Cris is great to work with. Very responsive and professional. Very buttoned-up with scheduling and contract. Explained everything he was doing. Made great suggestions. High quality output. Works quickly and efficiently. We are very pleased with the project and we highly recommend Cris. He obviously cares about his work and is very talented! Thanks Cris!

The service we received from them was excellent. They were very expensive. He was a true professional. He gave a quote, the stuck to the quote, he gave the date that the services would be provided and he was timely. He did what he said he was gonna do and he did it for the price that he said he would charge. I would consider using them if I can afford them.

Cristofir was very accessible and open throughout the install process.  He is a great advisor and gives you honest feedback around materials, subcontractors and costs.  He was also extremely flexible and open to re-evaluation throughout the install process.  It took about 1 month to get the entire install complete, he managed himself and subcontractors for plumbing, HVAC and electrical.  He was great to work with!

We wanted  two existing, older half-bookcases, built-ins, extended from where they terminated at midwall down to the floor. We hoped to get this executed as seamlessly as possible, since they are in the living room.  Mr. Bradley was able to integrate the new, lower halves with the existing upper halves.  One cannot tell that there have been extensions or that the bottom half of each bookcase is 50 years' newer than the top. They look perfect.
     Although the quality of the wood used and of the work itself was high, our specifications to Mr. Bradley included adjustable - not fixed - shelves. This specification, combined with the high number of quite heavy books we confess we put on these shelves, recently caused one of the pins holding a certain shelf to tear out. This happened about 10 months after the original work. We called Mr. Bradley to tell him about this little problem and he came out immediately. He said he would replace the old pins with a more heavy-duty version. Then he noticed that one of these unusually long (46"), unusually heavy-laden shelves had a minor sway.  We had never noticed it. Of his own accord, he cut all new shelves -even thicker than the originals- and installed them today along with the new pins, at no additional charge to us. 
    Needless to say, we were very pleased with Mr. Bradley and the work he did for us.
   
    
    

Cris was wonderful to work with from start to finish.  He is prompt, courteous, and professional.  On top of all that, he is an exceptionally gifted craftsman.  His work is done precisely with lots of attention to detail and his pleasant, kind manner makes having work done in your home seem easy.  I would recommend him highly!  Now I wish I could find a painter with the same qualities!

Outstanding work.  True craftsman.

The experience was good.  He was great.  I don't think there is anything to improve upon.  He was very thorough and very professional.  He was very good to deal with.

He was very prompt with the original appointment and the design for the job. He used quality materials and tries to buy locally. The island turned out beautiful. He doesn't paint, so the product comes unfinished. Gave a lower rating on the price simply because he gave us a lower quote than what the final price was. But the product is very good quality. We would use him again in the future.

He was prompt in coming to my house to look at the project.  It took a little thought for him to come up with the solution for the re-design.  Unlike some of the previous reviews, I did not feel that we communicated very well and he was reluctant to give me an estimate for the work.  He did tell me his hourly fee and the fee of the person who does the *color matching* (which is an astonishing $100 per hour).  After a $100 deposit, he took my frame and that is where I personally made a big mistake by not nailing down the cost for the project.  When the project was finished I drove to his workshop to pick it up to speed things along since I was very anxious to have a light back in my kitchen and when he told me the cost I was absolutely shocked.  SERIOUS lesson learned here.... It cost roughly $900 to REPAIR a wooden box light fixture and redesign the base so it was removable.  Also he left a mark around the plastic base with permanant marker that would not come off.  I will say that the wooden frame redesign turned out very nice and it is very functional now but for the price of $900 I would think he could have bought me a new plastic base without the permanant marker that he put there and I would have thought he could have delivered it to me in a timely manner.  Learn from my mistake here... make sure you get a locked-in written estimate for the price and the time it will take on the front end.  He does good work but so do alot of other people.

Worked with him on a soft quote over the phone and agreed on a rate per hour.  Works diligently and his quality is very, very good. Prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Cris was very Prompt, Professional, Polite and Knowledgeable. He recommended a fast and cost effective way to get the closets and worked well together in designing  and ordering the material. his work was very meticulous and i absolutely loved his work.

wonderful experience from a true professional

This was a new project for Cris, and he did an amazing job!! He is very proactive and is very attentive to details. He was always on time, never difficult to reach, contacted us promptly if he had concerns/questions, and finished the project ahead of time. Cris is full of great ideas, and helped us solve problems with other aspects of this project, and improved on the original plan! Cris was very easy to work with, very professional, and the quality of his work is exceptional. The end result was far above what we were hoping for. Cris was able to take on a project that he had never done before and produce fantastic results!! He takes pride in his work, and it is evident when looking at the final product. I would highly recommend Cris for any cabinetry work, as well as any work related to cabinetry, and wood working. For a completely custom project, I feel that his pricing was very reasonable. This project was not in his usual vein of work, but he did a fantastic job, and was a pleasure to work with. I hope we have the chance to work with him again. Thank you Cris!

Cris was phenomenally responsive and professional.  One hour and half visit to review and measure.  One 3/4 day to complete work.  Price ended up being $50 less than original quote after ordering custom hinges.  Cris is a true professional.  Great work and cleanup.  I have added him to my "preferred provider" list for my home, and will recommend him to friends and family.

He called back very quickly after the initial call, provided a detailed drawing and estimate, and completed the work in a very timely fashion. We thought his pricing was a little on the high side, but the quality of work is excellent.  We will use his services again in the future.

Excellent craftmanship.

Cristofir was a "Joy" to work with. He was punctual, pleasant, knowledgeable, HONEST and thorough . I have never considered leaving a contractor alone in my home. I did with Cristofir (even left him with the key to my home) with NO exception. The work was done with exceptional care to detail. He is soo respectful. He is the BEST contractor I've ever dealt with. There isn't a close second. I highly recommend him. You will not be dissatisfied...

This was simply an excellent experience working with Cris. He responded promptly to my initial phone call. He came to my home, carefully listened to what I wanted custom built and took it upon himself to ask the appropriate questions to ensure his understanding. His attention to detail was first-class. He provided me an accurate, carefully prepared drawing of my piece, then came to my home a second time to review the drawing, confirm measurements and make sure I was satisfied per-construction. He took about two months to build the piece to perfection. He even took the time to put the piece together in his workshop to ensure it was correct and ensure his installation would go flawlessly on site. I now have a high quality, custom bookcase that looks like it has been in my older home for years. Well done...I could not be happier. Cris works start to finish on his own and believes he must do all the work himself to ensure top-quality. No question, you will receive top-quality product and service from Cris.

Cris seems to get better and more efficient with each project, and always looks for ways to make his work even more elegant, functional and artistic. We have several more projects in mind, and as soon as we have saved the funds, we have no question who will be back to do it for us. In the meantime, Cris is the only one we recommend to friends who need any of this kind of work.

We bought an old (c. 1900) home in which previous owners had altered many of the large doorways between foyer, living room, dining room, etc., and in the process had replaced the door casings with very plain and unattractive trim. Cristofir removed this and replaced it with custom-made trim which he matched as closely as possible to the original style that remains around the windows and some other doors (he also incorporated some existing plinth blocks from a no longer existing doorway upstairs). The results are wonderful, and the rooms now look significantly better. Others certainly gave lower estimates, but I'm confident that in terms of quality and as an investment in the house the work that Cristofir did is absolutely worth it. He is also very nice to work with, he's very knowledgeable, very flexible, and  very professional.
