**★★★★★ — Seth Johnson, Sept. 2023**

> Sean does excellent work, goes above and beyond in terms of effort and communication, and we would unequivocally recommend him to anyone. He was a bright spot in our kitchen remodel, and we have had multiple guests comment on the obvious quality of various aspects of his finished work.
>
> With our project, Sean did a mix of custom and stock cabinets, and the results were fantastic. Sean also added additional customization on his own to solve design issues in the original plans, as well as quickly adapting in the middle of the project to fulfill requests of ours that (mistakenly) had not been conveyed to him beforehand. And, on his own accord, Sean built and gave us a custom chopping block from the leftover wood used for our butchers block island—a genuinely appreciated personal touch that we think is indicative of the type of contractor he is on the whole.
>
> Put simply, we felt it was obvious Sean cared about our project from start to finish, and this underlying quality of his positively influenced the process itself, our interactions with him, and the end result. We look forward to working with him again.

**★★★★★ — mherchek, Sept. 2021**

> Sean Carlin is nothing short of a magician! He turned our dining room into a functional home office by building custom built-in and a custom glass door. I couldn’t have imagined it would turn out as perfectly as it did! I would recommend him for any project in your home. It’s almost like he could see inside my brain and read my mind for what style, color, preference I wanted, when I couldn’t even do that myself! If you’re even considering a project, get on his books now!

**★★★★★ — dmorway, April 2017**

> Sean built me a curved pergola around my patio.  His attention to detail is unmatched and I am thrilled with the result.  Can't wait to start him on the next project.

**★★★★★ — Derek Senseney, March 2017**

> Mudroom Storage unit-
>
> Sean did a great job building a mudroom storage unit for my family.  The craftsmanship was great, the design was clean, and best of all he was able to add some reclaimed wood to the bench to make the piece pop.  I would recommend Sean to anyone thinking of a custom built project.

**★★★★★ — Candace Meza, Jan. 2017**

> Sean Carlin has worked on many projects in our house!  He is so great to work with and his work is incredible!  He has the most creative ideas and his finished work is absolutely stunning!

**★★★★★ — Sandy Fisher, Jan. 2017**

> I cannot express how impressed and satisfied I am after Sean's complete remodel of my Newport Beach home. Not only is he ultra creative with his design ideas but a perfectionist when he implements them.
>
> He is knowledgeable and very skilled in all aspects of construction. From truly expert painting skills, iron works, cabinet construction, wall finishes, furniture design/build, to name a few. His work is impeccable!
>
> His work is admired by EVERYONE who walks into my house including other designers and contractors. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that everyone walks around the house in awe.
>
> Hire Sean if you want unique, creative perfectionism. He is a true craftsman who takes pride in his finished work. See photos of Newport Beach. (Even more beautiful in person).

**★★★★★ — Tom & Beate Kearns, Jan. 2017**

> We have been working with Sean for several years now on various projects. Custom moldings, kitchen cabinet refacing, a beautiful custom mahogany front door, a gorgeous custom kitchen island with concrete counter top, too many projects to name them all. Sean’s work has truly transformed our two homes over the course of the years. The last work he did for us was a complete backyard hardscape and garage remodel. A HUGE undertaking and it turned out gorgeous (see pictures “Hardscape and Garage”). Sean is extremely talented, innovative, precise and very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend Sean. His work is exceptional!

**★★★★★ — Jen Prelog, Dec. 2016**

> Sean laid our flooring in our Art Room! He did an exceptional job! It looks Amazing! Highly recommend Sean...his work is Fantastic. He is extremely professional and very knowledgeable!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Putting a free-standing tub in a shower area (waterproofing) help!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I have a 67" free-standing tub I'd like to add in the same spot as my shower area... my plumber does not know how to water-proof it when draining through the liner for the tub... Please help asap.. Thanks! my email is Crazy4craigslist@aol.com

I've included the tub specifications and a picture of something similar to what I'm looking to do... Thank you for any help...

A: It’s really more simple than everyone is making it out to be, you just use two shower drain flanges, then you set the tub on one with the drain pipe into the second flange

**Q: I want a rectangular dining table that seats 12 people, how long does it have to be?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Who makes the best extra large tables?

A: I make custom high quality tables.
