> Matt Leonard and Rob were hired to do an in-home office remodel.  It included utilizing some very old barn wood we had obtained and they made some of the most beautiful pieces with it...barn doors, desk fronts and a beautiful plan table/cabinet.  They both were a pleasure to work with and offered suggestions which were very much welcomed.  I would highly recommend Leonard Custom Works!

On our last project he really came to the table with great input on how to keep costs down and the design features up.  That was a real plus for my clients kitchen remodeling project.

> I can’t say enough about Matt Leonard.  He was extreemly professional with the insurance company and was always straight forward and honest.  He described what needed to be done and completed the job early.  His work was high end and very detailed.  Never flaky, always delivered and was truly a class act.

> We have been very happy with Leonard Custom Works and can certainly recommend them. Our kitchen remodel came out beautifully and we appreciated how Matt was able to make great suggestions to help us design our dream kitchen, from the built in cabinets to the custom French country kitchen island. We have also been very pleased with our beautiful outdoor pergola.

> I had a 14' vertical board and batten wall installed and an approx 30' wainscoting wall with fine trim. All of the work was perfect. There were virtually no seams. The work was done very timely and very clean. These guys are pros! Would highly reccomend them and I will definitely use them again!

**★★★★★ — jeanette533, Sept. 2015**

> I've done two different jobs with Leonard Custom Works. First was a custom wood screen door that Matt took from a photo I provided and he recreated. His attention to detail, quick turnaround, professionalism and price went way beyond my expectations!  Second job was larger in scale and again showing Matt some images, he came up with EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you Matt for our beautiful built in bookshelf/entertainment center. It will be enjoyed for many years to come!
