Hard Knock Design and Build

Jake is fun to work with! He has some great ideas and listened to what I wanted for our project. Evan and Dave were the crew doing the install and those guys were amazing. Respectful and detail oriented. It took a little longer than estimated (1 day) but the quality of the craftsmanship Evan and Dave provided was well worth the extra time. Before and after photos provided.

Jake has done a number of projects at our house including designing and building out our closets, and designing, building and installing a couple of custom cabinet in our entryway. His work is quick and well done. As the pictures show, we make good use of it all!

A giant oak tree took down part of our custom-built fence. Luckily, Jake and his crew came in quickly to help us rebuild the fence to better than its former state. They were organized and prepared on the first day. They stayed on schedule throughout. And the final fence rebuild was solid and well-constructed. Even better, Jake came back and double-checked that we were happy with the product. Beautiful work! Will hire again for future projects. Thank you.

Jake did an amazing job with our entry way cabinets. From start to finish, he was easy to work with, detail oriented, and really listened to what we wanted. He regularly sent us updates of the progress he was making, including pictures, so I already had high expectations. However, I was still not prepared for how perfect they would actually turn out. It felt surreal to see them for the first time because they matched my vision so perfectly, down to even the smallest details. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone needing custom carpentry and would definitely use him again for future projects.

Jake and Evan and Davey did a fantastic job creating my coffered ceiling. They met the challenges of correcting a somewhat" unlevel" ceiling issue that arose during construction and were able to give us a finished product that we absolutely love. They also kept the work area clean during the project. I’d recommend them to anyone needing a finish carpentry job.

We recently had Jake from Hard Knock Carpentry build custom storage cabinets and a built-in dog crate unit in our mudroom. He was so responsive, friendly, and trustworthy off the bat. At the initial in-home estimate appointment he helped talk us through what exactly we wanted and what would realistically work in our space. Jake communicated thoroughly, gave us continual updates/progress photos, and delivered a product that truly exceeded all our expectations. We (and our 2 small dogs) are so happy with the end result! I will certainly be recommending Hard Knock Carpentry to friends, family, and anyone around Indy looking for carpentry services!

I hired Jake build a custom desk and numerous other things inside a commercial job Im building. His attention to detail and the love of his craft can be easily noticed. His work is flawless and professional. His prices are very good for the quality you are getting. Great personality and was just a pure pleasure to have on site. Jake thank you for all your hard work. Look forward to working with you again! John
