"I was in need of a carpenter for a back porch. The concrete/brick contractor that I used (James at Anyway Concrete) suggested Jeremy.
I contacted Jeremy and he came to my house to inspect the porch and discuss my wants and needs in just a couple of days. During the inspection he told me my porch wasn't in code because it lacked a landing, the railings were spaced too far apart, and the steps weren't wide enough. (Who knew?!) He also took time to answer all my questions about treated, cedar and synthetic lumber.
He took measurements, then emailed me options for doing the work using treated lumber, cedar and synthetic which I had requested.. I went with cedar as we were getting new cedar fencing and I love the beauty and smell of cedar.
Jeremy and his partner did a beautiful job! I now have a lovely back entrance porch that is in code, a pleasure to sit or stand on and is very secure and strong. I didn't realize how unsafe our old porch was until I experienced this one. I was hesitant about the landing, but I can tell you that after just one use, I now wonder how I managed all this time without it! It's a pleasure to be able to put bags on the landing and have my hands free to open the storm door and unlock the back door instead of trying to hold everything in one hand , while balancing on an 8" step hoping not to drop my keys or bags when the I swing open the storm door.
I also enjoy standing on the landing in the morning and admiring the view of my new backyard. I kind feel like Leonardo DiCaprio (I'm king of the world!) when I stand and look out at my backyard domain er 125'x30' city lot... :)
Jeremy and his partner were fast (they built the porch and gate in one day!), professional, courteous and respectful of my property. When they were done, they did a great job of clean up. They also gathered up all the left over cedar lattice and wood and gave to me to so I could burn in our soon to be purchased metal fire pit. I also appreciated how they showed me the receipts for all the materials purchased. When I commented that the railing was a little wide for my hands, they purchased and installed a solid oak railing with metal brackets at no additional charge.
As the pictures show, Jeremy is a true craftsman."
