TIMELESS WOODWORKS

I wanted to fill an awkward space in my rear entry with a built-in cabinet. During one consultation/visit, Greg gave me a bunch of alternatives and advice. A couple days later, he sent a design that was exactly what I wanted. The cabinet was installed the following week, and looks great. From my first email to Greg to finished cabinet was very quick (just under a month).

After soliciting several estimates for building a built in bookshelf for our sitting room, we chose Greg as our contractor. Greg is extremely professional and reliable. He immediately involved us in the design process as part of his estimate and continued to involve us as the design evolved. He has great attention to detail. Greg’s communication via email and phone, as well as in person, was outstanding. The pricing for our custom built in was also very reasonable.

This is now the 4th or 5th time I've hired Greg. He is super professional, kind, his prices are reasonable, he's reliable, and has such attention to detail. I recommend him highly and he has done so much great work for us as well as others I have recommended him to. I couldn't ask for a better resource in Greg. I don't ever bother even contacting anyone else--and I think I love his work so much I've probably done 3-4 times the amount of built-ins in my house than I would have without him.

Greg is a true craftsman and a pleasure to work with. I grew up in a construction family. I have lived and worked in a design/build culture through childhood and through my earlier career experiences in the family business. I know and value a true, professional craftsman when I see one. Greg took our design and vision for a custom cabinet built-in to match our recent remodel. We did not complete this part of the remodeling project with our contractor. I'm so glad I waited. We got to meet and work with Greg on this. Our remodeling contractor did a wonderful job for us, but we didn't have the time/money to dig into this cabinet on that project. I'm glad we waited. We got a cabinet system that truly is designed for the specific purpose we had in mind---to store vinyl records, CDs and books in this little sitting room (re-purposed from our old, larger formal living room that we seldom used). Greg worked with the space we had and our design to give us EXACTLY what we asked for and more. He helped enhance our cabinet system so that it would fit our audio components perfectly and allow concealed cable runs for component power and audio connections. Greg also paid attention to the smallest elements, wood selection, and molding details to match the cabinetry trims in the adjacent rooms. The new cabinet is really a perfect fit with the new (remodeled) home. Even though we have so many new things to appreciate with the remodel---this is my absolute favorite. One of the best parts was the thick, white oak top under the turntable. The top wood was selected and built/stained to match our white-oak flooring. You don't get this kind of design attention and focus on details from an average craftsman. He's exceptional. See the pictures attached to this review. We also hired Greg immediately to build two more smaller built-ins: one for a recessed space in the same music/reading room and one in our master bathroom. He upgraded the mantel for our fireplace as well. Greg works on one project at a time. While it may take longer if you have someone in front of you, this is absolutely the best way to approach it and it is worth the wait. Multi-tasking is a joke. If you don't believe me, try reading 6 books at the same time rather than one at a time. Focus on the task at hand does produce better results and we saw that here.

Greg Beam at Timeless Woodworks worked with us to finalize plans on a custom built Cherry corner cabinet for entertainment center electronics, then completed the build. The entire project went very smoothly and the finished cabinet is beautiful! His attention to detail at every step is impressive. Greg is a great communicator and delivered on every promise. His workmanship is excellent and his approach to the customer is very professional. I would hire Greg for another project without any hesitation.

He is professional, on time, reliable, and produces high quality work. We exchanged over 30 emails and talked live, as well as met in person twice in order to determine our design. The thing I like most about working with Greg is that you can lean into his knowledge and expertise on design --- he thinks about all facets of the project (some of which I had met and wouldn't have considered), to ensure the end-result is of high quality and function.

Greg did an incredible job. From start to finish, we were so impressed with his work. Greg communicated quickly and was always professional. He took our idea and turned it into our dream office.

Beautifully. The shelves and cabinet looks as if it was always there -- a perfect match.

Contacted Greg and we scheduled a time to meet. He came out and I showed him the 2 alcoves and admitted I didn't really have a clear idea of what I wanted in there. Greg was very helpful throughout the process by providing suggestions of how I could do things and making sure everything was exactly the way I wanted it before proceeding. We must've gone back and forth 10 times and every time Greg was more than happy to make any adjustments to the drawings he provided. him taking the time to create those drawings was VERY helpful as I could see exactly what it would look like when finished. When it came to install the pieces were absolutely fantastic. The craftsmanship was very nice and the attention to detail was phenominal. The drawers in the cabinets are soft close so they won't slam, the shelves in the units look very nice and are labeled for best presentation, and there is enough space behind the cabinets to deal with the cables and power supplies from all the electronics. I could't be happier that I went with Greg for this project and I will definitely be contacting him for any other projects I would like done.

Greg was wonderful to work with. I originally had a different design in mind and he had better ideas frankly! We collaborated on the design to come up with something that is just perfect--looks like it has been part of the house all along. Greg was always super professional, on time, provided great insights and drawings. I will definitely hire him again. He is very skilled and I couldn't be happier with the end result.

Wonderful! Greg took a lot of time listening to what we wanted. We sent pictures back and forth. He provided us with models (via email) every step of the way. Greg is extremely detail oriented. A true perfectionist; exactly what we were hoping for.

Very smoothly. Greg made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. His CAD drawings really helped me visualize the piece before it was made. He was always on time and is very skilled in his craft. Will definitely hire him again in the future.

Greg was amazing with our mantel request! He took the time up-front to understand what we wanted, worked with us to make small tweaks and then installed our mantel. A flawless fit! He was very prompt with his communication and follow-through, by far one of the best we have worked with. Couldn't be happier with the end result!

This is the second project that we've had Greg do for us. He is a talented and skilled craftsman. He made suggestions that improved the appearance and functionality of this piece of furniture. He guided us in selecting the cabinet's glass and hardware. He delivered the piece on schedule. The cabinet is a stunning piece of furniture! Greg will be doing other work for us in the future.

My experience was excellent. Greg is a real craftsman--amazing attention to detail, thoroughness, and care. He designed and built a cabinet for our hallway that looks like it has always been there--in a 1924 house--reusing our old trim and integrating the piece so seamlessly. He came up with a creative solution to refashion a behemoth of a TV cabinet, and now it looks sleek and elegant. He rebuilt our desk, kitchen table, and benches in our kitchen, and they have such clean lines, beautiful finish, and attractive design. It's amazing how Greg was able to make these pieces look totally new and at the same time entirely in keeping with the style of our house. Further, he was pleasant, earnest, honest, on time, easy to work with, and accommodating. He went above and beyond in removing some built-ins in our kitchen so that we could have the floors redone and then coming back and reinstalling them for use as soon as the floors were done. He reinforced some structural items that needed it, even though it wasn't part of what we were paying him to do. All in all, he takes pride in his work, is a creative and highly competent craftsman, and I would work with him again in an instant!

I'm really impressed with Greg's craftsmanship. He take takes great pride in his work and has first class customer service. I highly recommend him!

Greg built custom cabinetry and a custom desk return for my home office. It turned out beautiful. Greg was great to work with. He is a perfectionist. Highly recommended!

Excellent work! The process went extremely well. Greg provided me with a plan, discussed timing, finished and installed the mantle without any issues or problems. Would definitely use him again.

My husband began building an infrastructure for a built in closet comprising of 12 drawers and 8 doors. When it came to building and fitting the drawers and doors, he was out of his league. We contacted Greg and he was very prompt when responding. He set up a time to come over and when my husband couldn't let him in because he forgot his house key, Greg happily met and based his estimate on pictures on my husband's phone. He then provided us a great drawing of what it would like done. We happily moved forward and Greg came back to do measuring and get a first look. He started work on drawers/doors a few weeks later and came to install on the third week. He did a great job! The drawers have a soft close, so they don't slam shut. The drawers and doors are constructed really well. We are already thinking of other projects for Greg. We highly recommend his work.

The experience and the results exceeded our expectations. We had a design in mind, Greg came to our home and discussed the details. Greg offered a number of detail design suggestions that we would not have thought of ourselves. The collaboration with Greg was productive and fun. Greg was polite, punctual, and professional. The work progressed faster than we had expected. The cabinet unit is beautiful and as we stated earlier the results exceeded our expectations in every detail. We recommend Greg and will call him first if another project comes up.

We first met with Greg in our home and explained that we wanted more storage in our family room and showed him pictures from houzz.com of what we liked. He then created multiple computer-generated drawings of what the cabinets could look like in the room. After discussing the options, we were able to find the perfect design. Greg gave us many options for the hardware, glass, paint and stain that could be used in the cabinets, which resulted in cabinets that are exacly what we wanted. We also needed a bullnose to go on a step that leads into the room. He recommended adding a walnut inlay to the bullnose, so that the step was tied in with the cabinets (something we had never thought of). The result is outstanding and unifies the room. Greg is a gifted craftsman. He created cabinets that are not only functional, but beautiful as well. He has an eye for detail and made sure we were pleased with every aspect of the project. We hope to have him build more pieces for us in the future.

This experience, from start to finish, was excellent. Greg was honest with the time line...we had to wait a few weeks for the install and build.... and was 'right on' with his install date and time. The craftsmanship is excellent....and well thought out. The design matched our home very well.... We are happy, would recommend Greg to anyone, and plan to use his talent again for an island in our kitchen.

Greg was great to work with. He explained everything in great detail, didn't seem bothered by all my questions at all and really made sure that we were on the same page about what he was going to build before he got started. Greg provides detailed sketches of his work with measurement and will add/change anything you like so that you can really be sure that you're going to get what you want. He's very clear about his schedule and didn't vary from the schedule he communicated at all. I really appreciated how nice he was throughout the process and thought his price was very fair.

He designed, built and installed a floating media cabinet for our 1922 SW Minneapolis home. The cabinet was made from curly cherry that he hand-selected. He showed us a variety of woods and finishes before we landed on the curly cherry. He hand-made all components, including the flush-mounted slab doors and dovetailed drawer. We knew we wanted to hang our tv above the cabinet, so we discussed and planned the back of the cabinet so that the wires could come in. The results is gorgeous and ever-so-functional.

We are very confident in his skills and would recommend him highly if you want quality workmanship. He is reliable, willing to listen to your needs and punctual. He was concerned about cleaning up and maintaining a safe working area.
