Otto's Carpentry

We hired Chad for what we thought was a small job: replacing the weatherstripping on three doors. He did that quickly, but the real story is what happened next. We showed him a couple of 80-year-old wooden air grates in our home, hoping he might have ideas for restoring them. Instead, he built new ones from scratch. The results are stunning. The craftsmanship is exceptional: clean, even slats, perfectly matched proportions, and a finish that looks right at home in an older house. He clearly takes pride in his work and has the skill to back it up. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for a handyman who's also a genuine craftsman.

Otto came right after we called. He was able to resolve two problems for us in a very short period of time. We had a storm door that needed anew sweep and closer as well as a leaky outdoor faucet.

He did a thorough job. He made sure everything was straight and squared.

Prompt response to my Angie posting. Timely visit, project analyzed, explained & price agreed on. Friendly & respectful conversation. Project completed in a timely manner. Highly recommend a trustworthy & dedicated professional.

Chad was super quick to communicate and provide an estimate via phone. On site he was professional and honest, giving me door and frame repair options. Work was done quickly and I'd definitely work with Chad again in the future.

We never received a written estimate as we we were told he could not give one until he broadened the scope of the project to tear off siding if there was further damage. After given a range covering the scope of the project we were requesting to an amount that would cover a much more involved project we said we wanted to stick with the original scope - which should have come in at the lower amount range. At the end of the project we were billed for the higher amount which was a $2550.00 difference. The work that was done, matching our original request was satisfactory and well done. Our complaint was with the billing and the frequent moving of goalposts.

Prompt attention to my request. He was able to eliminate the problem I called about. While I didn't need any parts to repair my doors he was able to make the necessary adjustments and his fee was fair. I would use him again should the need arise.

Excellent service and masterful craftsmanship he gave me more than my moneys worth and completed all the work in a timely manner. He arrived on time and began work right away and was eagle eyed if finding and fixing issues to keep the project on track. I recommend him highly for all works you will be in good hands.

Found carpenter to be very skilled and professional in both his work and attitude.

While the work that was finally performed was good, Otto is not dependable. Said it would be done in August of 2024, then September, then October, then November, then first thing in the spring and finally, today, almost 10 months later, was finished. Not trustworthy and not dependable. Very disappointed in him.

Got a call right away and he came out the next day to install our door. Door was installed really well. Would highly recommend to others.

He had a new door on hand and was able to my job immediately. He was a good communicator and was very easy to deal with. I would definitely hire him again.

We haven't used him yet, but he responded and came out same day! That is customer service. The prices are high but good quality work costs money and carpentry work and lumber are expensive. We decided to go ahead based on his knowledge, work ethic, customer service and reviews. He is personable and has 30 yrs experience - his dad was Otto and he walks in his dad's footsteps - I'm sure his dad is proud of him. He gave us options also and sounded honest and sincere in everything he said and we look forward to working with him soon.

I needed a door jam repaired and Chad's work was above and beyond my expectations. He also replaced an old screen door which was a pleasant surprise. I am so pleased with his expertise and workmanship. The damaged area to the door was extensive but the repair is exquisitely beautiful. I would recommend him to everyone , they will not be disappointed.

Chad was more thorough with the whole process of what needed to be done about replacing our wind damaged rear exit door after high winds took it open and pulled off the hinges. He gave us more options than the other companies did. His work was professional, and the cost was very reasonable.

Fast, friendly and affordable!

Chad came to our house in one day. Called us at noon. Finished the job before 4:30. He was quite informative about our doors. I would highly recommend him.

Very fast to respond and do work

I had a broken sliding patio door that I was struggling with trying to open & close! I am 62 yrs old, disabled & recently my position w/the Company I worked for after 11 years, eliminated the Department I worked in. I kept putting off this repair due to finances. Also, afraid that the door may be in such bad shape I would need a new one, which I really couldn't afford! Otto's Carpentry to the rescue! The door got so bad that I really could hardly open/close it so I needed to get it fixed! I went on Angie's & Chad immediately called me. I didn't even have to wait, he was here bright & early next day! If it was an emergency, he would even have come out that night,(and it was later p.m. already), if he had to! Being an older door, he set the expectation that it may not even be able to be fixed! Well, he worked his "magic" & the door is good as new! He even put a new handle on as the old was 1/2 broke right off & missing the lock! He made it so the blinds on the inside of the glass worked again AND he fixed a piece of the wood trim that was falling off(without me even asking)! I hadn't asked him to do that as I knew that would raise the price & I didn't have any extra $'s. Let me tell you...he is fair & affordable! He is a "old school" hard worker, works long hours & even weekends! He is knowledgeable & will do the job right...no short cuts here! I think he knows how to do just about anything & he will let you know if the repair is worth it, good or bad & the issues that could possibly arise! He is honest, real, down to earth & no BS! You can't find a harder, more dedicated or experienced worker! A+++ rating for Chad, I would trust him w/ any job I need done AND would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks Chad, will call you back when I can afford my next project!

My garage door was broken into (the side, man door). You don't have to call Chad. You rub a lamp and he appears. New door installed - same day. And he noticed and repaired another issue on the main garage door's frame. Highly recommended.

I appreciate that Otto's Carpentry responds quickly and gives a fair price for their service.
