After a recent, very bad experience. Please refer to my review of Driftwood Carpentry. Josh Johnston's work was exceptional. He removed my leaking and damaged Pergola roof. He repaired the damage to the beams. He installed the new panels - perfectly. He even washed the roof down to clean it - no leaks. It is now perfect. Exactly what I originally expected. Josh fitted new hinges to my kitchen corner cupboard door. Fine tuned it, so quick and easy - it is fantastic! He then removed a piece of loose wood vaneer holding up the TV in my bedroom. He provided a solid wood panel and secured it to two wall studs. It is now centered exactly where you would expect it to be. Filled the screw holes ready for painting. Cleaned up the dust. I cannot speak too highly of the quality of Josh's work. He took a fraction of the previous jobs time. Josh Johnstone is an efficient, skilled Carpenter. He was the solution - not a new problem. Thoroughly trustworthy - Exceptional!!

My pergola roof was replaced - the screws were put into the trough instead of the high of the corrigation, it now rattles and leaks. In about six places the screws have missed and or split the beam. It has to be replaced. He was suppose to replace all the hinges in my kitchen - not one replaced. They still have dust on them. The new hinge for a kitchen corner cupboard door was not fitted. The door is sitting in my Dinning Room. - He left it and hasn't been back. He had three goes at fitting a TV bracket to my bedroom wall, so many holes I had to provide a piece of timber wood vaneer to cover them. It still isn't centered. I am a 62 yrs old female in poor health and I was the one holding the bracket for him. Passing up sheeting etc."890

Holly helped me to weed, prune and clean up my garden/courtyard. Holly is a real worker. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was happy to follow my advice and direction. No time wasting. She used a hedge trimmer, power shears and Blower/Vac. Holly works smart and hard. Excellent value and service for a very reasonable price. I have no hestation recommending Holly to you.
