Ken built out a custom entertainment center, with custom cabinets, shelving, mantel and fireplace. Ken is a true craftsman and is responsive and professional. He uses quality materials and has a keen eye for detail. Ken's experience is why we chose to work him as it was apparent after speaking him that he could achieve our vision for the project. The project exceeded our expectations and we are enjoying our new room. Ken is easy to work with and meets his commitments with no surprises. I would highly recommend him anyone looking for custom woodworking. I can't thank him enough and wish I had more projects for him.

Ken built custom cabinets on either side of our fireplace. He was friendly and easy to work with. He gave updates of when he will begin the work and when he would need to come for measurements. The cabinets are beautiful and I cannot be happier that they are now installed.

Ken is responsive, punctual, professional, and (most importantly) great at what he does. Our basement cabinets and bar are perfect for the space, and we enjoy them every day. We have Ken to thank for that. I recommend him as highly as possible. If you need cabinets, hire Ken.

I cannot say enough positive things about Ken. He completely transformed our family room with a new custom mantel above our fireplace and an entire wall of built-ins. He made the process so easy, is so incredibly professional, and SO talented - I am still blown away. I honestly about cried when I saw the finished product. If I could give Ken 10 stars instead of 5, I would!

Hired Ken to extend the island in our kitchen as we didn't have enough counter space, and had no room for a kitchen table. Not only did Ken provide options for wood, he literally took a cabinet home so he could match the color of the wood in our cabinets. The extension now looks as if it was part of the original kitchen construction. The attention to detail, precision and know-how is crucial for carpentry work. Ken exhibited them all. Thanks for the addition Ken!

Ken did absolutely fantastic work. He built a new pantry for my kitchen while matching the stain for the current cabinets already their (no easy task!). He is very easy to work with and brought a high level of professionalism to the project. I would and will hire him again for my next project. Well done Ken! SM

Ken, brought experience, attention to detail, and advice to a custom entertainment center that is now the focal point of our living space. But even at eight feet high by nearly nearly nine feet wide the design and distressed paint finish is such that it would blend seamlessly into any room. He took a simple sketch of what we were looking for and brought experience to add the right touches to make it better. The finished assembly is such that you would think it is just one solid piece, yet, it was intelligently designed to the point I donâ t fear disassembling myself if we ever move. Working with Ken was easy. He was very quick in replying to our emailed questions. Met his project estimates both in time and price, and was extremely professional in his assembly, leaving our living room cleaner than how he found it. We will be using Ken again for a bedroom project we are already dreaming of.

Ken’s workmanship and customer service were unparalleled. Very few people we have hired through home advisor have exceeded our expectations. Ken Ruffer is one of those exceptions. Very happy with our floating cabinet.

Work has not been completed as yet. After our initial meeting, Ken promptly sent a very clear set of designs with a variety of options and costs. We have made a down payment to secure a place in Ken's schedule and are looking forward to having our bookcases installed and crown molding replaced in two rooms.

Ken was an absolute pleasure to work with. He built and installed custom wall shelves and cabinets, as well as crown modeling in our 1908 home. He payed attention to the smallest of details to ensure we were satisfied with the work. You wouldn't even know the cabinetry wasn't original to the house. He was professional in his communication and letting us know what the timeline was going to be. While we were in the selection process, he brought quality drawings to provide options that accurately represented the overall design. Highly recommended, and I would call him again without hesitation.
