### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Andrea S, April 2026**

> We had such a great experience with John and JL Molding. He was always very prompt in his reply, and correspondences.  He was honest about the estimate and the work was done in a very timely manner. The wainscoting in the dining room and trim around the mandala went smoothly and look perfectly stunning! I highly recommend JL Molding. He knows his business!

**★★★★★ — Karen Ezzi, Dec. 2025**

> We had picture frame molding installed in our living room and two-story foyer, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The craftsmanship is beautiful and truly elevates the space. John and his team were extremely skilled, professional, and detail-oriented from start to finish. They worked efficiently, kept everything neat, and clearly take pride in their work. The end result exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality finish carpentry.

**★★★★★ — HU-932624971, Nov. 2025**

> I’m an interior designer who had the pleasure of working with John and his team to create custom built in cabinets in my clients living room. Their attention to detail, pricing and quality is outstanding. The most stand out part to me though was their problem solving ability during install when things came up with the electric that we didn’t expect. Thank you for making my clients dream come true!

**★★★★★ — HU-675512592, Nov. 2025**

> My husband and I recently hired John and his team to do custom built-in cabinetry for our living room. John was very responsive and professional. Also, he quoted us a reasonable and competitive price, compared to other quotes we had received. His team did a wonderful job and we are beyond happy with their work!

**★★★★★ — HU-77883296, July 2025**

> Working with John & crew was nothing short of amazing! We did a number of different projects (custom built-ins, trim work, interior & exterior door replacement & transition from sliders to windows) and all were executed beautifully!
>
> John is honest & an excellent with communication, which is hard to find in a contractor these days. When I would bounce some ideas I had in mind, he came back to me would work better in the space.
>
> We are so happy with everything & will only use John & team for future projects. Thanks so much for a job well done!!

**★★★★★ — Yu Yu, March 2025**

> Our new crown molding looks fantastic - the whole process from getting the precise quote to the day of the installation was very smooth and transparent. John was the only person we’ve spoken to who cared to make sure we had the right size and amount of molding for the job (we already had the material). Despite us starting off this project as a DIY and ordering only 9f strips of molding his team installed it perfectly and there are no seems visible anywhere. They also did the whole project in one day, while other companies were claiming it would take quite a few. The price felt fair and the level of professionalism was absolutely worth it. We are very thankful!

**★★★★★ — Edward Conti, Jan. 2023**

> I highly recommend JL Molding Design. I had John do crown molding and wainscoting throughout my entire house back in 2017. I just had him back to do a custom job above my fireplace. The job came out great! I'm happy to say that the same quality and customer service that I experienced back in 2017 was the same if not better on this most recent job. Check out his web-site:

**★★★★★ — Pam Gutman, Jan. 2023**

> John was a pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable, fair, and responsive. His workers were punctual, clean, and professional. I love our new molding and would not hesitate to work with JL Molding again for my molding needs!!

**★★★★★ — HU-940139540, Dec. 2022**

> John and his team did a fantastic job putting trim in our house. We did our study room, hall way, bathroom and family room and it all turned out fantastic. We did chair rail and wainscoting in the study room and hallway. In the family room we did large architectural boxes on our two story wall and in between our windows. The people that did the work were knowledgable, friendly, and fast. They were able to get everything done in a day when originally we thought it could take two. Working with John was very nice as we traded many emails back and forth to ensure our style came out just right as he really helped us with our design choices. We couldn’t be happier with the service.

**★★★★★ — iwona1978, Dec. 2022**

> John and his team did an excellent job with all the trim work they did. They arrived on time and set up right away. They are very professional, friendly and very experienced. Top notch work. Im a perfectionist and they really did a beautiful job. We are very happy. Will hire again for future projects!

**★★★★★ — HU-387171885, Dec. 2021**

> John and his team did an excellent job installing crown molding throughout my entire house along with some boxes. This work was done in less than two days. They were very efficient and worked as a team.

**★★★★★ — nmmclaughlin, Feb. 2021**

> John’s work is impeccable. Couldn’t be happier. New wainscoting, crown/base molding, interior doors, window and door casings, fireplace surround, and custom designed lattice wall.  John took the time to understand my vision and bring it to fruition through his design and craftsmanship. If you have high standards, are particular and are looking for the right team to partner with, JL Molding is the right firm.
