The Carpenter's Son Construction, Inc.

"If I could give 0 starts I would. I am sure the 14 good reviews are from people who were paid to leave a review or friends and family. I work for a property Management Company and we recently hired this company to do some waterproofing work at one of our properties. This company was referred to us by one of our Managers who has also had a bad experience with them and stated she is sorry she referred them to us. The Board approved their proposal because it was the lowest bid. This company is the perfect example of you get what you pay for. Caroline Concepcion bugged and bugged about receiving a $300.00 deposit then disappeared once the deposit was made. I had to chase her down for over 3 months to get them to do any work. Each time she claimed a contractor stopped by the property to check the planter and it was wet and they don't work with wet dirt, mind you this was never stated in their proposal nor was I made aware until I complained to her about the lack of attention to this matter. I had landscapers turn off irrigation and she continued to state that her guys went out and dirt was still wet. The property is about a block from the Beach so precipitation close to the beach is always high, hence why dirt will most likely be wet. Caroline has failed to communicate with us within a timely manner, fails to return emails and phone calls and always has an excuse. The Board of Directors decided to cancel the work with this company and I have been trying to get their deposit back for 3 weeks now and she has yet to return my call or answer my emails. THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. DO NOT PAY A DEPOSIT AS THEY WILL JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT COMPLETE THE WORK."

"I’ve used Rick and his team at The Carpenters Son for several projects in the past year. Two commercial retail build-outs and one residential home renovation. Over this year he has become our “go-to” guy for all things large and small. I could not be happier with the level of trust we’ve established over this time, and even more impressive, I felt that trust and transparency in him and his business practices from the start. Beyond that, I’ve had a number of obstacles on these jobs that required an impeccable level of communication and intelligent problem-solving solutions to get to the finish line. Rick and his team consistently maintained constant and reliable contact with me throughout each job and were really helpful in the instances when unforeseen issues came up. I would, and actively do, recommend Rick and his team to anyone who asks me for help finding a contractor."

"We have worked with Rick and his team for three major projects now...First was a bathroom addition along with repainting our whole house and building/installing built-ins for every closet. The second project was retail space renovations for a new business we started in the Belmont Shore area. Rick was creative with his approach to the ever changing job scope and found solutions to working with unexpected additions such as reclaimed wooden mantels (they are HEAVY!!!!) and reclaimed wood siding. His team was extremely careful painting and working around all my expensive vintage tables and the final product was absolutely well done!!! We love it! Project three is another retail renovation...again they did a wonderful job and I was impressed with the management as they were wrapping up project two while I needed them to really push the start date for project three. I already plan to utilize their skills for two future projects on the horizon."

"I had called a handyman service, and another general contractor, before reaching The Carpenter's Son Construction, Inc. The other two services did not return my call. There was someone waiting in the office to take my call when I phoned this company. I was able to make an appointment to have Rick Caudle, the company owner, come out to give us an estimate the next day. He arrived on time, and he provided me with a lot of information. He was extremely sincere as he explained what would need to be done. The proposal he sent was thorough, and the bid was very reasonably priced. Rick sent a carpenter, Rigo, to complete this job. It involved upgrading our closets. He did excellent work, explaining why he did what he did every step of the way. The next day a young man, Jonathan, came out to fix our attic access lid. He worked quickly, and in a professional way. I am very happy that I now have an accommodating, honest general contractor I can call on. Thank you!"

"I'm so glad our friend recommended Rick. We needed a new water heater and he and his crew took care of us quickly and were professional from start to finish. His price was $200 less than another company from whom we received a price. On the day of the installation, one of his crew members arrived 10 minutes early but because it was before 8, he waited outside. Within a couple of hours, the new water heater was installed. We'll call Rick again the next time we need help with our house!"
