We really wanted a dining area in our new apartment, but there wasn’t that much space to work with. James created a custom table and L-shaped bench that fit perfectly in the space and we LOVE it. He even built the benches so that we can lift the seats and store things inside of them. The piece is beautiful, sturdy, and well-designed.James was communicative, professional, considerate, and enthusiastic throughout the project. We met three times throughout the process. He came to measure the space before he started so that we could talk about the dimensions that fit our vision and made the most sense. He invited us to his workshop when he was halfway done so that we could see how it was coming along. And then he installed it in a few hours (and did a thorough job cleaning up afterwards too). I definitely recommend J&A Custom Carpentry and I hope to work with James again on future projects!

James is an artist. He built new ash hardwood frames for our almost 100-year-old leaded glass windows, preserving the original glass and matching the finish to the existing chestnut trim perfectly. The windows themselves look like fine furniture. In his heart, James is a preservationist and has a deep knowledge of how to complete a project using the right woods and right techniques. James is also nice, trustworthy, transparent and careful. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I searched long and hard for someone in Northern NJ with great reviews and very reasonable prices and James was the man! I felt I could trust him and he kept me updated each step of the way with my board and batten installation at my house. He offered many additional tips on the best way to proceed with rest of my project as well. Couldn’t be nicer and easier to work with.incredible craftsmanship (I can’t even see any seams or nail holes) and knowledge and he milled his wood himself for the job at his shop. No sup-rises. The Contract was very fair and up front and he had previously given us an estimate that was free.

James is a true master of his craft. We had James and Paul help us with various complex finishes in our kitchen and dining room and we could not be happier with the end product. James is a trustworthy and transparent professional that has great attention to detail and takes great pride in his work. We will use James and Paul for all of our future carpentry needs!

I found J & A Carpentry on Google via a search in the local area; what a terrific find. We had a built in Sub-Zero refrigerator removed and replaced with a non-Sub Zero and needed the cherry cabinets that surrounded the sub-zero reworked.We were quite nervous as the entire kitchen is Cherry and the Sub-Zero was the focal piece of the kitchen.James (the owner) did the work himself. Let me get the basics out of the way; he was friendly, customer focused, punctual, and communicated with us throughout the process. Beyond that, he was meticulous, clean/neat, and most importantly, he did outstanding work...and oh yeah, his pricing is beyond reasonable.We are absolutely happy with the final product and have already started discussing other projects around the home. Take a look at his carvings and furniture work, it will give you an idea of his abilities and his attention to detail.

J&A is the best! The quality of work is second to none. They fixed a huge gap between my refrigerator and cabinet. It came out perfect. I can’t wait to have them back to finish my island!

We hired James to modify a kitchen cabinet to accommodate a new refrigerator. He needed to reduce the height of the cabinet so we could install a taller fridge. He did an amazing job, detaching the cabinet from the wall, taking the cabinet and doors back to his shop to work on and returning in a couple of hours to reinstall the modified cabinet. The work was beautifully done and the cabinet looked perfect. We were so lucky to find James. He is an excellent craftsman and a fine person. James was also very careful to observe covid precautions. He will definitely be our go to guy for future work.

It was a pleasure having James as our carpenter! His workmanship is fantastic! He help us repair steps from our exterior spiral staircase which was build custom to the house. He was able to find wood that were the closest match to out stairs and custom cut to fit the stair. He also help us improve our 80s deck railing to code. He was very direct and will tell you right away if there is any issue he found as he is working and will help you resolve any structural issue. I highly recommend his work to anyone who is serious about safety and great woodwork!
