"Andy built a coffee bar for us. It looks fantastic and was built from scratch with quality wood and hardware. This piece is much better than anything we could have purchased from a store for the same price. It is beautifully stained and the top is treated so that it can be cleaned easily if anything is spilled on it. Andy took the time to make sure everything was done right and to make sure that we would be happy with the finished project. Communication was great. It is obvious that Andy takes pride in what he builds. We would definitely recommend Tipton Millworks."

William Payne is focused on quality contracting and on providing the best service to every one. I am a Member of Pickens county Builders association and have a Business LLC in Cherokee county ,permit, remodeling, and I run into a lot of so call tire kickers and don't think every one know /W/C, General liability, auto insurance for coming in and out of subdivisions, plus lot of years infield training, have and will do most all phases of remodeling from A to Z we support fix up paint up clean up/can we be of help
"We started on May the first and completed this weekend 6/28/00. We did have a delay of a couple of weeks because of the double hung double windows 60" x 72" windows. Also we originally were just going to do the 12x15 screened in porch and leave the 10x12 deck that was attached alone. By the end of it we had enclosed the entire 12x25 of porch and deck opened up the wall in 3 spots two to allow walking through and one that we are putting shelves in to give light to the existing living room. The bottom line it took a bit longer then expected and sometimes we were wanting things to go faster then the builder could get done, but bottom line it was done well and when complete, was better then expected. We did some of the contracting for our floors but I know our builder would have done it as well we just wanted a bit more control. William is a bit of a character just a good old boy from here in the south. Don't let that put you off he does a good job and was very fare in his price and after our experience with the last builder we had a refreshing change. I would recommend him to do any remodeling work that you have."

"PLEASE READ: Mark was great to work with in the beginning. After I did calculations for some items, Mark became angry and stopped communicating. Before construction could continue, I needed to get an electrician out because there was a real issue. Mark insisted there wasn't. After I insisted and called him out on his lack of communication, he said he was sending over his electrician the next morning. I cancelled plans and stayed home to wait on electrician. I never heard from Mark and he did not respond to texts. I called and he said there was nothing wrong and a new switch was installed. I called an electrician. There was an issue and the new switch was not installed. We also agreed that I would pay for flooring materials on main floor(lvp and underlayment) and Mark would demo and level kitchen and provide transition and baseboard. The floor is sloped in an area and there is a random square board and cuts in wood in more than one area. Mark used my old cheap laminate as a transition board on the stairs. This is not a joke or exaggeration. In addition, Mark did not use the underlayment that I purchased at his recommendation. Mark’s company cut and painted flooring on my gray stained covered porch without putting anything down. I have this on blink video occurring all day. There was paint and dust all over the porch. Mark does not apologize ever. The area had sharp small nails on stairs that were not even worked on. Mark said my request to correct this is ridiculous and said he would not repair slope. I’ve given him every opportunity to repair. I asked for an additional contract so we could let the contract guide us instead. Mark refused to add repairing of slope area and ignores me about underlayment. I asked him not to continue work or send his guys back for other work(He is doing insurance work on bottom floor.) Mark sent his guys twice after this and they just came into the house. I sent them home on Labor Day and texted Mark that I explicitly asked him not to be on the property until we had a signed agreement. His response was they could just work in garage. Update: 9/9/24! Mark is now demanding I take the reviews down or he won’t repair floors. The nightmare continues. He said he is putting a lien on my house. He says I am preventing him from doing the work but that is a complete lie. Read all details above to understand."

I am a one-man shop trying to put together beautiful and useful works of art with wood so that someone might enjoy them in their home.
"STL Woodworking did a stellar job with my special order for a one-of-a-kind river wood table. I described what I had in mind in terms of wood, colors, and size, and the owner (Greg) crafted the most beautiful table made out of a beautiful piece of macacauba wood and paired with a gorgeous epoxy color and a perfect set of black metal table legs. Greg completed the project on schedule and delivered the piece himself. The table is stunning, so I rearranged my furniture to make it a centerpiece in my sitting area, and I use it daily as my desk working from home. It is truly a piece of functional art. I am so glad I went with STL Woodworking for this project."

Installing a window seat can take anywhere from three to 20 hours, depending on the complexity of the project. A professional carpenter can complete a basic installation in as little as three hours if no modifications are needed. If they need to remove cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, it can extend the work to a full day. If you're tackling a DIY project, expect it to take a full day for a basic seat and several days for more advanced designs that involve extra structural adjustments.
A built-in window seat that measures four feet in width will seat two adults comfortably or let one person stretch out. Ideal dimensions are 17 to 20 inches in depth and 16 to 21 inches in height to ensure a balanced design and optimal comfort. Make sure your window seat isn't higher than the bottom of your window for a harmonious look in your space.
You might need a building permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-in seating that is added to residential properties. Check with your local building authorities and your professional carpenter to ensure you're in compliance and avoid any potential penalties.
