Mike is a designer AND carpenter. --- Jessica S., Champaign IL

I absolutely loved working with Mike and recommend him to anyone wanting to do a creative home project! I worked with Mike on a kitchen renovation, which included replacement of three doors. * Sophisticated and smart design: I always thought my original kitchen felt frenetic, but I didn’t know why. Mike’s knowledge of design helped me understand what was wrong and how to fix it. My kitchen is now light, calm and peaceful! Mike is a designer AND carpenter. * Creative problem solving: My original kitchen had a bathroom attached in an awkward position. Mike came up with a solution that made the kitchen-bathroom transition natural and seamless. * Precision and attention to detail: Mike is a perfectionist! No cutting corners here. Everything is clean and exact. * Innovation and technology: Mike does research on the latest products (tools, materials, everything) to ensure that everything is top quality. The materials we chose ensured long term use. This kitchen is built to last. * Great listener: Mike listened to what I wanted and always followed up on my dreams and wishes. Sometimes I missed an email or text, but he would always follow-up! We made a great team and I’m really looking forward to working with him on future projects!! --- Jessica S., Champaign, IL

Bending the rules --- In theory, crown molding cannot change directions in two planes at once without addition of a transition element. Good thing I didn't know that when I ran crown around the bedroom below ... :-) (The trick, not always possible, pending shape of the crown section, is to alter the spring angle to make the unequal projected sections line up.)
