Local Carpenters Near Philadelphia

“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.”

“I highly recommend Chris from Timberworks for your general carpentry needs. He does awesome work and was a huge help with my project to install two new exterior doors including a pre-hung unit with custom trim and finishing and hanging of a custom fabricated door. I was impressed by his high degree of professionalism and organization which allowed him to complete the jobs within the estimated budget and on time. He was also very flexible in working with my availability to complete the work after several delays on my end. Thanks Chris!”

“Tim has done some marvelous work on our home such as gorgeous moldings and built in bookcases in the library, a molding around the fireplace, built in window seat and bookcases for my daughter's bedroom and an entertainment unit that he came back to adjust years later when we bought a flat screen TV. Tim is professional, detail oriented and his work is of the highest quality. I will use him again for future projects.”
