## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I wanted a media unit in my alcove and wasn't able to get anything to fit. Thankfully First Choice Carpentry was able to help build something to fit the awkward space. They were great from suggesting layout to choice of finish etc. I'm really happy with the finish and they were professional throughout, turned up when they said they would and cleaned up afterwards. Will definitely be calling them again for my next mad idea !"

> "Great job hanging our doors. Arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout, and completed the work to a high standard. We’re really happy with the finished result and would definitely recommend."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
