Splash Carpentry

Our retirement home was built in 1860 and required a custom antique looking white oak 2 step addition, landing, and spindle rail system to complete the staircase. We spent years searching internet sites and architectural salvage yards for an antique spindle and rail system before purchasing one we liked, but antique matching newel posts and accessories were impossible to find. We found Splash Carpentry via the internet and called Adrian to discuss our need and vision. We found Adrian to be patient, intelligent, insightful, quick to understand, willing and able to envision our desired custom design, and always honest. His word is good, his work precision, and his character impeccable. We highly recommend Adrian and Splash Carpentry for your construction needs. You will be very pleased with the relationship, reliability, and result. Jim Braun Springfield, Illinois

Adrian is a pleasure to work with, a talented carpenter, good communicator, reasonable with his prices and quick to execute an order.

The Splash Carpentry team, led by Adrian, was stellar. Our project involved a whole house remodel for which Splash was hired for carpentry work including repair and staining of existing wood flooring, installation of new doors/hardware, casing, baseboards, and crown molding, restoration and refinishing of an existing wood staircase, and installation of kitchen cabinets. Adrian was great at regularly communicating with the myself and the multiple workers on site to keep the project moving forward. In addition, he was able to mobilize his team to quickly handle different aspects of the project along the way. The project spanned about one year, during which time Adrian stopped by multiple times (including nights and weekends) to review work, give suggestions about how we could stay within budget, or to give suggestions/answer questions about ideas that we had along the way. Adrian is particularly detailed-oriented and wanted to make sure that things were done right. As an example, our house has three different species of wood flooring that were pre-existing in the house, include maple which is difficult to stain well. So, we not only had the challenge of selecting a stain color that would work well with the design of the house but also needed to ensure that that stain selected would look good on all three types of wood. To handle this, Adrian put together several large boards of different types of wood and created various mixes of stains so that we could select a color that we liked. In fact, at one point he invited us to his shop and created dozens of combinations at one sitting to come up with the 'final' stain color. He then created a larger sample board of this color so that we could take it back to the house. Finally, to ensure that everything was perfect, he had his flooring team apply the stain as a sample to different areas of the house so that we could see it on the actual floors. The final result was phenomenal (especially the maple) - almost everyone who visits the house comments on how beautiful the floors look. This is just one example of many that highlights how Splash works. I can honestly say that our project would not have been the same without the flexibility, expertise, craftsmanship, dedication, and help of the Splash Team. Thanks Adrian, for treating our home like your own.

We hired Splash Carpentry to renovate our stairs. After they finished, the stairs are beautiful! We are extremely pleased with Adrian and his crew. They were very professional, prompt, clean and thorough. They started and finished the project on time. We would definitely work with Splash Carpentry again and highly recommend them.

Splash Carpentry does great woodwork, I have used them for Newel posts and handrail parts on a number of my homes I have built. They have excellent craftsmanship and great pricing, they are great to work with and also offer discounts for large orders. I am a custom home builder that builds around 15 homes a year, and I highly recommend Splash Carpentry for all your custom handrail parts.

We are very pleased with Splash Carpentry and would not hesitate to work with them again nor to recommend them to anyone seeking a high quality product, on time delivery, excellent response and very freindly and easy to work with. First time procurring finish millwork ( newel posts and railing in white oak) from an on-line source, and were somewhat anxious about full payment in advance. Adrian held our hands through the process and put us at ease with his professionalism.

Adrian is a true professional and craftsman. He provided a fair proposal, communicated with us throughout, and made sure all details were taken care of. The final results are excellent. I strongly recommend him for any of your carpentry needs.

Splash Carpentry did a fantastic job refinishing our interior doors. I am very happy with the quality of work and their professionalism. I plan on using Splash Carpentry again.

I needed some custom newel posts in quarter-sawn white oak for a new Craftsman-style home we are building and could not find anything I liked. So I spoke to Adrian at Splash Carpentry and we ended up agreeing to have him modify a couple of their standard design newel posts with the changes we wanted. He also ordered the specific wood we were looking for. They started work on the posts right away and we received them 2 weeks later. They are absolutely beautiful. The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent, and I would not hesitate to recommend Splash Carpentry to anyone looking for high quality, custom woodworking.

Splash Carpentry repaired and rebuilt the shutters for our home. He duplicated the design perfectly and refinished and painted all the shutters based on my requests. He was professional, prompt and always provided updates via email.

Splash Carpentry installed window casings, passageway casings, and barn doors in my condo. Splash Carpentry was very professional and performed high-quality work. They were very responsive to my emails, and I was pleased that I didn't have to wait long to have them start my project. I intend to hire them again.

We had new railing and banisters put on 2 staircases and a built in bookcase made at the top of the stairs. The job was done quickly and professionally with most of the work being done before they were on site. It looks amazing! Everything was built and handled with such care. They were very clean. Price was very fair and they made sure was done right and that we were 100% satisfied with the job. I would for sure hire them again.
