We recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew Mahar on several custom pieces for our space, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. They crafted a stunning, sophisticated bar and shelf that has completely elevated the look and feel of our bar area. In addition, they created a beautiful, clean-lined frame for a key piece of artwork and designed sleek, durable covers for our sinks — each item demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Throughout the process, Andrew was professional, responsive, and committed to bringing our vision to life. The quality of their work speaks for itself, and we are incredibly grateful for their expertise and dedication. We look forward to working with them again on future projects!

Andrew is a complete pro. I had a very specific area in my older building and he was able to account for all the imperfect angles and odd space. He went out of his way to find the perfect wood for me and even helped remove some of the old stuff. Highly recommended for custom carpentry.

Andrew did an incredible job creating desk space and shelving around an existing file cabinet. He was true to his word for the turn around time, made great suggestions for the design and was fabulous to work with. We love how the project came out. We have an old house with challenging walls and he worked around all obstacles with ease. He even hand made the brackets to fit the design!

Thank you very much, Mary! I hope your daughters get many years of use out of your desk and shelving. I look forward to wrapping up your next project this week as well. You’ve been an incredibly accommodating customer to work with and I hope we can work on more projects around your home in the future!

If I can give 10 stars, I would!! He was able to transform a picture into something amazing. My other contractors were so amazed by his work quality, that they want to work with him directly or for their own home. Andrew is all things you want in a contractor obit can’t find. Professional, attentive to his work, excellent communication and his vision and recommendations are always spot on.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We charge $80 an hour for shop/delivery/installation time + materials + tax
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Generally each customer has some idea of what they’d like going into the process. Through phone or email we can discuss exactly what you’re looking for and then I’ll ask you send a few pictures of the space and any furniture you’d like to match the piece to. In some cases we come take measurements (if something is built into a wall, for example) but often times the customer gives a estimated size and we go from there. After that, depending on our schedule you’ll see your furniture deliver in 6-8 weeks.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Andrew Mahar (owner/operator) has 6 AWS (American Welding Society) certifications in MIG and Stick welding applications along with 2 ASME TIG welding certifications. On top of those he has an Associate degree in Welding and Fabrication from Northeast State Tech issued in 2011 as well as a 2 year AWS backed welding school certificate issued by New York State in 2009.
