We hired Hugh for two big projects -- a deck extension that included stadium-style stairs, and a shed.
From what I understand, Old Mine Carpentry is focusing solely on furniture, cabinetry and millwork. But the following review absolutely applies to their skill, integrity and personality.
First of all, Hugh is incredibly easy to work with. He gets it. Shortly after requesting the deck project, he came back with a few detailed options and a recommendation. We went with the recco and it worked out great. No extra costs or hidden surprises. Same for the shed.
His team is also great. Every member was knowledgeable in their speciality, and all were friendly, energetic and excited to do the work.
Saving the best for last is the craft, itself. Hugh is a master craftsman, spending that little extra time to ensure the project measured up to our standards -- and to his. You sense the pride he has in his work, and that pride is more than justified.
Our deck is now the centerpiece of our backyard, a magnet for dinner parties, outdoor movies, late night drinks and morning coffee. It's the feature of our house that gets the most compliments by a long shot (sorry, in-ground pool). The shed matches the style and color of our house and integrates with our aesthetic perfectly.
Based on the skills I witnessed first hand (and enjoy to this day), I absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Old Mine Carpentry. You'll just have to get there faster than me for the...
Read moreWe stumbled upon Old Mine shortly after moving into our house and felt like we hit the jackpot! We've done a couple of projects with Hugh and his team over the past two years - from retrofitting an existing wall to create the perfect tv nook in our weird basement to building a custom floating sideboard, shelves, and table in our kitchen. Hugh is super easy to communicate with, neat, and reliable. It's obvious that he's proud of the work he does, and will go the extra mile to make sure you're equally happy with the result. To say that it's a pleasure to work with this crew is an understatement, and we'll surely be clients for life. I just wish they were still...
Read moreOld Mine Carpentry were recommended to me by a peer in my trade. We gave them some great millwork pieces to help design and build for us and I have so many positive things to say about it, but I’ll keep it short. From design which they helped with because the reality is, I’m not a millwork designer And neither are most people that come to me, but I do have an idea for what I want generally. Hugh and his team at OMC took it from that point to delivering some really nice pieces in a very professional manner. I have to say, rom design to installation was flawless. I highly recommend OMC For any of your choices around their...
