### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-403880618, Dec. 2023**

> We had our kitchen cabinets partially replaced and painted. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The new cabinets were perfectly fitted to the space and the paint looks amazing. Jon and Karla made sure everything looked perfect and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend using Doyle Design.

**★★★★★ — bwschumer, Dec. 2022**

> We couldn't be happier! John designed and built an entertainment center for our living room that perfectly integrates with existing cabinets. John found elegant solutions to some tricky design problems. He sweats the small stuff, and it shows.  He and his wife Karla are a wonderful team and build to perfection. Next, they will be renovating the built-ins in our den. Worth the wait!

**★★★★★ — HU-959358616, June 2022**

> If there were a way to give 6 stars, I would have done it.  We have worked with John and Karla on various projects for 15+ years.  One of the things we loved about them from the beginning was the collaboration.  John and Karla took the time to sit down and get to know us and to understand what we wanted to achieve with the pieces they were designing and building.
>
> Over the years, they built a custom library to house our collection of 3,000 books as well as 9-foot-high breakfront to showcase more books and artwork.  Everything was designed around our collections and built to the highest standards.
>
> The craftsmanship and installation could not have been better.  If you need something built, John is the guy to do it.  He's a master craftsman and we recommend him and Karla without reservation.

**★★★★★ — HU-43086884, Jan. 2022**

> John and everyone at Doyle Design were fantastic to work with!  We had them build custom cabinets for a coat and shoe closet as well as built-in beds and storage cabinets.  John gave us great advice on design, he came over to measure 3 times to make sure he had it right.  We are thrilled with the results and would 100% recommend him and work with him on future projects.

**★★★★★ — sundown8181, Dec. 2021**

> Simply the BEST!! John and Karla are amazing to work with. They helped us realize our dream kitchen and front door. I will be using them for every project in my house that requires pure artistry with wood!

**★★★★★ — neha\_pa, Dec. 2020**

> John and Karla are true artists - they are incredibly talented and take great pride in their work and their worksmanship. The gorgeous and unique front door that they created for our new home is a work of art, and they are truly a pleasure to work with - responsive and attentive to every detail. We highly recommend them!!

**★★★★★ — HU-675811727, Oct. 2020**

> We couldn't be happier with the job John, Karla, and the team at Doyle Designs did in our living room (window seat, cabinetry and shelves on either side of a new fireplace).  Not only was the build, fit, and finish of the cabinetry first-rate, but the care and diligence in installation was beyond impressive.  From initial design to project completion, it was a pleasure working with Doyle Design.  John worked with us on the design (he had good ideas) and we then went to his workshop to finalize details and take a tour (we saw all their neat projects and met Karla, master of finishes).  Great care was taken by the team during the installation process to be sure everything was perfect and done correctly.  John also introduced us to a contractor to build the fireplace who took the same care and personal responsibility for quality as John and his crew do.  We were so impressed that we intend to use Doyle Design to build a vanity for a master bath makeover and do work in our kitchen.

**★★★★★ — Maryanne Ulmer, Sept. 2020**

> John and his team did a beautiful job on an entertainment center for our family room.  Nice people and great work.  Looks great in the room like it belongs there.  Hard to find this kind of work these days.

**★★★★★ — User, April 2020**

> John, Karla and their team are amazing. Their work is absolutely top notch, and John first sketches the designs on visualizing software so you can see just what it will look like. They built a custom kitchen and two bathroom vanities for me, and were able to pull off challenging details like a built-in paneled refrigerator, inset drawers, and a fumed finish on the oak.
> As a house-flipper for the past 8 years, I can attest that it's not often one finds people with such skill and tools, and who are a pleasure to work with to boot.

**★★★★★ — Bob Angstadt, Jan. 2020**

> John and Karla fabricated and helped me install two new box staircases in my house.  They pre-finished the oak treads and risers to compliment my new pre-finished bamboo floors perfectly.  They also made handrails to match the modern style and finish.  The staircase and finish have held up well since the installation, attesting to the fine workmanship that went into making and finishing the parts.  Truly a pleasure working with these skilled craftspeople.

**★★★★★ — DMC Group, LP, Jan. 2020**

> .I hired John to build and install a custom front door and custom closets for my bedroom.  The fabrication and installation is as professional as it gets.  I highly recommend his services.

**★★★★ — Daniel Braverman, Nov. 2019**

> OK, John and Karla may not be the fastest - BUT...
>
> Their woodwork is truly custom and really first-rate.
>
> I would strongly and fully recommend them for any project, large or small, where quality and appearance is tantamount!
