Custom Bookcase Builders in Washington D.C.

“It was great working with Callie, Randy, and Pete! We did four projects, including three custom built-ins (a floor-to-ceiling living room unit, floor-to-ceiling stairway landing unit, and a coffee bar), and a new stair banister. It took a little under a year between the time we first discussed these projects and finished the installation. 1) They know their stuff. Callie has an excellent eye for design. She worked seamlessly with our vision, adding design ideas and suggesting color/handle/functional choices that has made our home much more livable. 2) Callie worked within our budget while still using high quality materials. She was able to use materials across projects to save us money while keeping the designs cohesive around the house. 3) Randy and Pete were very personable during installation, which took about 2.5 weeks, and paid close attention to detail. They rewired lighting for our floor-to-ceiling built-ins and patched everything up to look nice around the edges. We are looking forward to our next design work with PARZ already!”

“I am happy to write this letter in recommendation of Andrew, owner of Hammer Crafted, LLC. I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew on 3 projects: the renovation of our guest bathroom in the fall of 2009, our master bath in the fall of 2013 and the largest project of all, our kitchen this year, the fall of 2019. I recommend him highly and without reservation. Throughout the course of the renovations, Andrew was a professional. He was accurate in his initial assessment of the scale and cost of our project. He chose and managed the sub-contractors well. His opinions were sought and counted upon. Our jobs were done with care and precision. He is a gifted woodworker! In addition, he is extremely clean and tidy in the workplace. He and his assistants never left the worksite in disarray. They draped furniture, blocked hallways and vacuumed all drywall dust daily. Andrew takes special care to prevent any of the job dust from trailing throughout the house. The only complexity in working with a real craftsman is that, as he himself will tell you, good work takes time to complete. Andrew is a perfectionist. Although our projects took time to complete, we greatly enjoy the outcomes and appreciate aspects of the projects as works of art. I am available to answer any questions you or your clients may have. After the first bathroom we knew there would be no one else we would even consider for our home remodeling projects.”
