GB Woodworking recently constructed a built-in media center in our living room. The final product exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly happy with the outcome. It gives the room a much more polished look. Gary was incredibly professional, responsive, and gave good advice and options regarding design choice. I would recommend working with Gary and his team!

Comment from G. B. Woodworking:
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you!
Gary built us a gorgeous wall of built-in cabinetry and bookshelves around a window in my dining room area. Gary is an absolute pleasure to work with! He is a gentleman and a professional. He knew what I needed and exactly how it should look much better than I did. He gave me great suggestions and he was spot on. The wall unit is simply stunning, and probably the nicest thing in my entire house. I had dreamed about having this done for years, and the outcome exceeded my expectations because of Gary's eye for every tiny detail. With Gary, you know that you are working with a true master of his craft. Crooked walls, ceilings and old houses pose no problem for him. If you are looking to have a project done, I highly recommend Gary Barcus. My project was completed the beginning of 2021, and I'm here looking at Gary's projects while I dream up the next thing I'd love him to build for us.

Gary built bookcases for us in our living room and also in our master bedroom, both of which contain spaces for a television. He was very easy to work with, clear as to what he was proposing to do, and was happy to make minor changes during the planning process. He also had great ideas for how the end product should look. The installation was trouble-free and quick, and the results are wonderful. They exceed my expectations.
Both he and his helper were very easy to have around. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Gary is a fantastic cabinetmaker and his work is high of the highest quality. He made our small apartment both more functional and more beautiful.
Gary refined the design and crafted several elements. He built “window seat” books cases and enclosed HVAC units. He built pivoting bookcases to conceal a utility closet. He crafted a Murphy bed and storage units that when closed, look like a paneled wall. And finally, he crafted double doors that when open, conceal a closet and space for art. Each element displays an elegance and simplicity that set a gracious tone for the apartment. The most difficult for Gary was making each unit look effortless while working in an apartment hopelessly out of square.
Throughout it all, Gary was collaborative and wonderful to work with. We can’t recommend him more highly.

GB Woodworking designed and built a custom corner entertainment center for our living room, and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Gary was extremely courteous and responsive throughout the process, and always went the extra mile to ensure that we were satisfied his work. He listened to our requests, while also sharing his ideas for how to work with the space. Gary drew up a design that fit beautifully with the space in our living room, matching the details perfectly to the moldings and trim of our living room. We have already received so many compliments on his work, with many people commenting that it looks as though the piece is original to the house. You can tell that Gary is a true craftsman and takes pride in his work, and we highly recommend GB Woodworking.

The experience with G.B. Woodworking was a wonderful example of perfect service and dedication to great business practice from beginning to end.
Gary was responsive to my requests and right away gave me some ideas. He worked with me through the entire process and tweaked my built ins to perfectly suit my needs. He was meticulous in his details and it was evident in the finished product.
He and his partner, Owen, worked tirelessly and carefully to create a unique, finely made product. They were polite and neat as they worked in my house for several days. Gary and Owen are truly craftsmen and built beautiful pieces to complete my house with perfected touches.
I now have a gorgeous dining hutch with a desk, two shelf cabinets, an LP cabinet and storage and a beautiful bar. I could not be happier!

I contracted Gary after several very positive recommendations from neighbors. The attention to detail, vision, communication skills, and responsiveness are of the highest quality. He installed, a desk unit attached to cabinetry and glass enclosures to my living room. We spent many hours together, planning and discussing this custom unit. The finished product is impeccable. I highly recommendation this truly talented custom cabinetry woodworker.

Gary is the best contractor we've ever worked with. We had him create and install a wall-to-wall bookshelf in our dining room, plus some storage. We are SO HAPPY with the end result, it was EXACTLY what we had envisioned. The process was an A+ experience as well. At every interaction point he was prepared and 100% accurate with his estimates (cost and timeframe). The installs were brief and he cleans up as if he was never there. His communication far exceeds any other contractor we've worked with. For example, after the first install we had an email waiting for us in our inboxes about next steps. He's the best.

GB Woodworking was extremely professional and we were very happy we went with them. They delivered a very well made, high quality custom piece to us on time and on budget. Throughout the process they also showed up when they said they were, which was a relief. If you want to go with high quality, we would highly recommend GB Woodworking to everyone, you will not be disappointed.
