    Rebuilding front porch stairs & railings

    Cole is an exemplary carpenter. He is friendly, polite, prompt, very tidy, and communicates clearly .He replaced my front porch stairs, railings and support post. He hand picked the cedar boards , he pays close attention to detail. He even re cemented the old bottom cement Step which had deteriorated.I will definitely call Cole again .

    Custom built fence

    I can highly recommend Cole. .Check out his website Friendly Carpenter. Cole is for sure friendly and interesting to talk with about his photography and travels but he is also an excellent craftsman. He took down an old existing rotten fence and replaced it with a beautiful custom build cedar fence, taking great care with my existing plants. He was fast and neat and built exactly what we were wanting. Thank you! Margo

    Replacement of a rotting leaning fence

    Cole took down the old leaning rotting fence and disposed of it. He then constructed a new fence with a new gate. He did an outstanding professional job even in the pouring rain and coping with unusually solid fence post foundations which required extra jackhammering! The fence looks great and I'm sure it will stand the test of time. Very pleased with his work and would recommend him to anyone else looking to replace or repair a fence.

    Amazing fence, arbor, outdoor transformation!

    I cant say enough amazing things about Cole. We hired him to rebuild a property fence, which turned into fencing in our whole yard, building an arbor, and building a gate on the west side of our property as well. Cole was fast, neat, respectful, quiet, and his craftsmanship top notch. His work completely transformed our home and our lives. I really cant say enough great things about Cole. His work will give us many years of enjoyment and it was a pleasure having him here doing all of our projects. Cole will always be our go to! Thank you sir!!

    Fence, gate and stairs replacement

    Our old fence finally decided to blow down, so it was time to get a replacement. We replaced our fence, attached gate and small stairs. Everything was done in a fast and the worker was very professional. We would definitely recommend Cole to our friends and any future work.

    A great craftsman - and very friendly

    I came back to Cole after 10 years - and he remembered me! He is such a friendly person and an excellent craftsman. He did exactly as promised, on time and the result is perfect. It's always nice to know that the person you meet for an estimate is the person who will do the work. Cole cares a lot about his clients and the quality of his work. Absolutely recommend.

    Highly Recommended!

    Cole came highly recommended by a friend and he didn’t disappoint! Cole built about 85’ of new fence for us to match the custom fence on the other side of our property. He respected our yard and more importantly our neighbour’s flower beds that sit adjacent to the property line. The quality of his work was top notch! Thank you Cole SK
