Jay Freitag LLC at a glance

Customers frequently cite door installation, carpentry, painting, and minor repairs as key services. Recurring themes include prompt communication, flexible scheduling, itemized pricing, and attention to detail. One criticism noted in lower-rated reviews involves the absence of a formal estimate and a slower pace compared to other contractors, which led to the customer hiring a different provider.

Jay responded in less than 24 hours to our request. He was willing to squeeze in the smaller project of modifying our cabinetry and setting our new farmhouse sink. He worked with the countertop installer to ensure dimensions were exactly to specifications. He also noticed a minor plumbing issue and was willing and able to solve it. Excellent carpenter!

I had Jay finish and correct the framing in our basement that I did. He did an excellent job and was great at communicating the work that was done and why. Looking forward to having Jay do additional projects on our home.

We had Jay install doors and trim to the office in our new home, and they turned out amazing! We are very happy with how they look, he was able to match everything so it looks seamless. It was super easy to communicate with Jay, he was flexible and fast with scheduling, and was the best quote we got after looking around for a while. He explained everything that we needed so we fully understood the scope of the project. Would definitely recommend Jay to anyone with a home project!

I have had Jay install both interior and exterior doors and he has done a fabulous job. He is very skilled and takes pride in his work. I have used him for smaller “handyman” tasks but I would gladly hire him for larger jobs. I highly recommend him!

Jay did a phenomenal job installing the doors and trim of my bedroom. Communicated clearly about the pricing as well as the step-by-step process of his work, very courteous, and was prompt in responding to my inquiries as well as setting up a time to work on my project. Would highly recommend.

Response from the owner · 2 years ago

Thank you Sean! I also appreciate you for having all of the materials on site and ready to install.

Jay is outstanding! His skill, craftsmanship and knowledge across a multitude of projects to enhance our home is far superior to others in his field. Over the past year, Jay helped us update our new home to meet our needs and make it our own. He did a wide range of projects demoing old 70s paneling/built-ins, dry wall, painting, trim work, flooring, kitchen cabinets, and more. Jay is very direct, a wonderful communicator, punctual, clean and follows through on everything. He is also very respectful of all things- our home and our family. Our youngest is a big fan of Jay and always had questions about what he was doing. He was patient and kind with her, and also very aware of making his work space safe for her when he left for the day. We will reach out to Jay for all future projects!

Jay is excellent at communication and does very professional work. I had a light and a ceiling fan installed with ease. I will most certainly contact him again with other jobs. Thanks again Jay for the great work JoAnn S
