Hi everyone. A little “beef” with the Depot. I saw on their app today that they have dewalt impact drivers on sale. Below the price of $169.00 is a green “banner” that says “buy one, get 2 free” (see pic below). I thought, wow, good deal.
After talking with the guy in the tool department, then customer service, then the store manager about this deal, i was told that i should call the 800 number to the depot. I did that. Spoke to a guy and asked him about this deal. He said that “it’s not in our system” and told me that if i ordered one of these tools, i would only get one, not 3.

Yes, mistakes are made sometimes, but this one seems to be one that should be honored. I don’t know.

I don’t do facebook often, but this one kinda bugged me and thought that “the world” should know.

I shop at the Depot all the time. I am a big fan, but i think they are dropping the ball with this one.

Final thought. I don’t use many dewalt tools. I use mostly Milwaukee and Makita, but this deal was a good one. I guess sometimes things are too good to be true.

I hope everyone is well and staying warm. If i can be of any help with projects around the house, feel free to message me.

Have an awesome day.

Hi Everyone. Times, they are a changing. A new year, things in Washington and around the world, change is happening every day.

With the promise of change in mind, I would like to offer you an opportunity to make some changes of your own, specifically around your homes.

Curtis Custom Carpentry is ready to help you with your changes. Little “honey do” items or remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, or basement…changing a door k**b or fixing some broken drywall… these things are all possible.

I am fully licensed and insured and have many references and pictures to share.

I would love to help you with your projects, big or small. Give me a call or shoot me a text. 717-881-9280.

Let’s make 2025 great and get those projects taken care of.

All the best.

Good morning everyone. 2 FB posts in 2 days. WOW!! I think that’s record for me.

So I was thinkin about something that is relevant to most of us today. Money.

Please follow me here….

The cost of virtually everything has increased dramatically in the recent past. Not gonna go into the “why’s”. I have my own thoughts and feelings about that but the facts are the facts. Stuff is just more expensive today.

How do we deal with this? Well, we typically work more or borrow money or the other option is that we go without.

I don’t know about you, but going without is difficult. It seems, in my household at least where I have a teenage girl and a young man getting ready to graduate college (Thank God) that going without is growing more and more difficult. There is always the “I need….” The kids always “need” clothes or a dress for a dance, or money to goto the movies, or any number of other things.

Getting to my point. Thanks for sticking with me this far.

The reality from a parent’s perspective is that there is a finite amount of money and it is our job to be good stewards of that money. In addition to all of the “I needs” from the kids, our homes get personified and take on an “identity” of their own. I need a new hot water heater. I need new windows. I need new paint or I need a bandaid for the hole in one of my walls.

The final interesting thing is that we as homeowners like change. We enjoy new, clean, more functional spaces. We like when everything is in a good state of repair. It drives us crazy when we open the closet door and it falls of the tracks or when that door trim that has gotten all beaten up by kids and dogs and laundry baskets is just an eyesore.

Here’s my point, I can help you with most of this stuff. If I can’t, I have a network of guys in the trades(plumbers, electricians, painters, plasters, all sorts of guys) that would like to help you and they all do really great work.

The bottom line is this. Yes, things are expensive today, but the maintenance items, the little things don’t have to break the bank. I offer free estimates OR for bigger jobs, I do charge an estimate fee, but you get that back if you use me to do the work. I look at this as just the right way, the fair way to do business.

If you have any of those little annoying projects that have been on your list for a while, give me a call. Let’s get them done. I am not the cheapest in town, but I promise that I won’t quit until you are happy. Again, this is just the right way to do business in my opinion.

If I can be of service, give me a call or shoot a text. 717-881-9380.

Go have an amazing day and have a grateful heart.

Hi everyone. I think it has been long enough for everyone to recover from the drama of the holidays. Now it’s time to get back to business.

Most of my customers know that I do very little marketing. Other than the lettering on my truck, my work is derived from word of mouth. This has served me well and I’m confident that this will continue to be the case. With that said, I would like to put this out there…. If you have home improvement projects that you’ve been thinking about and think that 2024 is the year to get these things going, I would enjoy talking to you about these things. Bigger jobs or small, it doesn’t really matter. Maybe your storm door needs some attention. Maybe you’d like to do a tile backsplash in your kitchen. Maybe you want to remodel the whole kitchen and get back some of the wasted space. Maybe it’s time to convert your basement into that awesome entertainment space for the kids or family get togethers. The list goes on and on.

The point is, I can help you with these things and would enjoy having a conversation about your dreams.

I can be reached via call or text at 717-881-9280.

The final thought is this. Word of mouth advertising rocks. If you personally don’t have any projects at this time, but you know someone that does, you passing my name and number along to them is invaluable to me.

Thank you for your time reading this. Here’s to an awesome 2024. 🙏😊

With winter weather coming, making sure your windows and doors are sealed up tight. Maybe porch posts are starting to look a bit shabby, maybe that trim around your garage door is starting to fall apart…. The list goes on…

I can help with these things.

I do quality work at a fair price.

Feel free to give be a call, Curtis Custom Carpentry - Scott 717-881-9280

Thank you very much. 🙏😊

Latest project is done. The glass surround was just finished up. I’m pleased with how this job turned out.

Happy Holiday season everybody.
Curtis Custom Carpentry is going to finish the 2023 year srtong and is looking to fill up the schedule for the first part of 2024.

I love doing kitchen remodels, entertainment centers, trim stuff (crown, etc), however, smaller projects that might fall more into a “handyman” role are not at all out of the question. In fact I love those little jobs that maybe help to get the “honey do” list done.

Another possibility is to plan some work for after the holidays but use these plans as a gift. Gift certificates can absolutely be written up for you.

The bottom line is this…if you have something that needs to get done, in or around your home, give me a call to discuss it. Most estimates are free. Paid estimates get the estimate fee credited back when the job starts.

I can be reached best via call/text. 717-881-9280. If you call and I wouldn’t be able to take your call, please leave a voicemail I will call you back asap

Have a great night.
