Crippen Woodworks

All I can say is Charlie and his staff deserve 7 or 8 stars!! He is the best contractor I have ever had. My project was to remodel my deck by strengthening the existing structure, rebuilding parts, and installing Azek and cable railing. The crews are simply amazing. They work hard and don't mess around. They always clean up the area at the end of the day. They are customer friendly and always try to please the customer. The quality of the work is unbeatable. I think this is because Charlie is a woodworker and his attention to detail shows through every step of the way. His price was very reasonable, especially given the quality of the finished product. If a tornado comes through, the house may go, but my deck will be left standing. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Need I say more?

We used Crippen Woodworks to build our new ipe deck and have all positive things to say. When we first met with Charlie, we got such a good feeling and sense of trust. He was responsive start to finish and very transparent about costs. Charlie took time to talk through options with me (wood vs composite, railing design, small details). Mike and the crew were always friendly, reliable, respectful of our home, and professional. I consider myself a perfectionist and am completely thrilled with the whole project.

Charlie, Mike and the entire team were fantastic! Not only do we love our new screened porch, but I have never had such a responsible, communicative contractor (I’ve had plenty who were mediocre). I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Charlie and his crew at Crippen Woodworks are by far the BEST out there, and we’ve used a lot in our 25 years of home ownership! His knowledge and passion for wood set him above and beyond the others from the start. His attention to details, reliability and integrity hit it out of the park. He managed every step of a long frustrating permitting process with grace and patience. His crew not only are skilled woodworkers, they are polite, neat and clean, and a pleasure to have at your home. I highly recommend them. Our decks came out lightyears better than I imagined!

Wow! You can't find a nicer and more professional group to work with. Charlie and Michael run a first class deck construction company. Not only do they build amazing decks, they also are involved in the design and material/accessory choices. They come with our highest recommendation.

Charlie and his crew just completed a partial kitchen renovation and some other renovations (ceiling work, wainscoting, stairway, crown mouldings, etc.) in our townhouse. The quality of work they produce is outstanding. This is the second townhouse in which we have had renovations completed, and we wouldn’t think of using any company except Crippin Woodworks. From Gordon, who creates beautiful cabinetry that always fits perfectly and looks beautiful, to Jerod, who is a true artist in his ability to make detailed mouldings look like works of art, they are all true professionals. Charlie Crippin, the owner, works with you to ensure that he understands exactly what you want. With his experience, he is able to assist you in designing a project that meets, and often exceeds, your expectations. Charlie’s attention to detail is especially noteworthy. His basic company motto seems to be, “If you’re not happy with it, we’re not happy with it.” We could not be more pleased with the work they have done for us and recommend them highly.

Charlie and his crew did an amazing job with our custom kitchen island and wet bar. We cannot be happier with our new cabinets and Charlie's attention to detail was superb. It was an absolute pleasure working with Charlie and we will engage him again for future projects. If you want excellent quality, things done the right way, and great service, you need to connect with Charlie.

Charlie is our go-to craftsman for carpentry projects. He has done many for us over the years -- a beautiful deck off of our kitchen, custom cabinetry in our NC mountain home, and several smaller projects for our daughter's home. Charlie and his team are professional and talented. His work is fairly priced and he is great to work with. We highly recommend Crippen Woodworks!

Great job! Charlie designed a deck that exceeded expectations. The screened porch is my favorite room in the house. It has so much light and is gorgeous.

We would highly recommend Crippen Woodworks for any of your fine carpentry or deck-building needs. It was a pleasure working with Crippen Woodworks from start to finish on our project to construct a new screened porch and deck. The craftsmanship was superb and we ended up with a truly remarkable space. We frequently referred to the screened porch as "our favorite room in the house" as many mornings and evenings were spent out there relaxing. Since the project was competed we have had numerous guests at our house that have commented on the space. We never hesitate to give them Crippen Woodworks phone number. Crippen Woodworks finished the project on-time and within budget.

I contacted Charlie to have work done on exterior structural posts. It was not something he typically did and told me I should look elsewhere. I did and was having a hard time finding someone. Charlie reached out to me to ask if I had found someone and I advised that I had not. He then told me he and his crew would do the work. Charlie came to assess the work to be done and settled on a price. He and his crew were professional, on time and kept the work area clean and did the work quickly. I was impressed and would would rate them with an Aplus.

Charlie designed and custom-built our book & media cabinet. We collaboratively agreed on the specification and the project was delivered on cost and to the agreed schedule. I have no reservations in recommending Charlie and his work.
