George Ramos Woodworking Inc

George is highly experienced, personable, and he and his crew do an extremely bespoke and professional job. I had several images for fireplace built ins, and he came over and sketched, talked through it with me, and did a perfect and clean install and paint. He even creatively made it work with our vent. Highly recommend!

I hired George for a custom wardrobe in the main bedroom. Among his impressive portfolio on his website, I found the exact style and finish that I was looking for. So, I knew he builds beautiful cabinets before I solicited for his bid. What I really appreciated about him was his and his crews' professionalism. George always answered to my questions promptly and kept me informed with the progress. I truly appreciated his succinct communication! His crew, Daniel, meticulously installed knobs and pulls for perfection!

We needed custom cabinets for an older home with an unusual space. We couldn't be happier with the results! The quality, attention to detail and craftsmanship is outstanding. Along the way, communication was excellent, all appointments and commitments were met as scheduled, and the cost of the project matched the original estimate. Overall, it was a pleasure working with George.

George built a custom desk for my office in our 1914 house. The room is shaped almost like an octagon, so it was not possible to get something off the shelf. Not only did he design something that is highly functional, but it is period-specific for our house, and his advice about many of the details was right on point.

George did a stellar job with our kitchen and executed on everything we were looking for. His care and passion was clear in the high level of craftsmanship of his work. Timeliness and communication was second to none. Highly recommend!

George and his crew of professionals built the cabinets for our recent kitchen remodel, and believe me when I say hiring George Ramos was the best decision we made during the entire process! George is an extremely talented craftsman and a consummate professional, always kind, thoughtful, patient, creative, and honest. I waffled on style, color, and layout, and George worked with me throughout the process. It was his honest appraisal of what style and layout would work best for our home, and a commitment to his craft that makes our cabinets a work of art. Friends have come into our kitchen and gasped, saying it looks like it belongs in a magazine. It’s not the white walls or the plain rectangular shape that prompts that, it is George’s cabinets. Using solid white oak, George artistically arranged the cabinet fronts and drawers to allow the beautiful sapwood and heartwood streaks to really shine. When I changed the cabinet layout, George didn’t become frustrated with me, he simply gave me honest feedback on the drawbacks of my proposal. I had my heart set on a medium brown stain, George helped me embrace the wood’s inherent beauty. Both times I listened to his advice and he was absolutely spot on. I am forever grateful for his patient guidance. I feel so fortunate to have his cabinets in my kitchen. I can’t say enough great things about working with George!

George built two built-in bookshelves that really made the room a calming and relaxing space to read and socialize. This project was the first time I worked with a builder/creator of George’s caliber, and the experience was a breeze. I shared a vague idea of what I was hoping for and George designed and built the rest. George and his colleagues have my highest recommendation.

I am so glad that we went with George Ramos for our custom built-in dry bar. We had a vision and George took our design and perfected it. His carpenters were true craftsmen, and his painting subcontractor was top notch as well. I'm an electrician and have worked in the trades for many years, and have seen good and bad contractors, and Ramos is one of the best. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family and hope to be his client again in the future. My wife is very detail oriented, and sometimes hard to please, and she was thrilled with the work and the end results.

We had a vision for what we wanted with our kitchen remodel. Scandinavian meets Japanese in design, minimal, clean lines, and lots of beautiful nordic style white oak. George didn't just get that vision. He brought it to life with so much care and consideration. Every detail is perfect, the lines are so precise, and the way the grain matches and continues across cabinets is so satisfying to look at. He poured so much care into every inch of this kitchen, the way the drawers gently open, the pulls on the fridge door, and the visible and invisible ideas he brought that make this space so beautiful yet work so brilliant. George was a amazing partner. I loved the collaboration, and I don't have enough words for how highly I would recommend him. The photos kinda speak for themselves...

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional work George did on our kitchen remodel! With our century-old house, we had specific design aspirations, and George exceeded all expectations by crafting a kitchen that perfectly captured our vision. His professionalism and collaborative approach made the entire process a joy. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love our new kitchen. We have been living in the finished space for about 4 months. The kitchen is gorgeous and functional. George and his crew were a pleasure to work with.

Collaborating with George on our kitchen remodel was a true joy. George is a wonderful person: honest, kind, responsive, prompt, and an incredible craftsman with a true eye for detail. Using my simple drawings as a guide George helped us design an old English-style kitchen with Devol inspired cabinetry. George had seemingly endless patience for all of our questions and requests for extra meetings; install was on time and George’s crew (Daniel and Nico-thank you!) were awesome. We feel so fortunate to have found George and his beautiful work truly transformed our home. A million thanks, George!

George did a great job with our custom kitchen cabinetry. We were looking to match the style that was already in our kitchen and he did it perfectly. The features he included were wonderful and very practical - pull out drawers and a pull out dog food storage area, for example. Great professional and great person.

We wanted to add built-in shelving in the living room of our 100 year old house and I wanted it look original. To achieve that, we had a specific design in mind. After getting quotes from two carpenters, I went with George. For a cohesive look, George had to build cove molding to match the rest of the room and he was very precise. The final project is even better than what I envisioned. No one can believe that the cabinets were recently built because they are so seamlessly integrated. I highly recommend George. He is a true craftsman and was very easy to work with on this collaborative project. We are thrilled with his work. Photos are before/after.

George and his team made a fantastic built-in bookcase for me, that's both functional and gorgeous. He was extremely easy to work with, and really picked up on the details of my needs. The end result is that I now love my living room! I'm definitely coming back to George if I have other carpentry needs.

The bathroom remodel I had with George was perfect. A friend recommended him to me and I couldn't be more pleased. I have a small space with limitations due to the plumbing location, so I wanted to maximize storage and have a large countertop. Unlike something from a big box store, the cabinet quality and style were worth the wait and money. It was a pleasure to work with George, he was very respectful of my home and me, and he provided me with lots of helpful ideas for the cabinet.

George and his team are amazing! He did some built ins for us that easily exceeded expectations. Can't say enough good things about the work, would definitely hire him again for future projects!

From day 1 George was very professional and informative about our project options and included our requirements in the process. He helped us design the final product and kept us up to date on the progress and timeline. Installation was swift and carefully executed with full cleanup once completed. Our new bathroom cabinet matches the existing design perfectly and we are very happy with the results!

George Ramos is the real deal. My wife and I wanted custom cabinetry and George built for us a beautiful oak vanity for our bath that was far and above our expectations. His professionalism, attention to detail and ability to work with us in the planning stage produced a finished project that will for sure add great value to our home. Great communication, affordable pricing and only the best in custom materials. George is an artist and we look forward to using him again. In short, thanks for an overall 5 star experience. Regards, Mark & Francine in SW Portland

George Ramos did a beautiful job for us building and installing cabinetry to match existing cabinetry in our Portland Craftsman home. He was lovely to work with, very dependable, and highly skilled. We are very happy with the results!

George Ramos did an absolutely awesome job for us building for us the vanities of our dreams. He is as much an artist as he is a skilled craftsman and insists upon giving his clients perfection in all he does. If you can get George to work for you I guarantee that you'll not be disappointed. A 5 star experience for sure. Thanks George!

Working with George is a pleasure. He is extremely knowledgeable about period-specific cabinetry, and the quality of his/his team's work is unmatched. He is creative, detail-oriented, and on time with what he promises! Also, he isn't just sending people to do the work... he is on site managing the install and making sure all the details are up to his standards. The end result was a huge success, and I will absolutely be working with him again.

I am someone who does NOT enjoy follow up surveys or questionnaires. Loathe them. So, for me to be motivated to write a review for George Ramos Woodworking, you can be ASSURED that they are extraordinary! Working with George and his talented crew was a pleasure. From the very start of the project, George understood my vision for redesigning our galley kitchen, and helped bring that vision to life with wonderful suggestions and expertise. George holds himself to a very high standard for the craftsmanship and quality of the cabinetry he makes, and the installation of that cabinetry. The kitchen is really the heart of the household, and to do a remodel can be very disruptive - but because communication was good and effort was made to minimize stress, the experience was very good. I need to also mention that character and ethics matter to me, from the people I work with. So, it is worth noting that besides being a skilled craftsman, George is also a truly good human being. For all these reasons, I highly recommend George Ramos Woodworking Inc.

My wife and I bought a 1922 bungalow back in the summer of 2021 that interestingly only had one built-in cabinet adjacent to the fireplace (the other side of the fireplace was just empty), and we decided that adding a twin built-in bookcase would be a lovely addition to an already lovely home (the ultimate goal being something that felt like it in the home from the beginning). In thinking about who could help us execute this, we came across George Ramos' work via the Architectural Heritage Center website, and we were really impressed by the work on his site. We connected with George to tackle the work, and we are EXTREMELY glad we did. From the moment he stepped into our house he did a wonderful job listening to what we wanted, spent time taking really detailed notes and measurements, met our expectations around communication (which are admittedly high), and set clear expectations around what he could do and what the process would be like. All great things. After living with George's (and his team's) work for about 6 months now, my wife and I are so happy that George took our project on, and the work was worth every cent. He and his team knocked the project out of the park, and we know that because not only do we love the work (it's a perfect compliment to the original built-in), but various folks who have seen the work didn't even realize the new built-in wasn't original to the house. That's how good this project is, and that's how good George and his team are. We are thinking about a few more projects for the house that are akin to this one, and we will absolutely be reaching out to George again, which is a mark of just how excellent our experience was with him, his team, and the end result of our first go-round.

Sweet George Ramos is a joy to work with. I found him just through the internet and was so glad to finally stumble across the type of passionate, eclectic, driven carpenter that I was looking for. George and I designed a brand new kitchen together for me and we worked together on the remodel from start to finish. He was very willing to take on the unique design ideas I had percolating and he was always ready to help me translate what I wanted into what would feel like the smartest and most practical choices from his expert perspective. George works in an extremely timely manner and works quickly, but not hastily. His work is truly thorough and it shows in his execution of final product. He's a very clear communicator and all around pleasant person to collaborate with. And I certainly can't finish the review without at least one nod to his personal style!! This guy is truly cool and if that's what you're looking for in your own remodel, look no further. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Thank goodness we found George for our custom closet in our master bedroom. We had "dead space" along an entire wall in our bedroom and wanted to make good use of it. We had contacted the average "custom" closet manufacturers and were left feeling disappointed by the lack of options and quality. We found George's website and his work looked fantastic! Working with him was equally as fantastic. He worked creatively within our budget, was open to our ideas about making something unique and fun, as well as functional. We talked through design ideas, stains for the wood, functionality, hardware, etc. He provided solutions, answers to our questions, and was a great collaborator. During and after the install, I was enamored with how high-quality the wood and finishing touches were. Each drawer, cabinet door and surface looks and feels amazing to use. Even the metal bars for our hanging items are top-notch and super durable! Better than we expected. We will certainly work with him in the future for another project, and would recommend him to anyone looking for something truly custom and artful. Thanks George!

Could not be more pleased with George's work. Was looking to refresh our 1920's kitchen in Ladd's Addition and he nailed it. Reconstructed the exact style of the originals, but with all the modern conveniences like soft close drawers and magnetic close cabinet doors. He also rebuilt several custom doors for our built ins - paying close attention to the details like the moulding on the INSIDE of the cab doors. He had a wealth of knowledge and recommendations for hardware options. Couldn't be more happy.

Wow. We are so thrilled with George’s work and professionalism, and we are so lucky that our project completed just as the COVID shutdown came into effect: we have had the opportunity to love our home with amazement and joy every day. We started with a relatively clear idea of what we wanted: three sets of built-ins in two rooms, including one large window seat. George helped us refine the plans and reality-checked them. He did a great job of validating requirements, and visited us several times to make sure the plans were right. And he created 3D renderings, so we could see the project before work began. Our home is old and drastically out of square, but George made everything fit perfectly. The work ran smoothly, and everyone who was here on site was courteous, professional, and did top quality work. He also introduced us to someone who created gorgeous custom upholstered cushions for the seating (Cush Upholstery, also highly recommended). We couldn’t be happier and we hope to have an opportunity to have George create more wonder for us in the future.

George’s work is 2nd to none! I am completely thrilled with my new office! He went above and beyond my expectations. I hired George to design and build a custom desk and bookcase for our home office. The quality of the work is excellent. You cannot find anything in a furniture store that is even close to this quality. The cost was well worth it and I would hire George again and again. Shannon

I wanted a skilled woodworker who could build cabinets and countertops that would look original to my 1912 house, and George did a wonderful job! He completed the project on time and within budget, and I always knew what to expect next, which made it easy to work with the plumber and electrician. I will definitely use George again

George Ramos and his team are the epitome of professionalism and it was a pleasure to have them in our home. We commissioned George to do three built ins for our master bedroom, a king sized bed, an entertainment center and a dresser. They also rebuilt a storage closet with drawers in a different part of our house. Our house was built in 1926 so this was not an easy task given stairs, halls and angles. They had to figure out how to build the pieces in his shop and then deconstruct to get them up the stairs, a mathematical feat. The pieces match the period of the home perfectly and are the workmanship is exquisite. All wood, dovetail joints, just perfect. We are very happy with the finished pieces and will hire him again to do additional projects in our much loved home. Communication was great, work was on time and a small glitch with paint was remedied immediately. We will follow with pictures when the electricians and flooring are complete.

George was a delight to work with. I love the built-in cabinet he installed in our old craftsman-style home. It fits right in with the original woodwork. I greatly appreciated George's knowledge and attention to detail at every step of the project. He is a great listener and creative problem solver. Highly recommend!

Words can’t even describe how much our home’s look and functionality have changed since George built our new cabinetry. I hired George as a referral from a good friend (who is also very particular about period craftsmanship). Our colonial home is nearly 100 years old and had no storage on the main floor. In our great room, he built a floor-to-ceiling drawer and cabinet storage area to Store kids games and hide media components hide media components, as well as embed a heat vent. He also made a corner coat closet with shelves and drawers above and below. In our kitchen, he built an in-wall pantry and utility cabinet, creatively using the dead space of The corner closet on the opposite wall. The masterpiece was in our dining room! George built a beautiful original-looking bar / hutch piece with wine storage, plenty of shelving and drawers and in-cabinet lighting with glass shelves. George was incredibly patient and thorough. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were much appreciated and he came up with many solutions to challenges. He was very flexible with some last-minute changes and his pricing was very reasonable. George has a true appreciation for historic homes and his craftsmanship is impeccable. I would highly recommend him.

I received three bids for new cabinets in our kitchen and bath and awarded the contract to George Ramos because he actively solicited my input when bidding the project - it was important to him to capture what I wanted, not just what he wanted to build. His prices were reasonable. During the project I found him to be very creative, honest and forthright. If I asked for a design change, he accommodated it easily and thoughtfully. George takes great pride in his work, and it shows. He stuck to his time schedule, and treated our place with respect and care. I highly recommend George!

We hired a cabinet maker that bailed on us in the middle of our kitchen remodel. Luckily, we found George Ramos! We had a completely unusable kitchen with unfinished and missing cabinetry -- a real challenge! George Ramos swooped in and within a day we were at least partially functional, and within a couple weeks we had the completed kitchen of our dreams. Working with George versus our previous contractor was night and day. George showed up when he said he would; he promptly communicated with us at all times; and the quality of his craftsmanship was excellent. George has mad skills and a great crew to boot!

George did some custom cabinet work in our laundry which already had some existing cabinets. The work is extremely well done, and the new customs cabinets blend perfectly with the old ones. Price was reasonable, and George is very nice to work with.

George brought a wonderful combination of artistic creativity, craftsmanship, and practicality to our kitchen remodel. He helped us finalize the design for our cabinet re-do, and then built them most beautifully. He had great ideas to optimize our space and use the design to transition from one space to another. The result is a lovely, functional, new kitchen, that fits our older home perfectly. We practically live in it when we're at home and awake :). George is also a good communicator, listener, and problem solver. He works efficiently and got along great with us and our general contractor. We recommend him highly!

My husband and I hired George Ramos Woodworking to convert a small room off our entryway into a fully functioning mudroom, complete with floor to ceiling cupboards, cubbies, drawers and benches. We live in a restored 1913 craftsman home with lots of built-ins and mill work, so wanted the mudroom to look as original as possible by matching the look and feel of the rest of the house. George and I started by discussing the potential of building out 2 of the walls, but ultimately he recommended we utilize all available walls to create a more useful and cohesive space. I spent many hours researching photos and came up with a rough sketch of what I wanted. I shared these ideas with George and he was quick to provide design sketches that reflected my ideas. From there he was exceedingly patient and flexible with the project as it passed from design phase to construct. I made various changes along the way and he was able to work these in without a hitch. Not once did he push back or show frustration with my changes, he simply figured out a way to make it work. Having been around for most of the install and painting I can say with confidence that George and his team were hard working, friendly, courteous, and exhibited a high degree of detail in all they did. Their commitment to quality was evident and it was reassuring to know that things were done right. They were also dedicated to keeping a clean workspace which was much appreciated. Communication with George was smooth and he responds in a timely manner. With the exception of a slight weather delay, once started the mudroom was completed on time and without interruption. From beginning to end the experience of working with George was overwhelmingly positive. His work is top notch and I could not be happier with the way the mudroom turned out. I would highly recommend his services and will likely call on him again for future home improvement projects.

The beautiful built-ins George made to surround our fireplace are exactly what we had hoped they would be! I would not hesitate to refer friends to George--he is not only creative and talented, but fun and easy to work with. George is not finished with a job until the homeowner is satisfied!

Although it took a while to connect for an estimate, George Ramos did exactly as I asked. I wanted just a simple, plain white wood mantle for a fireplace with odd shapes of the walls surrounding it. He gave me an estimate in the morning and it was installed the same afternoon.

I can"t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with George on our kitchen. He built gorgeous custom cabinets for our remodel. He has a wonderful artistic sense, and is a precise and talented cabinet maker. The work was done on time and on budget, but most importantly, it is beautiful and functional. George always responded quickly and competently to all of our requests and concerns. He is a pleasure to work with.

George was a pleasure to work with. He is highly skilled in his work. Beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail.

We're thrilled with the work George did for us! From initial conception through installation, George's professionalism and craftsmanship guaranteed that the project matched the house, our ideas, and our budget. (In fact, the project came in under budget!) The cabinet and wainscot are beautiful and we're so happy we selected George Ramos for this job.

We had George make a built-in entertainment center for our TV room. We chose George because of neighborhood recommendations and we are very happy with the results. His work is of a very high standard. From the start of the project with the planning stages and through to the final painting, George and his crew were a pleasure to work with and communicated well and quickly. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants a quality job done!

We were looking for someone who was creative but would remain faithful to the Craftsman style of our home. George is very knowlegable about period design elements and he created a beautiful set of kitchen cabinets for our 1936 Irvington home. We developed the plan over a couple of meetings . George worked up nice digital sketches, and then adjusted them, as the project progressed. He was easy going, yet professional and focused on the task at hand. He takes great pride in is work and went the extra mile to make sure that we were happy with the end result. George is efficient and always responded quickly to emails and phone calls. He helped us stay right on schedule. We found a cabinet design on Houzz that had a lightly distressed finish. Distressing can be challenging and takes an artistic eye. George offered to do it for us and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Overall George was enjoyable to work with and he’s highly skilled at his craft so the finished product is extremely well done.

George was easy to work with and had great ideas to share on the project. Work was done very professionally. We really love the new mantel and bookcases, really fits in to the craftsman style of our home.

George has completed 3 projects in my 1924 Craftsman home - a built-in nook table and benches, a built-in shoe/coat cabinet + bench, and some integrated shelving in our recently remodeled basement. George does impeccable work, if he is busy, wait for him you won't regret it. Whatever he builds in your home will be beautiful and last generations.

George built a custom L-shaped bench for our breakfast room and we are very pleased with it. The process was simple - I contacted George by email, shared some pins with him and within a week he was at my house taking measurements and asking questions so he could prepare a bid. We agreed on a design and price and while I don't recall when the bench was ready for installation, it was quicker than I expected. It was painted in short order and it looks great. George was a pleasure to deal with, easy to communicate with and is clearly a talented carpenter and cabinet maker. I highly recommend him.

George was wonderful to work with! He custom made all of our kitchen cabinets, banquette table and mudroom cabinets. He was professional and personable and full of ideas when needed. He had great attention to detail and 100% delivered the kitchen cabinets we asked for. The members of his team were also professional, polite and skilled. I would absolutely recommend him!!

I first spoke with George this spring about our kitchen restoration project. It didn't take long to figure out that he was the best choice for this project. He truly had is finger on the pulse of what my wife and I were trying to accomplish with this kitchen restoration. His work is excellent, and he is very good with communication and idea generation. His work for us included cabinetry, counter tops, and a beautiful breakfast nook banquette made of 100+ year old reclaimed wood. So, if you are looking for someone to create period 1910-1920's woodworking for your home, look no further. George Ramos Woodworking is the only name you will need.

George replaced two very important valet key cabinet doors at the hotel I work at. This cabinet has a magnetic lock and contains all of the keys for our guest's vehicles. Having them replaced, and quickly was paramount. George came in and took some measurements, and the next day, both doors were replaced. I was able to repaint them immediately and put them back in service. I highly recommend the skills of this man. Very pleased and I will be a repeat customer.

We actually liked our old kitchen, but it wasn't functional. We dragged our feet, but finally decided to replace all of the cabinets, top and bottom, so that we had the depth required for a dishwasher. George had the best design idea of the people we consulted, and the best price for the quality of materials and workmanship he offered. He was easy to work with, a good listener, responsive to email, coordinated and worked well with our contractor, and the end result is beautiful. We are very happy that we redid our kitchen, and that we had George design and build our cabinets. We have already recommended him to two friends.

George is amazing! He was incredibly easy to work with, he did a great job of guiding me through the decision making, providing expert insights and keeping me up to speed with the timeline. He was even able to accommodate my request an additional cabinet on install day, the design just needed it! My kitchen cabinets are gorgeous but not just that, they are also sturdy, functional and did I mention gorgeous. His product is worth every penny! The first thing folks say when then enter my kitchen is "Wow, look at those cabinets!"

We found George through his website and were so blessed to work with him on our home renovation! He is meticulous in his work, a problem solver, creative and artistic. Whenever a problem arose, George worked hard to find a solution that met our needs and design preferences. I have no hesitations in recommending George and his team for any job you have!

George built a beautiful custom sideboard for our 1917 craftsman bungalow in Laurelhurst. He was able to meticulously match the dimensions of what had originally been there (the original had been removed by previous owners), and this one looks like it's always been there. I would highly recommend George to anyone needing custom cabintery, furniture or any other period details for their home.

George's work exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with the custom cabinet doors he built and installed in our dining area. We had a large area of open shelving and needed to close the shelves up to create more "behind closed doors" storage! He always returned my calls/texts in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend George's work and will certainly be using him for future projects.

I hired George to do the cabinets for a kitchen remodel I was doing in Portland. The job was very specific and had lot's of details. He worked very closely with my client and I, met deadlines, and was very professional. The kitchen cabinets were built very well and quality was great. He was great to work with and my client is very happy with her new kitchen.

George did a wonderful job with our project, which included built-in bookcases on either side of our fireplace and a built-in buffet in our dining room. I felt he really listened to our vision, which helped us collaborate on a mock up / design that fit the look and feel of our home. Once we settled on the final design and price, he provided a realistic timeline and delivered accordingly. I really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him for any fine wood working project you may have.

George's work exceeded my (high) expectations. His design was thoughtful, creative and really efficient. He worked quickly and was incredibly professional throughout. He's the best! I definitely recommend George Ramos Woodworking!

George is a true craftsman and was a pleasure to work with. He is creative, artistic and does impeccable work. George crafted a beautiful new table for our kitchen booth, an entry bench, and a new counter. He listened closely to our ideas and visions for the projects. George was also willing to make some last-minute modifications to one of the projects. .We could not recommend him more highly. He is currently working on designing a built-in desk for us and we could not be more excited.

George Ramos made a custom fir vanity and medicine cabinet door for our master bathroom. My husband and I are quite happy with the job he did. It's a beautifully made cabinet that fits the room perfectly and is exactly what I was hoping for. George also, at the last minute, made a new medicine cabinet door for us. I would have given him 5 stars if we didn't have a miscommunication at the beginning of the job; we had thought we hired him in September, but it turns out we needed to put down a 50% deposit before start. So there were many weeks (about 6) when we thought he was working on our order but he hadn't even started because we hadn't correctly hired him. I would happily hire him again.

George Ramos is a master of his craft. He has invaluable wood working experience, and the photos of his projects prove it. My wife and I had a very difficult experience with a prior contractor, who actually passed away in the middle of our kitchen renovation. A very difficult situation for all involved. And so began the search for a contractor willing to pick up where he left off. There were countless that weren't willing to take on the project at all because it was already partially finished. Not George. He returned calls promptly, came to our house to review the project within the week, and provided us a bid, which to our surprise, was quite competitive for custom kitchen cabinets. And, rest assured, this isn't because he's not popular, either. He heard our story and wanted to help. There were a few change requests throughout the project, which George accommodated in a very fair fashion. And in the end, we are beyond pleased with the finished product. Our cabinets are better than we imagined, and it was a pleasure working with such a responsive, talented artist and businessman. Long story short, we would highly recommend George Ramos, you won't be disappointed.

My kitchen remodel is almost 3 years old, but I love it even more now than when it was brand new. It was a complete pleasure to work with George. I had limited space, some odd angles, numerous doorways, and other limitations. With a limited budget, I had to work with the footprint that was there. George's ideas were very helpful, and his craftsmanship is wonderful. He was easy to communicate and work with, prompt, and always left things clean. I've had dozens of different projects in my old home, and my experience with George and his work was definitely a top experience. And the compliments keep coming. Thank you, George.

Project summary: cabinet design, build, and layout for full kitchen remodel; 1920s craftsman bungalow galley kitchen With a small kitchen footprint, we knew custom sized cabinets were a necessity in order to maximize the space of the kitchen. We considered several options for kitchen layout and cabinets; we selected George Ramos Woodworking because of his willingness to work with us on a layout for the kitchen and his ideas for cabinet design. George worked with us on a kitchen layout and cabinet design to maximize space and utility within the existing footprint of the kitchen. His cabinet design blended modern cabinet functionality with period details of the original house. It was a pleasure working with George on the design, and he was very accommodating of us as homeowners acting as the general contractor coordinating the project and schedule. Communication during the project was very good - very responsive by email, text, and phone regarding design elements and scheduling his work. Changes in cabinet design and/or features during the completion of the work were accommodated with ease and little additional cost (and some with no cost adjustment).

We hired George to build custom kictchen cabinets and were thrilled with the results and the process of working with him. We met with the architectural drawings and he made some great suggestions that really elevated the end result including: -Using solid walnut and grain matching the cabinet faces from floor to ceiling. -Routing out a pocket in the faces to inset custom leather and brass pulls. -Creating a custom heat vent in the toe kick. -Floating walnut shelfs that are adjustable. -Flush mount adjustable LED strip lighting under cabinets and shelfs. We challenged George to build a solid non-rectilinear walnut range hood which became the focal point of the kitchen. The installation went pretty smoothly although the refridgerator we spec'd doesn't fit quite flush. The final quality on the cabinets is awesome. The hand rubbed OSMO finish makes a big difference and is easy to clean / repair compared to plasticky laquer finishes. The project came in slightly over budget as the solid walnut proved to be more expensive than originally estimated. We would definitely hire George again for our next project.

I initially found George Ramos Woodworking through Houzz. I then went to his website and saw a number of kitchens and projects he had worked on. I was immediately drawn to his work, the overall kitchens were beautiful but the artistry of his woodworking stood out even more. When I first contacted George, I was struck by how concise and straightforward he was with me, all the while taking the time to answer all of my questions with a genuine interest in our project. He was upfront with how he worked, how many kitchens and projects he had going on at any one time, and he prided himself on getting things done on time. He was happy to provide a bid via email on a layout we had already drawn up. He was prompt. Like next day prompt, and gave us a bid that he stood behind. We had 3 other carpenters bid our job but it was truly a no brainer when it came to our choice. We had someone who was an extremely talented woodworker, who was professional and honest, someone we felt would give us great ideas, and someone who gave us a competitive bid. He was also environmentally conscious and gravitated towards products and materials that upheld this value. Our house was hand built by its original owner. It is a special place and we wanted our kitchen remodel to stay true to the house’s original design and feel. I can’t even count the number of suggestions and details that George added to the plans which made the kitchen feel updated, classic, yet true to the house’s original charm. He was clearly interested and invested in the overall project and this was invaluable to us. Working with George felt like we were working with an old friend. He cared, he checked in, and all the while he was efficient, detail oriented and on time. I believe I already mentioned he was prompt.. Emails or phone calls were returned within minutes sometimes. George’s communication style was awesome, easy and productive. Needless to say, our expectations were met and exceeded. We are in love with our kitchen. George did absolutely beautiful work and the detail and thoughtfulness of his work shines through every time we look at it. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to work with George.

George was an absolute pleasure to work with. Working with him was the best choice I made during my whole house remodel process. The quality of his work is outstanding and he's extremely flexible and savvy during the design process. He's also a great guy! Highly recommended!

George just completed my dream home office, and I couldn't be happier! I didn't know it was possible to be in love with a desk! George came highly recommended by neighbors on Nextdoor.com. I contacted him with a sampling of my ideas for a desk to fit my small home office space, and gave him the sketch attached here. Within just two mock-up rounds, we had the final plan. In just under 5 months from initial contact to installation - I'm ecstatic with the final result. I will say, I had to let go of a little of my OCD nature in working with George. I wasn't aware of every minute detail of the type of wood that would be used, exact dimensions, exact finishes, or even a good idea of what the schedule would be for completion -- I chose to trust that everything would be fine and overall, I will honestly say that his work surpassed my expectations and was worth waiting for! There were even unexpected features like hinges that don't allow doors and drawers to slam, and a neat last minute waterfall treatment at the end of one side of the desk. My only complaint is that the desk is too beautiful for all my office binders & frames... now I have to upgrade everything! :) I am already making a list of other things to hire George for in my house... I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

We are thrilled with the cabinetry George did for our kitchen. He built a cabinet to house our refrigerator and an adjacent desk/work area. It looks better than I even imagined. He did a wonderful job of matching it to the style and detail of our existing vintage cabinetry. George was a pleasure to work with as well. He was easy to talk with, had wonderful ideas, and asked great questions to really get at what I wanted in the project. George responded to all of my calls and questions promptly and the cabinet was finished sooner than I'd expected. Overall, this project exceeded my expectations in every way and I would definitely recommend George Ramos Woodworking.

George has done a lot of work in our house (kitchen, bathroom and bedroom). He looks at and improves the overall design, makes great style suggestions and thinks of details that make a difference. He has made our house a very beautiful place to live. He also brings creative solutions to unique space constraints we have which has made our home very functional. If you want a stunning house call George!

George has worked with us on an entire kitchen remodel as well as a small bathroom remodel in our 1908 bungalow here in Portland. The kitchen turned out stunning and we get compliments on it all the time from everyone who walks through (listed as Morgan's kitchen on Houzz). The cabinetry work is stunning and five years later it looks just as it did the day it was installed. We chose to use doug fir for all of cabinetry and coudn't be happier. George was extremely flexible in working with us on the design; we had a bunch of ideas and he offered up some new ones and we came together with a really nice layout. The bathroom, although much smaller, has also turned out really well. I am less happy with the painted cabinets because the paint is wearing off around the knobs and it shows all the dirty fingerprints etc on them (this is not a reflection of George but something to consider if you are installing new cabinets). He did the job easily and with limited interuption to our lives. George is a delight to have around; very personable and agreeable. He works hard and strives to meet his deadlines. His work is meticulous. We have recommended him to many of our friends as well! He comes to the table with a lot of design knowledge from the era of your house as well as his professional experience that he can provide a lot of design suggestions...and he won't charge you an arm and a leg for that insight like many designers/architects will. For any future projects we have around our house, or any future house we might buy, George is always at the top of our list to call.

George brings craftsmanship to the highest standards. He is professional, collaborative and knowledgeable - plus he's a very nice guy! His work is beautiful, truly aesthetic yet functional. I would recommend his services to all my clients.

George was great to work with. We co-designed our kitchen cabinets together and he had some superb ideas and excellent contributions. He built the cabinets very quickly, and did a fantastic job installing them even though our kitchen is super-wonky and crooked, being over 100 years old. Our kitchen is beautiful, thanks to George -- it's even been covered in two magazines. We love and enjoy our kitchen everyday, and always wonder why we didn't remodel it sooner. We have since had George build some inset drawers in our knee-walls upstairs that are similarly amazing. Thanks George!

Design, fabrication and installation of large built-in entertainment center and attached bench storage. Painted to match existing trim. Fabricated and installed reclaimed fir countertops along a portion of the built-ins. George was a pleasure to work with. He was very punctual and completed the job in a timely fashion. He had great design insights and was very accommodating in working off of and improving the design ideas we provided to him. George worked through a unique installation situation (uneven floor in basement) and it turned out great. The quality of the cabinetry is amazing, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. Don't underestimate the importance of having a true craftsman like George design and build your cabinetry - especially if you live in one of Portland's many great older neighborhoods and want to maintain period-correct details and quality craftsmanship. We also found George to be very reasonable price-wise.

George was very professional. He was willing to work with my budget and stage the project. He designed and built a hutch for my dinning room to replace the one removed by a previous owner. He built the lower section one year and then the upper section the next year. He was attentive to detail and matched the wood and stain to the existing woodwork. He was prompt in returning phone calls and keeping me appraised of his progress. The hutch has provided much needed storage and display space and complements the style of the house.

We hired George Ramos to build custom cabinets for our kitchen remodeling project. George was fantastic to work with. He is a highly skilled woodworker: he followed our plans exactly and the cabinets he made are gorgeous and of top quality. In addition, George has excellent communication skills. He always either answered our phone calls/emails right away or returned them quickly, and gave thoughtful and intelligent responses to our queries no matter how large or small. He also gave us great advice on handling design challenges that we encountered along the way. George has a real eye for design, a calm and friendly manner, and a strong desire to get the job done right. We would work with him again in a heartbeat. In fact, after our kitchen project we hired him again to upgrade some built-in cabinets in our dining room. For any future cabinet projects, George will be our guy. Highly recommended!

George was great to work with! He very creatively designed and constructed a built in TV cabinet that blends in perfectly in our 1896 home. The carpentry is precise and beautiful. He came in right on our agreed budget and was very easy to work with. I highly recommend his work and would hire him again!

George is a fabulous cabinetmaker with superb quality at very reasonable prices. I've worked with George both as a designer, in which cases he's built my designs to exacting details, and as a client, where he's done some really incredible work with some very unforgiving materials. Any decent cabinetmaker can do paint grade work, but George can do perfect work in natural material with all sides of the cabinet exposed. And he's very flexible and creative, willing to experiment with new designs, materials, and technologies. Finally, George's friendly and confident manner puts my clients at ease that they're in the hands of a master craftsman, so I love calling George in on a project whenever I can.

We converted our eat-in kitchen to a mudroom with custom cabinets designed and built by George Ramos. Working with him was very easy-- he listened closely to our needs and made great suggestions for the design. George was also invaluable for advice about wood types, finishes, trims, hardware, and more. The finished project is beautiful and functional while also meeting our budget. Additionally, he was quick to resolve any minor issues and questions that cropped up along the way and after completion. I would recommend him highly. This is also our second custom woodworking project with George. The first was a built-in dresser and cabinet.

George did all the cabinetry for an attic conversion to master bed/bath in our home, plus he built a bedframe and nightstands for the project. We couldn't have been happier with George and his work. George has an artist's sensibility and an appreciation for sustainability, both of which were very important to us. He used primarily reclaimed wood for a gorgeous sliding door and floating shelves that have LED downlighting. His cabinetry for our master bath is beautiful. He was professional, easy going, and flexible to work with, plus he delivered his product when he said he would, and he dealt graciously with setbacks that arose during the project which affected his timeframe for installing the cabinets. He has very high standards for his work. We would definitely hire him again.

I've worked with George on several projects over the last 7 years. He has always been focused on quality and creativity. We have recommended him with complete confidence for any custom woodwork or cabinetry solution. He can get busy, but for good reason. Adam

I showed George photos of cabinets I wanted and other design pieces from my house so he could capture the craftsman feel for the kitchen style I wanted. He designed cabinets that perfectly fit my ideas! He used quartersawn oak and worked it into beautiful craftsmanship and detail. Gearge is great to work with and happily responds to my ideas, questions and concerns. I already have another project in mind that George is building for me. I highly recommend George for his attention to detail, craftsmanship, skill, and easy-going personality.

Our kitchen project was challenging, requiring creativity, skill, and appreciation of our budget. Our 1919 kitchen was desperate for an update, dishwasher, adequate counters and storage. George listened carefully to our needs and wishes, and developed exceptional plans - within our budget. His work (and that of his subs) was excellent, timely, affordable. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Thoughtful, creative, and with a keen eye for detail, George Ramos is a wonderful cabinetmaker..and all-around great guy. I recommend George to my clients when they are looking to create something truly unique for their home.

George is a great Cabinet Maker with a keen eye for detail and great with creative ideas for design, etc. We enjoy working with him on our customer remodel projects as well as our spec homes.
