We are thrilled with the three built-ins Aaron made for our home, a dry bar, a large family room cabinet with bookcases and cabinets, and a window seat with storage. From day one Aaron was responsive, honest, on time and extremely professional. His attention to detail is second to none and we would not hesitate to hire Aaron for our next cabinetry project!

Aaron provides exceptional service. He crafted beautiful built-in bookshelves for us and went to great efforts to make sure they matched the existing woodwork detail in our 120-yr-old house. The quality of the finished product is excellent. Aaron is also great to work with -- he's responsive, detail-oriented and thoughtful. I would highly recommend his business!

Aaron made awesome built-in bookshelves and cabinets for my living room. I had a vision for what I wanted, and his design and execution was even better than I hoped. The brick fireplace in my 100+ year old home posed a challenge to build around, but Aaron did a terrific job--the bookshelves look like they've always been in the home, and the room is so much more functional now. And throughout the entire process, Aaron was extremely communicative and clear about the next steps and his timeline. Highly recommend!

Aaron built custom drawers for an existing armoire, and 2 floating shelves in our bathroom. We absolutely love them. He was extremely responsive and was wonderful to work with. I had a general idea of what I wanted, and he listened to everything I asked for and the results are BETTER than I imagined. If I ever have another project, he will be the first person I call.
