**★★★★★ — Suzanne Awn, Dec. 2023**

> I hired Mike from Hillcrest Carpentry to build a built-in for the dining room. Mike was professional from the start gaining a understanding of the project, providing a clear plan and a detailed proposal. Mike's attention to detail was evident, he did everything he said he was going to do. The installation went very well and the finished product exceeded expectations. Very happy that I chose Hillcrest Carpentry and will certainly invite Mike back as other projects come up.

**★★★★★ — Against the Grain Woodworking, Inc., June 2017**

> Mike is great at what he does and he does everything.  We have collaborated on many projects and he's a joy to work with and has the highest integrity.  We highly recommend Hillcrest for all your remodeling needs.

**★★★★★ — Robin F, May 2017**

> I had the good fortune of finding Mike online, and can not recommend him highly enough. He is a genuinely nice person, who makes a thoughtful and honest  appraisal of your job's specific needs. He is mindful of your budget, and pleasant and respectful of your home. Mike is knowledgeable and experienced in his field, and his quality of work is excellent.

**★★★★★ — Garland Y, May 2017**

> Mike recently completed 2 projects for me and I am so very happy with the results. The first was a custom look door and trim for a home office. Throughout the process Mike used a consultative approach to show us different door styles, stain and trim options. He communicated on the progress of the door order and even sent pictures when the stain was applied from his shop. The second project was a screen door installation. Mike took the time to see some additional bracing was needed to install properly.
> Mike's professionalism, communication and pride in work really show through! I am already looking for additional ways to work with Mike to add value, style and function to my home.

**Comment from Hillcrest Carpentry:**

> Garland, thank you so much for choosing Hillcrest Carpentry.  It was a pleasure to work with you and I love how the office door turned out.  The look and color are a great combination.  I'm looking forward to the upcoming projects that you have in the future!

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Sharpe, April 2017**

> Absolutely love my shelves! Mike did an amazing job and I loved how he really took his time and made sure everything was perfect! I also really appreciate how he follows up afterwards to make sure we are completely satisfied. Thank you!

**Comment from Hillcrest Carpentry:**

> Thank you Jennifer!  I really appreciate and value the fact that you decided to go with custom shelving that was made locally.  I am very happy with how they turned out and I will never take for granted the great amount of trust you put in my company to deliver a satisfactory product to you.  Thank you so much for choosing Hillcrest Carpentry!

**★★★★★ — Kel Anglin, March 2017**

> Exceeded expectations! In most cases after hiring a professional I've been left feeling I could have done a better job on my own. Thankfully that wasn't the case with Hillcrest. I decided to contract my kitchen and powder room renovation out due to a lack of time & proper tools. Mike is as good as it gets and has an attention to detail that matches mine. From taking down existing walls and demo, to installing custom cabinets and backsplash, he took my entire project from start to finish. He is knowledgable, punctual, trustworthy, and in my opinion very reasonably priced when taking into consideration the quality he delivers. I've got a few other projects planned and Hillcrest will without a doubt be the company for the job.

**Comment from Hillcrest Carpentry:**

> Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to work with you.  Your project has been truly a great experience for us and has really allowed us to bring forward unique ideas and creativity.  What started out as a vision and idea has been fully realized and we are very proud of the results.  We are looking forward to the future projects with you!

  - Description: Custom built floating shelves give a clean look to this living room wall. The existing spaces were just plain and empty before, but now there is plenty of room for decoration and family photos. The shelves are made of Oak and finished with a walnut penetrating oil. An advantage of custom built shelves is not only fitting the space, but a unique design!
