Bathroom - Remodel
Yes, I recommend this pro
He was polite and completed the work he promised. However, the work he subcontracted out was slightly lacking in overall quality and finish.
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"This review is the first I have known of any dissatisfaction at all with the vinyl flooring install. I have written to this customer to get the details and have offered to correct whatever has not met with their complete approval. Its been about two weeks since I contacted this homeowner and he has not returned my calls. We are still very willing to do whatever we can to give complete satisfaction. We did several things to ensure a quality job that were not part of the scope of work and were not charged for, demonstrating very practically that we are committed to excellence if given the chance."

Bathroom - Remodel
Yes, I recommend this pro
He is doing a very good job so far and I expect he will continue to do so. As with any contractor, things sometimes take longer than they originally thought which was our case. We were without tub/shower usage for about 8 days and were originally told it would be 3-4 days. But that's to be expected. The quality of work is excellent and he's someone you can trust in your home while you are at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and conscientious contractor. He won't do wrong by you at all. His pricing was right within the same range as 2 others from whom we received estimates.
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"Many apologies for the delay in returning the shower to service! Sometimes things don't go quite as well as planned. We tried to make up for this a bit with discounts on some extra work they wanted done."

They did a wonderful job which surpassed my expectations. It did take a little longer then we expected but it was worth the extra time.
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"Patti and her husband were wonderful to work for and we had fun enlarging their shower space and improving its looks with a tile surround and tiled seat. We also tiled her kitchen backsplash over new quartz tops and the kitchen really pops now!"

From start to finish the job was done very professionaly. I was impressed as to how neat the area was left at the end of each day. The cost that was quoted to me is what I paid with only a few extra dollars that paid for things not expected. I highly recommend Art Tomlinson & Son.
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"This proved to be a challenging installation in an older home. It was very satisfying to help Sally get the kitchen she had wanted for many years."

Deck or Porch - Build or Replace
Yes, I recommend this pro
Honest, beautiful craftsmanship - I would highly recommend them.
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"Nancy had an ugly old cement slab for a front-of-the-house deck which we were able to replace with a low-maintenance WeatherReady pvc deck and rail. We discovered that the slab's construction had led to a rotted band joist not visible from the interior which was repaired. We're happy that she is pleased!"

reliable and honest. I felt completely free to leave them with their work alone at my home. The resutls were very good and I plan to use them again. If I may make one comment I would like to suggest that they pay closer attention to detail. But on the whole I was very pleased with the outcome of this project.

Art was great. He was respectful and cordial to my Mom and the ultimate professional. Being deployed away from home, it's important to have a contractor who takes pride in their work and treats my Mom with respect. That was one stress I didn't have to deal with. Our bathroom looks great. Mom is very happy with it so I am happy. I was so happy I used him to replace all the doors on our 2nd floor. I have another project for him next summer. I want him to replace all the doors on the first floor. No one else was an option. Celia Caleb

"Mr. S's skylight installation was a challenge; hard to get to, multiple angles, and the largest skylight shaft we have built to date. We are glad it came out well. Thanks!"

Yes, I recommend this pro
Have had a great experience with Art and his son Andrew they do quality work. My bathroom came out looking great. There were a few problems that already existed in my bathroom that were uncovered during this project Art made me aware and fixed them without a question. Art and Andrew have been back to do other projects on my house and I would recommend them to any of my friends and family. Thanks alot guys!
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"Meghan's project grew a bit as it went along, we found concealed electrical boxes and completely uninsulated walls which we were able to correct. The bath looks good and is fully functional now."

Doors (Interior) - Install or Replace
Yes, I recommend this pro

I own an older home with dated interior doors. I contacted Art looking to update all of the interior doors in my home to 6 panel doors, including converting closet doors into by-pass doors and a large bi-fold door set. Art came to my home to take measurements & helped educate me about what my options were. He also guided me on selection of materials. I also learned he also does work for a co-worker of mine-and he came recommended! Despite an unexpected closet complication, he came up with a solution that was both an improvement and better use of space. My border collie Kit enjoyed spending the day with Art! Planning more projects for Art now!
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"Katie and her family were a pleasure to work for! We especially liked getting acquainted with a character of a border collie who supervised the job from start to finish and made sure we got up and down the stairs ok."

Art patiently listened as I outlined the project and my expectations, then he suggested some enhancements. I feel the contract price was very fair, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. Very pleased, and would not hesitate to recommend Art Tomlinson & Son.
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"Jim's installation went very smoothly. we were able to correct some deficiencies with regard to air infiltration around both doors making for a much more weather-tight home as well as improving its appearance."

Art and his son Andrew were very professional ,clean , and willing to work with me, they are very friendly and knowledgeable of the trade. Had problems with wall cracking and they have been attentive in trying to fix the problem by the holidays.
Response from Art Tomlinson & Son Carpentry & Remodeling, LLC
"The previous homeowner had built in some problems that we corrected in the process of replacing the tub with a much more useful shower stall for this family. New closet and entry doors, tile, and nice fixtures rounded it out! The current homeowner painted the bathroom himself and we are not sure why the paint failed causing some of the joint compound to crack but we are pledged to help fix the problem."

We own a property in the West Henrietta area that our son lives in while attending RIT. Art has done a number of projects for us over the last 3 years including a full kitchen remodel and 2 bathroom remodels . Art has been most professional in helping to plan projects and excecute the work even though I am not there to check in on the progress. I know that I can trust Art to have the job done in a timely and cost effective manner, and it a been a godsend to us to know an excellent craftsman that has our best interests in mind. D.

We had several quotes on adding pumbing for a second 1/2 bath. We chose Art Tomlinson & Son because one of the other ones, although cheaper didn't seem experienced nor did what they propose seem like it would work. The other company that came in wanted to put the 1/2 bath somewhere else dispite what we wanted and they wanted twice as much. Art was honest and seemed very experienced so that is why we chose him even though his price was a little higher than the one quote. Saving money is important but a working toilet is even more important....lol. We highly recommend them. They worked around our schedule and all looks good! Thanks

"Small house, lots of kids, 1 bathroom- I'd be looking for help with that too! We were glad to do it in a way that accommodated their desires at an affordable price."
