Cambridge Craftsman / Kevin Richard crafted a spectacular design and rebuild of our 3-story rear porch with Mahogany decks and restored the Victorian front porch on our home in Cambridge. Not only did they hold to the budget and timing as contracted but the entire team was respectful and accommodating to various issues we encountered along the way.
Kevin and his team built us a garbage shed, a bike shed, and built-in bookcases. Each is exquisite. Kevin’s team is highly professional and fine artists in wood. If you are doing a project that you want to be beautiful, go with Cambridge Craftsman.
Kevin designed and built a custom portico over over front porch to reflect the architectural spirit of the house. His team rebuilt a side porch, replaced an aging patio slider, built an Arts and Crafts style gated entryway, and renovated the exterior of the home by replacing 48 window and door casings (not to mention rotted cedar siding). The Cambridge Craftsman does amazing work -- and always thoughtfully explained and discussed.
We had the joy of hosting Kevin and his crew as they built a beautiful Arts and Crafts Trellis and an Arbor in our back yard. Both are designed to help screen and provide a sturdy support for roses and climbers to grow and thrive.The work came out beautifully and we then extended the scope to include replacing stairs to the basement, which also came out beautifully. Despite being close to 5 years old, all their structures are holding up beautifully.We highly recommend Cambridge Craftsmen!
We have been so immensely pleased by the beautiful work that Kevin and his crew did to increase the beauty of our home. Over a period of several weeks during the winter he built for us a beautiful new bicycle shed, a pergola, and a fireplace mantle.We had very specific requirements for each project, and he worked with us step-by-step to help us design the perfect space. He would listen to our feedback and incorporate it, but also steered us away when certain things were ill advised. He was very transparent and accurate with price estimates and deliverables.If we need any other woodwork done around the house again, he will be our first call. Highly recommend for any similar type being done in the city.Hats off to the Craftsmen of Cambridge!
