Custom Wrap-Around Oak Mantel

Great, no issues, look forward to working with Lee again

Working with Lee was a great experience! We were originally going to go with walnut, but after discussing and seeing some of Lee's work with Flame Birch, we switched to it. Lee was in contact regularly, involved us every step of the way, and the result was spectacular! We now have a beautiful one-of-a-kind flame bitch mantel.

Lee did a great job designing a mantle to wrap around an existing brick fireplace. We planned to wrap with a stone product not yet selected. Therefore precise measurements and the various ways of mounting the mantle played as much into the success of the project as did the desired aesthetics. Lee patiently altered the design several times as the rest of the decisions about refacing the fireplace fell into place. The result is terrific and the fit is perfect.
If you want a great mantle for a difficult situation you cannot do better than working with Leland Franke.

Leland was very attentive to ensure he was provided all the necessary information needed to help me as a customer. He asked for questions and clarity at all stages of the project from quote through delivery to make sure i was happy and would be getting the correct product for my needs.

The mantel was a custom fit and based on the information I provided he found an adjustment to make sure the mantel fit my fireplace correct.

The product delivered matched his high quality customer service which he also provided. I would strongly recommend working with Leland on projects.

I had a wonderful experience while creating our custom piece for our fireplace. The correspondence was always fast and we got updates on progress periodically. Lee knew exactly what we wanted. The drawings he sent shows exactly how it is built. The mantel is beautiful and is definitely an art piece in our home.
