Robert Carpenter, Designer

In January of 2016, a 75-year-old internal shower valve failed causing extensive water damage to a second floor bathroom and the kitchen below. It was immediately apparent that I was facing a total replacement of the kitchen and was truly overwhelmed. My General Contractor, Paul Snyder of Great Spaces Inc., referred me to Robert at Boyce Lumber to design the kitchen. After our first meeting, I knew we would work well together. Robert’s knowledge and years of experience gave me confidence that he would do an outstanding job. Knowing this and having a clean slate to work with, I created a vision. However, it was obvious that there were significant challenges. Matching the high quality of construction and design of the rest of the house was one challenge. Blending the adjacent Butler Pantry and laundry area to create a more functional and esthetically pleasing greater kitchen area was another. Robert was the perfect fit for meeting these challenges. His appreciation for the historic character of the house and his attention to detail were extremely valuable. We also worked with Carole Cummings, Function First Home Planning, whose expertise brought another level of support and compliment to the project. It was obvious that Robert took personal pride to ensure a great outcome which resulted in a kitchen that far exceeded my vision and expectations. Thank you Robert for a job extremely well done!

My husband and I were building a house for the first time. Our builder recommended Robert at Boyce Lumber for our kitchen and bathroom designs. Working with him worked out so well for us. Robert listened carefully to what we were thinking and was willing to make endless changes that we asked for. He was patient with my many many questions and always had good ideas. We are now in our home and absolutely love our kitchen and master bath! They are both functional and beautiful. Just for fun, when I list my 5 favorite things about our new house to our friends, the kitchen and master bath are always on the list. Thank you so much Robert!!

My husband I needed to re-do a small kitchen space and found Robert at Boyce Lumber to help design the space. As avid cooks we decided to update all appliances and use the small space that we had to our greatest advantage. Robert did an amazing job perfecting our vision, gave us alternatives and was simply just amazing. What could have been a tedious undertaking (all around Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays) turned out to be not too painful :-). Everyone who worked on our project was professional and informative; Robert put together a great team!
