After almost a year, I still walk into my kitchen stop, look around, and smile. Emery Design was stellar, I would hire them again and again and encourage friends and family to check them out for any home project. Ryan and his team are trustworthy, professional, very knowledgeable, immensely creative--they are passionate about what they do and it shows in every detail. Their craftsmanship is second to none. I can't thank them enough for surpassing all my expectations and creating our dream kitchen!

Ryan Emery and his team at Emery Design & Woodwork, were great to work with. They created an awesome living space out of our previously unfinished basement. The thing that stood out the most to us and differentiated them from the competition, was the creative designs that they presented to us. Then, once we awarded them the project, their craftsmanship and attention to detail was simply spectacular.

Ryan Emery and his team at Emery Design & Woodworking created a beautiful space for us in our lower level. We live on a lake and had asked him to install a kitchenette with a nautical theme. His creativity and imagination are expressed in his designs and prove his willingness to listen and his attention to detail. He was extremely easy to work with and we could not have been more pleased with the outcome. He is a very talented carpenter with a very qualified team of professionals that carry out the work on time and within budget. We would definitely recommend Emery Design & Woodworking for your next home project.

Emery Design & Woodwork remodeled our kitchen and guest bath. Ryan's eye for design is rare. We interviewed several designers and Ryan was the only one to truly think out of the box. Throughout the project it was clear he and his crew were detail oriented and took pride in their work. His team was professional, courteous and willing to work with any changes we had. A kitchen remodel is never easy to endure but Ryan and his team made it seamless. They understood the inconvenience of being without a kitchen and stayed on target with the project timeline.
I would, most certainly, recommend Emery Design.

I can highly recommend Emery Design & Woodwork based on working closely with them on a home design build project! The interaction with their team was very professional and creative. Their input into your choices of materials and finishes surpasses any other professional service in their space I have interacted with. Our work with them on finishing materials, construction process and kitchen design was exciting and the results, wonderful. They will ask you very thoughtful questions and start quickly on the project to ensure you meet the goals of your timeframe. They hand draw a rendering of the spaces that they handle and it really sparks your input! From our experience, they will be there on a moments notice to work through challenges that arrive during the build out and the end result will work, and work well.
To sum up, Emery Design & Woodwork is the first company I would suggest to someone looking to design any interior space in their dream home. One happy customer and family over here for sure!

We were very fortunate to be referred to Emery Design & Woodwork, who helped us to design and build the kitchen of our dreams.
Ryan's knowledge and creativity were evident from the first time we met, and we ultimately decided he was a good fit for our project.
He started our project on time, and it was completed within the timelines we initially discussed.
From start to finish, we were continuously impressed with his employees and subcontractors. All were knowledgeable, courteous, and trustworthy, showed up on time and worked hard.
Our kitchen project was complete in the fall of 2015. A couple of incidental things have come up since, and Ryan has always been easy to get a hold of and helped us to resolve the issues. Over a year later and we still love our amazing kitchen as much as we did the day it was complete.
His design and workmanship are impeccable and to know that he stands behind his work gives us additional peace of mind.
We are planning on finishing our basement within the next year or so and fully intend on using Emery Design & Woodwork to help us with this project as well.
Ryan and his team are the best!

My family was very pleased with the craftsmanship and professionalism of Emery Design and Woodwork. We hired them to design, build and install cabinets and a gas stone fireplace in our living room. Ryan worked with us to hone our vision, combining our aesthetic with the aesthetic of our historic home. He delivered multiple design renderings promptly, directed us to suppliers and helped us chose materials. When work began he checked in daily, and was always available for questions or concerns. The end result exceeded our expectations and we look forward to working with Emery Design team in the future.

Ryan is a very talented carpenter with an eye for the detail. He has a great vision for projects, attention to detail and ties in with decor of the home. Impressed with my experiences with him and the quality of his work. Ryan is part of a dying bread of contractors who actually do what they say and follow through with their work. You will not be disappointed.

Emery Design is professional, creative and a genuine pleasure to work with. We were fortunate to have them complete our kitchen, bar, butlers pantry and master bath cabinetry for our new custom home. Their work is meticulous, reasonable and terrific quality. We would highly recommend their services with no reservation.

Emery Design & Woodwork is pure quality. The first time Ryan came to our house he actually petted our wood fireplace mantle. We could tell right then that this was a young man we wanted to work with. Ryan and his crew have an eye for detail and for coming up with possibilities you hadn't imagined. The workmanship on our projects (3) has been impeccable. The entire company is filled with creative, considerate and kind young men. They make an incredible team. And! they clean up the area under construction better than I could each and every day of a project. Highly recommend this company. Whether you are looking at a smaller project or a larger one like a kitchen remodel or a basement redo or whatever, check Emery Design out. If we have another project, we will definitely call Emery Design. We trust them, they came through in the projected timeline, and the end products were superb each and every time. True craftsmen that you don't find often.

We were so amazed at the professionalism and service rendered to us in the completion of the lower level of our home. Ryan and the team of experts were nothing short of excellence in the work performed. The project was completed before the deadline. This team of professionals showed nothing but the highest quality of work performed. This team would be a welcomed addition to any project, large or small.

Excellent. I hired Ryan Emery for a complete kitchen remodel and great room fireplace replacement. I am pretty picky on the details both from project planning/timing to the quality of work. Emery did not disappoint in any way, everything from the initial design, electrical, wall removal, custom cabinets was done to perfection and regularly receive complements from any one who walks in. I do not give reviews normally however I would not hesitate to recommend Emery for any job.

We first met with Ryan Emery to discuss the design of our kitchen remodel. He listened carefully to our “wish list” and presented us with a magnificent design plan. Ryan is very intuitive and has remarkable foresight. His craftsmanship is meticulous and exquisite. Our new kitchen surpassed our expectations. We were so completely satisfied that we worked with Ryan on “phase two” and plan to work with him again. We recommend Emery Design and Woodwork without hesitation.

I have done three home projects with Emery Design & Woodwork. I was first drawn to their company after seeing the excellent results in a friend's home. The attention to detail and execution created a beautiful space. I had met with a few other contractors before finding Ryan and his team. Ryan listened to what I wanted and then took my ideas and expanded on them, bringing a creativity to the project that I just don't have. Some ideas worked, some didn't. The important part was the collaboration that resulted in a plan that works for our home and looks great! We now have updated bathrooms and kitchen that look great and are more functional. I would highly recommend Emery Design & Woodwork.

Love love love them! I cannot give a strong enough recommendation for Emery Design & Woodwork. I am a complete perfectionist and when it came to my dream kitchen, I had a specific vision in mind. We met with Ryan and he helped make that vision come to life. He listened carefully to what I was looking for, he made recommendations and creative suggestions based on his talent and expertise. From the first conversation about kitchen design, though the competition of the project Ryan and his team were professional, friendly and dependable. The showed up on time, worked extremely hard and cleaned up when they were leaving. They also went above and beyond with helping with other projects going on in the house. We had other contractors that were falling short, Ryan and his team saw an opportunity to help and they came through where other contractors failed. Their execution and attention to detail were flawless. Not to mention, they are just good people. The kind of people that you trust with an investment and project that is so important. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the final project and would highly recommend you consider working with Emery Woodwork & Design. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

We had Ryan design and built us a new island and desk/cabinet for our kitchen. He is a Wonderful craftsman, a pleasure to work with. Really pays attention to detail and a true artist with cabinetry. Both units were custom built of the finest materials and the finish work is gorgeous. Will definitely use for future projects and will recommend to friends. Ryan wants the customer to be satisfied and goes the extra mile to ensure the customer is pleased with the end result. He exceeded our expectations with our new cabinets! Also, he is on time with his project and is the quickest installer and remover I have ever met, and our family was in the building industry for many years. We also had a flooring issue we were unaware of that he helped us quickly solve even though it was not a part of the project. Everything about this project was overwhelmingly positive. We are really happy with our new island and desk/cabinet and look forward to working with him again on future projects in our home.

I hired Ryan and his company to completely remodel my lower level (including extensive woodwork, fireplace, bar, half bath and workout room.) He did a phenomenal job. His creativity and professionalism are second to none. Consequently, I hired him again to remodel my first floor (including removal of walls, updated fireplace surround, extensive moldings/columns/wainscoting, new mudroom and staircase bannister.) which resulted in another jewel. My home is transformed. I will work with Ryan again in the future. The project date and cost below reflect the update to my first floor.

We worked with excellent designers, Bailey and Shamoun, who work with Emery Design and Woodwork
We are very happy to have had the pleasure of working with Emery Design & Woodwork for several months during our extensive home renovation. Ryan Emery is not only a talented designer, he is also a fantastic craftsman, a wonderful person, and a very reliable project manager. If there were any problems at all during the renovations, Ryan would work very hard to see that they were corrected in a timely manner. Everyone who worked on his team was experienced, considerate, and a joy to have in our home. We're more than happy with the end results, and would absolutely look forward to working with him again. In fact we'd never go anywhere else!

We hired Ryan and his crew to completely remodel our master bath, bedroom and closet. We presented them with a concept and they perfectly brought the idea to completion. Ryan's attention to detail and creativity played a huge role in this project. The project was unique and Ryan went above and beyond in creating a one of a kind space. Everyone that sees the project is absolutely amazed. We have referred Emery Design and Woodwork to others and would not go forward with another home remodel project without Ryan and his team!

We hired Emery Design and Woodwork to do a total (down to the studs) kitchen and laundry room renovation. Project included several design options and discussions to ensure our wishes and expectations were incorporated. All workers from Emery and trades used by them were very professional and respectful. We were very pleased with the entire experience--so much so, we have recommended them to others and are considering a family room remodel with Emery Design and Woodwork.

I highly recommend Emery Design and Woodwork as Ryan was very knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. My project was a renovation due to water damage, destroying my kitchen and family room, which at the beginning seemed overwhelming but Ryan listened to my wants and ideas and then made them happen. He was easy to work with, always on time, and a true craftsman.

Ryan Emery and his crew were excellent.
The job was competed on time and slightly under budget.
Ryan provided the creative designs, demolition of the existing infrastructure, rough carpentry, finished carpentry, custom tile work including intricate stone flooring, shower, wine cellar and unique hand made stone wall surrounding a new fireplace. Also included in the project was a custom stairway, drop down ceiling projector screen, custom home theater and cabinetry, custom panelled walls, coffered ceiling, custom made 900 bottle wine cellar racking, including custom curved ceiling and flooring mouldings, and complete custom 20 foot bar with arches, ornate columns, tinted mirrors, custom tin ceiling, commercial coolers, 8 different beers on tap, freezers, ice maker, dishwasher, custom lighting and more.
Ryan also managed the heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, custom painting and staining, and all his other highly skilled, polite and professional tradesmen from start to finish.
The end result far exceeded our expectations. It was truly a pleasure working with Ryan and his team.
I highly recommend Emery Design and Woodwork.

Ryan Emery is by far the best professional I have worked with. He is creative and incredibly hard working. He was able to bring innovative ideas that transformed our space.
The quality and finsh of Ryan's work is outstanding and he ensures that the same quality is applied by all the contractors he is working with.
I have used Ryan for four major projects in my hoime, referred him to numerous friends, although his work essentially sells itself, and would no hesitate to have him work on my next project.

Emery Design & Woodwork (Ryan and his team) did an outstanding job on our stairway remodel!!! We went from drab white spindles & boring carpet to fab rod iron spindles and solid hardwood stairs. :) They were very polite, timely, courteous, conscientious, and paid great attention to detail. They finished the project in the time they promised (major bonus!). If we had questions they took the time to make sure we were satisfied. Ryan was always available to answer our questions and hear our suggestions (and, believe me, we are very particular with our home!). Last minute changes weren't an issue for this team - they really wanted to make the customer happy (and they definitely did!). :) Bottom line - they were fabulous to work with and our stairway is now transformed into a lovely showcase!!! :) Thanks again, Ryan and team, you guys are true professionals!!! :)
