The Wood Shed

Duane built a home office for us in our family room and we love it! Right from the start it was easy to work with Duane. He communicates clearly. He listened to our wishes and provided additional suggestions that improved the project, which we appreciated. He sticks to his word. The quality of his workmanship is extraordinary. We highly recommend Duane for any project that you may have.

Duane built a beautiful buffet for my dining room. It is the nicest piece of furniture in my house. I will get more furniture built by him!

Duane did a great job building a hutch/desk for us. He listened carefully to what we wanted; and, was not annoyed when I asked him to make changes. He offered suggestions that would enhance the piece, but not necessarily the price. The piece was delivered exactly on time. The workmanship and quality of the piece is impeccable.

From the design phase through the installation Duane was professional, fun and thorough. What he designed and executed was beyond our expectations. He finished the project ahead of schedule and at a fair price. Will definitely hire him again.

Duane's love of wood and craftsmanship has kept him in my sights for many years. First with small projects, ultimately with one I'd leaned toward for more than a decade: a complete kitchen and master bath renovation. With Duane's help, our home is today lovelier and more functional than ever. And his hands have left a number of heirlooms as fixtures for generations to come.

Duane built and installed all new cabinets in my kitchen and master bathroom and I couldn't be happier with his work. He loves wood like people love chocolate! He built us a beautiful custom cabinet made of hickory for our master bath. If I ever move, I'm taking this cabinet with me. For our kitchen he built and installed beautiful white shaker-style cabinets and a gorgeous island and coffee bar. As we dived into our project, I changed my mind a few times about certain things and he was always up for the challenge. I highly recommend Duane!

Quality and craftsmanship! I am SO happy with the kitchen remodel that Duane did for my townhouse kitchen. He is a true professional with attention to detail! The existing kitchen had old, oak cabinets and a very "busy" backsplash and old countertops. The cabinets were repainted and Duane custom made the new shaker style cabinet doors, crown molding and peninsula cabinet for the center island/tabletop. He handled my project in a very timely manner with outstanding communication to assure my expectations were met. I HIGHLY recommend him for any of your remodeling needs!

Duane did a fantastic job on our mud room built-ins. The design exactly matched what we had been thinking about and the final product was even better than we had expected

This is the second job The Wood Shed has done for me. The first was approximately 10 yrs ago. It was a kitchen table & 4 chairs. Ten yrs later they are as beautiful as the day they were delivered. So this time I wanted Duane to build built in cabinets in my living room. The cabinets are perfect! They were installed on time & there were no surprise added expenses. I thought his fee was good, but my husband thought it was too expensive (he hadn't met Duane yet). I got three other estimates. Two were higher than The Wood Shed. The third company never got back to me! Of the two estimates I had (a higher one & a lower fee), I didn't like either projected plan & had problems communicating with both. Duane's attention to detail & the ease at which I was able to work with him shows in the completed project. He listened to what I wanted, showed me what it would look like & after talking about it he suggested a few things that made the cabinets fit our needs even better! These cabinets look like they are original to the house. The quality is excellent. I had no doubt that the cabinets would be exactly what I wanted. The first day of the job my husband called me at work to say "This guy really knows his stuff, he has everything figured out" & he even cleaned up at the end of the day. My husband was pleasantly surprised!

Duane Slaymaker is an incredibly creative, experienced and high-quality craftsman. When we hired him for our kitchen remodel, he was open to our ideas and offered knowledgeable suggestions that truly made our kitchen cabinetry unique, yet affordable. Duane was dependable and a pleasure to work with. I am very happy with our new kitchen cabinetry - so happy I can’t wait to hire him again for our next project!

We are absolutely in love with our entertainment cabinet that Duane Slaymaker made from 190 year old wood. We gave him an approximate picture of what we were looking for, and he did his magic. Not only do we love it, but everyone that visits is in "awe" as well. If you are looking for "over the top" customer service, and quality cabinetry Duane is the person to contact!

Duane the owner of The Wood Shed has built cabinetry for several of my projects. His attention to detail and craftsmanship meet all my expectations. Projects have ranged from vanities, to entire built in cabinetry walls.
