The Old Court Promise
When you entrust your remodeling project to Old Court Carpenters, you will see me onsite daily, implementing trade skills and project management techniques honed over almost twenty years. While I have the utmost confidence in all of the people that I work with, it is important to me to be available to you. You will find me on the project on a daily basis.
I have spent almost thirty years in the residential remodeling industry in the Massachusetts area. Beginning with my uncle and his colleagues, I have had the good fortune to work with many talented tradespeople, architects, and engineers on a variety of exciting and challenging projects. These experiences prompted me to begin my own company where I could implement the philosophies and practices that I believe in while working on local homes.
Old Court Carpenters has successfully completed projects for many satisfied homeowners.
One of the reasons for our success is that we are always aware that we are in your home. Being mindful of our impact on your routine allows us to utilize techniques and procedures to minimize our presence. These techniques vary from dust control and complex plastic walls which segregate the work area to the simple courtesy of letting you know when different phases of the project that may affect you are about to begin.
In keeping with this thought process, we encourage your communication and feedback. Please feel free to approach us with ideas for improving the ways that we work in your home.
Our Philosphy
The Old Court
The Old Court is the remains of a fourteenth century castle next to the home where I grew up in the southwest of Ireland. As I began in the carpentry trade, learning from my father, he pointed out that though the Old Court is now an antiquity and a tourist attraction, it was first and foremost a home. My father felt that the longevity of the structure owed mainly to the workmanship of the builders. By utilizing the best products and practices of the time, they had created a home that would last for over six centuries.
I decided from a young age to employ these same standards as we built or remodeled homes. When I decided to come to the US, my father gave me what I now think of as the most important professional advice of my career. He told me that though houses may look different, and construction practices may vary, remember that first and foremost, it is a home.
