Jim and his team did an absolutely outstanding job on our deck! From start to finish, they were professional, communicative, and highly skilled. They completed the project on time, within budget, and with craftsmanship that exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail, quality of materials, and overall design were flawless. Our new deck is not only beautiful but also built to last. If you’re looking for a top-tier deck contractor, look no further—Jim is the best in the business! Highly recommended!

Absolute pleasure working with Jim to do a repair (nearly full rebuild!) of an old deck at one of our properties. The work was done quickly, up to code, and came out beautifully. Having worked with a lot of different contractors, I can absolutely say Jim and his team are one of the best. Thanks Jim!

I have used Thumbtacks for many projects at my house. All of them have gone well but none of them went as well as my deck extension project working with Jim Amara at Jim’s Carpentry! The crew that Jim brought to the project were straight pros! They came when they said they would, they responded immediately to my messages, they worked until the deck was done over a couple of days. The highlight was watching the finishing carpenter. He worked like an artist. The deck is beautiful. I will use Jim’s Carpentry again and again! Thank you to Jim, his son and crew.

My grandmother has wanted a new deck for the past decade, and Jim’s crew fulfilled that dream beyond our expectations; I haven’t seen her this happy in years haha. They were punctual, professional, precise, friendly, and extremely accommodating. I’d have to recommend these guys to anyone seeking some carpentry work done, and we will without question have more projects completed by the crew again.

Jim did a great job on my deck and was very communicative despite some necessary rescheduling due to weather conditions. Thank you
