What is the difference between engaging an ID firm and engaging JS Carpentry & Contracts?
The difference is about 20-30% off their carpentry quotes and we do not propose design ideas, generally. We can prepare plans and drawings but you’ll have to show us reference photos and tell us what ideas you have for your space. Customers who choose to work directly with carpenters or renovation contractors like us will have to take the on the responsibility of the majority of design decisions.
