"\I already had some general drawings of what I wanted done. Mike took the drawings and tweaked them; adding and taking away some elements as needed. We met several times to discuss the different elements in the drawings until we both felt we had a good design. The drawings were for a mantle, cabinetry, and molding/trim. We had to wait for a mason to install the brick hearth around the fireplace. Then Mike built the mantle in his shop, at one time bringing the piece to the house to check for proper fit. The mantle design included the look of "dental" molding which is mimicked in the molding/trim; he also constructed a "dental" molding to go around the room sort of like crown molding, but technically not crown molding. He also built the cabinets which included book shelves, enclosed cabinetry for a sound system, and cubbies for firewood. The work was all custom; no stock cabinets. Once all the pieces were constructed, Mike painted them in his shop with a special durable spray paint (I don't remember the name of it) so we would not have to deal with him painting in the house. Then he brought the pieces to the house to install. The installation took about 3 days which included installing electrical boxes in the cabinets for the sound system. He took care to calk any gaps and to do any touch up painting as needed.
Mike was very professional and yet personable during the entire process. He was very thoughtful about calling to confirm appointments, showing up at the right time, and using his time well. He was good about meeting with the mason to ensure both were on the same page with regard to the project. He kept me informed on the progress during the construction. He took care to not make a mess and would clean up at the end of the day. He worked steadily and efficiently. I felt the price was very fair. He showed genuine enthusiasm for the project the whole way through. The final product looks very professional and custom, which is what I wanted.
