It went perfect! This project was extensive, so took several months as there was either remodeling or updating needed in every room of the house; and Craig was there every step of the way. He and his team are masters at “high-end” finished wood working, and they also will bring with them a lot of great restoration ideas. Craig's (and his team) attention to detail is unsurpassed and his customer service is genuine. Look no further if you're looking for real craftsmanship. Also, I've seen a few of their other projects, again, it's high-end. Look no further for home remodeling or updating, you've found total competence, the best there is.
Description of Work: Craig and his talented team helped me completely restore a grand 3,200 sq. ft. two story, 4-bedroom, 3-bath, a very run-down home build in 1930s, in West University, Texas.

Exceeded expectations. Job supervisor and his crew were perfectionists. Everyone appeared daily as needed; cleaned up the work site; considerate of homeowners having to live through the remodel. Kitchen remodel led to additional work in the house - supervised installation of new windows; new floor tile in master bath; new entrance into the kitchen/dining; expanded archway in the den. All of the subcontractors Wood Essence used were top quality and I couldn't be happier with the results. Craig created a team which was a joy to work with.
