JM Custom Builds

JM Custom Builds is wonderful to work with. The design process is as inclusive as the homeowner or designer wants it to be. Materials are unique and have a back story, and custom furniture is built to the highest level of quality. John's expertise and knowledge are helpful in determining the best possible solution for the design process, and he instills confidence from inception to completion. He is so professional and never stodgy. An absolute joy to work with.

I hired JM Custom Builds to build me a floating shelf and a custom coffee table with hair pin legs. Everything turned out awesome! The wood he used is beautiful and has so much character. It adds great depth to my mid century modern styled space. John was great to work with, understood what I was looking for and built everything in a timely fashion. I'd highly recommend using JM Custom Builds. Check out the cutting boards too!

John created a spectacular dining room set for us! The finish in Kona (dark brown that's lighter than espresso) with hints of white peaking out fit what we were looking for - a modern, clean, aesthetic with a Scandinavian feel. Our table has a bench that seats three and 3 dining chairs covered in a light burlap fabric and trimmed in nail heads. The table has depth without being "heavy." We had a table from which we needed to graduate and serendipity allowed John's path to cross with ours and we couldn't be happier. He's great to work with, he takes pride in his craft, and he's talented.

We had the privilege of working with John Malecki on the interior design of our storefront property. His talents and vision are on such an elevated level we quickly empowered him to oversee the entire design of the space. He created custom pieces which seamlessly aligned our vision and philosophy with the entire ambiance of the space. An example of his excellent design is easily observed in one of his statement pieces within Levity. We tasked John with creating a barrier between the hustle and bustle of Pittsburgh and the tranquility of our float rooms. He easily conquered this task with the creation of an epic barn door, which weighs over 400 pounds. John matched repurposed wood to give the door a nice pop of various grains and textures. He also took it a step further by overlaying a treated metal replica of our logo matching the unique hues of the wood. His design of the door even ensures it easily slides for everyone entering into a place of sanctity. In addition to his high-level skills and vision, John is the definition of a professional. He used his time purposefully, worked diligently, and always displayed a positive attitude. There’s no reason to look anywhere else; John Malecki is an elite professional whose talents and builds will far exceed your expectations.

There really are not enough stars in order to rate the care, quality and craftsmanship JM Custom Builds and John put into the work they did for my law firm. My clients and the visitors to my office consistently complement the design and construction of the tables I am lucky enough to have in my office. No one in the world has the unique tables that John crafted for us. From the re-claimed wood tops to the tough industrial design of the legs, JM Custom Builds proved to us that old fashioned hard work coupled with the creativity of a modern artist, can truly provide a personalized design experience. We were so grateful for the care JM Custom Builds put into our experience. We are convinced that John really cared that we were impressed and happy with our furniture. Frankly, that selflessness is not very common in today's world. We can't wait for JM Custom Builds to get started on helping us design and construct some items for our family's home.

John made 4 pieces of furniture for us. All were custom builds. An end table, coffee table and custom table for our second home, and a coffee table made from old timbers for our primary home. In every case, John listened to what we had in mind, added his own creativity and exceeded our expectations. The coffee table in our primary home is the show piece of our living room...just beautiful! He also did everything right on schedule. Could not give a higher recommendation for John!
