As we’ve been spending more time at home these past couple of years, some of us have been longing for more space and for a more organized, peaceful house to help us reset as we strive to separate work and personal time. But that isn’t an easy feat if your living space doubles as your workspace.

The General Woodcraft Experience

Chris Nolan — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 16:00:00 GMT

Lots of my friends and people we meet ask where I work and when I say, “General Woodcraft”, they often swoon and tell me about a wonderful experience they had, or their friends had, or their parents had, or their cousins had or friends of their parents and cousins had.

At first I was amazed that General Woodcraft had such a consistently strong reputation. I frequently hear comments like, “General Woodcraft designed a kitchen for us and it is so beautiful! We had it installed a few years ago and we love it as much as today as we did when it was first installed.” People who bought Ipe hardwood decking from us fifteen years ago often call us up to thank us for such a beautiful and long lasting deck. The list of satisfied customers goes on and on and it continues. I was and continue to be overwhelmed by the positive feedback that we consistently hear from past and present clients.
