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

"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."

"Bob's son Ron showed up within 24 hours of my initial call to do an estimate, which he provided very promptly. They procured all supplies, provided a certificate of insurance, painted the fence, and cleaned up the area. I have contracted them now to paint the dpi terror of the house.

"James from T-doe’s Top Notch Carpentry was polite and professional. He arrived on time and We had a discussion on the project to be done. He gave me an estimate which we agreed on, and then he returned and completed his work to my satisfaction. I would definitely hire him again."

"It worked out well. Everything was fine. The day they had originally planned to come I realized I had a doctor's appointment, so they rescheduled. They ran over the two hour time frame. I had to pay for two more hours because they had to re-tile and they did a little plastering of my ceiling. I had a leak and it buckled a little area of my ceiling, but they plastered that and they have to come back to repaint it. They had to take the vanity back out to get to the wall to put in the tile and they had to reattach the vanity. They say two hours, but they divide the time. One hour per person, so instead of 2 hours it is one hour per person. They say it is two labor hours because each person does an hour of work. They do good work. Some people might be thrown off when they say two hours and they work an hour between the two of them. It is okay as long as they are consistently working that time frame. They pretty much knew what they had to do. I explained to them what needed to be done and they went about getting it done. I had to buy the materials for them to provide the labor. I plan to use them to finish up the total job that needs to be done. The ceiling needs repainted. They tore out the vanity and put the new vanity in."

"This was not a run-of-the-mill job. The table is an antique farm table with 11 or so leaves of various sizes, non of which have the same measurement. I requested pads to be made for the sizes that I usually use, which is not your standard order. They contacted me several times to make sure that they were getting things right, pads fit great and are beautiful. Not only that, they came well within the time frame they had given me.

"Great service! All communication was timely and work was done exactly as arranged. There were no alterations in cost or time once we agreed.
