Testimonials
Trusted by North Fork homeowners.
Tim Cary has been a great find for me. He planned and executed a custom basement entrance for my home which turned out beautifully. He also renovated my outbuilding, returning it to pristine form. Having trained and served in the Marines, it is no surprise that Tim is a great communicator and problem solver. He is reliable and always thinks of the customer first. His pricing is very fair and there are no surprises. I give him the key to my home and he gets the work done without needing supervision, texting me with photos and calling if I need to make a decision. It is such a pleasure to have someone I can trust fixing things the right way!

I highly recommend Tim Cary. He is local, conscientious, reliable, and very cost-conscious when purchasing supplies. I own one of the oldest homes in Greenport and Tim has restored it beautifully. I even added a new bathroom, no small feat in such an old home where nothing was level. Tim and his helper Adriana are a pleasure to deal with, both very trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable. Don’t hesitate to hire them for a great job.
