Services EXTERIOR CARPENTRY & DECKS (SELECT RENOVATIONS)

I recently purchased a condo “as is” knowing there would be potentially a lot of fixing up & repairs to be made. I hired Milton to replace my stair treads & risers after having an original rug removed from the whole staircase. The staples used left the wood damaged & unable to be sanded or repainted. When he came to do a consult, we discussed he would be building a new banister, spindles, and installing a new railing to go along the outside for safety, as the existing one was not to code height. Milton sent me a proposal with what we discussed within a few days. I agreed to move forward feeling confident he would get the job done as explained. When he first began the project, he immediately made me aware of his concerns, once he saw what was beneath the few steps he removed. He explained the support under the steps was not done correctly and that the framing of the staircase was in question as a result. He advised me to consider demoing the whole staircase to start new, as the integrity was not going to hold up eventually even with new treads /risers. He strongly recommended I seriously think about this as an option. He revised his proposal and I agreed to trust his professional opinion. It took 1 day to demo the staircase and 1 day to frame out a new one. From that day on Milton kept me informed of progress with phone calls & pictures of what he had done. Before the project was done, I asked for a change in how to enter into my half bath (under the stairs) Milton was able to make the necessary adjustments to meet my request and was still able to still complete the new project within a time span just under a week in half from full demo to finished. Milton also was able to install my new main front door and ensure that it was fitted and securely put into a new frame etc. These updates have already added value back into my new home! The work was finished on time and the area was also left cleaned up leaving little trace of any construction project! His finish work was well done and having that custom woodwork will add to the homes value a great deal! I would recommend Milton and feel his professionalism also adds to his craftsmanship. His honesty about the condition of my stairs shows that he takes his work seriously and he didn’t want to just cover up a problem. I am Very satisfied! See more See less

I needed a external second story stairway replaced and contacted Milton about the job. He set up an appointment and arrived on time, viewed the job and got back to me quickly with a quote. He provided me a work schedule and he and his crew started the job on time. As the work progressed, major water damage and rot was uncovered in the siding, framing and sills. Milton was very professional and informative in explaining the cause of the problem and providing a corrective solution. He provided an estimate for the cost of the additional required work and added time to complete. He and his crew completed all the work on time and on budget. The job turned out excellent I will definitely use his services again in the future.

Milton Carpentry did two projects for us and both were excellent. They first repaired and painted my front porch, columns, and basement door trim, and because I was so happy with the results, I hired them again for attic framing work. They are punctual, professional, and very careful to protect floors and keep the workspace clean. The quality of their work and attention to detail are outstanding. Communication through the process was also excellent. Highly recommend. See more See less

I recently spent weeks trying to find a company that would do 3 small repair jobs at my house. Finally I stumbled on Milton and for the first time someone said my jobs were worth taking a look at. He came to look the same day I called and started the jobs the next day. In addition to Milton being very easy to talk to, he is efficient, neat and a great carpenter. He is returning in a few weeks to do the third job and I am really excited to have him back. If you need something don, no matter how big or small, give him a call. See more See less
