Woodworking is my passion. In 2011 I started it as a hobby and absolutely fell in love. Inspired by the craftsman style of the early 1900s, I began making frames, small pieces of furniture, and kitchen cabinets for my own home. Already a collector of antique furniture from the same period, I had an appreciation for the craftsmanship that went into each piece. In 2021 I took the leap to follow my dream and pursue woodworking full time. As my experience has grown so has my appreciation for other styles. I particularly enjoy working with old growth reclaimed lumber...wood that has a story. While I like the fact that I'm able to save something from going to the landfill, I love that the story of where the wood came from will live on in the pieces I create. My goal is to make pieces that last well beyond a lifetime in a timeless style that fit with almost any decor.
"Bungalow Woodshop exceeded expectation. We were looking for a simple shelving unit for our basement and Timâ s creativity expanded our thinking without expanding our budget. Heâ s as thoughtful and courteous as he is meticulous. We asked him to build a custom pool cue stand as well and he took our idea and made a very cool piece of art. He shared renderings. We talked about it. He always listened to the feedback and was awesome through the process. Highly recommend and endorse. Canâ t wait to bring in on our next project!"

I am a one-man shop trying to put together beautiful and useful works of art with wood so that someone might enjoy them in their home.
"STL Woodworking did a stellar job with my special order for a one-of-a-kind river wood table. I described what I had in mind in terms of wood, colors, and size, and the owner (Greg) crafted the most beautiful table made out of a beautiful piece of macacauba wood and paired with a gorgeous epoxy color and a perfect set of black metal table legs. Greg completed the project on schedule and delivered the piece himself. The table is stunning, so I rearranged my furniture to make it a centerpiece in my sitting area, and I use it daily as my desk working from home. It is truly a piece of functional art. I am so glad I went with STL Woodworking for this project."

Yanover Constructions sole mission is to offer the best quality service at a competitive rate. We are a licensed General Contractor and also offer Remodeling and Renovation services! We offer professional interior and high-quality exterior painting services as well. Our promise to our clients is that we will use only the highest quality materials on their home or business. Our tradesmen are customer oriented and trained to deliver the highest quality service in the industry. Our workmanship speaks for itself. We don't cut corners to save a little money like other contractors, we want your repeat and referral business and we treat you like it.
"I hired Yanover to build a deck and porch, but I would not recommend their services to anyone. Throughout the process, it became evident that customer satisfaction and effective project management were not priorities for them. Here’s a timeline of the most critical issues I experienced: Excessive Project Timeline and Disruption: This project spanned nearly five months, from early April to late September, turning my yard into a construction site for the entire summer. Yanover's repeated delays and lack of coordination meant that I couldn't use my yard or deck for most of the season, resulting in significant inconvenience. Initial Delays and Communication Issues: After making my first payment in April, I received plans that had errors, were incomplete, delivered late and required revisions, causing delays. Over the following weeks, their communication was inconsistent and vague, often providing excuses rather than clear updates. On multiple occasions, work was postponed with little to no notice due to "rain," even when weather forecasts showed otherwise. Unreliable Scheduling and Inspections: Yanover’s scheduling issues became a pattern, with crew members no-showing or being sent without necessary materials. Inspections were scheduled, canceled, and rescheduled with no communication until I reached out myself. Yes, I reached out directly to the county because I could not trust my contractor that I had paid tens of thousands of dollars. Changes to Agreed-upon Plans and Poor Execution: A couple months into the project, they altered the roofline, which added more delays and required additional work to ensure proper drainage. Even after these changes, final inspections were repeatedly failed due to oversight, and issues were corrected only after extensive back-and-forth. Lack of Accountability for Drainage and Paint Quality: When water drainage issues arose after the project, Yanover was unwilling to correct the issues caused by their work and then offered to install french drains for 5x the amount quoted to me by other companies. Later, their painting crew provided poor-quality coats of stain, leaving brush strokes visible. After two coats of the semi-transparent stain I chose, I had to settle for a solid stain to cover the poor work, adding even more time to my already delayed project. Throughout this process, Yanover demonstrated poor communication, unreliable scheduling, and a clear disregard for client satisfaction. I expected professional oversight and clear communication from a construction company, but instead, I faced ongoing frustration and an end product that didn’t meet initial expectations. I would not recommend Yanover to anyone seeking a reliable, customer-focused contractor."

My focus is quality. I never cut corners, even when it's more expensive. Some of my competitors are cheaper, but I will take the time to make sure you're 100% happy.
"This company definitely exceeded my expectations. Nowadays it is hard to find quality work for a reasonable cost. The Brothers General Contracting and Landscaping is one of those rare companies that offers quality work for reasonable costs. The moment I met Lance when he came to my home to give me an estimate to build an enclosed deck, he guaranteed me that I would be happy with their work. Well, he definitely was a true man of his word and I couldn’t be more happier with their work. His crew were punctual and professional and they treated my property as if it was their own. Kudos to Lance and his crew. I will be contacting you again for my next project."

Installing a window seat can take anywhere from three to 20 hours, depending on the complexity of the project. A professional carpenter can complete a basic installation in as little as three hours if no modifications are needed. If they need to remove cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, it can extend the work to a full day. If you're tackling a DIY project, expect it to take a full day for a basic seat and several days for more advanced designs that involve extra structural adjustments.
A built-in window seat that measures four feet in width will seat two adults comfortably or let one person stretch out. Ideal dimensions are 17 to 20 inches in depth and 16 to 21 inches in height to ensure a balanced design and optimal comfort. Make sure your window seat isn't higher than the bottom of your window for a harmonious look in your space.
You might need a building permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-in seating that is added to residential properties. Check with your local building authorities and your professional carpenter to ensure you're in compliance and avoid any potential penalties.
