MAB Woodworking is an Auburn, Massachusetts woodworker listed on Angi, where it holds a 4.9-star rating from 22 ratings. In a 2026 review, a customer said Michael Butler, whom they called the MAB founder, visited their home to plan moving kitchen cabinets to fit a new 36-inch counter-depth refrigerator, then came back two days later and completed the work on time and on budget. A 2025 customer said Michael constructed a pergola for them. A 2025 reviewer wrote that their deck turned out beautiful and sturdy and credited Michael Butler's skill. A 2025 customer said Michael installed French doors in their home and was efficient and tidy. In a 2024 review, a customer said Michael made them a custom board and had it to them within one week. A 2025 customer said the cabinets Michael made were well made, but that he did not pay much attention to the designer's detailed drawings and did not verify as-built conditions. That 2025 customer said one cabinet was incorrectly sized, some floating shelves they provided were incorrectly installed, and they had to pay an additional fee because the work had not been included in the original quote. The same 2025 customer called communication and adherence to the promised schedule inconsistent and said they would not hire him again.
Did an extremely high-quality, professional job. Came up with creative solutions to problems that worked wonderfully. Everything was on time and on budget. Strongly recommend!
MAB Woodworking responded to our online request for kitchen cabinet remodeling to accommodate a new current model refrigerator. Our 45 year old Amana refrigerator died suddenly & no modern refrigerator could fit into the existing built-in space. Ugh! Michael Butler, MAB founder, visited our home first to scope out a vision for moving the cabinets to allow room for a new KitcenAid 36” counter depth refrigerator. Michael sensed our urgency, immediately scheduled the repair, giving us a firm date for refrigerator install & appeared two days later completing the work on time & on budget.

Michael is a wood-building artist who constructed an incredibly beautiful and sturdy pergola for us. It was a pleasure meeting and working with him. We would gladly hire Michael for future projects.
The cabinets themselves were very well made, but the process and other aspects of the experience were less than great. Michael didn't pay much attention to the detailed drawings or project parameters provided by the designer, and didn't verify as-built conditions. As a result one of the cabinets was incorrectly sized and some floating shelves I provided were incorrectly installed. Because they hadn’t been included in the original quote, I had to pay an additional fee. Additionally ,communication and adherence to promised schedule and deadlines was inconsistent. Michael is a nice guy and I can tell he’s capable of doing some very good work, but I wouldn’t hire him again based on this experience.
The deck turned out beautiful. Michael Butler is a superb woodworker, craftsman, and artist. His impressive skill and expertise made our deck both beautiful and sturdy.
