Red Tail Woodworking - Scituate, MA

Red Tail Woodworking is a small, in-house cabinetry and furniture shop working out of a workshop in Pembroke for South Shore clients, and by every account since 2023 the person doing the work is Mike, sometimes joined by teammates like Nick. Reviewers keep circling back to the same thing: how much back-and-forth Mike is willing to do to get a design right, whether that's a mudroom built-in reworked through several iterations or a custom dining table. The written record is deep and largely one-sided. Of 18 Google reviews dating back to 2023, all but one run 4 or 5 stars, and the praise is specific rather than generic: a custom armoire, kitchen cabinetry matched to existing finishes down to the fridge panel, built-in dressers and bars, and several custom bathroom vanities. One interior designer who worked with him on a kitchen called the collaboration effortless, and several other reviewers describe multiple projects over the years, which points to repeat customers rather than one-off jobs. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Not every project has landed cleanly: in a 2025 review, one customer said a bathroom vanity Mike built was sized too short and had to be retrofitted to fit the sink, adding that a few people hadn't seen a vanity built quite that way before, even while calling Mike's work generally good. Red Tail reads as the call for a custom furniture piece or built-in that has to fit an odd space exactly, more than for a full room renovation, since the reviews describe cabinetry, vanities, and furniture rather than gut remodels. Worth confirming exact vanity dimensions and sink fit up front given the one account of a misfit.
