"Mr. Martin Smith is an impressively talented artisan who heads the company named Martin Smith Carpentry that is currently located in Guilford, Connecticut. I have known him for about 20 years. During that time, he has completed several renovations on my home. His work has consistently been of the highest order in its aesthetic design, its craftsmanship, and its concentrated attention to detail. He has been thoughtful in his approach to the work, finding time to discuss the work plans before implementation, and to review finished work with due consideration of my personal satisfaction. In his dealings with me, I have found his business practices to be rooted in fairness and in his thorough grasp of the ethics underlying his profession. I have recommended him to others on several occasions for building projects that he deemed within his range of skill and expertise. I would do so again without the slightest hesitation."

"This is a letter of referral for Martin Smith of Guilford, Connecticut. Martin has worked for me as a carpenter and general contractor for twenty-five years. This included work on renovating my house on Edgehill Road in New Haven in 1991; various projects at my offices on Temple Street in New Haven in the 1990s; serving as general contractor for the extensive renovation of my current home on St. Ronan Street in New Haven in 2005-2006; and the complete renovation of my offices on Temple Street in 2009. In addition, Martin has done numerous smaller projects for me at these locations and my warehouse in Hamden. In the quarter century we have worked with each other, Martin has always done superb work for me. This applies not only to his work as a craftsman, but also to his skill in managing a large and complex project with numerous subcontractors and extensive detailed finish work. I also know a number of other people with whom Martin has worked, and believe they were as satisfied as I with the quality of his work, his commitment to doing a job well, and the care and attention to detail he brought to the task. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone as a contractor and as a skilled craftsman.
I would be happy to speak to anyone about this recommendation."
