    Our house was resided by jay and his team. They were fast, hard working, professional, clean, and had a great price. I couldn’t be happier with the results. He also did a few tasks for us that were above and beyond our expectations.

    Please read to the end. Before searching for and then hiring Jay, we had had two large skylights removed during a complete re-roofing of our home, which left two very large open gaps in our bedroom ceiling that needed to be dry walled and sealed. We decided to have the popcorn ceiling coatings removed throughout the very large bedroom at the same time, with the entire ceiling readied for new paint (which we had decided to do ourselves after Jay’s work). Jay and his two man crew were excellent. They were on time, honest, and did a superb job. Since we had decided to paint the ceilings ourselves, including one which was a pitched cathedral ceiling, Jay offered to leave his scaffold/platform behind for us to use. Very kind. Well, unfortunately my Dad died several days later and when Jay called to ask about picking up the platform, I explained about my Dad. His response? “My wife and I are so sorry about your Dad. Don’t worry about the platform, just let us know when you’re finished with it. Again, we’re very sorry.” Jay was like a family member. We didn’t get the painting done for several weeks. We finally contacted Jay and he promptly picked up his platform. His kindness, generosity, careful and excellent work made all the difference in the world. My advice? Hire this amazing man and craftsman without hesitation!

    I highly recommend Jay due to his quick & professional workmanship as he replaced the garage stairs. Im using a walker and quality is necessary. He gave a very good estimate and the next day the project was completed. I was so pleased because the car space is small and the snow/rain season is here. Measurements and extra efforts were made to accommodate my needs ❤. He also made the deck safe for oil deliveries.

    We are so happy with the work that Carpentry By Jay did on our home! A new and beautiful deck was added, and two new doors and a storm door were replaced. One new door involved moving the door over a few inches, which meant wall work - sheetrock, sanding, accuracy. We also had a back porch that connected our home to our garage, and the interior walls were in a bad state of disrepair - letting in rain and probable termite damage. The windows were also a decayed mess. The walls and windows were replaced, two deck doors added (one leading out to the new deck from the porch) and with the changes we needed to have a section of new exterior siding added. That porch now looks more like a sunroom! Jay is an easy person to work with and responded to our communications in a timely manner. We love his personality, and we trust his expertise. We look forward to working with Jay again in the future!

    I loved Jays work! He is the best, very responsive, and has a great attitude towards the work he provides. He is also very knowledgeable, made sure I knew everything he was doing! I will always give him a call for more work I need. Thank you Jay for your work, and your time to make my home beautiful!

    We have always been more than happy with Jay’s work. He did our basement remodel. He did better than we’d anticipated - went above and beyond with attention to detail and creativity. He brought awesome ideas to the table and the end result is beautiful. And in budget! Jay works hard and efficiently - and he is timely - soooo not typical in the industry, based on my many past experiences) I wholeheartedly recommend Jay’s services!

    I had Carpentry By Jay complete three projects for me: Deck, Residing, and installing a new bathroom. He was easy to work with and extremely polite with myself and my family. He was responsive with communication and was extremely flexible when in the middle of the construction. I think he sometimes went out of his way to make sure the job was done right and doing little things like bringing in my garbage barrels or taking away garbage (who does that?). Overall would hire him again.

    Carpentry by jay put an addition on my house. They were on time and professional. It took me awhile to find a carpenter I truly can trust in putting an addition to my house. Jay was not only SUPER nice but communicated extremely well, let me know all of the steps and at a very good price. He is a top notch carpenter and I recommend a ton!

    I worked with Jay on one of our rental properties. He did work that included new roof, siding, work in the basement to reinforce structural integrity, installed dishwasher/garbage disposal, replaced windows, installed crown moulding, new shower surround, as well as other items. He also completely renovated the portico which is a work of art and all the neighbors stop to comment. He was amazing to work with- very helpful in the project and super communicative. Any time I texted, I’d get a response within minutes. He was kind, professional, trustworthy, and very eager to make things right for the customer. I’ll be using him again!

    I am proud to recommend Jay Lapointe of Carpentry by Jay. From the first day until his completion of the job, he is professional with his work, honest with his clients, and likeable with others as well as with animals. He wants to work and he will communicate when he will be there and what hes going to accomplish each day he works for you.

    I recently used Jay for my first remodeling project included for framing, siding, door installations, trim work, and moving the basement stairway. He’s been helpful and informative throughout the process and I look forward to continuing to use his services in the future.

    Jay was absolutely awesome! We needed an interior door installed last minute because we had no idea what we were doing and didn’t want to mess things up, and Jay came to the rescue! Was very nice, very professional, got the job done quick, thank you so much Jay!!!

    Jay was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative throughout the process and kept me in the loop about the project. He responded right away when I reached out and got the job done quickly.

    Very impressed with Jay and team! Deck was built quickly and professionally. Extremely respectful. Cleaned up area and good follow up on finishing touches. Would use again and highly recommend.

    I can say enough about the job from start to finish. The cabinets are wonderful 👏 and the best is yet to come.

    When I needed a carpenter to replace a door at my home, I knew exactly who to call. I met Jay while he was doing a job at the house right next to mine, and I couldn’t help but notice his talent and the pride he takes in his work. He’s a perfectionist, and you can tell he enjoys his work. The more challenging the job the better for Jay! He replaced my door in a timely fashion at a very reasonable price, and it looks great. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone who has a carpentry/home improvement project, and I would not hesitate to hire him again.Fran T.

    We purchased an older home and needed someone with experience in this area to come in and assist with flooring repair, guidance and installation. We elicited Jays expertise and were pretty happy with the outcome of the installation of the vinyl floor. From understanding our requirements, coming up with a detailed scope with explanation, quoting, execution and followup, Jay and his team were professional throughout the entire process. Found a good collaborator and partner with Jay.

    Carpentry By Jay built a detached 3 car garage for our rental property in Glastonbury. From start to finish we enjoyed a flawless project. Our garage came in on budget and on time. Jay maintained constant communication with myself and my partner, We where updated daily as we where out of state for most of the project. I will use them in the future and refer them happily!!! Thank you Jay!!!!!

    Very punctual, attention to detail and professional. Jay and his team remove wall in my kitchen and replace floor. They did really wonderful job. My kitchen look so big. Will definitely do business again with Jay.

  • Review 22 (2021-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent job, great rate, friendly professional people who show up when they say they will or are early, didn’t raise the price when the job that looked very simple turned out to be a little more involved. Wish I knew of Jay years sooner because I would have had a lot more projects done by now.
