From the…read morebeginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. I wanted a traditional colonial-style mantel and shelving unit with classic details, and Zach executed it perfectly. His attention to detail was exceptional. Every molding, trim piece, and finish was carefully crafted, resulting in a timeless and high-quality look. Communication was excellent, the project stayed on schedule, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. If you appreciate quality craftsmanship and someone who truly cares about getting the details right, I highly recommend Zach and Gina. We are absolutely thrilled with the final result and would gladly work with him again.

Their ingenuity and work ethic kept the project schedule and the project budget on target. When it came time to finish the project, we discussed our remaining concerns, and rest assured, Yury's professionalism, skill, and creativity delivered a fantastic, well finished solution. In very little time, he delivered 3d conceptual designs on the bits of custom work, allowing us to see the final product before making a decision. This made it very easy to understand the vision and left us very comfortable with the direction. He even went the extra mile and made special accommodations to come back and provide the finishing within less than a week.

Charley was our project manager; he kept the project moving forward and was extremely responsive to texts and calls. They helped us change the cabinet layout a bit and it ends up being more functional while also having much more usable space. The flooring and baseboards turned out terrific, it really changes the look and feel of the space. We had picked out something that was not one of their usual suppliers, but that was no problem. They really work with you to get exactly what you want. All the workers were friendly, skilled and left our house clean at the end of the day. My thanks to everyone that worked on our project. Chuck finished the kitchen up and did fine work with our plumbing which required some intricate work to accommodate our layout. I highly recommend Mastercraft and would use them again for any future work.

Not only did he get the project completed on time, we also stayed within my budget and the end result absolutely exceeded my expectations. Thank you Charley, and thank you Mastercraft!!!

He also is detailed and pointed out a few things we hadn't thought of in a very low pressure way and gave us some good ideas to consider. I could tell he knows what he's talking about with decks. He was also super friendly - he even asked if my son wanted to say hi to his dog, which my son was stoked about. The estimate was thorough and in the same ballpark as other licensed carpenters. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Shaun on carpentry projects in the future.

He did a great job and I will definitely call Shaun for the next job.

He came out quickly to assess the situation, gave me his next available start time and took care of the problem like a pro. There were some challenges as the neighbors on the other side of the fence had put up surfboard storage racks, etc. We talked through some additional costs and the end result was better than anticipated. Very pleased - thanks Dave.

Kevin is the real deal, a furniture restorer, a craftsman and an artist. See BEFORE and AFTER…read morepictures. Bottom line: I don't believe anyone else in San Diego could do what he did. DETAILS: We had a disaster with our large, built-in bathroom vanity. Shampoo had spilled and wasn't discovered for months, causing extensive damage to 5 components: a large supporting vertical piece, the supporting bottom piece running the entire width of the vanity, a cabinet door, a drawer cover, and the drawer. I called numerous woodworkers, handymen, specializing in wood, cabinet makers, and cabinet companies. Most suggested cutting out pieces, patch-ups and coverups. Those that had a well-known reputation were concerned about the vanity's structural integrity. One suggested adding another bottom support, which would have completely changed the look and feel. An extremely reputable cabinet company told us they wouldn't even try because they weren't confident that they could remove the supporting vertical piece. THEN WE FOUND KEVIN. He didn't patch it. He didn't coverup damage. He didn't change the design. He restored it. In my opinion, Kevin is a true craftsman and artist, and probably a one-and-only. He told me his grandfather taught him the trade beginning when he was a young boy. His skill, patience, and attention to detail are extraordinary. Look at the photos. They tell the story. You will see what Kevin was up against. and that he gave us back our disaster as good as when we had it custom built almost 20 years ago (and better than prior to the damage).

However it turned out even uglier in my opinion. He said if you looked at it from straight on it would not be noticeable, which is true, but from other angles it is a glaring eyesore. He did not tell me it would be beautiful only from one angle and I am very disappointed. So frankly I would not hire him for a repair. This is a reply to your offer. Thank you for your offer to redo the work, but when I expressed concerns after your initial repair, that would have been the time to discuss alternative approaches. At the time you left me with that was just the way it was because of the way light is refracted. I tried to ignore it but it leaps out at you every time you walk by. It is much worse than it was before and 4 times larger. I hired another company to come out and see what they could do. Although their repair still isn't perfect, it is significantly less noticeable. At this point, I don't feel confident that another attempt would achieve the results I would like.
