Local Carpenters in Middletown

“We had several rooms of the house painted as well as an exterior wooden porch railing. The back sunroom required the most work. The room was originally monochrome, so the ceiling needed to be patched and painted white and three walls needed to be a different color. Then we had a brick wall which needed to be painted white. The kitchen walls were re-painted. The upstairs bedroom ceiling was re-painted. The outside front porch railing needed scraped, skimmed, primed and painted as well as a small portion of exposed wood on the side of the house. Ted was among 4 painters from whom I obtained estimates. Each gave their opinion on what they though should be done in the sunroom which was the most complicated area. Ted was the most precise and knowledgeable. He backed up his opinions with fact and logic. His estimate was not the highest nor the lowest. But he was the only one who broke down the estimate in a clear and concise manner enabling me to choose some or all of the options. He then emailed me a list of references to contact. All the references I contacted praised his work ethic and performance. He then came over with the contract and clearly explained what each section meant before we both signed it. The work was started three days later as he had promised and he sent his best painter, Jules, to do the job. Jules was amazing. His careful attention to detail, his respectful attitude and meticulous methods made things go smoothly. The entire job took about 5 days. At the end of each day, Jules cleaned up the work area and neatly arranged his supplies in a corner out of the way. He was the most easy going, fastidious person I have ever met. When there was a lapse in communication and he inadvertently painted the brick wall green instead of white, I called Ted and the problem was immediately fixed, no questions asked. I kept apologizing to Jules but he just said, "don't worry, it's not a problem." He is a rare find, in my opinion. Ted stopped by on the third day, to check everything and make sure the work was satisfactory. I would not hesitate to recommend Ted and his team to anyone and welcome the opportunity to provide him a reference.”

“We hired Woodworks of Wilmington Inc. to design and build some custom cabinets for our new home. From the first call, they were great to deal with. Very accommodating with our schedules, Scott was also able to make a few recommendations that we hadn't thought of that really added to the overall impact. During the process they let us know how things were moving, and were able to adjust their schedule to keep up with the moving target of building our new home. They were always on-time and extremely respectful of our home - we could not have asked for more. Scott and Scotty were also very easy to talk with and work with. We felt we were working with friends! They followed up after the installation to make sure everything was okay. We have had nothing but positive comments from friends and family when they see the cabinets, and we highly recommend them. The workmanship was excellent, more than year later, the cabinets still are awesome, and if we ever need more woodworking done, we will be calling them.”

“Brian of Focal Point Customs is one of our recommended contractors. Not only are his installations beautifully done, but he is easy to communicate with and he is well-liked by his clients. We at StoneMar highly recommend Brian's work.”
