Thomas Farris
We had some rotted fascia boards and small section of soffit. They replaced all the bad fascia boards and soffit. The next day they sealed and painted all the new material and cleaned up before they left. GREAT JOB! I already asked for an estimate for replacing our back door.
Tom Rover
Great communication, prompt service, helpful advice. Had French doors installed after waiting for years, and I couldn’t be happier! We will definitely call again as we continue to remodel and upgrade our home.
Jennifer Perez
Three gentlemen arrived at my home on Tuesday to do two projects that I wanted done. They were all very kind and hard working. They completed the jobs in one day to my specifications and gave me suggestions that I had not thought of. I would highly recommend them and will certainly have them back to do more work.

Mr. Detter is quite the carpenter. Completely transformed a home I was renovating and made it like new. Guy knows his craft and does it all! Truly a professional and master carpenter. Did a really good job on doors, floors and trim work on for this project.
