Mountain Town Carpentry, Inc

MTC, (Mountain Town Carpentry, Inc.) has completed three projects and is finishing the fourth for me. MTC is rehabbing, in stages, a 1919 house of poor condition while it is occupied. Needed materials aren't of standard measures and everything is off plumb. James Carr of MTC figures out the unconventional ways needed to make a four-square house, with ivy browning over the roof of the second story and an 8 in drop in the kitchen floor, into a beautiful home for me. I save enough for the next phase. We discuss my vision for what is needed. With economics in mind, he helps plan, researches possibilities, gives accurate cost analysis, finds quality materials, handles legal procedures, and organizes the best team for project implementation. Projects include: stabilizing the foundation with footers; correcting chimney issues; roofing using tin and standard shingles; putting insulation in the attic, in walls, and under floors; redoing room ceilings; creating a pull-down access to attic; updating plumbing a section at a time; updating external and internal electrical systems; getting house heating in an emergency; installing foundation vents; redoing ceilings; replacing rotten wood of overhangs and more. When replacing the house siding and shakes, James found that the internal wiring was "knob and tube." It had never been updated only merged with newer electrics. I got a kick out of it when he told me this is the wiring Ben Franklin used. Currently MTC is building a garage with upstairs storage/studio space that fits the topography of my land. James stays current with building codes. He is concerned with the economics of his projects and current with newer construction practices including sustainable, ecological applications. MTC is and has been dependable and honest with all the crazy situations of my old house and new garage. I would recommend Mountain Town Carpentry, Inc. for any type of job.
