I paid Reed $1,250 up front for materials for a relatively small woodworking project. Unfortunately, the project became a long series of delays and missed commitments. Initially I was flexible when problems came up, but Reed repeatedly gave me new dates and assurances that the work would be completed, then missed those dates as well. When he finally came to install the work, he only did a fraction of the work he had agreed to. The part of the job he did install was left unfinished, and his design was not what we had agreed to. He then told me he could not return to continue the work for another nine days because he had committed to another job. At that point, after weeks of delays and multiple assurances that my project would be completed, I decided I needed to cut my losses and find someone else. Communication about the scope was also frustrating. Details I had clearly requested and that he had agreed to were then reinterpreted. After I expressed concern about the delays and broken commitments, Reed said he had been unaware that I had a deadline, even though I had specifically told him before paying the deposit that I wanted the work completed before my travel at the end of August. He seems to have some serious issues with time management and follow through. My experience was that I could not rely on his commitments or on the project being completed as we had agreed.

Reviews
I hired Reed for finish carpentry - interior window and door casings and some cabinetry trim. I’m really glad that I did! I appreciate his attention to detail and diligence. The work looks great. He did an amazing job at matching existing details so that the new casings look like they belong. I would highly recommend him!
Reed was amazing! I had a vision for white painted cane closet doors, but my closet was a strange size and most contractors told me it would be impossible to achieve. Reed came up with great solutions, measured the space and sent me ideas. He is an extremely talented problem solver and his quality of work was excellent. Before our doors we had curtains hanging, and they look so amazing now. He was kind, courteous, and responsive. He finished the project swiftly as we were preparing to welcome our first baby. We are so grateful and love our closet doors so much!
We had a great experience with Reed. We hired him to fabricate a doorway and install a door in a hallway in our house. He was meticulous, thorough, super clean and non-obtrusive while being friendly and approachable. The job ended up taking longer than he had anticipated, but he honored his original quote which showed a lot of integrity. We will absolutely be hiring him for jobs in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. 10/10!
Reed is fantastic! He’s professional, communicative, and delivers high-quality work. From the start, he was clear about the scope, timeline, and cost of the project, and he followed through on everything as promised. He’s easy to work with, respectful of the space, and clearly takes pride in doing the job right. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled handyman.
