Recommended Reviews
I needed 3 interior doors installed. One man was sent out , took measurements. Then an office manager, not the installer, told me to buy pre hung doors with measurements. A week later, one man came to install the doors. He damaged the door frame, cracked the new door at the hinges, put caulking and filling everywhere to fill the damaged areas. It took him 8 hours and only installed one door, very poorly. It is a nightmare!! Then Fred Co. denies my review, says it's false. A good carpenter does not install a cracked door. This is an honest review.
The Only One I Will Call.
I hope this makes sense. They want your business, not your money. My first project with them was a kitchen about 25 years ago and one just completed this past January.
I don't get other estimates, I don't call anyone else to do the improvement/repairs. Not once have I been upsold on something I didn't want. I got suggestions and you can say "no." The communication on each step of the project was made clear and the timeline for the work never deviated. The care taken to contain the "mess" of the days work meant my wife was happy. The quality of the job was first rate. They take care of the little things to ensure there are no big things to have to come back to fix. I have them coming back in the Spring for more work.
Fred has completed two projects in our house that is 100 years old. The first project was the renovation of a kitchen and replacement of a deck which were both 30 years old. The second project was the renovation of a 100-year-old bathroom starting at the wall studs and floor joists. Both projects involved significant demolition activities. Fred's office and field staffs are extremely professional. Scopes of work are well defined, and the onsite personnel are true craftsmen who care about both their work and the client. The subcontractors and suppliers that Fred uses are excellent and well supervised.
