Erica wanted a barn door to close off a bedroom in their recently renovated Jersey City, NJ town home. We used locally sourced, rough sawn, red oak. Stained with oil based Minwax and coated with clear shellac. Lumber was sanded smooth to the touch while still maintaining the saw marks. Updated pictures once their contractor hangs the doors

For Barn door ProjectWe had a great experience having Matt build our barn doors. He built them exactly to our specs, on time, and even helped with delivery and install. A true craftsman and professional - we would definitely want to work with him on any future projects.

For Martha's Dining TableAs an Interior Designer/Decorator, I want only the best for my clients. Most of my projects require at least one custom made product. Whether it's window treatments, cushions, art or furniture.
This project required a custom sized table to fit in front of a custom designed and built banquette. My client wanted a specific stain color and tone as well as a specific table base.
Matt is beyond professional and his workmanship is top notch. My client is more than happy - thrilled would be the better word!
Matt really listens to the requirements and wishes - delivers on all points.
I would highly recommend working with Matt. Extremely happy.
Really looking forward to working with Matt again on the next project!
