George took my rough sketches and rough requirements and translated them into a beautiful, right-sized, clear wood, smooth acrylic coated, custom-installed, white maple, furniture piece that converted this room into a bedroom with closet and cabinet spaces. Couldn't be more pleased. Fast worker with exquisite attention to cabinetry detailing. The final product looks like it belonged there all along. Price was outstandingly reasonable, especially given the high quality of his work. I wouldn't hesitate to use George again (and again) and have used him since for larger projects for which he brought in additional, very highly trained, high quality support with identical low labor fees.

Used highest grade, knot-free, maple-board-trimmed, 3/4"maple plywood for wardrobe, cabinets and shelving. Sleek, modern, custom baseboard and crown molding used.

Very professional job with strong framing and very high quality finish details. All decking nail holes were predrilled and in perfectly straight lines. Labor rates were very, very reasonable. No mark ups were added to any materials. All work done to building codes and approved by building inspector. Works hard and long hours. George is proud of the work he does and it shows throughout. I would never hesitate to use George again or to recommend him to friends and others for any type of building, masonry and/or renovation project whether small or large or in any season. You can't tell where the renovated parts interface with the existing parts. He can also bring onboard very highly skilled and reasonably priced labor and/or contractors for bigger jobs.
