    We had a great experience working with Jerry. We hired him to do our wainscoting and Crown molding. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. The quality of his work really shows in the final product, and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. His skill level is top-notch, and everything was completed with precision and care. What also stood out was his communication throughout the entire process. He was professional, responsive, kept me updated, answered questions promptly, and made sure expectations were clear from start to finish. Reliable, skilled, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality finish carpentry work.

    I cannot say enough about Jerry and Van K! Jerry was very quick to respond to my request for a quote. He came out, was extremely personable and straightforward, he gave me a no hassle quote and was so thorough. He even came to the house to ensure our sliding door was delivered properly, from the supplier, and placed where we wanted it stored until we scheduled him to do the work. He was on time, professional, and did an excellent job installing our patio door. Just an all around great experience and Jerry was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!

    We highly recommend Van K Carpentry. Jerry was quick to respond, very reasonable and extremely personable. He did a fantastic job on modifying our kitchen island for a countertop install. We will definitely call him for any future projects.

    Van put in new closet doors and installed closet shelves. Awesome job in installation and staining. Would rehire if I needed help again and recommend for others to do the same.

    Quick to respond to my initial request and also when I called with questions. They were extemely friendly and had suggestions for me about an item I did not know even existed! Also, came with clean dropcloths and put plastic up to minimize my dust concerns. Highly recommend to anyone. They did pocket doors, put a front railing up and also installed my two window boxes. Weâ re â happy campersâ here!

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
