Local Carpenters Near Norfolk

“We asked and searched for a good carpenter for a built-in wall unit for many months. We found Nolan through a referral from a different carpenter. What a blessing! We called him and texted a picture of our built-in unit from a previous home. Nolan came to our house to see the space, take measurements and discuss the details of what we were looking for him to build. Basically a desk credenza with shelving unit above it. A few days later he gave up a price. We contracted with NolanBuilt, putting half down for purchase on the wood and other materials. Nolan said he needed three weeks to build it and install it. Three weeks later he bought over the base (essentially a wall-to-wall credenza) and installed it. The next day he brought the shelving unit. Then he spend two day finishing the unit to complete a beautiful built-in unit. We are thrilled with the finished produce! Aside from being a masterful carpenter, Nolan is a really great person! Very professional and extremely detail oriented. He’s unflappable, calmly making a late modification, and uses the best hardware for the job (I.e. soft closing hinges on the cabinet doors). In short, we’ve found our carpenter for future custom made tables, cabinets and other furniture!”

“James and Kelly run a top-notch business. We are a military family that has used General Repairs exclusively since 2008. James impressed us immediately with his conscientious and careful work. He measures twice before cutting, he takes his time to plan the project perfectly, and then he executes that plan with the expertise of a highly skilled craftsman. Since our lifestyle has taken us overseas much of our career we have trusted General Repairs to care for the upkeep of our home and repair. They have never let us down. They are always dependable, trustworthy and honest. Finding someone like James and Kelly has been a God-send. It is so nice to know that whatever we need it will be done right and with the care that I would give it. It also will be done a thousand times better than I would do it. I give my personal and professional recommendation to General Repairs and would do so without hesitation. When a company like this has shown this level of commitment and care over the past decade who else would I turn to.”
