Stefan craftsmanship, quality and professionalism do not meet minimal industry standards

Again, simply spectacular. I was impressed from the quality of SHP when they did other projects in our home 2 years ago. This time we needed our kitchen to be remodeled and they did great again. This company is unique in a way- they are incredible woodworkers and cabinet makers and at the same time they are the construction managers.This results in unparalleled quality. They are completely hands on project, they are trustworthy, all of their cabinetry is made in house and there are really no limits for what they can build for you. Would highly recommend Stefan and his team.

We could not be happier with our experience with SHP. They did an outstanding job on our kitchen remodel and home office and we have nothing but positive thoughts to say about Stefan and his team. Stefan goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect and really the quality of anything they do is absolutely phenomenal. The subcontractors they hired were professional and polite. The vision, the design, the craftsmanship is top notch. This guys are more of an artists than contractors and our home is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. I would highly recommend anyone considering any type of home remodel to contact SHP Fine Carpentry. I look forward to work with them on my next project.

Stefan did an excellent job, we love our new bookcase. We had an opening in the wall of our living area that was a designated space for a bookcase. We needed one built that would fit into this space and would also enhance the design of the open living area. Stefan reviewed the space with us and recommended the design. He took great care in building and installing the bookcase. Stefan is professional, reliable, and does excellent work. We would definitely hire Stefan again.

Stefan is excellent! After a great experience with him building a custom mudroom and built in cabinet in our family room, we called him back to advise us on a few smaller outstanding projects we had around the house. He carefully explained what would be possible and what wouldn’t be worth it to save us time and money. In the end, he did a beautiful job inserting shelves into an awkward alcove in our daughter’s room. It fit so well it looks like the shelves were always there. All this for a very fair price. A big thanks to Stefan!
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"Thank you so much for taking your time to write us a review [Member Name Removed]. I am so glad that you are happy with how this project worked out. This little alcove spaces are perfect to be utilised for shelves or cabinets and you can get a really great use of them. This project is a perfect example of something that I cannot stress enough when talking with clients- in every project there are always different paths you can take, especially in custom cabinetry and woodworking, and what I always try to communicate first is to determine, what approach would make most sense in a particular situation. To determine this approach is something that ultimately will make a project successful or not and this things happen at the very early stages, when we are still discussing the idea of building something. There are all kind of factors that need to be taken into consideration and this is something that I take really seriously. In many cases, just like with your kids room cabinet I am asking myself- how can I make a maximum impact, add value while keeping the budget in mind. It’s one thing to build a kitchen or entertainment center and another to do something that’s more, tucked away, so to say. At the end of the day though, no matter how small or big is a given project, it has to be perfect and of really high quality and I think we were successful in this respect as well. Thanks for choosing to work with us again [Member Name Removed] and mostly, thank you for your trust."

Working with Stefan was a pleasure. His work was excellent and we are very happy with how the staircase turned out. Once the project began, he kept the project moving along quickly, never missing even a day. As options presented themselves, he communicated them well, giving us pros and cons of the various decisions along the way. I would gladly hire Stefan and his crew again without hesitation.
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"Thank you for your business [Member Name Removed], I am really glad with how your staircase came out and I wish you to use it and enjoy it for many years to come. Best Regards"

Stefan is excellent. He is very diligent about doing the work perfectly. He has a great eye of detail. His craftsmanship is super and we are so happy with the new custom built in cabinet and mud room in our home.

We hired Stefan to construct a large built-in bookcase. It looks great! Stefan was great on the design phase, where he had a lot of very helpful suggestions, and during construction he was very diligent to make sure everything looked perfect. The project was just finished, very happy with it.
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"The whole team wants to thank you [Member Name Removed] and [Member Name Removed] for your trust and for giving us the opportunity to design and build a very significant piece of your home. I know you’ll make it a great harbor for the many books that you have and it’ll be cherished for generations. To some this library may look simple, but in reality it is a pretty complex project in every aspect-design, building, installation and finishing. This is a high quality custom piece that requires great level of commitment,craftsmanship and hard work.This is what we do for our clients. Thank you again for your business and we’ll be glad to work again in future."

Stefan did an excellent job. He is a perfectionist and very detail oriented. The site was completely cleaned up at the end of each day. This is the second time that I have used Stefan and I will definitely use him again. I recommend him without reservation.
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"Thanks for the kind words [Member Name Removed]. I think we succeeded to deliver a high quality product within a certain budget and we did it In a variety of projects, such as building a custom mahogany railings, new set of stairs in the basement and replacing the entire gutter system and all facia boards with new ones. Now your home is good for years to come. Should you need any quality work done in future projects you know how to find me. Thank you for your business!"

Stefan is wonderful - extremely professional and nice. He did a great job on my kitchen cabinets. It's the sort of job that needs an eye for detail which he definitely has. The price was really good and he kept to his estimate even when my old and uneven kitchen caused things to take a whole extra day than expected. He even cleaned/vacuumed when he was done and I think my kitchen is cleaner than it was to begin with. Quick and easy communication and was able to get something scheduled really quickly. Would absolutely hire again!

I'm an anesthesiologist, and I tend to expect everyone to bring the same level of obsession and precision to their work that I bring to the operating room. In general, I have been disappointed by the home improvement industry, but Stefan is a wonderful exception. From the very beginning, he was responsive, honest, and dependable. When I mentioned off-hand that I couldn't meet on a certain day because it was my daughter's birthday, he showed up with a birthday present at our next meeting. His work is beyond perfection, and he brought my little sketch of a home office to life more beautifully that I could ever have imagined (see pictures). Details that I never even knew to consider were thought out to perfection with executed with surgical precision. I look forward to working with Stefan again in the coming years on a few bathrooms and a kitchen. There is no one else I would hire to do carpentry or cabinetry in my home.
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"Thank you, [Member Name Removed], for the kind words, for the trust and opportunity to build this project for you. I am personally very happy with the outcome as well and have to say you truly deserve this. I always say that it takes two to tango and without your support this project was not going to be what it is today. I wish you to use it for many years to come and for our future projects I want you to know that we will exceed your expectations again.I look forward to work with you again.Thank you"

I have used SHP FINE CARPENTRY for couple of custom built in cabinet projects already and cannot tell how happy I am with the overall experience. Would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for high quality custom millwork and cabinets. The other great thing is they do everything from design to completion, which makes everything so much easier. You have to deal only with one contractor.
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"I am glad you are happy with the outcome Kamey. Should you need our help in future don’t hesitate to contact us. Best regards"

Outstanding quality and workmanship. Working with SHP was a pleasure throughout the entire project. We had a very unique design & idea and Stefan made it come to life!!! It was also great to work with 1 contractor - he truly took care of everything for us, from design to finish/completion. If you are looking for high quality millwork & cabinetry craftsmanship with an even higher customer service detail, then go with SHP Carpentry!!! You will not regret it
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"Hi [Member Name Removed], your words are too kind. Without the trust of our customers we will not be able to go far and here I want to say big Thank You to all our clients for the support and trust. There are a lot more great things to come."

Stefan is a true craftsman, and he performed outstanding work. He was prompt and responsive, and he left my house immaculate. I knew I wanted built in bookcases, but didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. Stefan came up with a few designs for me to choose from, and gave me good advice on what would work in my space. His prices were not the cheapest of the carpenters I contacted, but I wanted a high quality product that would enhance the design of my home. Stefan really delivered.
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"[Member Name Removed], I want to thank you for the opportunity, to build this project for you and for your trust and for how easy was to work with you.

Not well. Met and reviewed scope. Paid for drawings, which didn't have dimensions - just artistic work- and received a quote to build the cabinets. Communicated anticipated start date (in 4 months from date of conversation) and he agreed. Contacted him at the time discussed (4 months later). He showed up to scope and said he made a mistake on the quote - that the price was double - and he didn't have time to do the work. We lost 6 months of time on a renovation project to have these cabinets built while the place was under construction. We had to move in without cabinets. What a waste of time and money.
Response from SHP Fine Carpentry Inc
"Hi [Member Name Removed], I am very surprised to hear that from you after over 18 months since I last saw you. First I don’t know where the 500$ you are claiming it cost you for my consultation, because you bought the deal for design and consultation from Angies List and it was for 49$ and I haven’t gotten a dime more than that.Hope that extra 0 was a mistake. Also the time line is very incorrect and misleading- after you claim the deal for 49$ I was ready to come and talk right away, but you weren’t ready and I have your emails and can easily prove this is not the case. To sum things up I came to your house three(3) times where we discuss things and I presented you with 3D renderings of the cabinets, the way they would look in your particular living room and you said they “look beautiful”. The only thing that’s accurate in what you are saying is that I made a mistake with the estimate, quoting 1 cabinet instead of 2 and I admit that mistake and I apologised you in person, in your home. That however was prior of starting any actual work and if it harm anyone that was mostly myself. After that you never said that you want me to proceed with the work and I was left with the impression that you don’t want to get into business with me, which I am totally fine with and I understand, but to make this statements here after all this time and after the efforts I put into designing and consulting you is really not best I can expect from you and I don’t see where is all this frustration coming from. I spent my time and gave you so much information, that most contractors are never going to bother to do.However I am sure you gonna find the right person to get this project build for you and I want to wish you luck moving forward. We have 95% extremely happy customers, but I guess we can’t make happy everyone not matter what we do."

We found Stefan from the reviews and photos of his work on Angie's list. He was terrific. I did not know that it is more difficult for a cabinetmaker to install premade cabinets rather than do all the work on site, but Stefan was able to work with the designer and us to make sure every issue was resolved to our satisfaction. His craftsmanship is excellent. As the daughter of a professional luxury boatbuilder and home renovator, I am very picky about work meeting my dad's standards. In addition, Stefan had all the qualities we want from people working on our home. He is professional and pleasant to have around the house. His projections of when he could start the job and how long it would take were right on target. He was meticulous about cleaning up the work area every night and even exceeded my expectations of returning the garage we had used to store the cabinets to it's original condition when he had finished. I think we will probably need more builtin cabinetry in a basement renovation we will be doing. I am certain we will turn to Stefan first for this new project. I can't say enough about how happy we were with his work.

We are very happy with the work performed by SHP Fine Carpentry. Stefan was genuinely interested in the problems we were trying to solve with the project, and suggested wonderful solutions. They arranged for an electrician to do the electrical work, and that work was also well done. The cabinets and shelves built look fantastic and did solve our storage problem. We will contact SHP Fine Carpentry first for any future carpentry projects.

Stefan was great in that he identified exactly what needed to be done to get to the quality that we wanted. Instead of just trying to tinker around the edges he explained why the drawers needed to built anew. We had tried to adjust them in the past which did not work. He was very professional in explaining the work, billing us, giving us a timeline and getting the job done on time with minimal supervision. I did not have to chase after him at all.
