Aug 22, 2013Roger's work is excellent. I am extremely pleased with the way he took my vague idea and transformed it into a build-able design. The joinery is first-class. I recommend Strathamwood without reservation.

Apr 1, 2015My media cabinet came out exactly as I hoped it would. Throughout the process, Roger provided clear updates and presented me with easy to understand options. I look forward to working with Roger again.
