    TJ was amazing to work with on our covered deck project! He responded very quickly, provided a detailed estimate, and worked with us to create exactly what we wanted. He welcomed our ideas and executed them beyond our expectations. The finished product is beautiful and showcases the pride TJ has in his profession with precise craftsmanship. We will be repeat customers for any home improvement projects!! See more See less

    TJ is awesome to work with. He shows up when he says he’s going to. And he does great work. One of many projects we hired him for head our kitchen. Everything from tiling the backsplash and floor to installing the cabinets. He has done a ton of other projects for me over the years. And I would recommend him to anyone that needs work done on their house. See more See less

    Have been a customer from the beginning. TJ did major repair work after what could be described as a winter tornado. Windows blown out and more. Timely dedicated work excellent craftsmanship and very fair price. He does work and continues to do work on two family homes. Highly recommend. See more See less

    ve known TJ for several years and everything he’s done for me has been top quality work. His attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is top shelf. The new decks he just completed are better than I could have imagined. Thank you TJ for another great job. Dana Dolabany See more See less

    These are the most professional and thorough carpenters I have ever worked with. The job was re-siding with cedar shake and reinstallation of windows. Superior work. See more See less

    I am super happy with the work Tj and his team did on my house. They re-sided the entire back of the house, replaced two windows and a sliding deck door. TJ was very responsive and easy to work with. He handled the permit, answered my questions and made suggestions while taking the time to hear and honor my preferences. His team was attentive and worked with meticulous craftsmanship. They were on time every day and always cleaned and organized the space when they left. They took pride in their work and it shows in the beautiful finished product. I will definitely call him for my next project. See more See less

    I highly recommend this local small, insured business! We had Tj come over and gut our bathroom in our old house. TJ and his team worked fast, clean and was reasonably priced. They did an awesome job! We will be hiring him again for future projects in our new home. See more See less

    TJ remodeled my 3 bathrooms in 2022 and did a great job. I am very pleased with the results. He was responsive, communicative and finished the job in a timely fashion. TJ is a skilled carpenter who is thorough and works hard. He also replaced a portion of the siding on the front of my home. This job was well done, as well. I would hire him again. See more See less

    TJ was great to work with. He presented me with a couple of options for a recent basement project and explained the pros and cons of each option in detail. The work was started and finished on time, and he worked within my budget. I would highly recommend TJ to friends and family and I honestly can’t say that about many contractors, if any!

    I had to have a door replaced in my apartment. Tj is the best! He showed up when he told us and was done in a timely manner for a reasonable price! I cannot recommend Tj Short and sons enough! See more See less

    I’m extremely happy with the work performed on my deck renovations. TJ Short And Sons treated the workmanship on my deck the same way they would treat crafting a fine piece of furniture. Having a background in carpentry including cabinet making in millwork I admired his workmanship on a daily basis including the work done on what you don’t see, the framing under the deck. They were able to make any changes I threw at them on the fly with ease including installing all the low voltage lighting. They know only one way to do a job. THE RIGHT WAY. See more See less

    I recommend TJ to all my clients at New England Maids and I also have personally used him. He shows up on time, does the job well and never leaves a mess behind which it seems to be the common problem with every contractor we used in the past. All my clients appreciate the recommendation every time! I highly recommend him! See more See less

    TJ did an excellent job for me. I had a major flood from the 2nd floor bathroom into my kitchen which he completely renovated. See more See less

    TJ came highly recommended by neighbors when we hired him to rebuild our deck and lake stairs. (Both were DIY projects by the previous homeowners that were in serious need of replacement after 30 years). TJ came over for an estimate and talked us through both projects, pointing out that the deck was in worse condition and that was the one to tackle first. He went over our design with us and pointed out where we could save some money by doing a different railing design on the sides. He stuck with the project throughout the long permitting and DEP approval process. Once all the permits were in, he and his crew made sure the project went smoothly and he even stayed late on a Friday to finish the railings so the deck would be ready to use for our young nieces and nephews who were coming the next day. He did a great job on our lake stairs too, and was able to use ground anchors that didn't require pouring concrete, minimizing impact to the landscape. The stairs are in an awkward place on the hill making it really hard to access but once again he and his crew made it happen. TJ takes real pride in his work, both from a structural and aesthetic point of view. All those mitered cuts and picture-frame style decking really pays off and the finished product looks amazing. TJ will be my first call the next time we need work done. See more See less
