He matched the woodwork, the trim and the finish with the original closets and the completed work looks like it always belonged there. We were thrilled with his work. Ethan is an artist and takes great pride in everything he does. Just don’t let him sing! **★★★★★ — Wendy Copps, Jan. 2019** > Ethan is great to work with! He is very knowledgeable and was creative and thoughtful in his design process and really listened to what my needs were. His crew was professional, efficient, and minimally disruptive during the construction phase and the quality of the work is excellent. I highly recommend Ethan and Urban Utopia. **★★★★★ — Joan Davignon, Dec. 2018** > Ethan is definitely a master craftsman.

There were some difficult existing conditions but his craftsmanship overcame them all. Enjoyable to work with, on budget, master craftsman. **★★★★★ — Molly Giordano, Dec. 2017** > Ethan built a sun room addition off of our living room. The interior workmanship and woodwork is exquisite! The exterior is beautiful and blends with the rest of the house exterior. Does not look like an addition. Ethan's building skills mixed with his artistic ability make for a truly unique and quality project outcome. Area was always neat and clean during project. We highly recommend Urban Utopia aka Ethan. **★★★★★ — sfpaladino, Aug. 2016** > Urban Utopia put a new surface on my deck and also put steps around the deck and then stained all. The work was impeccable, done in a timely fashion and included great cleanup. > Ethan Bungert is a professional woodworker and knowledgeable about various kinds of woods and their uses. He had many helpful suggestions along the way. I would highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — kal3250, Aug. 2016** > I have used Ethan for two small projects. He was a pleasure to work with and very professional. He has a wonderful design sense! **★★★★★ — 27grange, May 2016** > Ethan has been an integral part of the renovation of our mid-century property in Rhode Island. His designs for pergolas, garden gates, trellis and fencing have helped to bring our home to a whole new level. One pergola he created five years ago from Spanish Cedar connects four ancient wisteria plants and is as sturdy as ever. He built an elegant deck which wraps around the greenhouse and sparkles with sunlight that filters through yet another pergola designed and built by Ethan. The garden gates he's made for us show the skill and creative talent he brings to his work. Ethan is courteous, dependable and usually finishes a project on time and on-budget. **★★★★★ — conjohb, April 2016** > Ethan is a professional, down to earth builder with a good design eye, but also the flexibility to work with the client to execute their vision. I've hired him twice: first to build a deck, and later to add benches and have been very pleased on both occasions. He works hard, gets the job done right, and has a great sense of humor. Finally, he has that mark of a true pro: the ability to make things happen when the weather or wood isn't cooperating. **★★★★★ — GREENE'S TREE AND GARDEN, April 2016** > I hired Ethan for 2 projects. One was cabinetry and the other was a stone patio and wall. On both occasions, Ethan went above and beyond and I ended up with a far superior product. His attention to detail and design show in his work. I was also pleased with material selection. ## Selected projects - [Metal Side Entrance Shed Roof](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/metal-side-entrance-shed-roof-pj-vj~7305415) - Location: Mattapoisett, MA - Photos: 8 - [Outdoor Shower Holly Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-shower-holly-lane-pj-vj~7305419) - Location: Mattapoisett, MA - Photos: 6 - [Outdoor Shower South Dartmouth](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-shower-south-dartmouth-pj-vj~7305404) - Location: Dartmouth, MA - Photos: 7 - [Outdoor Shower Onset, MA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-shower-onset-ma-pj-vj~7305396) - Location: Wareham, MA - Photos: 8 - [Tea house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tea-house-pj-vj~1791755) - Location: Mattapoisett, MA - Photos: 15 - [upper parterre garden wall and entry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-parterre-garden-wall-and-entry-pj-vj~1708010) - Location: Mattapoisett, MA - Photos: 14 - [Front door and stoop](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-door-and-stoop-pj-vj~6553868) - Location: Mattapoisett, Massachusetts - Photos: 5 - Description: Replaced front door and entry deck.
