They built a beautiful mudroom style storage cabinet in our basement, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. Everyone was so kind and professional! Highly recommend Callie and her team! **★★★★★ — Amanda, June 2025** > It was great working with Callie, Randy, and Pete! We did four projects, including three custom built-ins (a floor-to-ceiling living room unit, floor-to-ceiling stairway landing unit, and a coffee bar), and a new stair banister. It took a little under a year between the time we first discussed these projects and finished the installation. 1) They know their stuff. Callie has an excellent eye for design. She worked seamlessly with our vision, adding design ideas and suggesting color/handle/functional choices that has made our home much more livable. 2) Callie worked within our budget while still using high quality materials. She was able to use materials across projects to save us money while keeping the designs cohesive around the house. 3) Randy and Pete were very personable during installation, which took about 2.5 weeks, and paid close attention to detail. They rewired lighting for our floor-to-ceiling built-ins and patched everything up to look nice around the edges. We are looking forward to our next design work with PARZ already! **★★★★★ — HU-146778095, April 2024** > Parz Designs was awesome from start to finish. I sought estimates from two other companies before reaching out to Parz. By comparison, I was immediately impressed with Callie’s responsiveness. Additionally, Callie really listened to my desires and helped make an idea into a reality - a 20’ foot long built-in that includes drawers, cabinets, shelving, and a herringbone shiplap centerpiece. Callie was also very helpful with selecting lighting and hardware. Once the design was complete, Randy and his team took over the execution and were equally as easy to work with. Randy was meticulous with each element of the built-in and is a master at his craft. We love our built-in and continue to receive many compliments on it. I would not hesitate to recommend Parz Designs. **★★★★★ — fabric1425, Dec. 2023** > We could not be happier with the custom carpentry work done by PARZ Designs. Callie helped design stunning storage and cabinetry solutions for our 120-year-old home. And master carpenter Randy and his team overcame the many challenges of our quirky house to craft beautiful custom built-ins. The PARZ Design team was truly a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — miller\_jeanne\_m, March 2023** > PARZ created and installed built in bookcases in our living room and installed crown molding for us. They were helpful and communicative all the way through the project, from the initial consultation appointment at our home through the final clean up. Their attention to detail was amazing, right down to custom making the bookcase baseboard to match the existing baseboards in the house. There were a few small fixes needed after the job and PARZ was right on it to make sure every last detail was perfect. The bookcases and crown look amazing and we know they are well made from hardwood that will last a lifetime. We couldn’t be happier with the results and we’ve already recommended PARZ to a friend. **★★★★★ — NICHELLE NASSIF, Aug. 2022** > Callie and Randy have built 14 built in's in my house. They have designed and built everything from my sons mountain bed, to our master bathroom vanities, benches, custom bar, our library built-ins, playroom with two loft beds and jungle gym, 4 completely customized closets, craft room built ins with butch block table top and bulletin backer for art. Needless to say, we absolutely can't get enough. Callie took my vision in each of these 14 projects to a reality, from concept to final drawings and material selection. I am always amazed by her ideas and attention to every detail of the design. Randy and the install team are top notch in every regard, from the quality of the work, to the material which is used, to the attention to detail and finishing the project seamlessly. I feel like Parz Designs team members genuinely cares about their work and want you to love the product, as if it was in their own home. I have not come across many teams like this and feel so lucky to have found them. **★★ — matthewmchen, June 2022** > $9k job. Pictures below: > 1\. Misaligned doors. Front view. > 2\. Same doors from the top. They can't close. > 3\. Crooked panels. As seen compared to a picture frame. > 4\. Gaps in several places. > > An apprentice was sent to do this $9k job by themselves. The owner offered to fix it but I decided to hire someone else to finish the job. **Comment from PARZ Designs:** > It was unfortunate we were not permitted to complete this job. As with all custom-built projects, we are hands on and stick with it until the customer is satisfied. In this review, please note, "The owner offered to fix it but I decided to hire someone else to finish the job." **★★★★★ — L J, Aug. 2020** > PARZ designed and installed cabinets in our living room, laundry room, and mud room. They provided several options for the design of the cabinets and worked to ensure our satisfaction. They were able to hire a plumber to install the sink in the laundry room. We are very pleased with the quality, craftsmanship, and service. **★★★★★ — Laurel Philibin, Nov. 2019** > Nothing beats a small family-based company. Randy and Callie worked in perfect tandem to make sure that the design was perfect for me. I needed 2 projects and they were able to complete both - installation of hardwood stairs and custom-built gorgeous media center/bookcases. During the installation, Randy mentioned that the nook was dark and wired the area for lights just in case I wanted to add them at a later date. I decided to move forward at the time, and I was so glad I made that decision. Their timeline was pretty spot-on, and the work was done before my family arrives for the holiday. **★★★★★ — Laura Kennington, Nov. 2019** > Callie is great! We looked all over to try to find someone that could create a wall of closets that looked more like a decorative wall and they did it! Very nice to work with as well! **★★★★★ — Kristen Chou, July 2019** > Callie and Parz Designs are top notch. I was referred to Callie and her team by a realtor friend and she came with high praises. My project was to transform an entry way room into a library with built in shelves, with pocket doors to separate the room. > > Callie came in and immediately aligned with my vision and added in her professional expertise on different options. When unexpected water damage occurred on my first floor, Callie and team were right there to help revise the plan, removed the damaged floors and did mold remediation, and completed the room renovation. > > The project, with the unexpected water damage, was done on time and on budget. The entire Parz team was professional, on time, tidy, and responsive. I cannot say enough great things about this team and I am already thinking of more home project ideas to bring them in again. > > 10/10 would recommend!! **★★★★★ — Jack M, Oct. 2018** > We couldn't be happier with the process and end result. > > We hired PARZ to create a built-in dresser to make better use of the upstairs space in our Cape Cod-style house. They also replaced a cheap group of cubbies, installed by the previous owner, with a beautiful banister > > From start to finish, Callie was responsive and willing to work with our budget and timeline. The craftsmanship and detail is extremely high quality, and we'll certainly keep them in mind for any future projects. ## Selected projects - [Gorgeous Bathroom Vanity and Floating Shelves](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gorgeous-bathroom-vanity-and-floating-shelves-pj-vj~7195192) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: A beautiful and modern custom-built bathroom vanity made of sturdy white oak.

I am planning to glue it with PL and then nail it on sides. Link to stair kit I would like to know if you think that this engineered tread will be sturdy enough for this application? These are dimensions of stair landing that I am planning to make so far: 3 inches wide and 37 inches in length. Please see pictures below. I also was thinking about making stair landing from stair nosing like below. I liked it because it’s made from solid oak and it seem that it will be much stronger and sturdier than engineered piece from the stair kit. That said however if engineered tread is strong enough I would rather install engineered one so that all my stairs look the same. Let me know what you think. Thank you, Ildasm A: The nosing is the best way to do it but the engineered can also work. **Q: Bench seats under windows - like them or hate them?** *(in Polls)* I've always thought I loved these bench seats under a window, however, now we are redoing our master bath/ bedroom and I was going to put one in the bedroom under our huge window and then closets on either side of the bench. Now that I look at pics of this type of set up it makes me feel like the window isn't as "open", it all just looks crowded. What do you think?? A: I think that it largely depends on the space whether it looks good or not. We have done probably 20 under window bench seats of all different sizes and style and each one is unique for the space. So as to not only add more functionality to the space but to enhance the look of the space as well. **Q: Stair treads** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you be able to say what are the measurements of the stair rise? Thank you. A: 7 1/2" each riser **Q: Need help with selecting pillows for my sectional** *(in Design Dilemma)* We got a new sectional from west elm ( Crosby sectional - marbled microfiber color - licorice). Our living room is painted with a Kelly Moore French sonnet. We have decided not to have any center table as we have a toddler who likes to run around. We do not have any paintings on the walls yet so our color choice is pretty open. Could you please suggest some colors for the pillows. A: Do you have any photos? And is the rest of your home fairly neutral or is there an existing color palette to integrate into? **Q: What goes in a morning room?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm getting conflicting info about what "should" go in a morning room. Our whole floor is open and we already have our dining table and chairs. I've heard some say the tv and others say just seating for conversation. The model home in our complex had sofas and chairs at both ends of the floor (living and morning rooms) but I feel like that's way too much. Any suggestions? A: Technically a "morning room" is just a sitting room. You can put anything you want in it, to be very liberal, seeing as it is your home. However, anything that makes it an inviting place to sit would be a direction I would suggest. What style is your home? You can make it very chic or relaxed or formal, and from there more specific design ideas can be given. You can also find a ton of ideas here - https://www.houzz.com/photos/morning-room-phbr0lbl-bl~l\_38655 **Q: Color scheme help. Blue, grey and ...brown?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have fallen in love with a comfy dark grey sectional couch and a glass dining room table with four different colored leather chairs. The living and dining rooms share a wall that I wanted to paint a rich blue (more like blue/grey than royal or navy blue) to tie the two rooms. Can I still have wooden end tables and tv stand in the living room? FYI, the dining room table stand is wooden. A: Yes, blue and brown are very much complimentary colors.
