Mid century inspired cider table. Custom order.

Jessica F.

We have used this talented designer / wood-working magician to make several items for our ecclectic home. Farm house table, tall clothing cabinet, storage chest, buffet with tray insert, mid century style coffee table with hair pin legs and 2 corn hole boards. Every SINGLE time he has shocked us with what he delivers. From start to finish, he is the most professional furniture creator I have ever worked with. I send him my ideas, he gets back right away with a proposal and the turn around time is always quicker than I would expect. Andy is a pleasure. He has great energy as does all his creations. Could not say enough good things!

Andy is an incredible craftsman. Timely, works in an organized manner, tidy, trustworthy. He did such a wonderful job on my kitchen and bedroom. I told him what I wanted he made it happen. It's even better than I expected. I first bought a pallet planter from him and was impressed by that from there we discussed my ideas. He walked the job came up with an estimate. Wish I could add photos to this.

Andy is my go to when I have furniture or custom pieces that I need for a client. He is fantastic to work with and has very competitive pricing. He has built a trestle table and custom shelves for my clients. The clients were so happy that they could order a custom size for their space and he also does delivery/installation.

Andy is a true master craftsman bring him an idea and he can build it. We first hired Andy to cover a wall in reclaimed pallet wood. Andy seeks out materials that stand out blending colors and textures for an amazing look. He is a perfectionist in every way. The second job was a replication of a coffee table from Restoration Hardware, we sent Andy the picture and boom he built an ever nicer table for a fraction of the cost. I would not hesitate to recommend Andy for a second. Guys with his craft don't exist anymore. Thank you Andy looking forward to the next project.

I was driving by, saw a sign for Custom Pallet Decor and decided to stop in to see what they were about. There was a small workshop where we met Andy. We had an idea for a custom distressed wooden sign to hang over our shuffle board table. Andy stopped what he was doing and helped layout some options for us. Most importantly, he provided a reasonable rate and delivered on spec ahead of schedule. We are now having him build a custom gate for us. If you are looking for any type of custom woodworking (not just pallet wood), I would highly recommend Andy and Custom Pallet Decor.

We contracted Andy to create a wood panel wall feature and barn door for our master bedroom. He quoted us two weeks to complete both and delivered it to us within a week. The craftsmanship exceeded our expectations and his professionalism was like that of no other carpenter/creator that I've ever dealt with. His knowledge and expertise with the materials used really showed his talent. Pricing was quite reasonable and I recommend his company to any individual looking for custom wood pieces.

WOW Better Than Expected. I hired Andy to create a custom stone accent wall with cedar shelving here in San Marcos, Ca. I am blown away at the finished product and probably should have paid DOUBLE! Thank you for the quality of work, professionalism, and fair pricing. My living room is now my favorite room in the house! I will be returning fo future business! read more

They took the time and care to cover my floors to protect them. Communication was awesome and responsive always. They are extremely polite and punctual.

I am so thankful we found Paul and Andy with Custom Built! We were referred to them by a friend who has worked with them on many projects in the past, and we could not have been more pleased with their work on our home. We initially hired them to close off a loft area and make it into a third bedroom for our second baby. Around the same time, we experienced a slab leak and needed to replace all of the flooring and a good amount of drywall on our first floor. They didn't hesitate to take on the additional project, they were incredibly timely and professional, and most importantly, the quality of the work exceeded my expectations! Paul went out of his way to make what could have been a stressful process easy and even enjoyable for my husband and me while we were busy working two full time jobs, caring for a 2-year-old and preparing for a new baby in the midst of COVID-19. We will absolutely use them again in the future!! read more

I was in search for the perfect table that had the rustic look, and was having no luck. I came across a few different companies but nothing had the authenticity I was looking for. Then I came across pallet decor, it was the perfect fit. Andy was a pleasure to work with throughout the process, from design to delivery. Really couldn't ask for more, we were so stoked on the table we are now working on getting another piece for an upcoming event. The best part for us was the communication, Andy let us know every step of the way how things were coming along. His honesty and transparency were greatly appreciated.

I reached out to Andy looking to see if he could make a baby changing table out of pallet wood. He responded quickly and sounded eager to take on on the project. Everything went very smoothly after that! Andy kept me posted and updated with the project. He offered to deliver the table in person to which he did. Upon delivery of the table, I looked at it and it exceeded my expectations of what I thought he was making. The construction of the table was sturdy and of great quality. Excellent craftsmanship! I highly recommend Andy for anyone looking to have similar projects made. I plan to hire him him for future projects as his prices are very reasonable. read more

History

Established in 2016.

Andy's Story As a child I loved watching my dad do carpentry work. A true jack of all trades he enjoyed building things and that passion & knowledge helped build the foundation of my carpentry skills. I have since created my unique style of work and take pride in helping others to achieve their project goals. The beginnings - (Custom Pallet Decor 2016 - Custom Built Inc. 2019) I moved to California with my family from the Canadian East coast and decided to pursue my passion of working within the construction industry. I worked for a painting & general contractor for many years, managing projects, working with the crews and helping with the business development. A few years went by and remarkably a friend gave me an old pallet and asked me to build a small table. I initially thought it was silly... what can I make from old pallet wood?

Please don't make our mistake. Ultimately, Jaki did not understand our vision and kept pushing her design preferences on us. We had to fully create our own PowerPoint deck with reference photos to get our ideas across room by room; source our own tile (when she claimed the design we wanted didn't exist in the tile we wanted); ordered the wrong quantity of products; among many other issues. Additionally when we chose not to use her preferred contractor, she became even more difficult to work with. She claimed she didn't know how to use IKEA's closet building tool to help us build our master closet, was always running late to our meetings; nor did she know how to use Gmail to schedule said meetings. Due to COVID and vendor supply issues our renovation took much longer than anyone expected. But the most egregious and unprofessional behavior was when she quit the job BEFORE any of the fixtures she ordered were even installed. She literally took our money and ran. We were still in the middle of our renovation and had been project managing the majority of the work ourselves. To reiterate-- we paid Jaki in full for her services but she would not even honor returns or exchanges for products that we DID NOT install (because they didn't end up working in our space and were misrepresented in the renderings). In the end, we had to go directly to the vendor ourselves, who graciously honored the exchange given that we had such a terrible time trying to get that through Jaki. The whole experience has been extremely disappointing and we would not recommend her services.

Bill is a true craftsman! I've had a wood gate that has needed rebuilding for the last 8 years…read more Pieces of the wood gate were rotting. Over the years, I've had other handymen pass on the project. I had a handyman who was able to fill the rotted areas with wood filler, sand it, and restain it. I've even had a gate company tell me that they could not save the gate; it would need to be completely replaced. Bill was able to cut out the rotted pieces of wood, replace them, and restain the whole gate (he also repainted the decorative hardware on the door as well). Moreover, he discussed the project with a buddy of his and they determined that the gate was sitting over a muddy part of landscaping which is probably what facilitated the deterioration of the wood. We found some leftover pavers in our storage shed and Bill extended the pavers so the gate would sit over pavers instead of mud. Before he embarked on the wood gate repair, Bill also installed a valance/shade over a window. He made the necessary calculations to ensure that the valance/shade would be centered on the wall and window. He also made sure that the valence was leveled.

UPDATE/REPLY TO OWNER: After I posted this review, the owner replied and said that seam variation is normal and that they always try to make seams as minimal and consistent as possible. That all sounds reasonable -- but here's what the reply leaves out. The seam we're concerned about has visible glue residue and looks just like the others did, which they had already cleaned up successfully during the same install. The only difference? By the time we brought this one up, we'd already paid in full. We weren't asking for perfection -- just for this last seam to be finished to the same standard. Instead, we were told "nothing can be done," and no one even offered to come take a look. Honestly, it turned what had been a great experience into a really frustrating one. Most of the work looks good, but the way things were handled after the fact left us feeling like we weren't valued once the payment cleared. ORIGINAL REVIEW: We hired this company because of their excellent reviews, competitive pricing, and ability to work within our timeline -- and overall, we're somewhat happy with how the countertops turned out. When we met Steven, we emphasized how important it was to us that the seams be as minimal as possible. When we reviewed the templates, we raised concerns about one seam being placed in a very prominent location. We were told it had to go there, but that every effort would be made to minimize its appearance. During installation, the team was friendly and professional. On the first day, they noticed that the quartz pieces had some bowing issues (apparently, this can happen if the slabs are stored outside, which these were). The owner called to explain that they needed to correct the bowing to ensure the seams would be less noticeable. This adjustment delayed their initial timeline of 7 days after templating. The team added braces to the countertops and returned a few days later. There were additional delays getting the waterfall edges and windowsill installed, but once everything was in place, we were generally satisfied with the overall look. However, about a week later, we noticed one seam that stood out from the others -- visibly rougher and less refined. We contacted the owner and were told this kind of thing happens, that nothing could be done, and that even worse seams are displayed in their showroom. That response left us disappointed. Given how good the other seams looked, we were surprised at the lack of effort or interest in finding a resolution. If you hire Rock-It, we recommend staying engaged through the final details of the install. Be sure you're 100% satisfied before signing off and paying in full. We hope the company will take this kind of feedback to heart and continue to prioritize finish quality and post-install support.

As a homeowner navigating the perils of rebuilding w/a less than stellar GC, it was so refreshing, perhaps comforting to work with someone as capable and honest (and punctual!) as Andy. We initially asked him if he could build a library ladder for the loft in our son's room. The ladder became the focal point for all tours of our rebuild--and made our son happy about his new room for the first time in 9 months. When our GC clearly wasn't going to be able to complete some other projects--or do them well enough, we contacted Andy again. He and his team built gorgeous custom cabinets for our bathrooms, a linen closet, as well as a completely unique door between my son's loft and our attic. Everything was beautifully executed, on time and for the original quote. read more

I recently went to the an Antique store in San Marcos, there was a shelving unit i saw in a display, however it wasnt for sale. It wasnt until an employee pointed out Custom Pallet Decor to me, and told me to give him a call and he could build me one. At first i was skeptical, but the price was fair, id figured the price point wasn't high enough for me to think it was a big risk so I went ahead and asked him to build me a 15"x15" shelving unit. It came out way better than the one I actually wanted at the store, I was very impressed with his work. I'm probably going to order more, and I will definitely keep his contact information for future projects. read more

What a find!!... I was looking for some reclaimed/old style wood furniture and home décor and came across Custom Pallet decor. So happy that I did! I spoke with Andy, the owner and creative mind behind the wood pallet creations. I wanted a side table for my living room as well as few décor pieces. He came up with great ideas... and built me a beautiful barn word style side table made of pallet wood, a cool pallet wood tray, a flower vase and an awesome candle holder. Great service and delivery was free. Thanks so much... I love my new pallet pieces! Highly recommended. read more

Thank you Andy for the fantastic pallet wood desk and Wall console...what a great idea! I really like the reclaimed wood look and the attention it brings when family and friends see these pieces. Andy is the owner of Custom Pallet Decor and he was awesome at giving advice, he made the table to measure and on schedule...Delivery too! His pricing is very affordable and the quality and great service made it all worth it. I strongly recommend Andy and Custom pallet decor for making your reclaimed wood furniture, home decoration and whatever ideas you can throw his way! read more

Andy exceeded my expectations. He understood the aesthetic we were going for and delivered. We asked him to recap a built- in TV stand in our living room, and a shelf. Now we are looking for other things he can make better! I scheduled the entire afternoon to wait around while he worked, and he was done in about 2. I also second several of the reviews that said he's organized, clean, and smart. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. read more

The coolest part about this experience, besides the beautiful product, was being included in the process. Andy was open minded and actually encouraged me to share my ideas and made me feel like I was part of the team. He was honest and came up with a creative yet realistic solution to my over ambitious project! The end product is a gorgeous piece of furniture that I plan on keeping forever! read more
