Portal describes itself on its website as a small millwork shop in Pine Plains, NY, led by Tomasz Low, a builder with a background in architecture who has spent years renovating old homes across the Hudson Valley. A recent customer wanted bookshelf work to match historic bookshelf designs elsewhere in the house. They wrote that it was not an easy task, with complex moldings and an unusual shape to fit everything into, praised the outcome and said they would work with the carpenter again.
The work produced for us was outstanding in craftsmanship and quality. We wanted to match historic bookshelf designs elsewhere in the house, and the outcome was perfect. It was not an easy task, with complex moldings and an unusual shape to fit everything into. We could not have found a better carpenter and would absolutely work with him again and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
