Joe Lucey Carpentry Inc.

I hired Joe Lucey Carpentry, Inc. to repair damage to my house that occurred when a large heavy snow-load avalanched off my metal roof an ripped my deck off the side of my house last winter. I learned that the deck had not been flashed properly, and water had been creeping in to rot my house sill year in and year out. Joe and his crew dismantled and removed the old deck, like it had never even been there. They painstakingly removed the remains of the sill, supported my house and replaced it with a new pressure treated sill. They applied membrane water proofing, house warp, repaired all the shingles damaged by the whole debacle. Then they built me a good sturdy landing and stairs to serve the door that opened on to the defunct deck. I also took this opportunity to have them replace my storm door, and they not only did a great job of that, they waterproofed the sill of the doorway, which had not been in the past, and found the steel entry door was ill-fitting and with a little shimming while they had things opened up for the storm door install, they corrected that door as well so no air leaks around the edges anymore. Every man who stepped foot on my property did so respectfully, they were well spoken, industrious. At the end of each day the job site was pristinely cleaned up. The craftsmanship is impressive. Since this landing is much smaller than the former deck, I worried about potential for getting furniture in or out of the house - they designed the railing to allow 6 or so screws to be removed and a whole panel can be lifted off to give full straight-ahead access to the door. It is so well incorporated into the design that you would not know it could even be removed. They reworked the downspout for my eves, which had been previously set up to accommodate the presence of the deck that was no longer present. It look great, works great. I am a big fan of This Old House - and that is a standard of workmanship that I aim for when I try to find people to work on my house. . This company gets my enthusiastic "This Old House" highest rating. They do not give their work away, and they were not the lowest bidder for my project, but I could tell by the quality of the estimate that this was not going to be the job they "say" they will do for X amount to get your business, then nickel and dime you once you are in the process for more money. The price was the price, it was more, but the work quality and the caliber of workers was well worth it. I will hire them again - and that truly IS the highest rating that can ever be given. And I will recommend them highly to anyone who is looking for an outstanding company committed to doing the job RIGHT, not cheap.

Joe and Company renovated our condominium about 10 years ago and have done smaller projects for us since. I'll keep it simple - our experience with Joe and every single person associated with him - employees and sub-contractors - has been exceptional. You name the quality: workmanship, craftsmanship, honesty, timeliness, care and cleanliness, whatever - Joe and crew will exceed your expectations. There's no need to look elsewhere.

We can't say enough great things about Joe and his crew. He has done quite a bit of work for us, the largest project being a custom bath. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, can see your vision and make it come true. if we only had unlimited remodeling funds we would keep Joe and his crew busy all year long!

Joe and his team did a great job remodeling our kitchen last year. it is much more functional and family friendly, and he even managed to get it done just in time for our big family Christmas party!

Joe designed and remodeled a bathroom for us that, after 30+ years, needed it badly. He also helped us solve some structural and plumbing problems. Working with Joe's guys, the plumbers, electricians, and the bathroom supplier was made smooth and seamless by his overseeing of the job. With some basic reorientation of plumbing and electrical supply, and working around tricky slanted ceiling lines, we were able to solve the problems. Joe's folks are craftsmen of the highest order, we are thrilled with the results. Joe is honest, transparent, and writes a damn good estimate..and sticks to it! My only advice to Joe and clients is to be up front and clear about timing commitments..this is a busy guy! Communicate the constraints mutually! Very pleased with this and several other projects Joe has completed for us!

I recently had Joe Lucey renovate my kitchen. He coordinated all aspects of the process, from demolition of existing cabinets to removal of all debris. He installed all of the cabinets, prepped the floors and walls for tiling, and did all of the plumbing work. He and his crew did a magnificent job! He kept the disruption in my home to a minimum and completed the job on time.

Joe Lucey Carpentry did a great deal of work repairing the exterior of our town house condominiums (four). In laymen's terms, the builder had cut corners on the flashing and water had leaked down into the sill area causing rot. His crew was very efficient and good at letting us in on all the bad news as it occurred. The builder had also used inferior siding, sections of which had to be replaced. It was a big job and they were professional and skillful.

Joe and his company remodeled two bathrooms for me and have done a variety of other repair and remodeling projects around the house. He is courteous, professional, and very conscientious. He managed the projects from start to finish - plumbers, electricians, cabinet work, tiling, enclosures, etc.. I am very satisfied with the quality of work and standard of care and now think of Joe as our go-to-guy for any carpentry and home projects.
