A-Z WOODWORK

Description of Work: This project involved custom millwork of large panels of pressed bamboo. The entry hall was to be clad on both side walls with matching bamboo panels. The entry closet doors were to be matching panels, as was the powder room door opposite the closet doors, so when all doors were closed, the entry hall would look like a series of integrated panels. This work required too much precision for them to execute successfully, we now know. Another task was to build and install two sets of matching bamboo doors with invisible hinges. This task required several re-dos, and now we must live with certain compromises that would have been avoidable. A third task was to fabricate a desk and side table with matching bamboo finish. The result: the desk sits higher than spec'ed, its central drawer does not open as designed, the rear panel does not remove as designed (to access computer cables masked by panel), and the bamboo finish is bad quality (red glue seeps through seams of veneer). A fourth task was to build a custom headboard with integrated bamboo valence in the master bedroom. Again, finish is sub-par, with reddish streaks that cannot be removed because they are caused by the veneer glue. Other minor tasks included a cabinet in the living room, and a bookshelf in a guest room.

Description of Work: Fantastic job making custom cabinets. They liaised with the contractors and granite guys to ensure everything came together as it should - and it did.
