Get matched with top carpentry framing installers in Akers, LA

"SUMMARY: SES did high quality work. They stuck to the projected cost. They finished within the estimated timeframe (or at least close enough). PRELIMINARY STAGES: SES promptly returned our initial call and set up a visit by their estimator. Within a very reasonable timeframe (maybe a little more than a week), we had the estimate in hand. In contrast, we were shocked to see how difficult it was to deal with some other contractors--even in the early stage, when we were trying to give them business. DETAILS OF THE JOB: They gutted ~50% of a ~180 sq ft bathroom to the studs; did some framing/re-framing; removed a large tub and patched in some hardwood; completely re-did the mortar bed/tile/plumbing for the shower; re-routed an HVAC intake to a different part of the house; moved/added some plumbing and electrical; installed a new commode and tile floor in a new toilet closet; hung crown molding; installed a double vanity with a stone top; hung a large mirror and frameless shower door; built out 2 closets. QUALITY. Their renovation was high quality and fit perfectly into our 1930’s arts-and-crafts home. They found, sanded, and painted an old 5 panel door to match the doors in rest of the house. The salvaged/refinished pine floor fits into the existing pine floor seamlessly, and the new trim work matches that in the rest of the house. Their tile guy did an outstanding job on the shower—floor to ceiling with a bullnose and a niche. The subs they used for the vanity/stone top and for the mirror/shower door did a high quality job. We designed our closets and the trim carpenter built them out perfectly (soft-close drawers and all). COMMUNICATION. This was a big asset to the SES experience. Ashley kept us posted with an email almost every day. We knew what to expect when we got home from work, as well as what to look for the next day and the rest of the week. In the rare event that there were surprises or delays, Ashley would let us know right away as well as what the resolution would be. While Ashley was the main line of communication, the owner, Shawn, was very accessible as well when necessary. PROFESSIONALISM. All the people we interacted with were professional and punctual. The workers were respectful of us and our home, and they did a great job cleaning up every day. With very few exceptions, people were at the house every weekday (and even some weekend days), from the start to the finish of the project. THE UNEXPECTED. As the work proceeded, some minor structural damage from the old shower had to be addressed and the hot water heater needed some repairs. These were taken care off in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Otherwise, there were a few miscommunications regarding the electrical rough ins, a plumbing valve, the closet build outs, and the shower door. All these were very minor and easily addressed. Along the way—and especially as things neared the end—Shawn made sure we had everything exactly the way we wanted it. This was our first time hiring a contractor. Before our renovation, we had heard many contractor-related horror stories. Our experience with SES was drastically different. We are already scheduling another project with them."

"Great work, love my new deck!"

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"We contacted Bob on recommendation from another neighbor. He came over and we went through the work we wanted performed. He came back with an estimate quickly and time frame for the work, both which we were very pleased with. We did have to call him back a couple of times to set the date but once we spoke with him we scheduled the work accordingly and we emailed him our paint color choices. He showed up on the first day to power wash the exterior of the house to remove any loose paint and green mold on the house. The crewman took a closer look at the shutters and said they may not be able to be repaired properly. He and his crew showed up the following days and Bob explained on each of those days what he was going to have them do (exterior first then interior) and directed his crew accordingly. Bob also determined that one of the shutters had too much damage to be repairable and recommended replacement of all of them at our discretion. He did remove the original cost of the shutter repairs from the estimate. All work was completed quicker than we expected and they did exactly what they said in the estimate. We are very, very pleased with the excellent work that his company did. The repair for the garage ceiling was done so well that I couldn't tell there was any damage in the first place! His crew was neat, professional, courteous and they cleaned up everything when done. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone and we will definitely use him for further work.

"The pads came out beautifully and fit perfectly. My table is an unusual size and goes from round to oval when expanded. The pads look great and if I wanted I could even leave them on all the time. They fit together easily and they're easy to put on and remove"

"Knows his craft very well, and has very competitive prices. Will remain on my construction team for a long time!!"

"Jamie made a beautiful wooden flag for me as a going away gift from the team I used to work with. Craftsmanship was perfection. It hangs over my mantle in my house. My wife put it there so that should say a great deal about his workmanship. Jamie is the kind of guy that will give you his absolute best and then some. He is the first guy I call when I have any carpentry needs."

From demo to appliance installation the project was professionally done.

David took a 50+ year old kitchen at one of my churches and brought it into the 21st century.  No walls were square / plumb but not to worry, he did a great job.

What did he do - everything.  Demo, filling in of bead-board walls, new gyp. board ceiling, sanded /refinished wood floors, painting, plumbing, electrical, cabinet installation, appliance installation, and hauling off of all debris.

With so much experience, he needed absolutely no supervision. 

And two other points:1) the project was completed on time and  2) everything was left clean

"We got 3 bids for this job and Ken was by far the cheapest. He is extremely thorough and does extra things if he sees something along the way that needs attention. He does work slowly and takes quite a few breaks! However if you don't mind if the project takes a little longer, you'd be hard pressed to find a better all around handyman!

"We were very pleased with the results of this project beginning with the presentation at the time of the "free estimate" and would highly recommend this company. My calls were always returned within an hour and the representative was consistently cooperative, personable, and followed through on "making us happy"! One person completed this job and was awesome! He was considerate and very professional while working both inside and outside of our home . He noticed a couple of issues with the windows before installing them and replacements were ordered so that everything was done properly. We were really glad that he was so observant and detail oriented. The painter who painted the back door did an excellent job as well! He was very thorough and the door looks fantastic.
  There were a couple of minor issues that arose after this job was done, but when I called to discuss these, the representative had them taken care of the next day. 
  The windows have made a huge difference already in both the comfort and external noise levels as compared to the old windows. As I stated beforehand, we are VERY HAPPY with this company and would recommend their services to anyone interested in replacing windows.
