I recently hired Forrest to install trim throughout my condo, including door and window casings, baseboards, base shoe, and even build a custom window box. Additionally, he installed a beautiful custom tongue-and-groove facing for my fireplace, which had an existing mantle that required a creative solution to finish and work around. The finished product exceeded my expectations in every way. Forrest is a true craftsman, with impeccable attention to detail in every corner, joint, and edge. Not only did he expertly fit the baseboards and casings, but he also painted all of the trim with a flawless enamel finish, which elevated the entire look. He also painted all of the exposed beams and ductwork, making the space feel cohesive and refreshed. The tongue-and-groove fireplace facing added a sophisticated, timeless look to the living room, and the custom window box further showcased his skill and creativity. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work, and the results speak for themselves. One of the standout aspects of working with Forrest was his excellent communication throughout the project. From the start, he made sure to understand my vision and offer suggestions where needed. He kept me informed every step of the way, sending regular photos and videos to provide updates on his progress. This level of transparency made the entire process stress-free, and I felt confident that everything was being handled to the highest standard. He was responsive to my questions and made sure I was happy with every decision, big or small. Beyond the quality of his craftsmanship, what truly sets Forrest apart is his professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept the work area clean and organized. His willingness to go above and beyond—whether it was offering additional design ideas or adjusting details based on my feedback—made the experience truly exceptional. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of trim installation or carpentry work; it’s rare to find someone with such skill, communication, and attention to detail.

Forrest was a great communicator and I was happy to work with him. He was also flexible, performing the tasks while I had other service providers in the house. He educated me on a few of the projects and went to pick up his own supplies. I will definitely work with him again.

I recently needed two walls patched up and repainted after an accident. After reaching out to several service providers, most were either unable to meet my short timeframe or were charging exorbitant prices. However, Forrest from Kelly Improvements stood out for his diligence and efficiency. He arrived the same day to assess and begin the work. He addressed the repairs, and the area now looks as if nothing ever happened. His work was not only of high quality but also very reasonably priced. I am thoroughly impressed and will definitely be using his services again in the future. Highly recommended!

Details: Home • Just touch ups • Walls • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • Repainting, with same color • Fair - minor holes and scratches • Homeowner or property manager • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself
