Christian was great! We already had the material for the project and he was willing to work with us. He was very prompt, professional, and helpful through email, phone, and in person. The railing required several custom cuts and looked amazing when he finished. He was spot with his estimated time to complete the project and cleaned up when he was finished. Very reasonable price for professional service & quality. I plan on using Christian again for other wood trim related products.

It went very good. Christian and his worker that he had working with him were very professional.  They were very clean and punctual.  They stained our new oak doors and replaced our trim throughout the house.
Response from Christian Strehle Inc
"The cost of the total job was $2800 (not $ 28,000)"

His price was very reasonable and lower than any other estimate I got.   Was very impressed with the quality and detail of work.  The door and wall flowed seamlessly with the rest of the room.

Prompt quote, started project when scheduled. kept me informed of daily progress, finished one day early. A bit more costly than other quotes but quality isn't cheap will use again. Glad i found him trustworthy, honest.

We got three quotes from Angie's List approved contractors. Chris's was the lowest and I also liked him the best. He started and finished the job on the dates promised. The work was superb, absolutely no complaints, and I am picky. He was friendly and professional. I would definitely use him again. I highly recommend him.

Chris provided a detailed proposal within a few days of his visit. He removed our mantle and lights and rewired the switch to give us canned lights that can be directed toward art on the mantle. 
He then built our cabinets and shelving, adding small detailed cubbies as well. We needed to stay on a budget so Chris offered several solutions for us.
I had directed Chris to keep the front of the mantle clean and simple, however, my husband decided that he needed more detail after everything had been installed. Chris created a small carved front for the mantle that he nailed/glued and painted and it looks fantastic.
Additionally, we had him use two paint colors and he was very precise about the edges.
While he was securing the banister railing, he asked me to go over every inch of the shelves and cabinets and paint to make sure it was done to my satisfaction.
We LOVE our room now - we're very happy.

He was a total professional and a pleasure to deal with.  Everything was done on time, on budget and to my total satisfaction. He is a true craftsman.

I had chosen most of the fixtures I wanted and Christian installed them and repainted. Small adjustments to the drywall and plumbing were needed during the installation which Christian took in stride and sorted out easily. Christian had to come back twice to finish off installing fixtures due to bad hardware in the boxes. He was very accommodating and polite the entire time.

Very good. Christian is reliable, honest. Everything you think a good German contractor should be. Hires good subs, good communicator. Best contractor we've worked with. Got him back for another project and heartily recommend him. Prices a bit high but his quality is good.
