John Vanacore of Consolidated Carpentry is not only an excellent carpenter, but is also a top-notch problem solver. Over the past two years, he has completed significant repairs for us, including the replacement of a ridge beam on our garage, various exterior siding repairs, installed new entry doors, built & installed interior storage shelving, did some fine cabinetry work, and much more. He is a consummate professional and is our ‘go to’ carpenter.
