Traditional Mahogany Wall Unit /Home Office Desk
This large Mahogany wall unit serves as both bedroom storage and display space and as a home office with pullout keyboard tray disguised as a pencil drawer and pullouts for files and a printer. The open bookshelves above have accent lighting recessed behind the pilasters. The eleven foot long one piece crown assembly had to be hoisted up to the fifth floor as it would not fit the elevator or stairways. Included here are some cell phone pics that give an idea of the process.

For Joel's built-in cabinet5.0I couldn't be happier with Gary's work. The built-ins came out perfectly. Gary communicated at all stages for the process; he was on time for every appointment; the work was flawless. I look forward to working with him in the future.

For Bookcase Built into Dead Space in Wall5.0We had Gary do two projects at our apartment in the Ritz-Carlton residences: a built in bookcase and reconfiguring a built in desk. Both jobs required careful detail work to match existing moldings in the living room. The desk was a special challenge as it involved some creative thinking on the design. Gary stood looking at the previous desk for quite some time and then came up with a brilliant idea about how to make the area more useful and aesthetically pleasing. His work is flawless, he comes when he says he will, and cleans up carefully. We will use him again if we have a need and we recommend him without reservation.

For Exterior Wooden Doors5.0Gary created a very custom exterior wood door made out of African mahogany with detailed moldings, repurposed glass windows and new hardware. Gary visited my home to look at the existing door and to make recommendations based on what he saw. He created a template, ordered the material and started to work on my project. Once the door was fabricated he brought it to my house to make sure the new door fit in the existing opening. After a couple tweaks and some wood shavings the door fit like a glove. My new door looks like its been here for ever and the craftsmanship is outstanding. I could not have asked for a better looking door for my turn of the century home. It's truly one of a kind that can not be purchased in a store.
