Custom Furniture Builders in North Carolina

“All we wanted to do was paint the exterior of our house. But our painting contractor uncovered some hail damage, which had caused significant water-related structural damage, which is why we hired a well-respected residential construction company in Omaha. Mike Whitham was the foreman who was given the responsibility of rebuilding our house. But Mike wasn't just any foreman. Mike was a hands-on hammer-swinging master carpenter who knew how to get the job done right. Mike, along with the crew he led, worked in our home five days a week for 5½ months! During that time Mike and his crew removed the stucco siding from our house, repaired the water-related structural damage, replaced the windows and doors, removed the old roof, and installed a new hail resistant roof, added new gutters, and finished it off with sandstone and cedar shingles! We invested over $500,000 in the finished project, and saw our house completely transformed into something gorgeous! Perhaps the best part for us was that during the 5½ months, Mike became more than a foreman; Mike became a friend. We trusted Mike so much we left him the keys to our house and went on a two-week vacation. Sadly, due to an amazing opportunity, Mike and his family relocated to Charlotte. We say sadly, because he started the project as a construction foreman and ended as a family friend. Our loss is Charlotte's gain. Therefore, if you're looking to hire a contractor who will show up on time every day until the job is finished, keep his word, and AMAZE you with the quality of his work, then hire Mike Whitham. —Michael & Lynn Clouse Bennington, Nebraska”

“We've used Northern South Woodworks for several of our woodworking needs. For our two projects, we never thought it would be possible to rework our cabinets to fit our needs. Not only did Anderson meet our needs, he made them look as though they always belonged. Our most recent project was a picture of a bar cart that I found online. I sent the picture and he built it to look even better than what could be seen from the image. He are coming up with as many wood working projects as possible, as we know Anderson will meet and beat all of our hopes and expectations. Overall, 10/10 recommendations!”

“I hired Paul to update my 1950s kitchen. The room was barely larger than a closet, with minimal storage and an inefficient layout. I had a very modest budget and only a vague idea of what I wanted (no granite, nothing too generic). Paul was able to find creative solutions to the limitations of my wallet and the unexpected surprises that crop up in an older home remodel. He managed to open up the room and maximize the storage space. Almost everything added was custom-made to fit the space and reflect my style, including a beautiful built-in cutting board. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work. The job wasn't over until he was sure I was satisfied with every change. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I would not hesitate to hire Paul again.”

“Jeff Johnson Timberframes constructed the timber frame front on our new house as well as a 2 car carport. The house is now 7 years old and the construction has been without problems. Excellent job. I would recommend Jeff Johnson Timber frames to anyone.”

“It was a great experience working with Chris Mills and his wife Amy. They are the perfect Pairing in that Chris has the expertise in carpentry, installing tile, and using his hands to create. Amy has the ability to take your space and come up with visual blueprints and work with your personal tastes by showing tons of visuals found online and that they have done in the past. Chris and Amy are punctual, kept us informed of the process, and we felt very comfortable having them in our home around our dogs and young children. We have worked with Mills Home Improvement building and installing custom built ins and also replacing backsplash in our kitchen. We will definitely keep use them again.”

“Deft and Level designed and refinished our walk-up attic. Skinny (the owner) designed a custom built desk and shelves -- which are a work of art. He also did all the electric, oversaw the insulation and the carpet installation, hung dry-wall, and installed a new giant window complete with a window seat. My husband and I could not be happier with the renovation. Skinny was meticulous with every detail, good at communicating timelines, and extremely affordable. I highly recommend him.”

“I renovated my condo last year, and was unable to find a general contractor who had time to handle it for me (relatively speaking, it wasn't that big a job), so ended up subbing it out myself. Milton was recommended to me for cabinet woodwork and painting, and I contracted with him for the following items: Upgrade existing kitchen and bath cabinets, rework the cabinets above the microhood, build in a shelf at the top of the kitchen cabinets, remodel the kitchen island, demo existing bathroom cabinet and replace it, and install the new kitchen appliances. His contract price for the work was $4,800, and his workmanship was very good. But what made it so good to work with him is that he was willing to schedule in and around as I was able to schedule with the electrician, plumber and countertop installation. I had already contracted with a painter, but when I had to do some sheetrock work after the fact, Milton did the sheetrock repair and painted it. Something else that I appreciated was how clean he left things every day when he left. Additionally, all of the work would have moved much more quickly if a GC could have scheduled some of his crew guys in and out back-to-back as needed. But, because everyone was very busy, I had to schedule them as I could get them in and around their other jobs, and it really stretched things out. I really appreciated Milton's patience in scheduling around the others for each step of his work. In our discussions, I know he was anticipating 3 or 4 trips to do the full job, but it ended up taking double that before it was all said and done, which I know cost him in unexpected time and labor, and although I offered to re-discuss the contract price, he stuck with the original quote for everything. Also, and outside of the initial contract, I wanted my bedroom furniture painted and asked him if he would do it. He took everything to his shop, where he could strip/sand off the finish, prime and spray paint it and he did a wonderful job, of that, too. All total, taking the furniture, painting it, and returning and setting it up was $2,000, and I love it! Lastly, I live in a 3rd floor walk-up in a center city neighborhood with tight parking. Everything had to be hauled up and down three flights of stairs, and NOT from a parking area right in front of the building. What I'm saying is that I appreciated the unfailingly cheerful attitude as much as I did the workmanship, and I would definitely use Milton again.”

“Once again Brian was able to complete a custom project for us. This time he built sturdy bunk beds with storage that will last us forever. We are more then happy with his work and would highly recommend him for any of your custom wood working projects!”

“Paul Distante one of the owners that I dealt with was great. He came out within a day and looked at our project. It was adding french doors to our dining room that we were making into a reading/office space. He recommended what would look nice there. As true to his word, we had our estimate after the weekend. He picked up all the materials so we did not have to worry about that. He has now completed the work. He is very friendly, professional and answers test messages very promptly. I would definitely hire him again and have many more projects to do in our house.”

“Andre and Sergey (hope Im soelling correctly) saved my Master Bedroom. I had hired someone highly rated on a home improvement app to install trim and i came home to a nightmare. Andre came and totalky turned around a disaster. The trim is perfect! He will be installing tin ceiling tiles on my tray and ill posting pics once thats done. Its such a relief to have found someone who pays attention to detail and goes out of the way to make sure the job is perfect! thanks”
