Contractors' Millwork Inc

If you want to avoid problems, stay away from these men.

I have been doing similar, but not the same work as them for 40 years, and have worked along with many contractors. Steve and Alden recently did very complex work on a very old building in rough shape where I was doing other work full time for 5 months. EVERY thing they... touched was done TOO PERFECTION, on time, and they went way beyond what was asked. Notice that the negative reports all use the same words. (One illiterate competitor wrote all?) I also know the owner of a large building who had them restore a large quantity of windows, then claimed they charged him double (he said he thought the quoted price per sash was the price per window -no experienced building owner would confuse that) This complaining customer has moved from state to state to escape creditors, and has a long history of ripping off contractors, then leaving when the lawsuits catch up. Think about who is doing the criticizing, and their reasons before you believe them. Steve and Alden are experts, and 2 very decent honest people. I know many of their repeat customers, and have never heard a bad word from any of them. Read More

Looks like quite a series of fake reports from a slacker "competitor" He's probably too drunk or lazy to work hard and earn his own good reputation. If he truly had professional issues with the work of Contractor's Millwork he would seek the help of BBB or another legi...timate agent. We've done a lot of work with Contractor's Millwork and they do superior quality work and seem to have quite a few repeat clients (that means a lot).Incidentally, Wiki says the average hourly rate for a run of the mill carpenter is $65/hr..... I think i'd hide my valuables from the $15-$20 dollar guy. Read More

Caroga Lake, Ocean Grove NJ, Lacona NY- Why would anyone care if someone 300 miles away who may be a fake report, a friend of the Withams, report a five star on these two men Alden the father or Steve his son. Since I have known of them, they are junk, salvage men. Look...ing for older wood or anything they can take for "free" and re-use or sell. There are reports that they are very very high priced, hard to work with, they have tempers, known to not finish a job, leaving you with work un-done. They may not be the best men around to consider for any project whatsoever because of the reputation they have. Read More

ALDEN / STEPHEN WITHAM CONTRACTORS MILLWORK THESE TWO MEN MAY CHARGE EXCESSIVE FEES FOR DOING WORK THAT ANY EXPERIENCED CARPENTER CAN DO FOR $15-20 DOLLARS AN HOUR-WHILE THESE GUYS CHARGE BIG BIG HOURLY FEES THEY ARE A RIP OFF, I HAVE HEARD RUMORS THAT THEY DON'T FINISH... JOBS, RIP OFF ELDERLY, AND TRY TO REPRESENT THEMSELVES AS "USING ANTIQUE EQUIPMENT TO MAKE WOOD-WORK. WHO CARES IF AN ANTIQUE MACHINE MILLED A BOARD USED IN RESTORING A HOUSE? MOST HOME OWNERS ARE LOOKING FOR HONEST, REPUTABLE CONTRACTORS WHICH THESE TWO GUYS ARE NOT. TRY LOOKING FOR AMISH WOODWORKERS THEY ARE HARD WORKERS AND HONEST. I DONT CARE HOW MANY ADS THESE MEN WRITE UP ABOUT THEMSELVES OR HAVE FRIENDS DO SO, ANYONE WHO GETS BAD REPORTS ARE SUSPECT OF "RIP OFF ARTISTS" NOW THESE JERKS ARE INTO THE FOAM INSULATION BUSINESS, WHAT A JOKE! Watch your back- If anyone is posting negative information on Contractors Millwork Alden and Steve Witham it is a WARNING TO ANYONE who is crazy enough to even consider these men when there are so many A rated contractors around. The Withams themselves may be posting the Positive information or haveing friends do it. Watch your Money and your research on these guy's- they are bad Read More

Contractors' Millwork was highly recommended to us by a neighbor. We hired them do extensive restoration work on our older home which was in terrible condition. Thanks to their careful work and attention to detail we now have a beautiful home which will hopefully be around for another 100 years.
