Get matched with top carpentry framing installers in Gretna, 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."

"I have rental property in New Orleans and hired Mike with RH & MS, LLC. They redid the entire house with Hardi siding, installed a new front door and framed all windows, painted, installed new lighting as well. RH & MS ( Mr Mike) conducts their business like it is a business. He does what he says he will do and what our contract says. He kept us updated on the progress at all times. We checked out all his credentials before we hired him as well. We have had them to do two jobs for us and we are pleased with the work they did. Mike is very personable and we will continue to use his services. His crew is also very knowledgeable and very nice to work with."

"They did an amazing job building my fence. The father and son team were professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. They showed up on time, communicated clearly throughout the whole process, and made sure everything was built strong and looked great. You can really tell they take pride in their work. The fence came out exactly how I wanted. Sturdy, clean, and high quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and skilled craftsmanship."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"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.

"James did a great job installing two prefab pantry cabinets and making them look built in. He was reasonably priced as well. I would hire him again."

"TJM did a great job handing shades in my house.  My house was built in 1923 and the window frames are not level/even.  Despite this challenge, TMJ knocked out this job quickly and efficiently.  I will use them again."

"They were efficient in terms of the process. They sent the pad in a reasonable time frame. I did have to call a couple times. It took about a month to deliver. They sent the material which was packed nicely. There were 2 issues: 1-the glue or adhesive they used smelled badly. I had to put in my garage for a couple weeks until that 2-every corner was protruded, the table pad corners were too sharp on the mat .which poses risks with small children. I called about that and they said to put some tape over it. The manager called back to discuss the issue was. She suggested that I try to fix. it. The company might have done something to repair if I had followed up."

"Put Jeff and Daryl on speed dial. These two handymen should be the first people you call for any home repair you need. These guys literally does it all- from electrical, drywall, lighting, fencing, attic way install, hurricane shutters and more. They are reasonably price and will work within your budget. You will not be disappointed."
