Henry's Custom Carpentry & Handiwork, LLC

My Dad taught me how to ask good questions when making a purchase including in areas dominated by men, like in car sales and contracting. He helped me to decide if I, as a woman, was being taken seriously even accompanying me to make purchases. Without my Dad around I often follow what he taught me when making a purchase/hire in these areas, remembering what I have learned is fair treatment of me as a female customer. When he came to our home to give an estimate I was thankful to find Henry was very respectful and clear. Besides the careful job he did with the estimate he was careful with communication. He answered all my many questions. I never felt foolish for asking so many questions about the house and what would need to be fixed, even though I do not know much in this field. I felt comfortable with the idea of he and his employees completing work in our home.

Henry built and installed built-in, floor to ceiling bookcases in our home. He is bar none the most meticulous carpenter/contractor we have ever hired. I can be very particular about things, and there were multiple occasions when I'd come in the room and see that he was working to correct the issue before I even mentioned it to him. The fit, finish, and quality of his work was very good--not to mention he also made it look exactly like what we wanted. He really went the extra mile to make sure the finished product was just right. On top of that, my wife said he cleans up after himself better than anyone we've ever hired. :-) There was no extra cleaning required after he left for the day or completed the job. Will definitely use him again in the future.

I called a dozen framing companies to fix a fireplace opening that a previous contractor had messed up and none of them took on the challenge. Henry agreed to fix the framing and stone around the opening and was professional through the process. His guys left the deck a little messy and he happened to be there to clean it up and oversee the project. He made sure the framing measurements were accurate so that the fireplace fit. Henry was also responsive, positive, and upbeat throughout the process. He has a professional work ethic. Thank you Henry!

We had a new refrigerator that while it went into the hole in the cabinet facing, it didn’t quite fit. It was touching the cabinet on the sides casing a vibration. This was such a small job I didn’t think I would find anyone to do it. I feared if I did it myself I would end up with a crooked, ugly looking cut. Because the job was small Henry’s did not do an estimate, they charged by the hour. I sent him some pictures and he sent Boone who made a straight, clean cut and cleaned up after himself. We were very pleased.

Henry communicated with us well, meticulously going through details we never would have thought of. He adjusted and worked patiently with us as we changed our minds to come up with repair vs rebuild options on our pergola and deck. He assured me on the phone when we first talked that it would end up beautiful and it did. I liked that he could estimate via text and email. I also respected that he personally identified and perfected areas that his crew didn’t do to his standard. Work was also done in a timely manner.
