast forward a couple weeks, and they have finally admitted it is not fixable. They have suggested a couple workarounds (caulk, replacing just the edge tiles). This is all on top of a host of other workmanship issues and schedule delays.
My question is, can this be fixed (assuming I bring in a new contractor who knows what they're doing)? Or does the tile need to be redone completely? And how much of the originally agreed upon price should I expect to have to pay? (This was a complete reno, including demolishing down through the subfloor.) I was required to pay 50% in advance.

A: I agree with the others of a total redo.

I would hire a tile installer and not a jack of all trades.

As for the money.  Use what you didn't pay the first person to pay the new person and if the cost to fix is higher than what you still owe you should ask for a refund to cover the cost to fix.  Then the first person will at least be paid for the other things that were done.

Example. A flooring contractor started a railing install for a woman and messed it up a bit.  She told him not to finish and we came in to redo it.  The floor guy gave her the money back for the railing work and material that had to be replaced but kept the money for the flooring he installed throughout the second floor.  Homeowner thought  that was fair.

**Q: bench built in help please** *(in Photo Questions)*

interested in bench built in seating .
anyone have instructions or place that builds to specs

A: Hi Anne. You can contact us or a local finish carpenter to build it to your specs.  Our contact info is on our page.
