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!

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!

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.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet with them to see what they are looking to do. Then I give them additional ideas if requested. I alway want to have a clear process of what will be the steps I will follow to completing the work.

I have over 30 years experience in construction and have my construction supervisor license.
