Derek built and installed a 9’ x 12’, spruce built-in book case for us in our library. This is a solid, properly installed piece of furniture. Derek is a highly competent, highly skilled and very responsible craftsman. His price ($11,000) was in line with what we expected and we feel that we got high value for the price. Derek arrived on time, was respectful of our time and always meticulously cleaned up after every visit. We highly recommend Brainard’s carpentry. Derek is the genuine article.
