Old Fashioned Construction

Old Fashioned Construction/​Joe Hansberry is a great choice if you are looking for someone to work on your home. Since moving into our first place back in the spring, my wife and I have used Joe for 5 separate jobs covering a number of projects inside and outside of our home. These work Joe has done for us runs the spectrum from little odd jobs to larger, multi-​day projects. In all cases Joe has done a great job all around, has been very reliable and is a very neat and courteous worker and does work the right way, with attention to detail, quality and craftsmanship.
We have used Joe for a wide range of projects, including installing built-​in shelves in our pantry closet and hall closet, installing a custom mantel/​built-​in shelves unit around our living room fireplace, renovating a mahogany farmer’s porch and designing/​fabricating a blueboard fascia around some ductwork we had to install in our kitchen to accommodate a ventilation hood.
In situations where finish carpentry is involved, Joe has a sharp eye for detail, quality and careful work. Our built-​ins and mantel are all A-​1 work and look as if they were original to the house being built – Joe did a great job on these.
In addition to great carpentry skills, Joe also has a keen eye for design and aesthetics as well. When we were trying to decide how to cover the ductwork in our kitchen, we had thrown around a few ideas with Joe, which he took the time to discuss and quote on with us. Ultimately, though, we went with an original idea of Joe’s to box in the ductwork with drywall. I think in the end this worked out for the best as it maintained the aesthetic of our kitchen better and was a less costly option as well. The point being here is that Joe has an artistic eye and design sensibility that is much, much stronger than your average carpenter.
Our experience with Joe has been great. He has been very reliable for us and is a neat, clean worker who always cleans up at the end of each working day as well as at the end of the project. I would strongly recommend Joe/​Old Fashioned Construction to anyone who is looking for help with home improvement projects.
