I would like to highly recommend Ryan Bruzan of Cherrywood Custom Woodworking. He did a fantastic job on a mudroom bench/ cabinet unit for us. It turned out beautifully! Ryan was so easy to work with, designing and custom building just what we needed for our space. > > (502) 533-8282 > > CustomBuiltInsKY@gmail.com **Comment from Cherrywood Custom Woodworking:** > Thank you Susanna, I appreciate the opportunity and am tremendously grateful. **★★★★★ — Christa Coleman, April 2021** > We were remodeling our small upstairs bathroom and ran into an issue with our vanity. Ryan was available immediately and beautifully modified our bathroom vanity to the size we needed. He was finished quickly the same day and our contractor was able to finish the bathroom on time. Highly recommend Cherrywood Custom Woodworking! Ryan is very knowledgeable and a true craftsman!! **Comment from Cherrywood Custom Woodworking:** > Thank you Christa. I appreciate the opportunity and am grateful in many ways. **★★★★★ — Megan Kelly, Sept. 2020** > I could not be more impressed with how professional and skilled Ryan is! > We hired him to install custom built-ins on either side of our fireplace and they turned out amazing!! He gave us the option to paint them ourselves to save on time and money and I am so happy that he did! Most contractors wouldn't give you this option. Being able to do the paint work ourselves we have been able to enjoy our new home project sooner than we would have had we needed custom painters to come in, it also doesn’t hurt that we saved a little money going this route! > Ryan was able to complete our total instal in a day and a half. We were so shocked (in the best way) by how quickly and efficiently he worked. We could not be happier with how everything turned out and I will be recommending him to anyone and everyone I know who needs any kind of home improvement! > I highly recommend reaching out to him regardless of the scope of your project! I have a feeling we may be reaching out to him for future home improvement projects for years to come! **★★★★★ — Stacey Nalley, Aug. 2019** > Ryan just finished giving our kitchen cabinets a much needed makeover and we could not be more pleased with the results! He was very professional and easy to work with. He even completed the project ahead of schedule! **★★★★★ — Robert Clark, Feb. 2019** > Ryan installed custom kitchen cabinets that changed my kitchen to the nicest room in the house. He provided high quality, price and a professional attitude. Very pleased with the results and highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Brandon Clark, Jan. 2019** > Ryan was top notch! He assisted with brainstorming during the design process, drew everything up in a program so I could visualize it, showed up when he said he would, delivered an excellent product in a reasonable timeframe. He kept a clean work area while at my home, and left my house clean as well. I will definitely be a repeat customer. **★★★★★ — Alan C, July 2018** > We cannot recommend Ryan enough. We contacted three contractors to bid our office project, and we are so glad we chose Cherrywood. Ryan was very reasonably priced, had excellent follow through during construction, and completed the job ahead of schedule. He took our vague ideas, offered sound advice and solutions, and communicated an extraordinary attention to detail throughout the design and building phases. Our office built-ins are solid, attractive, and exactly what we needed. **★★★★★ — dk\_brewer, May 2018** > Ryan was very professional and did excellent work. He pays attention to detail and sought our input throughout the process. He even added additional touches that complimented our style. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — aadees2, March 2018** > Very professional and produced a great cabinet. It is now a focal point in my home. I would highly recommend’ **★★★★★ — Mike Gross, Dec. 2017** > Ryan was great. I had a built-in project in mind, but his work surpassed all expectations. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was amazing. Moreover, he came to assess the space when he said he would...and delivered on-time and on-budget. We were thrilled with the results and will absolutely refer him to our friends! **★★★★★ — Diane Cagnon-Ciolek, Dec. 2017** > From the beginning, I felt very comfortable with Ryan. He listened to what I was interested in having done (kitchen cabinet refacing and some additional construction), offered some interesting and fun improvements and gave me a projected date when he would be able to get the job done. Every step of the way was exactly as I expected, from when he would contact me, when he would be on site, how long our down-time would be and when he would be finished. No surprises, no delays and fantastic workmanship. I am thrilled with the job and will highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to have kitchen work done. When we have a future project in mind, we will contact Ryan first! **★★★★★ — Mark Glennon, Sept. 2017** > We are very happy with our decision to choose Ryan to refinish our kitchen. Ryan not only refinished our kitchen cabinets, he basically helped us remodel our entire kitchen. Ryan created and built new upper kitchen cabinets with seeded glass, created and built a raised counter top,created and built custom wall cabinets, created and built a rolling island. Ryan is a craftsman. Every piece he created is beautiful and built to last. Ryan was very thorough and asked us lots of questions during our first visit. Shortly after that we received custom drawings to help us visualize what our kitchen would look like. Ryan also offered his feedback on what he thought would work within our space. We found Ryan's creative feedback to be very helpful when designing our kitchen. Ryan is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Ryan to my friends and family without hesitation. ## Selected projects - [Contemporary Goshen Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-goshen-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~2410113) - Location: Goshen, KY - Photos: 4 - Description: Z-Kitchenette by Ryan This project was inspired by a Pin that the homeowner provided.
