Custom built-ins — a January 2026 review cites a built-in created from a plain wall
Kitchen shelving — a January 2026 review cites custom open shelving installed

In May 2025 mttrimco.com described Hulse Design Co. as a one-man operation tucked in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, specializing in woodworking, finish carpentry and custom-built spaces for residential clients. In a January 2026 review, a customer said Ryan installed custom open shelving in their kitchen. Another January 2026 reviewer wrote that Ryan “took a very plain wall and created the built in of my dreams”, and that there is so much additional storage space now. A January 2026 review described three custom projects with Ryan: two built-ins and a custom console table. Its own site says it delivers custom built ins and finish carpentry with a focus on clean lines and purposeful storage, in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. On Thumbtack the business says it has been working professionally in this field since 2018, and that page lists it as background checked.

Ryan installed custom open shelving in my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding— the entire project exceeded my expectations. His deep knowledge of his craft, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to sourcing the best possible materials clearly demonstrate the pride he takes in his work. What truly stood out was his dedication to customer satisfaction. He took the time to make sure everything was done correctly, explained the process along the way, and went above and beyond to ensure the final product exceeded my expectations. Any small adjustments needed were handled promptly and professionally. If you’re looking for someone who delivers high-quality work and genuinely cares about doing the job right, I would absolutely recommend Ryan for your next project without hesitation.

Ryan took a very plain wall and created the built in of my dreams. We have recieved so many compliments on what was originally a very boring wall (see before photo). There is so much additional storage space now. Ryan's work is top tier and I look forward to hiring him for future projects!
