Carpentry by Chris was professional, highly qualified, and thoroughly pleasant to work with. I'm always totally pleased with any work that I have done by them. I would recommend them to others.
In no way whatsoever did Chris, his staff, or his sub-contractors fail to meet even my highest expectations. I unequivocally recommend his company for both interior and exterior work.
C by C are excellent problem solvers and generally have inventive solutions to problems. They are very good at the planning stage, they listen to what the client wants, and often provide multiple options. Their top carpenters (Craig and Patrick) set a high standard, though not all their workers are top notch - but in the end quality control is pretty good. We trust them in our house, and really like the end result.
I'm really pleased with the end result and Chris and anybody that worked for him. I have never had such a positive experience working with a contractor before. They are extremely respectful of me and my property and they all liked my dog.
Everything turned out even better than I invisioned...they worked with me until I was happy with the final design. Chris and his staff were very courteous, clean and competent. I would definitley work with them again and would highly recommend their services.
Chris is practical! He told us when something was unnecessary and made suggestions for things to improve. He was able to note a messy area under sink and include that in the plan! He was well aware of Gordon's handicap and included that in the plan. We have already spread the word about Chris and his employees!
The work was done promptly, professionally, and the end product was excellent quality. Chris is the best contractor we've ever dealt with. He does great work and runs his business in a professional manner.
Everything. It was done on-time, on budget, and they were always responsive and easy to work with.
The crew is fantastic. They were helpful, courteous , and polite. Abbie was wonderful. I could go on and on. We were 110% satisfied.
I will have them back in the future for sure and recommend to anyone I know needing this type of service. Thank you -
Chris is quick to respond and address questions and issues that arise and eager to make the customer happy.
Will gladly use C by C again. Hopefully I never remodel a house again, but if I do, they would be my first choice of main contractor.Art Siviter
Chris and his crew really helped me to create a kitchen that exceeded my hopes and expectations. There are so many details that I really love! I can't wait to have Carpentry by Chris help me with another home improvement project. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family.
It was a wonderful experience.
I was impressed at how well the employees interacted with each other. They were willing to listen to our concerns and address them. They did a wonderful job.
Problems arise with any job. The important thing is to communicate and address concerns. I find that CC is very good about followingwith communicating throughout the project. JFrey
We are very pleased with the completed project. Chris did his best to keep on schedule and always informed us of any delays. The crew was great and always left the work area neat at the end of the day. We will recommend Chris to others.
We were really impressed with Chris's dedication to and organization throughout the planning process. Chris really took the time needed to explain our options, discuss budget constraints, and answer our questions.
Very professional and friendly. I always felt comfortable with everyone and felt comfortable asking question. I always received an appropriate answer. I'm happy. That explains it. Winona Lyons

We need your feedback in order to conduct a thorough review of Carpentry by Chris's application.
Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.
Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.
All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).
All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.
In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.
A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.
Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.
It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.
Prospective customers should weigh a multitude of factors when choosing the right building company, and never depend on a single source when making their decision to purchase a home or hire a contractor.
