apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love fine woodwork and am a fan of shops like Thomas Moser and Stickley. When I needed some bookcases I decided to order custom made ones, and I was thrilled with John's workmanship, artistry and attention to detail. Several friends and neighbors asked me for his phone number after seeing my bookshelves. Worth every penny, you can't (and I didn't) find anything like this in the stores.

John did a couple of projects for me including some custom woodwork , it wasn’t cheap, but he did timely work and he had great ideas and input for the design, I was pleased with the outcome and enjoy the improvements to my apartment.

John Ewbank designed and built a countertop and shelf for me, turning my impossibly cramped eat-in kitchen into a cook's dream space! He was very easy to work with and came up with a smart solution that fit my unique needs. He also gave me unbeatable price for high quality. The job was done very efficiently and the results are sturdy and attractive. I definitely recommend this one-of-a kind, handy man carpenter!

This is a fastidious resourceful honest man. You can rely on him completely. I first employed him was to build a wall of bookcases in my loft. I was out of town for a week, returned to find the job done perfectly and the place spotless -- NO SAWDUST. Since then I have used him several times and reccommended him to many friends who are all happy with his work.
