Testimonials
Doug is a terrific Carpenter/Handyman. He did a bunch of work for us, including repairing and painting a large wood patio cover; patching & painting; electrical; repairing leaky gutters. Some of this work was in the house, some outside. We had quite a list that built up during the pandemic. He's a master and did it all to our complete satisfaction. Highest recommendation.
Doug just finished a new upstairs deck and a downstairs outdoor patio deck. See photo. We couldn't be happier. Doug always goes the extra step to make the work great.
