Carpentry Unlimited, Inc.

Very Professional. Takes the time to understand what you're trying to accomplish and recommends the best way to do it. Excellent craftsmanship, doesn't cut corners. Very fair pricing. Honest. Highly recommended.

CUI supervised, managed and constructed a 9200 sf speculative build New England Style Shingle home on a very difficult lot. The house has four levels, 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. It looks spectacular and won the HOBI award for best speculative house between $5M and $6M.

Carpentry Unlimited did an addition to my home that included an extra deep 2-car garage with a master suite on top. The work was done on time and the quality was excellent. They have actually done more work in my home since including my kitchen and build-ins around the fireplace. I highly recommend.

I have known Doug Alderman for nearly 30 years. During that time, his company has performed many commercial and residential projects for me both professionally and personally. He has a wonderful staff, solid subcontractors, and an excellent reputation. Quality, commitment, and integrity are traits that distinguish him above his competition. I will recommend Carpentry Unlimited, Inc. highly to anyone looking for an honest construction company that performs its work on-time, on budget, and with superior workmanship.

We loved working with the team from Carpentry Unlimited. Our addition (new kitchen, basement, mudroom, garage, 2nd floor bathroom, master suite) took eight months, and we lived in our home during the construction. By the end of the project, we were thrilled with the results and felt like members of the CUI family. I continue to recommend them to anyone who wants to do work on their home.

Carpentry Unlimited did a major renovation and a second floor addition to our home recently and we are very pleased with the results. Their team including the sub contractors are excellent in workmanship, professional and are courteous. Bruce who is our construction manager, did an excellent job in following up and coordinating with his team. He promptly responds to calls and gets the issues resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. I will be glad to recommend this company to my friends for any of their home improvement needs.

Carpentry Unlimited performed three significant additions and renovations on my home. Their work was excellent and we are very happy with their work. I found them to be courteous, fair and honest. If we had questions or needed additional help, they always responded immediately. I highly recommend them.

We have a 1920's Colonial and have just completed a ten month renovation project with Carpentry Unlimited. The end result far surpassed our expectations. Doug and his staff are professional, knowledgeable and are excellent craftsman. They take pride in their work and treat your home as if it were their own. We interviewed several contractors but were most impressed by Doug's references. All were very pleased with their experiences and many were repeat customers. We had a very positive experience and highly recommend Carpentry Unlimited. Hire them and you will be in very good hands!!

I have used Carpentry Unlimited for a few jobs now, the biggest of which were a garage addition and a new master bathroom. The garage was added in 2010-11. It was important to us that the garage look integrated into the house and not like an addition. There were several things that impressed us about CU: first and foremost the quality and caliber of the work and the attention to detail in the construction. Our friends and neighbors can't believe the garage addition is actually a garage! Inside it looks like a finished room. Neighbors told us it looked like the garage was always there, so we know that CU helped us to capture our goal. We also had cabinets built for inside the garage and they were extremely well done. Second, all of the sub-contractors were excellent in terms of the quality of their work, their suggestions and their attention to detail. Richie Powers, the plumbing sub, is so good that when we give tours of our house we always show them the mechanical room as the pipe and plumbing work looks like a work of art! Third, the price for the amount of work done and the caliber of the work, we thought was very fair. For the initial job we sought bids. CU was in the middle of the pack, but we felt we were going to get better service from them and we did. Doug Alderman, the owner, was always available when we needed him. He met with us on Saturday mornings because my husband and I both worked during the week. At the time we added the garage, we converted the house from fuel oil to natural gas, installed a generator and also re-did the family room with a flat screen digital HD TV and state of the art sound system. We were trying to run the fuel oil down so the tank could be removed, and one morning in the dead of winter we succeeded...and had no heat. I texted Doug and literally in 15 minutes he was at the house with a solution...on a Sunday morning. The master bathroom is stunning and was completed during the summer of 2014, and I took a lot of suggestions from Doug. It was easy for him to work through issues about how to address certain aspects of the construction so it looked good. I have never been steered wrong with Doug's suggestions. He rebuilt the back porch for us in a day as the back porch was used as our preferred means of entering and exiting the house. It was done in a day so we weren't inconvenienced. I wasn't planning on replacing the porch, but Doug saw something that wasn't right...and were were about 3 days from someone falling through it because of the dry rot found underneath it. For all the things said, I tried to be a good client, and to get the most out of CU here is what I did: 1) when a decision had to be made, I made it quickly after getting the alternatives from Doug, 2) I took notes during meetings and emailed a copy of them to his office manager, Kim, who made sure Doug had them, 3) when I got a bill I reviewed it right away, submitted any questions I had and then paid with within 24 hours. The most important thing is that I put a lot of time in up front discussing with Doug what I wanted and making sure the contract reflected every detail. For the last contract I appended, and Doug accepted, our email correspondence to document what I wanted. I made sure that I made as many decisions as I could before demo-ing started because making decisions on the fly leads to mistakes and overspending. I was very happy with CU; I enjoyed working with the entire Staff, I've missed them now the job is complete, and was thankful that when I came home every night my house was neat as a pin and construction mess was substanitally minimized. Finally, in every job mistakes get made. Everyone is human. Some of them were even mine! Doug always kept a level head, and worked the problem. He stood behind is work, and if it was a CU error, it just got fixed. If it was mine, I didn't get raped financially on the solution. I intend to use them again...but pssst...don't tell my husband...he doesn't know yet what I have planned! I am happy to speak with you if you have specific questions. you can reach me through CU.

We have worked with Carpentry Unlimited for a few years now. They have installed a new bathroom for us, new windows, a wall of French doors and completed various serious repairs to our old house. They are always completely professional, tidy, prompt and their workmanship is excellent.

Built an art studio approx. 1,000 sf. Could not be happier with Carpentry Unlimited. No complaints at all. Very knowledgeable and professional. Completed project on time and as quoted. Excellent craftsmanship. Kept me well informed of everything along the way and offered very helpful suggestions. Highly recommend this company without any reservations.

This is the very first time I have worked with a contractor and I can not rave enough at the quality of work and the attention to detail I received from Carpentry Unlimited, Inc. CUI has exceeded my expectations every step of the way, and I have been overwhelmingly impressed in all aspects of the project. It has been an absolute pleasure working with such devoted, conscientious, professionals with expertise in their specific fields. I was thrilled with the "touches" CUI brought to the work. Just first class ! They "own" the work and the customer's satisfaction. It was just amazing to be the recipient of their service, attention, quality to detail, follow through and genuine concern for the work. Doug sets the tone for excellence and this level of dedication carries throughout the project. I appreciate his commitment to perfection. A+ for this great general contractor and his teams.
