Boris conducts himself in a very professional manner and is extremely reliable. We're very satisfied.
Boris has made some beautiful pieces of custom built furniture for us over the years. One of our favorites is the a custom built bookshelf for each of our kids. He worked with us on the design and created two pieces that our kids love and can grow with.

Boris did a thorough and timely work, for a very reasonable fee. He re-attached the original falling out front railing from the dust panel and replaced all the missing pine back stops with hand made cherry back stops. He secured the knobs, and adjusted and/or replaced runners. He sanded and waxed the sides of the drawers, as well as the side rails and front ones. Boris also indicated the order of the drawers by a slight pencil mark on the side. The work was thorough and meticulous. After dealing with a broken dresser for months, we were so happy to find an excellent craftsman who was able to do the repairs within less than two weeks. He also showed us how to wax the drawers (once a year) and provided us with some extra wax. The mirror for the medecine cabinet needed some fasteners in the back, yet finding someone to help with it was a challenge. We are very happy to have our vintage dresser back and functioning and our médecine cabinet mirror fixed. Communication was also very easy, with Boris informing us of the progresses, paying attention to detail and even consulting us about the type of fasteners to be placed in the back of the mirror.

Furniture repair
Description of Work: I purchased a marble top table with a pedestal base from a retailer that broke shortly after purchase. I was unable to return the table and still liked the aesthetic so I contacted Boris to help repair the broken base. He was very responsive and honest. He was able to quickly identify the issue and came up with a solution to repair the base and add structural integrity to help ensure the same issue did not occur again. The solution was logical, inexpensive and maintained the aesthetic of the table. He did it quickly, and honestly charged much less than he could have. When he returned with the repaired table base, we needed assistance to lift and secure the marble table top back onto the base so he brought his daughter to assist. I highly recommend Boris for custom woodwork- he’s professional and very knowledgeable!

Custom furniture
Description of Work: We needed an unusual piece of furniture to serve as a nightstand, dresser, and bookshelf all in one unit. We were unable to find any off-the-floor item that would be suitable. Boris was recommended to us. We explained what we wanted and he developed a design that exactly matched what we were looking for. He built, delivered, and set up the unit. It was, indeed, just right. The materials and workmanship were both excellent. We have been using it for a few years and it still looks and functions as it did the day it was installed. Boris does exceptional work at a fair price - we recommend him unreservedly. He is able to do handyman work and construction as well

Sparks Co. was absolutely terrific. Boris, the proprietor, was professional, responsive, and courteous. He was easy and flexible to schedule, He made a trip to my home to diagnose the problem and returned for the repair when the parts arrived. He fixed my chair that the furniture company (Jordans) said could not be repaired. He is very good at what he does. Boris was able to diagnose and fix the problem. He was also meticulous - taking great care to respect the environment in my home. He changed his footwear to inside shoes when he entered my home. He used drop clothes, towells, and gloves to keep my home clean. He wore a mask at all times. Boris was incredibly flexible with timing and was able to come to my home at times that were convenient to me., I will definitely use his services again for general construction work around my home and I strongly recommend him for work in your home.

Boris Supin, executed an exemptional job, when building book cases. Boris was clear and concise, organized and reliable. Boris stuck to the budget as well as the limited timeframe, the bookcases met my expectations due to Boris' attention to details and the pride he takes on his work. I would not hesitate to use Boris again, or to refer him to others wishing some work done.

We entrusted Boris with three cherished items: an heirloom side table, a cherry wood coffee table that we ourselves made, and an ornate mirror that we had purchased abroad. Each of these items was in need of substantial finishing before occupying central locations in our home. We are repeat customers of Boris because Boris takes pride in his work, approaches projects with the patience required, charges a fair rate, and is a pleasure to interact with. Of note, Boris was literally trained and practiced as a general surgeon. For projects that we want to be sure are done right, we have been so happy with Boris' level of craftsmanship.

The furniture and frames that Boris has built for our family over the past 14 years are, without question, the most used and beloved pieces in our home. His quality of craftmanship, attention to detail and the care taken to ensure each piece is perfect has no comparison in my opinion. He's built various pieces such as an intricate, custom frame for an extremely large focal-point mirror for our dining room, which gets compliments from every visitor to our home. Another notable project was a large custom shelving unit that had multiple mobility requirements so that it could be deconstructed and reconstructed to enable us to more easily decorate for the holidays. The shelving unit has served our family every day for the past 11 years. It's extremely sturdy and has withstood the impact of three rambunctious children without fail all while remaining a gorgeous and functional enhancement to our family room. I whole-heartedly endorse Boris' work and hope that you'll give him a chance to create your next heirloom-quality piece. You won't be disappointed and, it's quite likely that you'll create a project list of ideas and ways that he can enhance your home - that's what we did!

We are happy to provide this letter of recommendation for Boris Supin, Spark Co. We have a longtime customer relationship with Boris and always relied on his expertise from designing and building furniture to more creative artistic woodwork using delicate exotic wood. He always did his best to help us in challenging projects, while staying on budget and on time. Boris conducts himself in a very professional manner and is extremely reliable. All projects were completed to our satisfaction. This includes custom made base- and wall cabinets, display stands for art pieces, restoration/fixing of existing furniture. We would highly recommend Boris Supin to anyone considering custom made woodwork and will certainly use him again for our future projects. Olga and Luis

Beyond fabulous! Boris is a master craftsman with any kind of wood. He has built a desk and bookcases for me. He has repaired the UNrepairABLE --- and one would never know that the furniture piece ever had been damaged. The only complaint I have about Boris is that he undercharges. My husband and I both have argued with Boris to accept more than he had charged us. Boris is a gem; anyone is fortunate to have him accept your job. And, P.S.: I am not related to Boris; just grateful to be one of his customers!

Boris is an incredibly talented craftsman who builds one-of-a-kind furniture to your specifications. The projects Boris has done for me have consistently exceeded my expectations in their appearance and quality. If you have a piece in mind—whether building something new or repairing an existing one—bring your idea to Boris and he will work with you to make it a reality—all at a very reasonable price.
Thank you for the warm review. I am looking forward to help you with any furniture projects in the future.

Boris was amazing! I have long wanted a custom book shelf unit for a walkway between my bedroom and bathroom. I contacted Boris with my rough ideas, and he designed and built an 80 x 60 three section cherry bookshelf for the space. He kept me informed of progress throughout and even shared photos of his work. He came to our house and installed it for us as well. It is exactly what I wanted and every time I see it, I smile!! Thanks, Boris!

thank you for the great review. Very happy to hear that you love the outcome of the "tricky table project". This table will last for decades for your enjoyment. Looking forward to providing any help in the future. By the way, for some reason, you've posted in the "delivery" category instead of "custom furniture".
