Cole not only has great carpentry skills but is incredibly insightful…
“I have known Cole for many years. I first employed him as a carpenter at Pok-O-MacCready Camps and was so impressed with his work that when he returned to the North Country I hired him to do renovations on my own historic home in Essex. Cole not only has great carpentry skills but is incredibly insightful with regard to planning, aesthetics, budgets and the overall impact a project will have on those living in and among it.”
