Metropolitan Woodworking

We loved working with Metropolitan Woodworking! They designed, built, and installed a lovely wall of built-in cabinets/shelves/a desk in our home. Their team was very kind and thorough with a lot of attention to detail. We would happily work with them again!

High-quality work, good communication and friendly employees. We're very pleased with our new built-in cabinets and shelves from Metropolitan Woodworking!

Metropolitan Woodworking helped to design and build a beautiful dresser. I cannot recommend them enough. Trent was outstanding to work with. He worked with me to come up with exactly what I wanted. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. From designing to installation, it was a very smooth process. The quality of the dresser is so beautiful. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you!

Dave Scholar & his team worked with us to design and install a perfect banquette for our breakfast room. It is so well-done, solid, and inviting. I'm immediately drawn to the space. They did beautiful work and are extremely responsive to communication. Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend Metropolitan Woodworking enough! I (and everyone around me I am sure) consider myself a tough client with a very particular attention to details and nuances. However, Dave and his team (Luis and Oscar) delivered above and beyond and were flexible (and very reasonable) in accommodating the multitude of requests/changes/additions. I am due to remodel my kitchen sometime soon, and they will be my go-to guys for that for sure =)

We highly recommend Metropolitan Woodworking. We had a vision for bookshelves and two desks in a study that we hoped could also serve as a guest room, and we weren't sure how it was all going to come together. We got several bids for the project, and from the very first meeting, Dave and Trent set themselves apart. They listened really well and were very knowledgeable and articulate about both design and construction. So we were able to talk through different options and arrive at the best one. Their prices came in on par, and quite simply, we just had so much more confidence in them. We never had any doubt in their ability to do an excellent job. And we were right! From drawings to installation, everyone on their team was a total professional. The finished room looks magnificent. It's a perfect solution for us, and is so beautifully crafted. We couldn't be more pleased.

Metropolitan Woodworking has done great work in our home over the years. We had them design and build a library and remodel the cabinetry in our home. Then we had them back to do built in bookcases in a home office. Then we had them back to design and build an entertainment center and bookcases in our bedroom. What this should tell you is that we keep asking them back to do more over the past decade because they do such great work. Best I have ever seen and we get many compliments on the work.

My husband and I are thrilled with the cabinetry and custom closets we received from Metropolitan Woodworking. We live in a historic home with unusual spaces and challenging storage needs; they created beautiful spaces that perfectly balanced style with function. From design to installation, Metropolitan Woodworking was incredibly responsive to our preferences and concerns, thoughtful in their recommendations, and precise in the creation of the final product. Despite some challenges on our part with travel, they remained completely professional and communication was a breeze throughout the process. We cannot recommend them more highly for any custom work you may need, large or small! Our project included the following: -two large built-in cabinets for our living room that had to accommodate unusual HVAC venting and a large mounted TV with the related AV wiring (installation was made more difficult due to plaster walls requiring additional brackets); -a built-in closet of shelves (functions as a floor-to-ceiling armoire in the room) as well as a walk-in closet designed with hanging rods and shelves for our master bedroom (again, installation was complicated by plaster walls and electrical wiring in multiple spaces). Pricing was very competitive and final quality exceeded our expectations. ~ the Whalens

Houseworks Interiors has worked with Dave Scholar and his talented team of cabinet makers for well over 8 years. Dave's broad experience, careful attention to detail, sense of balance, proportion and design, and finishing and installation expertise is evidenced in the final product. We recommend Metropolitan Woodworking and look forward to working with them on future projects.

The design process and recommendations for a wall unit with cabinets, drawers, bar area, shelves and drawers - was professional and thorough. I highly recommend metropolitan for quality workmanship - with courteous, professional and skilled craftsmen.

Built in a wardrobe style closed with custom tie drawers. The project was complicated by the age of our house and floors, walls, and ceilings. The crew was professional polite and took their time on the job. They stuck with it much longer than anticipated to get it right, and we are very pleased with the final product.

Metropolitan Woodworking was recommended to us by a neighbor in our Bethesda condominium. We were taking a fairly small second bedroom and changing it from a bedroom space into an office/guest bedroom. What Dave Scholar immediately understood was the "space" issue. His built-in was exactly the right size to meet our needs and to keep the room as open and spacious as possible. Doug, Dave's craftsman, was wonderful in his workmanship and his courtesy at arriving when scheduled and cleaning up after each appointment. We could not be happier. We now have two neighbors who after our room converted are having their rooms renovated in a similar way. We cannot say enough about how happy we are with Metropolitan Woodworking and the room they created for us. Elizabeth & Dale Snape
