Liam did a great job with our alcove shelving. The job did take a little longer than expected due to our house being Victorian with wonky walls but Liams attention to detail ensured a perfect fit. He kept us fully informed throughout and we are really happy with the result. We will certainly use Liam again in the future.

Liam and McGinleys Carpentry and Construction came to our rescue when our building project took a dramatic turn. We had contracted a builder friend of a friend to undertaker the removal of a structural wall on the basis that they were willing to do it at a low cost however it very soon became apparent how poor a choice this was. It became evident very early on that the builder that we had brought in either did not have the knowledge and/or the skills to complete the job in line with what was required and this was on a piece of the house that was holding up the floor above.

Weve now used the services of McGinleys Carpentry & Construction for 3 separate projects in our home, as the service that they provide has each time been exemplary.
Liam takes the time to talk through our options, with great attention to detail, in order to understand exactly what were hoping to achieve and to ensure we understand the work (and costs) that will be involved. The finished result has each time been beyond our expectations, so we couldnt recommend them highly enough.

Liam recently completed the fitting of two double glazed doors and a double glazed utility door. From competitive quote to job completion Liam was professional, courteous and friendly. He turned up on time each day and the finished job was completed to a high standard, leaving the job clean & tidy.
Liam unexpectedly disposed of the old wooden doors which was not quoted for but done at no extra cost to myself. I would certainly recommend Liam and use his services again.
