Hello, I am James Gibbs, sole proprietor of JG Carpentry. I have been building, repairing and renovating homes in Essex county for over 30 years. My primary goal is to satisfy my customer's needs and budget. I work alone, so I only take on smaller jobs as this allows me to focus on getting things done quickly and efficiently. I hold an unrestricted Construction Supervisor's License and Home Improvement Contractor license in MA and am fully insured. I am experienced in all aspects of residential construction, specializing in interior remodeling and custom built-in installation. I am willing to work with older homes, repairing ill-fitting doors and windows, squeaky stairs and floors, etc. I spent 6 years as a construction foreman in the film industry, and am always willing to take on creative or unusual projects. All my work is done in accordance with local building laws, and all jobs must have a contract signed by both parties before work can begin. No plumbing or electrical work.
"James had to remove some sections of rotten wood at the front entrance first and replace with new material before he could remove an old storm door and replace it with a new full view storm door with new hardware. The front entrance looks great and works great. I will call James for any work I have in and around my house as he does excellent work."

"Buyer beware!! DO NOT use Rite Window & Bath Slapdash Installation Faulty shower design, poor workmanship, as well as mismatched and defective Kohler products. The Rite Window and Bath managers demonstrated little respect, were dismissive of our concerns, and minimized the structural flaws and poor workmanship. When it was apparent Rite Window and Bath were not going to adequately address our concerns, we filed a complaint with Kohler Customer Care. The result of their investigation resulted in the removal of the shower and reinstall with a new design. While the reinstalled shower design is better than the original, it is still far from quality workmanship."

Family owned handyman services. Licensed and fully insured. Quality workmanship. We guarantee it is done right the first time.
"I hired Daniel to replace a door and replace weatherstripping around two other doors. He also painted my back door. The weatherstripping soon failed and came off the doors, and the paint job was poorly executed. This spring, I was preparing to move and discovered that he had dumped all his construction debris, including the old door, behind my garage and onto my neighbor's property. I also discovered he had thrown scrap wood in my bushes next to the house. He also had issues with promptness."

Replacing a patio door usually takes between three and five hours. This includes removing your old door, fixing any damaged areas, and precisely installing and sealing the new one. If your door has a complex design or larger dimensions, it might take longer, since additional adjustments are needed to ensure everything fits perfectly.
Even if your patio door doesn't look broken, it might still be inefficient or insecure. Signs it's time for a replacement include squeaking or scraping noises when you open or close the door, cracked frames, condensation on the glass or frame, gaps between the door and frame, or feeling a draft when you're nearby.
If the glass in your patio door breaks but the door itself is still in good shape, you can just replace the damaged pane to get it working again. This involves removing the broken glass, carefully installing new high-quality glass, and making sure everything is sealed properly for energy efficiency. This repair brings back your door's appearance and function without the cost of a full replacement.
Sliding glass doors offer abundant natural light and create spacious interiors, yet they provide less security and reduced insulation compared to wood or metal options. Upgrading the glass to a multi-glazed option enhances both insulation and security, optimizing energy efficiency and durability. This premium upgrade offers substantial improvements in overall performance and resilience.
A patio door lasts 20 to 30 years when installed with precision and maintained consistently. Proper installation, regular cleaning, and prompt repairs extend its durability, while robust construction ensures enhanced energy efficiency and security. Consistent maintenance increases service life and preserves beauty, adding long-term value and functionality to your home.
