My vanity is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! The size, the finish, the smoothness, the way it showcases my countertop and sink.... all perfect. Hugo created a ton of storage space in a very tight amount of space. He listened to my needs, used excellent craftmanship, and was diligent to make it perfect. It was quite a small project, but Hugo took it very seriously and was acutely attentive to detail. On top of all of this, he always arrived at my home with a smile on his face. I highly recommend Hugo for any woodworking project!

Hugo was able to help with all sorts of projects from small and basic to large and complex projects such as custom cabinetry, kitchen, vanity, etc. His work shows good/high  quality and craftsmanship.

He was also creative and provided consultative solutions on the design prior to fabrication and installation. Would definitely recommend!

I met Hugo 18 months ago when searching g for a woodworker who could build a mudroom. I called several companies and the job must have been too small as they overbid for the work. I received Hugo’s name from a friend who thought he may be able to help. He did a wonderful job from design aesthetic, construction and project completion. He finished the job right at the estimate and on time. He was such a pleasure to work with that I referred him to several friends and neighbors who also had positive experiences.
