Report
Our first project with Stephan involved the design, building, and installation of kitchen cabinets plus a variety of built-ins throughout our home. That was ten years ago. Subsequently we have used Stephan on numerous other projects including an entertainment center and bookcases for our lower level. Most recently we have engaged Stephen to design and build a desk. Stephen is a delight to work with. He is honest and he is fair.
