Local Carpenters Near Ann Arbor

“I've had the benefit of working with Spenser Roed both professionally for my clients, and for myself personally. As a residential realtor, it is fundamentally important to have a highly respectable carpenter you can count on. He has become my go to person because of his exceptional service. His prices are fair, and his contractors are extremely respectful. They go above and beyond with their performance, and best of all, they clean up after their projects are complete. Spenser and his contractors helped me immensely when I was caught in a situation where my current carpenter quit in the middle of a project. They came in immediately and finished everything in a timely manner. They are courteous, hard working people who I would highly recommend.”

“I worked with Woodcraft on three different projects which have transformed my house. Their commitment to quality is beyond compare. They worked with me on the pricing which in the end was very fair. I could not be happier with their finished product. Also, the team is highly experienced and always very professional.”

“Remodeling your home is war. It requires careful, tactical planning – a full commitment to the resources necessary to win the battle, impeccable leadership, and a highly-skilled army. Charles Shiver is the general that we will follow into battle every time. Over the years, Charles has remodeled or built about half of our home – most recently our kitchen, which while modern and sophisticated, also fits perfectly into the spirit of a house built during the Great Depression. It boils down to experience, intuition, design sense, and execution. Shiver conquers every challenge and delivers victory. The kitchen is exactly what we envisioned, and it actually exceeds what I thought we could accomplish. When you consider a contractor, especially if you live in an older home where remodel jobs are never easy and a lot of money is on the line, choose Charles. Walls are bowed, floors sag, nothing is square: this dramatically affects everything from how your cabinets fit to the appearance of flooring, and from the way trim fits with other design components to how new windows wed with frames, all twisted by a foundation settling into old age. Mistakes can be costly both in time and money, but also in the aesthetic of the finished project. In our case, having built a huge addition with great room, master bedroom, and full bathroom, and now our beautiful kitchen, Charles Shiver delivered what we consider perfection. Another factor that cannot be stressed enough is the relationship you build with your contractor. Charles is courteous and friendly. He made sure the house was clean before he left to minimize the chaos that big projects cause. Unlike some contractors, he worked closely with us to coordinate the schedule and allowed us to take on tasks that fit our skill set. He built trust and backed it with skillful building and advice. As long as Charles wields hammer and saw, we will never go into a construction battle with another builder. Skip DeWall and Mary Hellner, Chelsea, MI”
