Jaime Brown

For Jaime's Outdoor fire pit with a hidden propane tank

Ethan is highly skilled and very creative. He not only built a beautiful fire pit, exactly to our specifications, but he also added some finishing touches that we didn't necessarily ask for but really made the piece that much more beautiful. Overall, it was great working with Ethan. He kept us updated every Monday with progress and photos. He did a great job of testing and troubleshooting before finally shipping and installing it himself. He clearly takes great pride in his work and we would definitely work with him again and recommend him to others.

GraceAnn Graumann

For Outdoor Custom Table Made of Reclaimed Wood

Ethan delivered a great product taking time and expertise to make final touches to our table once at our house to level pieces with the ground. Offered to come back if other adjustments need to be made. He made sure we were happy with the end product; he and his assistant were very professional and nice to work with. They put on the last coat of finish at our house making sure it was the exact finish we wanted. My only suggestion is that Ethan communicate a little more effectively by giving the customer promised updates every Monday with pictures to show progress to make sure all are on the same page for design in process. A few times I had to ask for an update and photos on Tues or Wed. I know he is busy, but it is best for the process and expectations by the customer if the updates came every Monday without being prompted. Overall we are very happy with our table and Ethan was a nice and talented craftsman to work with.
