Hennig Custom Woodworking

We now have a third beautiful new closet designed and built by Jim Hennig and his team at Hennig Woodworking!! Jim is that rare individual who is truly nice, communicative, creative, reasonably priced and a meticulous master craftsman. Three years ago, Jim designed and built 2 closets and a built-in bookcase for us. We were so happy with that work that we didn’t consider anyone else to design and build our new closet. This project from beginning to end was perfect. He started and finished when he said he would and cleaned up as he worked. Just a great experience - We highly recommend Jim if you are considering any woodworking project. Many Thanks to Jim!

Very very happy with Jim Hennig and his team! Jim came to our home, listened carefully to our needs and designed a solution that was both cost effective and beautifully functional. Jim designed, built and installed 2 custom walk-in closets and also a built-in floor to ceiling bookcase. Jim's ideas, experience, creativity and craftsmanship are best in class. He was very communicative throughout the process and flexible with the timeline as we needed. The closets are all solid wood and have shelves, plenty of hanging space, hooks and a built-in dresser (the dresser is nicer than any dresser we have ever owned). They are just so nice - we love them. Jim transformed our home and made our lives easier. To top it off, we found Jim to be honest, hard-working, talented, and an all around nice person. I would absolutely and highly recommend Jim to all and extend our sincere thanks to Jim and his team!!!!

My husband and I absolutely love Jim Hennig’s work. We have been impressed by his talent, creativity and professionalism. What also made Jim special is his ability to “think outside the box” and trouble shooting when faced with any issues that have been in the way with our home renovation projects. He has helped us create some beautiful and functional furniture in our newly renovated home that suits our family perfectly. We first used Jim for a powder room renovation when we moved into our home in 2010. He was able to build us a custom vanity that was a perfect fit our unusually large 1st floor bathroom space. More recently, we used Jim on several jobs for a larger home renovation. After months of looking in stores and online for the perfect master bathroom vanity, we finally went to Jim and told him what we were looking for. He built us a gorgeous walnut double vanity that we would have never found at a store. Interestingly, while we were in his shop, another customer pointed out our finished vanity and told Jim that they wanted the exact same thing for their job! I attached picture for reference of this gorgeous piece of furniture. Next, we asked for Jim's help when we wanted to renovate a cramped laundry room. Our goal was to gain more storage space in this small room right off the kitchen. Jim was able to build us custom cabinetry for more storage than we could have ever dreamed for, while masterfully hiding some unsightly parts of the room. We now use this as mudroom, laundry room and extra pantry space. Also, Jim was able to design and construct a custom door for our new laundry room chute. I told JIm that I wanted the door to be unnoticeable. Since the walls were ship lapped, he suggested etching grooves in the door that line up with the ship lap on the walls. We went with this clever idea and we are so pleased with the outcome. The door has yet to be painted by our painters but once it is, I will post for others to view. In summary, we feel that Jim Hennig is an incredible wood worker and craftsman and we love his creativity and problem solving ability. We would not hesitate to recommend Jim to anyone looking for custom cabinetry and we we look forward to working with Jim again in the future.

We have worked with the owner, Jim Hennig for over thirty years on various projects. Recently we engaged his services to build new custom cabinets, shelves and entertainment center for our new home. The design, quality, craftsmanship and service from vision to installation was a seamless process. We know that working with Jim we will have invested in pieces that will last and serve their intended function and warm and beautify our home for years to come.

In short, while I am satisfied with the final product, Jim made what I had expected to be a simple kitchen island installation more painful than I could ever have possibly imagined in what ultimately became a 6+ month saga. We were referred to Jim through family and friends who had used him and had been impressed with his quality work (literally given him I am sure, tens of thousands of dollars for various custom work), though they warned that we would need to keep on top of him. We said OK but had not idea what we were in for. Ultimately it was over 6 months of missed deadlines, chasing via phone and leaving voicemails and emails, and unacceptable work product before our project was complete. We put down a 1/3 deposit in May, was told project would take 8-9 weeks, after 8 weeks we hadn't heard anything so we called and after repeated attempts reached Jim at week 9 and was told it would be another 3-4 weeks (he had another large project going on that was delayed but neglected to tell us this until we chased him once the original deadline had come and gone without a peep, and he never ordered the counter top and then when he finally did it was supposedly backordered which pushed timing out further). After much further chasing, including a conversation that this project NEEDED to completed before my wife gave birth (due date late October-->5 months from when we signed up, should never have been an issue for a kitchen island) and that I understood delays happen but I needed him to communicate with him so I wasn't in the dark, it wasn't until October 13 that the island was delivered and sadly it was wrong--the color wasn't even close (he admitted as much), and some of the drawers/panels didn't match the rest of the kitchen (see photos, this was the whole reason to pay for custom cabinetry in the first place). After another attempt and miss on the color, the island and counter were finally installed but we were still waiting on panels and a drawer front and fix to a gap in the backsplash. My wife gave birth soon after and we were busy with new parent stuff but after another 6 weeks when we hadn't heard anything about completion we reached out Jim via email (no response) and then again (no response) before he suddenly emailed my wife to ask if he could come by that day to finish. He ultimately finished the installation on Nov 30, a full 6 1/2 months after we signed the contract and gave him a deposit. Despite all the time wasted chasing Jim, my wife putting off work (she works from home) to be available for him, canceling and rescheduling our electrician (hired to run power to the island) when the project was finally complete we gave Jim a check for the full amount and moved on--we didn't ask for a discount, and he absolutely did not offer one for our troubles or do anything to acknowledge / compensate us for the trouble. I hate leaving bad reviews, and Jim seems like a nice guy (he apologized at points through the process and I think was embarrassed about how poorly everything went), and depsite the repeated mistakes I am happy to say that the final product looks good, but I really don't think this is how a professional should handle his clients and so I would struggle to ever recommend him.

I have just completed two bathroom renovations with Hennig Custom Woodworking. Jim was such a pleasure to work with. He designed and fabricated beautiful custom vanities and built in closets for our bedrooms.Everything was done with great creativity and professionalism. I would highly recommend Jim and look forward to working with him in the future.

Besides making beautiful and high quality cabinets, Hennig Woodwork was truly a pleasure to work with. My husband and I were extremely happy with all the work that was done in our home.

We have been dealing with this contractor for years and have also recommended him to clients who a looking for a reliable and trustworthy contractor. Very professional with a showroom to display his products.

Besides providing a quality and aesthetically pleasing finished product they were adept at measuring planning and offering options to enhance my vision.
