I hired Ken for building a bookshelf around my fireplace and I just had a picture of what I wanted and Ken was able to build with such detail and it came out amazing. Ken knows wood work very well and you can tell by his work. He is definitely someone I would hire if I need anything else built in my home.

Ken created a built in entertainment center for our family room and we love how it turned out. Ken was very responsive, honest and direct, and reasonably priced. He also created some very sturdy wood storage shelving for our basement and we love it. He was also very receptive to feedback that we provided to him regarding make some small revisions with our entertainment center. I would highly recommend Ken.

We have hired Ken multiple times in the last few weeks to help with various jobs while remodelling our condo and his diverse skill set has never disappointed. He is detail oriented, skilled, experienced and delivers quality craftsmanship at an affordable price. Highly recommend working with Ken for all kinds of carpentry and handyman needs!

We had 1 cabinet that needed to have some crown moulding installed. We moved the cabinet to make a pantry. The old crown moulding no longer worked with the new cabinet placement. Additionally I was unable to match the trim at any local big box store. Ken was able to order the custom trim and install it. He even fixed up other trim on cabinets that were loose. Ken did an outstanding job. Next time I need trim work, Ill call Ken.

Ken did a lovely job with our built-in shaker-style bookshelves/cabinets. He spent the time to listen to our wishes and created exactly what we were looking for. He also recommended a few tweaks to make the built-in more timeless and appealing to others. His pricing was on par with the research we did, neither better nor worse. If you have doubts about his ability when you speak with him, ask to see his photographs, his work is very precise and diverse.

I was very satisfied working with Ken and the results of the job. Ken built a 13' wide system of wood shelves behind a wall with doors. His work with the wood was meticulous and very tasteful. He was pleasant to work with and obviously was very attentive to what he was doing. There were some finishing details that needed a bit more attention but he resolved everything until he completed the work. His fee was fair and I'm glad that I chose someone independent instead of a large firm.

I really liked Ken letting me help (and checking first to see if that's what I wanted to do) with the project. He has great cabinetry skills and takes to heart the principle of "measure twice, cut once." He arrived a bit late on both scheduled visits, but he adjusted the final pricing to make up for that, so all was good! I would definitely hire him again.

Ken was VERY good. He created a custom bar for my basement/man cave, and executed delivery and installation in less than 2 weeks. His commitment to my satisfaction did not waiver, and his craftsmenship was the center of attention at a Superbowl party that we hosted for over 40 family members and close friends. I highly recommend this independent owner and operator!

Kenneth was very nice and customer oriented on the phone. I referred him to my client who needed crown molding installed on his cabinets. My client called Kenneth and was impressed with him over the phone. That is where the good service stops. When my client called Kenneth, he told him about his crown molding job and some other wood working jobs that he needed done. Kenneth showed up to the job without any tools to complete the job and then started to root through my clients tools without asking. He also complained about the quality of my clients tools. The job took so much longer than it should have and he wanted to overcharge.

If you give him exactly what you want to design, he can follow it!
