Client Testimonials

"Although it took us a couple of years to decide on a replacement entrance door for our Spanish Colonial Revival, Christopher exceeded our expectations delivering a true masterpiece. The choice of materials and attention to detail are exactly what we expected. The incorporation of our original vintage door hardware and “speakeasy” window gives our door the perfect vintage look. Our new door undoubtedly adds significant value and character to our 1922 home and we are fortunate enough to have it as an entrance. This custom door is a testament to the artistry and skill of Christopher and is sure to be a source of pride and admiration for years to come."

Thanks for all the help with the door. We were admiring it all day and satisfied with the touch ups. I appreciate the guidance for protecting the finish and even going as far as including the links to the products we should use. I know who to call if I need some professional help and advice. Thanks!

“For once, the algorithm did something I liked by putting Christopher’s work in my Instagram feed. The front door to our 1912 craftsman was damaged by a locksmith who didn’t know what he was doing. I reached out to Christopher via Instagram, explained what happened, and how important the details of my home were. I could tell by our conversation he understood and that craft mattered to him as well. He asked for some measurements after I provided a few photos, we set up a time, and he took care of business. The work is wonderful; exactly what I wanted and our door is better than ever. We’re definitely going to have Christopher do some more work on our house. I’m glad to have met him.”

“Christopher did an incredible job on a custom window. From the first meeting he took note of the unique character of our home and incorporated those elements into the design so it truly complements our house. He stayed in constant touch during the design and production, offering options, incorporating our out-of-the-box ideas and made multiple visits to match stain, confirm measurements etc. The install process was smooth with great attention to detail - even painted the wall under the new trim. He shows great pride in his work and wants the client to be 100% happy. Our window is a work of art and we’re so glad we waited for a master craftsman like Christopher who could do our concept justice.”

— Bambi H.

“I absolutely loved working with Christopher! He possesses a true love for old homes and has an incredible amount of design knowledge. Christopher spent so much time with me working on the design for my new front door - he wanted to be sure it fit the period of my home, but also wanted it to have character. Christopher put so much detailed work into my door - from the Douglas Fir door panels, to the adorable hinges and knob, to the period glass window. I can't say enough how much I love the new door - it has completely changed the look of the front of my house!”

— Eileen K.

“Chris is a true professional and master at his craft. He has a passion for old homes and is extremely skillful in design. I would highly recommend if you want something done right!”
