Interior Handrail & Pantry

Jim from Inside-Out built a very nice railing around my stairway. The old one was wrought iron from the 70’s. Jim did a wonderful job at a reasonable price, he was professional and a very good carpenter. It really improved the look of the room. We later had him come back and build a pantry in the kitchen, we were just as happy with his work the second time around.

I would like to spread the word about Jim Spitzer and his company, Inside Out. It is somewhat stressful to look for someone to complete home improvement based on advertisements. If you are like me, you want to hear about someone else’s actual experience with a company. Jim Spitzer is an experienced, talented carpenter. We hired him to build a patio cover and were so pleased that we now have a long list of home improvement projects for him to do. Our patio cover turned out to be beautiful and extremely well built. Jim is very precise, knowledgeable, and caring about his work. He communicates about every aspect of the job, is very fair in his pricing, cleans up the job site each day, and is punctual and friendly. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Inside Out if you need building, painting or improvements on your home.

Jim came and removed our old deck in what seemed like no time. He then built us an absolutely gorgeous new deck. His bid was quite reasonable, he was very nice and his work is excellent. The new deck came out better than we had expected. We will be calling him again for other projects. Thanks so much Jim!

Shelving & Gaming Table

Jim is our go-to-guy for all of our carpentry projects. He has built custom shelves for us as well as a custom game table. The table is a work of art! It has a top that we can use for board games, as well as a built in TV that we can watch, or use for maps in table top role playing games! It has dice holders, cup holders, electrical outlets, the works! We couldn’t be more happy with Jim’s work, but we are also very satisfied with his fair prices, professional work ethic and the obvious pride he puts into his projects. Highly recommended!

I hired Jim to lay new hardwood flooring in my kitchen and living room. He did a great job and his price was very reasonable.

We had 7 solid wood doors that we needed installed. Jim quoted us an awesome price and said it would probably take about 2 days to get them all done. Not only did he show up exactly when he said he would he knocked out all 7 in one day! I have never seen someone so determined to get a job done right the first time and work so hard to ensure that I was pleased with the work he did! Jim was very professional and a pleasure to be around. He is very knowledgeable and good at what he does! We WILL hire him again for future projects! You won’t find a better handyman and you won’t be disappointed! Very highly recommended! Thanks Jim!!

King Sized Farm Bed

We worked with Jim to build on a new king size bed. Jim was super easy to work with, very professional, and made us feel comfortable that he could do the project. He came over with a detailed estimate, a photo book of all his past projects, and talked to us about different wood options. I felt very comfortable working with Jim and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the final product. He made us a white king size farm bed and it came out more beautiful than I imagined. I am so happy with it!!! Once we purchase our forever home, we will for sure be reaching out to Jim to customize some spaces in it. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and we absolutely love the our bed!

Great job! Jim was on time, picked up my new plug with his discount, and W/D is up and running! Will definitely use him again!

We were left with a renovation job unfinished for almost a year. The contractor abandoned us due to numerous personal issues. Jim provided a professional assessment. Jim finished what the contractor did not finish. He was professional on time, kept his word as to the cost, honest and trustworthy. We highly recommend Jim and will happy to provide reference. Thanks for your hard work and craftsmanship.

Jim did a great job with my doors. He is a wood expert and knows a great deal about anything interior or exterior wood related. Thanks

Jim did a built in shelf and T.V .area and fireplace surround for our home. Very easy to work with, asked questions about little details that we didn’t think of, very detailed, communicates through email extremely well, shows up when he says and his invoices and estimates are very specific. We enjoyed working with him and have a few more projects that we will be calling about soon.

I hired Inside Out to complete a few handyman projects for my mom. I don’t live in the same sate as her and was looking for someone that I could trust and was dependable. Jim with Inside Out was wonderful to work with from the time I spoke to him on the phone. He showed up to give an estimate on time and when he said he would. The projects were completed timely and cost effectively.

More importantly my senior citizen mother felt comfortable with Jim and his crew and said how happy she was with their work.

I plan to hire Inside Out for all her future projects.

Jim built some shelves for me in a closet. He came and measured for the shelving on Saturday and installed them for me on Tuesday. He is professional and did a great job for me.

Jim was on time and communicated times when he would be here. He stuck to his quote as well and informed me of changes as they came
up. He built custom cabinets for our mudroom. It is exactly what I wanted and he even made a few changes for me. I could not be more pleased with the result. We will be asking him to do more for us in the future, as well as, recommend him to family and friends.

Custom Bi-Level Deck & Root Cellar

Cellar:
The restoration of our root cellar was the third project Jim has done for us. I was actually a little nervous to call Jim, because root cellars are increasingly rare, and I really had no clue what we needed. But, my wife loves the idea of having a root cellar, and the old one was falling apart, so I needed help from someone.

Jim responded the same way he did on our first two projects, with a “can do” attitude and a matching work ethic. He designed a new cellar frame for us, complete with a sloped and shingled roof, a lifting trap door, siding, ventilation and repaired masonry. He also took into account the deck which we would eventually be building over the top of it. The work was completed on time and on budget, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Needless to say, we will be asking Jim to put in a bid our new deck as well.

Deck:
Our deck is the fourth project with Jim, and by far the largest. We had drawn up some plans and had a good idea of what we wanted. However when we showed the plans around, several contractors tried to make big changes, saying that it would be too complex and expensive, or that we should make changes that would make the deck easier to build. We even had one guy try to sell us on taking out the lower deck and replacing it with elevated landscaping!  Yes, that guy was in the landscape business. However when we showed the plans to Jim he responded, as always, by putting together a plan to accomplish what we wanted not what was easier for him.

As the project progressed, Jim brought great ideas to the table to make the deck better, and relentlessly drove the project to completion. He is very dedicated to the quality of his work. At the end of the project, the City Inspector said that it was one of the most solid and well constructed decks he had ever seen. Jim also handed suppliers, managed the return of some extra materials, and just generally made sure that the deck of our dreams was built solid as a rock. We couldn’t be happier, and the results speak for themselves.

One funny anecdote about the project. One day my 16 year old son was helping Jim move some lumber around in our garage. My son accidently dropped a stack of wood, and it landed on our scoop shovel and broke it. It wasn’t a big deal at all, but Jim insisted on replacing the shovel at his expense, even though it was my son who broke it! He said “it was damaged on my job, so it’s my responsibility.” Personally, I don’t really think it was… but that shows you the level of ownership Jim takes on his projects.
