In July 2026 a couple building their house wrote that Brendan of Walsh Woodworks built the built-in bookshelves and entertainment center in their living room, and that he was easy to work with and knew his wood. Walsh Woodworks is a custom woodworking and cabinetry shop in Eastford, Connecticut; a March 2025 reviewer calls Brendan the owner and woodworker. Its site lists design consultations, 2D/3D drawings, custom fabrication, finishing and installation, and a service area including Old Saybrook, New London, Essex and Stonington. Google shows 5 stars from 17 ratings. In December 2025 a customer wrote that Brendan converted some of their kitchen cabinets to pull-out drawers, added pullouts under the cooktop on the island, turned a coat closet into a pantry closet, and coordinated his work with their painter. In March 2025 a couple with a small master bathroom had him build a custom 36-inch vanity in Karelian burl: he quoted a fair price that matched the final bill, drew up detailed plans for storage, built it on time and worked with their contractor for installation. In a January 2024 review, a homeowner who had six houses renovated described a wall of Brendan's cabinets in the study and another set in the kitchen, and wrote that their contractor brought in two other contractors to see the work. A December 2023 reviewer had him make matching gun cases from black walnut from a family farm, along with a sofa back table, and another that month described a kitchen in burled wood with arches reflecting their 70-year-old home and a demilune hall table with secret drawers. A December 2023 customer described a music studio built to stringent requirements, including an 88-note keyboard drawer and soundproofing of equipment. In a 2023 review, a couple who met Brendan in 2017 while building their house wrote that he designed and fabricated their kitchen cabinets and island, pantry, laundry room, bathrooms, closets and home office, plus a built-in artist's niche in spalted beech.
My husband and I were in the process of building our house when we decided we wanted to do some built in bookshelves/entertainment center in our living room. Brendan was the perfect guy for this job! His love of his craft and knowledge of wood were unbelievable. He was easy to work with and made the process easy & fun. To top things off, we could not be happier with how the project turned out-it is the perfect addition to our new living space and everyone comments on the beautiful wood! If you are looking for a custom made wood project no need to look any further than Walsh Woodworks!
Brendan was a pleasure to work with and he was able to coordinate the work he did with my painter. I was very pleased with the outcome of having some of my cabinets converted to having pull out drawers instead of shelves and adding pullouts underneath my cooktop on the kitchen island. Now my recyclables and trash are hidden, I have a storage area where I keep my 12 packs of soda and an additional area that is a pull out cabinet for spices. Also, Brendan facilitated the transition of my coat closet in the kitchen area into a pantry closet giving me much more storage space. I highly recommend Brendan for the great work he did and for being an excellent communicator.
We are ecstatic with our experience with Walsh Woodworks. We have a small master bathroom, which hadn't been updated in at least 20-30 years, long before we moved in. There wasn't space to have a "large" bathroom, but at least it could be beautiful and modern. Another goal was to maximize storage space, since the room has little space overall. When starting this project, we found that the vanities offered by kitchen/bath stores didn't leave us impressed- relatively few options in terms of style and dimensions, and only ok. Enter Brendan, the owner and woodworker of a local company only a few towns over in Eastern Connecticut. Working with him was a breeze. First, he quoted a fair price for a custom built vanity (and the final price was exactly the same). He met with us to discuss our vision and needs, and suggested a few wood options. When none of them felt quite right, he then shared ~6 enormous catalogs of potential wood choices, so that we could find something unique that would stand out. He didn't rush us, but in the end we found one that we loved (Karelian burl). Brendan then looked at photos of other vanities that we did and didn't like and drew up detailed design plans to incorporate my desire for lots of storage in a 36" vanity! He built the vanity on time, and worked with the contractor for installation. Communication was an A+. Even our contractors were commenting on how well built the vanity is! We could not be happier.
If you are looking for excellent service and work you found the right place! Walsh Woodworks is probably making one of the finest work in the country. Their care and expertise surpasses the standard experience by far. They are extremely detailed and strive to make you as a customer happy. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for quality.
We saw Brendan's amazing work in a home tour and knew he was the one we wanted to do the cabinetry in our new home. From start to finish it was fun and stress free to work with Brendan to see our dream kitchen, bathrooms and front door come to life. We knew what we wanted and with his creative ideas, the finished creation is above and beyond what we could have imagined. Brendan would check in throughout the build to insure we were on the same page. Thank you for your incredible craftsmanship, personality, attention to detail, and getting it done!
