Client Testimonial:

South Eastern Carpentry began the job when they promised and finished when they said they would. The crew was knowledgeable and courteous. The work flowed smoothly and they did the work without impacting my occupation of the house. The worksite was cleaned up every night before the crew left. After the job was completed, the cleanup was so thorough, I could not tell that contractors had been there (except for the beautiful siding, trim, new gutters, new bedroom and lovely screened in porch overlooking the lake). And most important, my wife loves it! Steve Chorney supervised the work personally, resolving the many issues that can come up when working on an older house. He is concerned with every aspect of the job and quality workmanship is number one with him. I am very pleased with my virtually “new” house and cannot say enough about how professional South East Carpentry was in every way. I have already recommended them to several of my friends and would definately use them again the next time I have work done on the house. If you want the best job, South East Carpentry would be the company to call.
