Carpentry Framing Repair
Yes, I recommend this pro
Dave was able to accommodate our very tight schedule with the other contractors with very short notice. His carpentry work was excellent and his price was very fair. He left the job site cleaner then when he started. I would definitely use his services again and would highly recommend to others.

Our experience with The Works Home Improvement Company was professional and personable. Dave was very organized, prompt, and meticulous. He always kept a line of communication open and always kept us informed and gave us his professional opinion with the task that was at hand. We would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking to do any home improvements. His attention to detail left our basement looking absolutely amazing. We are looking forward to using him and his services in the future.

It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Kraus. He showed up on time and worked all day everyday until the job was completed. He asked questions to clarify exactly what I wanted and offered suggestions that I had not thought of. His work was impeccable. I am so pleased with the job he did. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a first class contractor.

I can't say enough good things about Dave and his crew. I've already recommended him to many people. If you're looking for a contractor that is honest, neat and does beautiful work, Dave and The Works Home Improvement Company is for you. I felt I got my money's worth and was very comfortable with everything Dave suggested and did throughout the entire process. He always showed up at the time he promised and got the job done right on time. I'm already planning my next project that I want Dave and his crew to work on for me.
Response from The Works Home Improvement Company, Inc.
"Contracting is like a "box of chocolates". You never know what you're going to get when you open up walls and ceilings. In this case, the main header holding up two large ceilings between the kitchen and living room, was completely decimated by termite infestation. There were gas lines drilled and installed through the header, making it impractical to remove the header, causing thousands in repairs, over and above the initial project of installing new Sheetrock ceilings and building a pantry. We were able to add new heavy duty header materials along side the original, replace warped ceiling joists,and move forward.very rewarding. Love my job!"

We had old siding, windows, main front door and rear patio door replaced. They did a neat and methodical job in removing the old and installing the new. Dave Kraus was always there. I chose a siding that was different in that it had matching corners, it came out great. The other important point I want to make is that if there is even a minor problem Dave comes back and fixes it. They stand behind their work.

"I used my 28 years of siding experience to transform this home from outdated to a stately show piece in this beautiful waterfront community. The homeowners were delightful to work with."

He is very professional in his work. He is a high quality worker.
Response from The Works Home Improvement Company, Inc.
"The project started as a box colonial home. By adding a wrap around porch, modifying the roof line by creating reverse gables, and then later siding the entire home, it is now a beautiful updated Victorian. Spectacular!!"
