Nor'Easter Carpentry

I wanted a flight of stairs built for an existing deck. I messaged my point of contact back and forth [not sure of his name] about coming by for an on-site estimate. We set a time and date on a weekend I was available, but he forgot and had plans camping instead. So he came by during the work week while I was at work and wrote up a quote and emailed it to me. They requested $1100 deposit for $1900 set of stairs. After looking at the quote, and asking follow-on questions, I pointed out that the quote was in violation of some building code and sent him the building code requirements. This project is for a rental property, and a build permit & inspection was required. After buying a building permit and going back and forth for several months about the details, they ghosted when I wanted it in writing that they would comply with building code and any variations required by the build inspector would be payed for out of their own pocket.

Doug completed six projects for us, and I couldn't be happier with his work! He looks for cost effective solutions, tells you exactly how much it will cost, does great work and is tidy in the house. Doug is also a very nice person and is a pleasure to have around the home. He's dog friendly, too. I have an old lab, who is slow to move, and he was lovely with her. He's become our go to guy for all of our jobs!

Great price, on time, clean, courteous. Work done on time looks great cleaned up job site every day.
Planning on using Doug next project!
