Get matched with top carpentry framing repairers in Washington, DC

"I originally hired JW last year to install a new subfloor in one of my bathrooms. The crew was punctual and very professional. Once they began demo for the floor, they noticed significant rot under the tub and were able to add that repair to the scope of work for a reasonable price. I was very satisfied with the quality of their work. On the strength of the bathroom work, I hired them again early this year to do some framing and install sheetrock in my basement. As before, the crew was great -- very professional, kept me informed on what they were doing, and delivered very high quality work. Couldn't be happier. On a more general note, it turned out that I had the opportunity to speak with the owner (Jesse) a little bit after the work was complete. I was impressed by his professionalism, accessibility, and commitment to JW's customers -- values that seem to be consistent throughout the organization. Would recommend and use again."

"Marcos Pena (owner of MP Home Repair) and his crew were great! I talked with four contractors before hiring Marcos. He was the only one of the four who wasn't worried about having to soundproof walls. And he knew from the beginning what needed to be done to get the effect I was looking for. They soundproofed two walls in one room -- a wall that faces the street and is subject to a lot of trash truck noise plus a wall that is shared between my townhouse and a neighbor's. MP Home Repair framed out both walls and put up two layers of insulation. One of the walls had ten feet worth of windows, which meant the crew had to re-do the window frame in the process of framing the wall. The window reframing MP Home Repair did was much better looking than the framing that had been done when the windows were installed a few years ago. Plus, Marcos and his crew were super-meticulous about ensuring any gaps around the window were filled in. With the framing done, they put up wallboard and joint compound on the new walls and painted them. I was really impressed with the appearance of the walls and the sound reduction effect. The result is more than a 50% reduction in the noise from the street. The noises from the adjacent townhouse can no longer be heard. I highly recommend MP Home Repair's soundproofing work!"

"We hired Sino American to deal with the aftermath of a plumbing disaster in our hundred year old row house in downtown DC – the original cast-iron pipes below our bathrooms and over our central hallway had sprung a leak and could not be repaired. The replacement of the pipes would likely require tearing out the flooring of the bathrooms, so while we were at it, it made sense to renovate them. Sino American’s was neither the lowest nor the highest bid, but we hired the company because its proprietor, Mason Callejas, was both candid and creative in suggesting ways we could improve the bathrooms in the course of renovating them, and because the reviews here and elsewhere praised his communication throughout the project. For example, he was willing to bid the job with an alternate price that would involve repairing the pipes only from below, without ripping out the bathroom floors (we ended up not going that route). He also suggested something that had not occurred to us – making an insurance claim about the leaking pipes (this ended up providing a modest payment toward the cost of the demolition to get at the pipes). And, his bid seemed to involve the smallest amount of time when we could have to be out of the house while both bathrooms would be out of order It was a good choice. We had to be out of the house for at least three weeks, so we scheduled the work for a time when we were going to be abroad. That complicated the communications, but Mason did a great job of sending photos and talking to my brother and a friend who were willing to be our standins while we were away. (and the friend is a retired contractor who was very impressed both by Mason and by the work that his staff were doing). He had good ideas for improving the bathroom flooring (thus lessening some of the problems with the house’s construction that contributed to the problems with the pipe) We ended up with two very nice bathrooms; and along the way we added new kitchen stone counters and repainting of some our other downstairs rooms. The construction took a bit longer than estimated (you have to expect the unexpected in construction jobs), but the time we could not use the bathrooms was still less than any of the other bids had suggested would be needed. The price crept up over time given the add-ons needed to address issues arising during the project), but remained lower than the highest of the bids were received. And SinoAmerican was very good at the last-minute fixes needed at the punch-list stage of the process My wife and I have hired a number of contractors for jobs big and small over the past 35 years to deal with our own home as well as an investment property in DC, and among them, Sino-American ranks with the very best. I would recommend Sino-American to other homeowners without reservation. I rarely give five stars in my reviews but here it is fully deserved"

"I have a townhouse rental that is between tenants and needed a fair amount of sprucing up.  I called Abel and asked for a quote for exterior painting and framing and hanging an exterior back door.  He sent me a quote within a day or so.  It was not the lowest bid, but it certainly was a very fair one and my experience is the lowest bid is often the one to avoid.  Also, based on my conversation with Abel, and his reviews, I had more confidence in him.  
We agreed to meet at the townhouse at 8:30am and when I arrived he and his crew were already there.  We spoke for a few minutes about the job and then they got right to work.  Abel and  I had already agreed that some of the wood had been sufficiently damaged that it should be replaced with pvc material.  However, the previous evening I had discovered another piece around a basement window that was even worse and asked if he could replace that as well, which he did despite the short notice.  When the painting was done he showed me the paint he used and left me the remainder of one can, including the label on paint type, so that I could do any touch ups if needed or buy more.  He only asked an additional $50 for replacing the additional window framing. 
The door was a little more problematic.  It was the same width as the existing frame, but slightly higher so his carpenter had to adjust the header and was able to do so while still making the molding around the door frame sufficiently long.  He also installed the locks from the old door.  I have done some of my own carpentry work in the past so I am somewhat familiar with this type of work and I was very happy with Abel's carpenter. 
All in all, I was very pleased and would definitely used Green Painting and Carpentry again.

"All work done professionally and in a timely manner. Project started with a thorough powerwashing of existing deck, rails, supports. Badly warped and/or splintered decking and rail top replaced with new, pressure-treated lumber. Old wood power-sanded then hand- painted with clear stain finish. Attention to detail was excellent; perfection is the standard of this company."

"Handyman at your Command did a great job getting our townhouse ready to go on the market. The staff was professional and courteous. The prices were reasonable and they completely our work within a short frame. They updated our bathrooms, painted our kitchen cabinets and carpeted all the bedrooms. The house looked amazing and we received five offers over asking our price."

"Excellent Work and Professional Owner and Crew! The existing roof soffits and facia on my parents old house were rotted and falling apart. I contacted several different companies and when I contacted the Mark Meredith LLC company, the owner himself, Mark Meredith, agreed to meeting with me personally in the evening to review the proposed work that needed to be done to repair the roof soffits and facia. Mark took the time to walk around the entire house, and he pointed out the work that he recommended needed to be done immediately and the work that could be deferred for some time. Talking with Mark, I found him to be very knowledgeable and friendly. Mark ultimately recommended that roof soffits and facia on the entire front of the house and the front of the garage be replaced with brand new PVC to replace the existing Particle Board roof soffits and facia. Whereas the other companies were only recommending repairing the damaged areas. I agree with Mark that all of the roof soffits and facia most likely should be replaced, and we agreed on a mutually acceptable price. My wife oversaw the work done by the Mark Meredith crew, and she was very impressed with the professionalism of the crew and was pleased with their politeness. Additionally, my wife reported back to me that Mark was correct in his assumption that all of the existing roof soffits and facia was rotten and needed to be replaced, as she watched the old existing roof soffits and facia "come off in rotten chunks". When all of the work was completed, once again Mark Meredith himself, met with me and my wife to review the completed work and explain the work that had been done. As I stared previously, my wife and I are very impressed with the professionalism of the Mark Meredith LLC company and we are very pleased with the work that the company did!"
