70 Clay, CA Carpenters

“Lawrence is the go-to guy if you wanna have a customized solid wood furniture piece. He helped me design and make a beautiful walnut dining table from sratch and everything along the process was a wonderful experience. He hand-selected the raw wood slab, showed me various combinations of how he would put them together, painted a number of wood samples and showed it to me before he applied it to the table just to help visualize the real effects. Communicating with Lawrence was very casual and easy, and he was extremely patient when it came to the times I wanted a change on the original design. My dining table turned out to be a masterpiece in my eyes and everybody liked it.”

“Tim is a wonderful person to work with. He's very dependable, responsive, and takes great pride in his craft. My clients love him and have been very impressed with the results. I would recommend him anytime and look forward to many more projects with him :)”

“We had the pleasure of working with G+G on two really important projects for our new home: the design of a custom dining table to fit in a wide but narrow room, and a fireplace mantel surround. We started with the table and they just blew us away. The hand-turned legs, the super heavy, solid wood table with the gorgeous, custom gray-ish stain - wow. People ask me about this table all the time and it caused quite a stir on social media, too, because it's just beautiful and truly unique. After that, we knew they were the right guys for the mantel surround. We literally had nothing on the wall floor to ceiling. They added the herringbone tile, the custom designed mantel shelf, and the shiplap to the ceiling. Even more awesome than their work is their incredible attention to detail, their desire to get as close as perfect as possible, and their absolute kindness - with everyone around them. Even our kids loved them. It was a joy to work with them and have them in our home. 5 stars is not enough for these talented gents and when they blow up and are a huge success, we will still have that gorgeous table to say - hey, Gift & Grain built that for us.”

“We hired Design Woodworking, Inc. to modify existing living area built ins to accommodate our new television. The project required finding wood, stain and finish to match the 13 year old built ins. Every interaction was timely, professional and the end result met our high expectations. The craftsman were highly skilled and very meticulous as well as courteous while working in our home.”

“Clinton was contracted by the company I hired to rebuild my tri-level custom stair railings. He did an awesome job! He is a carpenter by trade and can build anything limited only to your imagination.”

“I had about 80 cabinet doors in my house changed from traditional hinges to European hinges. I also had my kitchen peninsula updated with raised frame & panel and new Corbels. Finally, I had an old built in shelf set removed and a new one built. All beautiful and inexpensive. I highly recommend Robert and his team.”
