PRESS & CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

I reached out to Cory because of issues I was having with my french doors. Cory began by coming by to take a look and give me a quote on the wor. This was an important step because although he was extremely professional and about business, Cory also took the time to get to know me better and develop a relationship. He took time to notice details about my home and ask really good questions. He told me to take time to think about any questions or concerns I might have and to then contact him to commit to next steps. Again, I appreciated this step because it took the pressure of committing on the spot away and gave me time to process the details.

When I was ready, I contacted him and we signed our agreement for the work. He showed up on time and ready to dive in. He was efficient and professional throughout the scope of the project yet still took time for brief and friendly chats here and there. The work was done to an excellent standard . Beyond that day, he checked in to be sure things were done to my satisfaction and assured me that if there were any problems he would be back to remedy them at no additional cost. I highly recommend working with Cory for your next construction/carpentry project and will do so myself when another project emerges for me.

I strongly recommend Cory Hewitt. Why? He is a master craftsman. He is an artisan and a technician. A contractor “extraordinaire.” Dedicated to his craft, customers, and making sure the job gets done right, and within the budget. He is a perfectionist in the very best sense.

Cory had to build a very complicated, large deck for my house in the Berkeley Hills. It required a lot of vision, math, measuring and engineering because it was built on top of a large, uneven boulder. The deck now provides views of the Bay. He incorporated a beautiful water feature. He also arranged all the outside lighting, and it looks great!

None of the area below the deck was level. In order for it to be level and safe, it took a lot of planning and precision on Cory’s part. Now the deck is the center-piece of our house, and its gorgeous. Everyone asks who built that deck and can I please have his name. Now you know. The secret is out.

“Cory Hewitt is best in class. My dining room table is simply awesome! It was exactly what I wanted and Cory had the vision and skill to make it a huge success for me and my family. He is a true professional. A caring, thoughtful and a great guy too! I hope to do more projects with him and recommend working with him to all my friends and colleagues. Thanks Cory for your amazing work. You’ve got serious talent!”

“Cory built a beautiful and functional table for my home. Working in the wine business, I entertain a lot and I feel the table is much more than a piece of furniture. Cory was very involved in every aspect of the design creation and even delivery/ installation (it was heavy and required a saavy crew). I would wholeheartedly recommend him.”

“Cory did an excellent job of refinishing our old kitchen table. The table itself was ordinary, and Cory’s skill gave it new life. We highly recommend his work. He is professional and a pleasure to work with.”

Cory is amazing! He is an absolute delight to work with. We have done several remodel projects with other contractors, but we have never found anybody with the level of detail, professionalism, timeliness, communication and quality of work as Cory! He is top-notch and does super amazing quality work. I have never seen anybody so detailed at making sure every dimension of a window opening was perfectly plumb and level. With a 100 year old house, that is a lot of adjustments to make!

We highly recommend working with Cory for your future projects!
