Services we offer

My shop produces a variety of custom woodworking creations--Heirloom quality furniture, cabinetry for kitchens, libraries and bookcases, elegant doors, architectural woodwork, and the occasional whimsical item just for the pleasure of woodworking. But from a business standpoint as a custom maker, just as important as the products made is the manner in which we make them, by attending to our customer's goals. Every other aspect of the business ultimately serves this end.

Description of Work: Fred did a project for our entryway that included a solid cherry built-in bench with tall back, corner shelf, chair rail, and plybead wainscoting. It's really beautiful and we couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of his work. We highly recommend him.

Response from Hean Cabinetry
Thank you for the positive review [member name removed]. I know it was a while ago, but not 1970. 2005?

Fred Hean completed a project for us that had three esentially different aspects: He added some cabinets in our kitchen which required matching the existing cabinets in detail; he built in some bookshelves, cabinets and a desk in a bedroom that we converted to a library; and he built us a new piece of (discontinued) dining room furniture to match two existing pieces. This work required a great deal of skill, especially the part where it was important to match existing work. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome and have often spoken of how lucky we were to find someone who could carry this off. During the planning phase and throughout the project, Fred listened very carefully to us and made certain that the work would be done to our satisfaction. He worked steadily on the project but emphasized quality over speed. I do not imagine that there are very many craftsmen that could have come up to the standard that he set and I'm quite certain that no one could have done better. If you value top quality work you cannot go wrong by consulting Fred about your cabinetry or furniture needs.
Description of Work: Added kitchen cabinets to match the existing units, built in shelves, cabinets and a desk for a library and made a custom piece of dining room furniture to match existing pieces.

Hean Cabinetry came in and solved the problem. He did the work for a great price, in a great amount of time, and he did it right. Fred at Hean Cabinetry knows his trade very well, he shows up when he said he is going to show up, and he does what he says he is going to do. He was so good and so professional I have called him afterward for consultation about my project.
Description of Work: Fred at Hean Cabinetry altered to fit some cabinet doors that I ordered for a kitchen remodel.

Fred Hean was awesome to work with. He measured at least 8-9 times, so’ very meticulous. I got what I paid for. I wanted to have something done but he explained to me why it wouldn’t be a good idea, so that shows great ethic. His work is beautiful and I’d highly recommend him to others. Everything that he’s built still works great.
Description of Work: I had custom-built cabinetry done. He completed two dining room installations (a display area & a china cabinet). He completed all of my shelves in the library including trim work (15’ tall area) and a custom design around the windows! He built in a bench, shelves, hooks, etc in the mudroom and fixed all the trim. He also built a coffee station in the kitchen.

He did an excellent job. The price was fair for the quality of the work done. I have nothing but good things to say about him and I would recommend him highly!
Description of Work: A few years ago, we had a space that could barely hold anything. He fit a cabinet into the space so a television would be able to fit.

It's been a great experience overall! Fred is an amazing carpenter. He’s bright, honest, careful, and very efficient. Even though he charges quite a bit per hour, he does great work. He communicates very well and keeps you updated on the project.
Description of Work: He’s done lots of carpentry work for me, which included window work. He’s also done kitchen cabinets.

I chose Fred Hean because I had seen some of his built-in cabinetry at a friends house, and the work was clearly of high quality. I first emailed my design sketches to Fred to look over and we then met in person. His feedback on my design showed that he had thoughtfully considered the design and identified a few potential problem areas that I had overlooked. This feedback was one of the things that particularly impressed me about Fred Hean because it spoke volumes about his experience as a carpenter, anticipating problems before they could occur. The design was adjusted to avoid these potential problems, and we agreed to work on an hourly basis (Fred gave me the option of a flat price or an hourly rate). I received the finished mountings within the time-frame that we had agreed upon. The finished mountings were precisely made, worked exactly as I had hoped, and had a wonderful even finish that I was proud to hang in a public art gallery.
Description of Work: I needed some custom-made wooden mountings to support two stone carvings that were going to be on display at the McGuffey Gallery. Since these would be in the public eye I wanted a very polished presentation to support my artwork. The wooden mountings were to be either hung from a picture rail or screwed to the wall (adaptable). My stone carvings, which were reliefs and relatively flat, sat on a shelf on the wooden mounting. A wooden dowel also projected upward from the shelf into a hole in the stone to prevent the stone from falling off the shelf. I had already designed the wooden mountings, but needed a skilled carpenter to make them, and also critique my design ideas.
