My experience with Alexander Buckley was very disappointing. I found him to be unprofessional due to poor communication and a failure to follow through with a scheduled appointment. Based on my experience, I would not recommend doing business with him.
A high end custom builder with an outstanding team and company culture that stands behind all they do professionally and proudly!
Top of the line general contracting and custom millwork. They go above and beyond to work with clients throughout the entire process. There is literally no equal in the Northeast region. Maybe even the whole Eastern seaboard.
Always good customer service

Our mutual clients often require custom, challenging and unique solutions to accomplish the high level of design they are searching for and Woodmeister is right there with us creating those solutions.
