Reviews for Providence carpenters

Recent success stories from people in the Providence area.

We contracted Mr. Turnbull for around 60 feet of fencing, after struggling to find other contractors at an affordable rate. Mr. Turnbull was able to come survey the site just a day after I asked him, and gave us a quote then and there. This was on a Friday, and on Monday he and his crew showed up and finished the fence, all before noon! To say we were pleased with his professionalism, quality, and speed is an understatement. We were so impressed that we contracted him again for a further 50 feet of fencing. I can't overstate how nice it was to have these jobs done in an *extremely* timely manner, with excellent quality to boot! Absolutely would recommend OT Construction, and we might be contracted him again in the future!

The most recent job Jim and team did for us was a redo of our old shed. Completely rebuilt the front end, including the door, which was custom to reproduce the unusual shape of the one that was there before. Put nice-looking hardware on it, too. The wood they used for that wall and the door was just the right amount of "rough" to go with the rest of the shed. They also cut away and replaced rotten wood along the bottoms on the other three sides. Inside, they reinforced along the spine of the roof to pull it back together where the whole structure had been settling. They topped off the project with a great paint job. Attaching before and after pictures.
