Mr. & Mrs. Bob Hodgdon's Testimonial:
2/14/13
The kitchen remodeling project in our home is a reflection of your skill and determination and understanding of our needs. The "new kitchen" is beautiful and very functional. It was a pleasure to have you work in our home.
Sincerely,
Ellie & Bob Hodgdon Higgins Beach Scarborough, ME
Connie Sandini 3/20/12 I am so pleased with the work of Crossworks Carpentry! Mike's attention to detail, professionalism, skills, & friendly nature were greatly appreciated. My renovation came out just the way I wanted. I would strongly recommend Crossworks for any home renovation project.
Sincerely, Connie Sandini
Erica Bartlett 12/4/11 "I'd been thinking about some projects in my house for quite a while, but I wasn't sure who I could get to do it. I finally asked around for some recommendations and got the names of a few people, and after meeting everyone, I decided to go with Mike and Crossworks Carpentry. I'm so glad I did! Mike and those who worked with him were professional, courteous, and attentive to detail, doing everything they could to meet my needs and expectations, and doing so at a very reasonable price. This included accommodating me changing my mind partway through about how I wanted to handle a bathroom fan, and making sure that I was informed about the progress every step of the way. I also appreciated the flexibility of contact by phone or e-mail, since I'm sometimes on the phone a lot for work and e-mail is often a better way to reach me. And even though I was away while most of the work was being done, I felt perfectly comfortable letting them proceed, and it was wonderful to come home to a new floor and a new interior door! I wish I had done it sooner, but I'm glad that I finally did, and that I went with Crossworks Carpentry. I couldn't have asked for anyone better."

Lisa Marshall 12/14/10 We asked Mike to help us make some long-desired changes and repairs. He listened to what we wanted and made careful suggestions that gave us a result exceeding our expectations. We had some surprises, which Mike handled smoothly, and if I changed my mind about something, which I did on a few occasions, he agreeably shifted gears. More than once my family commented on Mike's crew -- Ben, Jesse, Robert, and Mark and their helpers -- what a nice group of guys to have in our home, and their work is great too! We felt we got a great result at a fair price. As new projects come up I will be returning to Mike in the future.
Theresa Power 3/15/10 Mike did an outstanding job
with my recent bathroom remodel project. I was especially impressed
with his attention to detail and high level of customer service. As he
encountered issues with the work- he was able to discuss options with me
& bring in other professionals as required. Even with the issues
encountered- he met my aggressive time-line and still finished the work
under budget! I am absolutely thrilled with the result and intend to
use Mike and his recommended subcontractors Jesse (drywall) and Mark
(plumbing) for all of my future projects.
Jim and Kelly Rivoli (Portland) 10/18/09 Kelly and I would like to thank you for the wonderful job you did for us in our bath project redo. Also the entire condo association would also like to extend out thanks for the back door replacement. Your work is always well done and completed in a timely manner.
Kevin and Ginny Dagnese (Portland) 2/10/09 Dear Mike,
Ginny and I would like to thank you
for the kitchen rehab that you did at our home. It is now a part of
our home that we can be comfortable in and take great pride in. The
workmanship is wonderful, You have a great gift from God and should
be proud of it. Thank you again!
In His service,
Kevin and Ginny
Greg & Susan Schueneman (Scarborough) 9/29/08 Dear Mike, We are very pleased with the new doors and the inside doors that now close properly. We'll be calling you in the spring for another project. We will also be recommending you to friends & family. Sincerely
Greg & Susan Schueneman
Nate & Rachel Frederick (Windham) 9/18/08
Mike,
I just wanted to drop
a note to express my appreciation for my new deck and front doors.
Your work is impeccable and after doing so many "do it myself jobs",
it was amazing to see how quality work makes such a difference. It
is something that truly has added value to my home.
You have been great to
work with and I look forward to working with you again in the
future. I will be sure to refer any friends and family your way.
Thanks again Mike.
Allan and Florence Braff (Cape Elizabeth) 5/27/08 Mike Gervais exceeded our expectations! His pride of workmanship and concern that everything was done to our complete satisfaction were exemplary. I hope he is not busy to help us with future jobs.
Edward Godin (Windham) 5/19/08 Last spring I was thinking about
replacing 14 single pane windows in my home with an energy efficient
model. I figured I could replace one window a weekend, because the
windows would have to be removed, the frame altered and the new
window installed and trimmed. I envisioned 14 summer weekends tied
up doing this and my enthusiasm waned.
As luck would have it, I was talking
with a neighbor who was having a large project done at her home and
part of the project was window replacement. She recommended her
contractor, Mike Gervais, citing his integrity, attention to detail
and cost consciousness.
I called Mike and scheduled a time to
discuss our project. Mike asked many questions, offered several good
suggestions and left to work up a proposal. Long story short, Mike
completed the project on time for $200 less than agreed upon. The
work was extremely well done with little disruption to the house.
His work was cleaned up at the end of each session,
I will certainly use Mike for any
up-coming project that I have and recommend that you give him a
chance as well.
Greater Portland Church of Christ (So. Portland) 5/5/08 Mike: On behalf of the Greater Portland
Church of Christ, I want to thank you again for the great job of
installing new windows in our church building. They are a terrific
improvement, and the workmanship was excellent. We are all most
pleased.

Mike & Carol Colton (Portland) 10/20/07 Mike completed an addition to our
house recently and we are extremely pleased with the
results. His timeliness, attention to detail, concern for
our comfort level throughout the project, and excellent
workmanship resulted in a beautiful room and deck that we
couldn't be happier with. Mike provided us with a schedule
of construction and stuck to it almost to the minute. If
something came up to throw it off, he let us know ahead of
time and found ways to work around the delays. It was a
real pleasure to work with such an honest, conscientious,
and affable person. He showed concern every step of the way
for what would be best for us and the project; and did a
wonderful job of making the new construction fit well with
the existing house. We have great respect for Mike
and highly recommend him.

Mike, we wanted to thank
you for the work you did. You took pride in doing it right, and
it shows. We've already gotten compliments on the room, along
with some inquiries. We've been able to tell people that you're
a delight to work with: honest, kind, thoughtful, positive,
and scrupulous. The dogs miss you!
Love the photos. Many many
thanks.

Jen O'Connor (Portland) 5/10/07 I went with Mike for my project because I was so impressed with his work on my neighbors' the Daigle's
home. He was great to work with and
offered several ideas and options
with regards to the design of the
room. Mike worked diligently and
stayed on schedule and the project
was completed in a timely
manner. I am incredibly happy with my new
room and I have received several
compliments from friends and neighbors.
Sincerely
Jen O'Connor
Cynthia & John O'Hanlon (Portland) 5/2/07
Dear Mike,
We wanted to write you
a quick note to thank you for your outstanding work. When
we took on our restoration project we had no idea the
difficulties that we would encounter. After being raked
through the coals by a contractor who did poor quality work,
charged for work that was not done and continuously missed
deadlines, we were referred to you and instantly the project
started to take shape.
Your work was of
outstanding quality. It was ALWAYS done in a timely fashion
and we found you to operate with the highest ethical
standards. Needless to say, we wish that we had found you
earlier and assure you will always be our first call when we
are in need of any carpentry or construction services.
Thanks for everything.
Cynthia & John O'Hanlon

I am an out of state landlord and I can’t tell you how happy I’ve been with Mike’s dedication and follow through. I recently had a water leak that required repairs to the toilet, bathroom wall and floor, living room ceiling and lighting. Mike did most of the work himself and what required a specialist he arranged to have the work done. It was an emergency situation and he responded as such. He is honest and fair and is a perfectionist when it comes to the final product. I would highly recommend him and plan on using him often in the future.

The
skylight looks great!! I tested it out and was and attention to detail! (not qualities I've been able to find in abundance among the sub's I've hired up in Eustis, so I'm particularly appreciative!) Even to the point of an immaculate clean-up?! Thanks again, Mike! It's such a
delight to work with such a professional!

“We have a rental home that had several doors damaged by tenants and hanging doors is not our forte. We were given Mike’s name through a friend and we were so happy to have found his company. Mike promptly assessed the situation and put together a detailed proposal for us that itemized the cost and scope of work. Mike turned the job around very quickly so we didn’t have any downtime in renting the unit. We are EXTREMELY happy with the final results of the new doors! I will definitely use CrossWorks Carpentry again and I have already recommended Mike Gervais to friends in need of an honest and skilled carpenter.” -Katherine Caprio
Elise Scala DeWaters (Scarborough) 7/13/06
As a seasonal cottage
owner it is very challenging to get jobs done Elise
Rick Marble (N.Yarmouth) 7/7/06 CrossWorks quote was more than 10% higher than the lowest bidder, but we ended up choosing CrossWorks anyway. Mike put a lot of thought into our quote and anticipated many of the issues that the other contractors hadn't addressed. His quote also included low maintenance trim that adds to the finished look of the deck. Mike has been working steadily, as the weather permits, and has been making good progress. We've been very happy with the quality of work and will be recommending CrossWorks to our family and friends. Thank you Rick Marble
Bob & Maggie Daigle (Portland) 2/13/06 In mid-2005 Maggie and I decided to build a kitchen / family room addition to our home in Portland. We requested several bids from local contractors. From this we had the opportunity to meet Mike and Craig. From the very start it was clear that they were both capable and professional. They promptly delivered a well thought out bid that was competitively priced. The project was sizeable, and had some interesting complexities. Throughout the project they stuck to their word – and delivered a new structure (added to our existing 50 year old house), that was completed on time and at a quality / detail level that was above our expectations. Several times during the project we had changes that were the product of Maggie and I seeing a “new possibility”. In every instance, we presented the idea and were able to work with Mike and Craig to incorporate the resulting changes in design, project scope and timeframe – with Mike and Craig always open and adding insight into the new concept. Today we have an addition to our home that we are quite proud of. We give our strongest recommendation to the individuals. They are highly capable, professional, and honest – people we consider to be good friends – quite a statement at the end of a construction project. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss our experience of working with Mike & Craig. Bob and Maggie Daigle, 77 Wellington Road, Portland Maine 775-0880
