About

My name is Joel and I've been running West Clay Custom Wood out of Carmel for 22 years. I served in the Navy before getting into the trades, and that discipline shows up in our jobsite cleanliness. We use commercial-grade materials on every job, even the small ones. Call me directly any time — that number rings my cell. Demo listing

Some real issues we had to work through. Joel and the crew designed and built a new deck with hidden fasteners and a privacy screen.

Solid work overall, would use again. Joel wainscoted our entryway and dining room beautifully, and the whole crew stuck to the original quote with no surprise add-ons. They also offered three different options at three different price points, which we really appreciated. Would call them again without hesitation.

Best decision we made all year. Joel and they added crown molding through the entire main floor and the miters are perfect, and they left the worksite cleaner than they found it. We've already recommended Joel to two neighbors.

Very happy with the job. Joel and they built us custom bookcases flanking the fireplace that look factory-installed, and they left the worksite cleaner than they found it. Would call them again without hesitation.

Got what we paid for. Joel added crown molding through the entire main floor and the miters are perfect, and the whole crew explained everything in plain English without talking down to us. They also showed up exactly when they said they would, which we really appreciated. We'd probably try them again, but get a couple other quotes first.

Best decision we made all year. Joel and they built a banquette in our breakfast nook with hidden storage.

Best decision we made all year. Joel and they trimmed out three new interior doors with stained oak that matches the originals, and they stuck to the original quote with no surprise add-ons. Will be using them for everything from now on.

Could not ask for better. Joel wainscoted our entryway and dining room beautifully, and the whole crew picked up after themselves every single day. They also had a clearly labeled truck and uniformed crew, which we really appreciated. If you're on the fence, just call them.

Absolutely the best experience we've had with a contractor. Joel and they made custom built-ins for our laundry room.

Just outstanding work from start to finish. Joel and they built a banquette in our breakfast nook with hidden storage, and they wore booties in the house without being asked. If you're on the fence, just call them.

Hands down the easiest home-service decision we've made. Joel built a banquette in our breakfast nook with hidden storage, and the whole crew had a clearly labeled truck and uniformed crew. They also sent us photos of the progress while we were at work, which we really appreciated. If you're on the fence, just call them.

Decent work, mixed feelings. Joel built us custom bookcases flanking the fireplace that look factory-installed, and the whole crew showed up exactly when they said they would. They also stuck to the original quote with no surprise add-ons, which we really appreciated. We'd probably try them again, but get a couple other quotes first.

Not what we expected based on the reviews. Joel trimmed out three new interior doors with stained oak that matches the originals, and the whole crew picked up after themselves every single day. They also left the worksite cleaner than they found it, which we really appreciated. Hopefully our experience was an outlier.

We're customers for life now. Joel and they wainscoted our entryway and dining room beautifully, and they explained everything in plain English without talking down to us. Ten out of ten — this is how it should be.

Couldn't be happier with how this turned out. Joel and they built a pergola over our patio that looks straight out of a magazine.
