“This Letter is to state our complete satisfaction with the excellent work that Paul van Steensel did on the almost 3000 square foot addition he built for us last year. The addition required complex framing in attaching it to our existing house, unique dormers, and extensive trim detail. Paul was a perfectionist in making sure that everything he did was to our satisfaction.”
