Andy did a great job installing crown moulding on the first floor of our new home. The job was done ahead of schedule and costed less than the original quote! We were very happy with his workmanship and would use Andy for future projects.

The general carpentry was completed fairly well. The issue came with the floor leveling and tile installation. When Andy poured a layer of leveling liquid he must have had it a little too thick because he had to trowel it around and when it dried it was not level. So he poured a second layer of leveling liquid on top. this layer came out flat a least. He then laid the tile. There is a ridge running right down the middle of the bathroom ... I.E. if I hold a 2 ft straight edge across the tile one end is 1/2 inch higher than the other. Having a 1/2 inch variance in a distance of 1 1/2 ft is not acceptable. The other resulting issue from laying 2 layers of leveling liquid was that the bathroom floor ended up 1 1/2 inches higher than the bedroom floor. I ended up hiring other contractors to redo the edge on the tile and ramp the bedroom carpet up to hide the 1 1/2 inch step up into the bathroom. Andy is a nice guy but due to numerous issues I could not wait for him to get done. If you hire Andy to do work for you, I would recommend that you avoid having him do any tile work.

Andy was prompt and dependable.  He helped us fill in the gaps from our initial sketch to the final project.  The end result was on budget (actually below our not to exceed number), on time and quality work.  Very happy with his service and will definitely hire him again in the future. <br />

I have been using Andy Nelson for many years, for all of my home repairs and remodeling. He is a first rate master carpenter and a perfectionist when it comes to construction. He is really easy to work with and is fairly priced. We have recommended him to multiple friends and family members and they have equally had good experiences as well. <br /> My mother in law has used Andy Nelson on some major renovations on her home in Oakbrook and she is a tough customer to please, but Andy had exceeded her expectations.

Project went well.  We had worked with Andy on several smaller carpentry jobs in our previous homes.  Andy is talented, conscientious, honest and fast!
