EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Melinda ElmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful outdoor deck that Chris from Coast Carpentry built for us. From start to finish, he was the definition of professionalism—always punctual, arriving at 7:30 AM sharp every day, and working tirelessly through 102-degree heat without missing a beat. Even when it rained, Chris was right back on the job as soon as the weather cleared. His attention to detail is unmatched—he’s truly a perfectionist. The craftsmanship of our new deck reflects his commitment to quality. Chris kept us updated and involved in the project/decision making throughout the process. He also kept his work area incredibly clean, which we really truly appreciated especially when having small children and a dog that continued to use the backyard during construction. Thanks to Chris, we now have a gorgeous outdoor space that we look forward to enjoying with our family for many years. We’re already thinking about future projects we’d love for him to tackle. Highly, highly recommend Chris and this company if you're looking for a skilled, dedicated, and reliable deck builderPosted on BonnieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Chris about a small cabinetry project for my pool cabana. Even though my project was too small for him to complete at this time my experience was positive!! First, I was impressed that Chris answered my call himself right away even though he was at work. Second, he came to my house later that afternoon to view the project. Third, he gave me the number of another carpenter who he thought would be interested in my job… and that carpenter did reach out to me about the project. Simple lessons in customer service that make a big difference in running a successful businessPosted on Timothy RowleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Coast Carpentry to repair and remodel the deck to our home in Ocean City NJ. The repair essentially required removing the entire deck upgrading it to include a beautiful stairway access to our first floor. We couldn’t be happier with the work completed.
