Our experience with Woodmaster was excellent from the initial customer interaction on design through final installation. The final project is everything we expected and the installation went very smoothly. All of the folks at Woodmaster were great; professional, courteous and friendly. WoodMaster was very detail-oriented throughout all the phases of the project- design, measurement, fabrication, finish, and installation.
Jonathan contributed good ideas during the design phaseThe schedule for the project was adhered to very well in comparison to most we have experienced.

Below are some testimonials for our custom cabinet jobs, cabinet resurfacing and other custom woodworking projects. Jonathan Leys at WoodMaster produced beautiful custom cabinetry for our remodeled home. He was responsive and professional and went beyond the call of duty to build and maintain our cabinets.
In this ever-changing world, more and more consumers are becoming aware and concerned about the environment. As manufacturers, we feel the same way and are striving to stay informed on the latest developments in the new "green building" trend. We've already done many "green" projects and actually prefer to do all of our work in this manner.
At WoodMaster we do many aspects of custom woodwork for the home and business, but the majority of our work consists of the modern residential kitchen. We offer assistance in design and material selection as well as an extensive knowledge of convenience hardware that will make your kitchen truly unique and a pleasure to use.

Jonathan and his crew installed the cabinets in our kitchen and did an outstanding job. They worked quickly, professionally and precisely. Whenever a problem emerged they came up with a remarkable Plan B which was better than what we originally planned. The result was a beautiful new kitchen that we are thrilled with. We wholeheartedly recommend them and know that you will appreciate his talent and attention to detail as much as we do.

Jonathan and his associate Josh refinished all our cherry wood cabinets in the kitchen, dining room, 3 bathrooms, and a wet bar. We had a mysterious blotching on the finish. Jonathan diagnosed the problem. Found a solvent to remove it. Took all the drawer and door faces to his shop to refinish and refinished in-place the cabinets & moldings. Problem solved and a beautiful renewal of our woodwork. Jonathan and Josh are very good, pleasant, enjoyable people. They worked carefully and neatly in our home. We felt fortunate to find such expert work.

We did an extensive remodel throughout the house. One of the projects was having floor to ceiling shelving and cabinets in my hubby's den because he had a MILLION books. We called around to various wood specialists but always seem to get the run-a-round. We even waited a few months for one woodworker and he finally just blew us off saying he was too busy.
When I contacted Jonathan, it was a whole different story. He was very professional from the get-go. After exchanging a few emails and phone calls, he was able to pin-point exactly what we were looking for. He came to our home to get exact measurements and solidify details. Within days he had drawings available for viewing. He then told us we would have the units finished and installed in about 6 weeks.
True to his word, they were finished on time, installed and looked AMAZING. We had chosen a warm natural cherry wood and the shelves/cabinets were simply perfect. We were so happy with the work Jonathan and his crew did. It truly was beautiful workmanship from kind, hard-working and genuinely good people. Thank you so much again Jonathan!

Jonathan and his crew were very professional and were able to match our existing custom trim and stain. The work is top notch and was done quickly and at a reasonable price. We will definitely be using them for our next project and would wholeheartedly recommend them. It was refreshing to find craftsmen that care about their work.

We chose to work with Woodmaster because we had created a very unique and custom designed kitchen plan. After working with Jonathan, we were so glad that we decided on custom cabinets. He created kitchen cabinets exactly the way we wanted and "put up with" all our design needs and special requests. (I am a contractor and appreciate the process). We were able to maximize our kitchen space and implemented all the extras we envisioned in our kitchen. I highly recommend Woodmaster. It is well worth the extra cost over manufactured box cabinets.

I can't tell enough good things about working with Jonathan. He was the nicest and smartest person we worked with on a very complicated contemporary addition. He is a joy to work with. The end result is absolutely stunning and I plan on working with Jonathan on all our future projects. I invite anyone who is considering hiring hime to see his work at my house. It really speaks for itself.

Jonathan and his crew were a pleasure to work with from day 1. They are perfectionists and built beautiful bamboo frameless cabinets for our kitchen. My husband noticed some very subtle irregularities in the finish shortly after the doors were installed - without us asking, they took every single door off and refinished all of them, at no extra cost. The cabinets are stunning. Their pricing is highly competitive. I can't recommend them highly enough.

As a former custom home builder on the Central Coast, I sought out the finest craftsmen in my local Santa Cruz County area to supply my clients with the best, cost effective products that met their requirements. When I wanted to supply materials for my own home renovation 8 years ago, I went to Woodmaster's in Santa Cruz and had Jonathan Leys make custom cabinets.
The cherry master bathroom work was exceptional. After recently noticing a slight discoloration in one cabinet drawer front, I took the adjacent door and the drawer front to Woodmaster's to see if they could re-finish the drawer to match again. Got a call to come back in and it was PERFECT. I asked how much, and was told - "nothing, glad to do it.
I remembered how hard it was to get all of that cabinetry to match back then and this is cause we care about our work". Harder to find are companies that actually value their client relationship and pride in workmanship above monetary reward. That type of service is why I continue to go there and would recommend them to others. Plus, their work is exceptional. If you want quality work done right at a fair price from a company with ethics, these folks deliver. Thanks guys.
