G B Woodworking

Gary custom built a wall of floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets and shelves in the living room of our duplex-style condo in Charlestown in late December 2012. The end result was fantastic. It looks as though it should always have been there and we have excatly what we wanted in terms of functionality and style. From the begining of the project, Gary designed the space to take into consideration our needs, provided a detailed drawing of the layout, which allowed us to visualize the space. He listened to our requests and came up with solutions to make the overall plan functional and very visually appealing. The design included taking into account a depth limitation on upper cabinetry due to a sliding glass door in close promity to the area where the built-ins were installed. The cabinet design was a craftsman/mission style. The entire project was completed in a very quick timeframe from start to finish, with Gary putting in long days to complete the installation over a 2-day period so that we could have it completed prior to the holidays. Gary had great attention to detail and built into his design trim elements to make the finished work look extremely high-quality. He returned to put finishing touches on the job and to custom build a television mount to allow us to mount the tv in one of the built-in openings. Our condo is slanted a bit (due to settling) and he was able to take this into account in the installation with great results. The finish on the cabinets was beautifully done with a white finish he applied to the cut wood at his workshop, which we are very pleased with. Because the finish was applied before installation, we were able to use and enjoy the cabinets immediately once they were installed. I would highly recommend Gary as a very skilled woodworker, extremely professional, highly reliable and responsive.
