“Jeff has done a variety of projects for several of our properties over the last year. The most recent project was a large deck to our new home. He has also installed wood paneling, built an addition to our son’s home, built a deck on our son’s home, and many other smaller projects as well… Jeff worked with his team in the cold winter months to finish to project on time. The workmanship of First Chair Carpentry is gorgeous and the finished project is everything we hoped for. Jeff was responsive to all our questions, provided details regarding costs and time, provided receipts and came with a smile and a great attitude to the job.”
“I have known Jeff for many years and have admired the work of his that I have seen on other projects. When I had a bathroom renovation in my own house, I was thrilled to bring Jeff in on the project. His work was just what I expected- professional, fast and well done. He is a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to hiring Jeff for future building projects.”
“Jeff is a very talented carpenter. From the start, his focus was on creating our vision– and he had some great ideas and suggestions of his own that really complimented and enriched our project. He brought our vision to life. He is also a class act. Highly recommended!”
