I am very pleased with Mr. Russell's work. Throughout the entire job he was professional, courteous, and punctual. He did the custom woodwork and installation himself and did not subcontract to others. This gave him complete control of the work quality, which by the way, is second to none. I would certainly hire him again.
John is very energetic and brings alot of passion to his work and the project. Our first project phase was design and John brought back great, out-of-the-box ideas that we are incorporating.
We contacted with Russell Woodworks to redesign our kitchen, a comparatively challenging space. The experience was a joy, and the result continues to delight us every day. John guided us with great professionalism. His work is craftsmanship at its best; his dedication to excellence and creativity admirable. He worked within the budget and completed the work on time. Throughout the project, John was patient, flexible, and responsive to our needs and concerns, without compromising his good taste and judgment. Our new kitchen has significantly added to the value of our home. We look forward to our next project with Russell Woodworks!
More planning should have been given to the placement of the drawers and sub-woofer. We are very happy with the entertainment center.
Thank you John for the beautiful,quality built-in wardrobe. I can't tell you all of the compliments we've received from family and friends! It was a terrific addition, not to mention investment to our home. We especially love the hinge hardware, which makes for exceptionally smooth sliding drawers. We appreciated your honesty, craftsmanship, and flexibility with our home improvement project. We look forward to implementing the next custom project with you.
