G&B Carpentry

I hired G and B Carpentry to build a detached garage with an apartment above. I paid them everything per our agreement plus an approved Change Order. The agreement was executed on February 18, 2021 with an estimated completion date of 4-5 months. They missed three completion dates, told multiple lies as to the reason why, one of their subcontractors caused over $2,900.00 worth of damage to my existing home. In December, they wanted me to pay over $29K in what they classified as Overages occurred while working on my project without once having a discussion with me, presenting me with any Change Orders or invoices. This is after I have paid them everything per our contract!!! They filed bankruptcy around January 3, 2022. They indicated that it would not affect my project but they have not been back to finish it in over 2 months!!! I found out that they used another construction company to obtain my Building Permit and neither company informed me that I was not approved to have an apartment on top of the garage!!!! They have ABANDONED my project and left me to figure everything out! He stated on March 2, 2022 Hello Greg, As I mentioned before I am broke and pretty much out of business. If there is anything I can do to help you wrap up your project that does not require funds I am there to assist. Sorry for the inconvenience EVERYTHING that needs completed REQUIRES MONEY!!! Money that I already gave him!!!! If you are an existing customer, cut your losses and hire an attorney!!!

G and B Carpentry took $15,000 deposit and never did any work, they asked for more money. three weeks after the contract was signed they filed for bankruptcy, they claim to have spent the money on materials but will not show me any invoices or give me the materials and now they no longer respond to any communication.

Excellent work!! Did above and beyond what was expected. Cleaned up after themselves. Owner took personal interest in my project, I would highly recommend them for your project.

Beautiful clean work. The team is very professional and efficient! High recommend!

It was a little lengthy but the job is complete and they are very friendly people.

G&B did an excellent job of installation, finish and cleanup. They even spread out the dirt that was removed around our maple tree to cover the root system that had come above ground. They went above and beyond what was contracted for. They put grass seed and straw down over the fresh dirt.These folks alway go above and beyond. They have done several other jobs for us and they are our first call when we have new projects come up.

Plans were drafted by us and quote was given on the draft. Additional cost added to bill when project was in final completion that was not on the original plans. We paid the additional cost.

They do excellent work. On time, great clean up and built exactly as we asked. Could not ask for better service!

G&B Carpentry is the best! I use them for all my improvements, remodels, and repairs. They are prompt and professional, yet extremely friendly and caring. They communicate their progress throughout each project and seek your input. Their work is exceptional and exceeds my expectations everytime. They have finished a basement, made various repairs, and installed a new driveway for me. I highly recommend them!

Left our home a collapse hazard!!! Beware!!! Save yourself the hassle and keep looking for another contractor! Told us 3-4 wks for a project that they never completed. I filed a complaint with the TN State Contractors Board and they placed a lien on my home the day they got word of my complaint. The work they did was poor and they refused to correct issues and dismissed our complaints. They used an unlicensed plumber and we ended up with sewage in our crawlspace for 4 weeks before they even fixed the pipe that came loose!!!!!! They made promises they never kept and charged us more for things we had already paid for after we removed add-on items that were never completed. They would not be transparent and show us receipts on said additional charges. They do not handle their business well. RUN!! Like another review said, we will have to have most of our project redone. Do not waste your $$$! **I did not buy my home online. This is just another excuse this company is using to avoid taking accountability for their mistakes (as well as saying I canceled by email, did not pay my progression draws, etc.). I do not have misguided frustration-It all belongs to you. I did not pay my final payment because you never finished the job and I am having to re-do your work. Despite what you think you do not have lien rights on this project. TCA 62-6-103 A contractor exceeding their limit ($25,000) does not have the right to file a lien. That **beautiful** bathroom has a toilet that will not flush because it is not vented properly. You left our secondary bathroom without a working shower. There are several other MAJOR issues that we are having to pay to have corrected because of your neglect.

Work was done in a timely manner. Great customer service. We love the newly remodeled garage turned apartment for our teenage sons. Great job!

I built a new garage with G&B that started in October 2019 and ended in May 2020. They told me it would take 90 days, instead, it took them 7 months. I would not build with them again, poor quality, poor communication. I was constantly, checking and correcting the work of the subs. G&B was rarely on the job site.

They did a great job! Very professional. Price was higher than other estimates I received, but high quality was worth the higher price. I would definitely recommend and hire again. They were outstanding!

Read your quote carefully, I thought they were doing two walls the stair wall and the bottom wall for 1400.00 to prep it for me to tile it, they did one wall and then wanted another 780.00 to do the all over the stairs with them. It was not in to quote because he misunderstood what my wife had told him... I would not have paid 1400 for one wall and I sure was not going to pay 2100 plus for the two walls, If they had not done such a good job with the stair I would not have rated them this high... the stairs they only had to come back out one to complete the work. I waited for a while before posting this thinking after I voiced my concerns that I would get another call from them, but they did not. I will not be calling them again for any other work in my house...

Office Staff was very efficient. Got info from project managers when they were in the field. Workman employed by C & B were first rate.

the crews did a fabulous job installing our new deck, installing siding on our tool shed, installing interior trim, installing new custom post on our porch. excellent job of clean up and haul away

I recently contracted with G&B Carpentry to perform work on my deck. Although they haven't began work at this time, I've rated them 4 stars because of the professionalism the entire team has shown toward me. The communication i received - from scheduling the initial appointment to scheduling a follow up appointment was superior. Lamar's professional attitude and communication regarding what needed to be done to providing a Scope of Work was truly impressive. Even after asking for a follow up appointment to go over the Scope of Work to incorporating changes was done with a professional and positive attitude. I've rated the quality of work as at 3 stars for the moment as no work has begun at this time. I will update my review as the project progresses over the next 3 to 5 weeks.

Super job, professional attitude, easy to communicate with and they include you in all decision making. Great job cleaning up and hauling away. Would highly recommend.

Excellent workmanship, and customer service

Professional and courteous. Performed as expected. Took a little longer than expected but well within reason. Would utilize again.

They were prompt and made sure I liked the repair before finishing. Cleaned up well.

They are very professional and courteous and they do great work.

The best contractor service that I ever had it was great.

Designed and remodeled bonus room above the garage, Replaced family room carpeting with hardwood flooring, Replaced fibreboard siding with hardy board. Power washed and painted house. G&B guarantees their work for 5 years.
