I had Brian walk through my condo with me to discuss the woodwork I wanted to be fixed. Brian was quick to give me suggestions and answer any of my questions. I had three doors replaced and the quarter round around my kitchen. I could not be happier with the final result. All the work was done timely and professionally. I would not hesitate to work with Brian again in the future.

We have found Brian to be pleasant, dedicated and personable with an extensive knowledge in construction. He welcomed our ideas and input regarding replacing our wood balusters on our stairway and replacing them with wrought iron. He took the time to listen to our ideas and make our vision a reality. We would highly recommend Build It Right Carpentry to anyone seeking help with their home renovation projects. Brian was professional, detail oriented and extremely helpful with suggestions on how to bring my design idea to fruition. The quality of workmanship was excellent. Since the project was

We feel very fortunate to have had Brian and Build It Right help with our kitchen work. The work involved aligning the cabinet doors and adding upper and lower trim to the cabinets. We couldn't be happier - it looks beautiful! We received a good quote for the work, Brian completed the work quickly and with no surprises. He was able to think outside the box and solve a problem with installing our lower trim. We would recommend Build It Right and Brian to our friends.

We hired Build It Right Carpentry for our basement remodel. Brian designed and installed cabinets, an interior door, and completed all finishing carpentry. Being an older home retrofitting was required too accommodate uneven floors, short ceiling, and access to utilities through cabinets. Everything looks great and his skill and attention to detail is obvious. Great communication throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again or recommend.
