### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-765893408, Nov. 2022**

> Our experience with Duane Slaymaker was amazing and a great pleasure.
> He took our ideas for built-in bookcases and turned them into a beautiful installation of fine cabinetry.
> The proportions of the cabinets, the attention to detail and the finish were all of the highest quality.
> Being a hobby woodworker of 40+ years myself, I can appreciate the differences between a cabinet builder/installer and a true craftsman.
> Duane is a gifted artisan and an artist.

**★★★★★ — HU-761612402, Feb. 2022**

> Duane is a pro who is meticulous about workmanship, responsive, and embraces new ideas and challenges. We commissioned a modernist kitchen with flat panel cabinets, flush mounted door pulls, and tight tolerances and it turned out beautifully. The inevitable punch list items were quickly resolved. We highly recommend Duane and his work.

**★★★★★ — Becky, Nov. 2021**

> It is hard to put into words the amazing experience we had with The Wood Shed during our complete kitchen remodel.  Duane made what could have been an overwhelming experience so much easier!  He listened to all of our ideas while offering suggestions from his experiences.  His incredible passion for his work comes through from the first conversation you have with him until your project is complete.  Duane was willing to work with other vendors we had in the space at the same time which made the entire process much easier on our family.  He met every deadline we gave him without any hesitant or issues and is just so easy to work with.  Everyone who has visited our new kitchen comments on the quality of his work and we could not agree more.  We were so impressed with Duane that we cannot wait to have him back to complete other projects in our home in the very near future.  Thank you again Duane for everything!

**★★★★★ — Judy Schmidt, Sept. 2021**

> Duane is a skilled and experienced craftsman. From concept to completion he is professional,  listens to ideas, makes suggestions and keeps his timeline. We love our upgraded custom cabinets,  beautiful backsplash and gorgeous countertop.
> Thanks to Duane, I have more workspace to create custom decorated sugar cookies for my clients.  The extended work area created additional cabinets for cookie supplies and baking dishes.  It's perfect and more than what we imagined. The quality, beauty and finish are gorgeous! So glad we took the leap for a full upgrade and chose The Wood Shed as our cabinet maker. Duane saw the project thru to final details and finished on time. Completely satisfied and highly recommend! (Sensitive Information Hidden)

**★★★★★ — Karen Kauffman, Oct. 2020**

> Duane built a home office for us in our family room and we love it!  Right from the start it was easy to work with Duane.  He communicates clearly.  He listened to our wishes and provided additional suggestions that improved the project, which we appreciated. He sticks to his word.  The quality of his workmanship is extraordinary.  We highly recommend Duane for any project that you may have.

**★★★★★ — HU-434078176, March 2020**

> Duane built a beautiful buffet for my dining room. It is the nicest piece of furniture in my house. I will get more furniture built by him!

**★★★★★ — Cricket Hile, Dec. 2019**

> Duane did a great job building a hutch/desk for us.  He listened carefully to what we wanted; and, was not annoyed when I asked him to make changes.  He offered suggestions that would enhance the piece, but not necessarily the price. The piece was delivered exactly on time.  The workmanship and quality of the piece is impeccable.

**★★★★★ — Will Stone, Dec. 2019**

> From the design phase through the installation Duane was professional, fun and thorough.  What he designed and executed was beyond our expectations.  He finished the project ahead of schedule and at a fair price.  Will definitely hire him again.

**★★★★★ — EBS, Nov. 2019**

> Duane's love of wood and craftsmanship has kept him in my sights for many years. First with small projects, ultimately with one I'd leaned toward for more than a decade: a complete kitchen and master bath renovation. With Duane's help, our home is today lovelier and more functional than ever. And his hands have left a number of heirlooms as fixtures for generations to come.

**★★★★★ — Camille Smith, Oct. 2019**

> Duane built and installed all new cabinets in my kitchen and master bathroom and I couldn't be happier with his work. He loves wood like people love chocolate! He built us a beautiful custom cabinet made of hickory for our master bath. If I ever move, I'm taking this cabinet with me. For our kitchen he built and installed beautiful white shaker-style cabinets and a gorgeous island and coffee bar. As we dived into our project, I changed my mind a few times about certain things and he was always up for the challenge. I highly recommend Duane!

**Comment from The Wood Shed:**

> Elliott and Camille were an absolute joy to work with !!

**★★★★★ — Jody Ermold, March 2018**

> Quality and craftsmanship!  I am SO happy with the kitchen remodel that Duane did for my townhouse kitchen.  He is a true professional with attention to detail!  The existing kitchen had old, oak cabinets and a very "busy" backsplash and old countertops.   The cabinets were repainted and Duane custom made the new shaker style cabinet doors, crown molding  and peninsula cabinet for the center island/tabletop.  He handled my project in a very timely manner with outstanding communication to assure my expectations were met.  I HIGHLY recommend him for any of your remodeling needs!

**★★★★★ — HU-2183768, June 2017**

> Duane did a fantastic job on our mud room built-ins.  The design exactly matched what we had been thinking about and the final product was even better than we had expected

  - Description: Design requests were to tastefully house A 70 in. TV and provide space to display many books and collectibles. This great room has 11 ft. ceilings. We incorporated a "step up riser/soffit" section at the top. The riser extends up to accommodate and tie into the existing room crown molding. This all to create visual, proportional balance considering the higher then usual ceiling height.

  - Description: Another recent mudroom project. Client had a clear vision of design and function. The tall cabinet to the right was designed specifically to store brooms and other long handled items out of sight. The detailed, 3 piece crown molding and added details to the corbel supports, add visual interest and elegance. The project also gave me the opportunity to create the bench seat from a wide slab of Walnut wood produced on our onsite Sawmill.

Commission goals were to create an attractive space to display glassware in the upper portions and enclose a toaster and mixer behind doors at counter-top level. Below is additional storage and accommodates a small microwave. LED lighting systems highlight items displayed behind the glass doors and open granite counter top area. The lighting operates independently via dimmer touch controls hidden behind the arched mid rail.
