Millcraft

We hired Mark to repair a very old staircase that had been neglected for years. He made them like new and was very efficient with his time. Communication was great, and all of the work was done on schedule. We plan to work with him again in the Spring to do some additional woodwork.

Mark is a fantastic collaborator and master craftsman. We have a humble 1922 home with original details that we wanted to accentuate with custom cabinetry and Mark guided us through the process. He built custom bookshelves and benches and a secretary desk on our first floor. On our second floor, he built custom closets. All of the work was of the highest quality and he paid serious attention to detail - even when our old uneven home posed some difficulties. He's also very pleasant. We even felt so comfortable with him that he worked in our house solo while we went on vacation. Thanks for all our hard work, Mark!

We have used Millcraft for several projects and have been extremely happy with each one. We have used Millcraft to build and install a built in bookcase and wine rack, a staircase, a barn door for our office and a mudroom. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and professional and was very helpful with coming up with different ideas for our projects. Millcraft is very detail oriented and the work is completed with precision and on a timely basis with the end result always being exactly what we wanted and beautiful. We would highly recommend Millcraft and have already engaged Millcraft for our next project.

Mark is an exceptional professional at his trade. He did an excellent , quality job not only with constructing and installing my wife's walk in closet but he was also superb at understanding her needs and then providing a design. He sat down with us and was more than willing to change and improve per our wishes. His prices are very reasonable and the quality and workmanship are top notch. The closet he installed cost less than a California closet setup but was much better quality and better design. My wife loves her new closet and I highly recommend him.

Mark did an amazing job with both a built-in bar & cabinet for our mud room. He handled everything from A to Z.. From developing plans to the final touches on installation. We highly recommend!

We hired Mark to upgrade and replace 155 balusters on the staircase in our entry foyer. He sourced high quality, decorative balusters; had them painted white in a furniture grade baked-on enamel; and installed them perfectly over a two day period. We hired him during the height of the pandemic - and he was extremely flexible responding to our ultra-conservative scheduling requirements. He is extremely professional, works unobtrusively, and left the house cleaner than when he started. I would not hesitate to hire Mark for any carpentry work in my home

Millcraft was great to work with! Mark took the time to measure and really asses the space for what would look good style and comfort wise for our window seat. The space was 12’ long so it was a big space to cover as well as the need to consider the heat and plugs underneath. Everything worked out great, he came when he said he would and cleaned up the space when he was done. Would definitely recommend!

We hired Mark to restore the wrap around porch on our Ridgewood Victorian home. Other contractors we talked with were only interested in rebuilding it with new materials and at a very high cost. Mark painstakingly restored the beautiful existing mill work and patiently crafted and replaced the pieces that could not be restored. We enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend Mark Moran, a true artist and craftsman, for any project.

The first time I hired Mark was to build me an Arts and Crafts railing for a stairway from my kitchen to my family room. I provided him with a photo of what I liked and he re-created it for me perfectly. The workmanship surpassed anything I could have imagined and he even came up with a way to hide an unsightly hole that was left by the old railing that fit in perfectly with the design of the new railing. Many many months later I hired him to build me an Arts and Crafts mantle for a fireplace that is surrounded by what can only be considered the most difficult foundation for a carpenter to work with. The stonework that I am talking about is very uneven and presented a tremendous obstacle for attaching the beautiful mantle he made to the stone. However after much consideration and research he actually cut out parts of the back of the mantle so they would seamlessly fit against the stone and the stones that were protruding too much for him to work with he sanded down for me! I almost don’t want to leave this glowing review for him because I want to keep him a secret so that he can be my personal Arts and Crafts carpenter. I cannot recommend him enough. He answers all inquiries and emails in a timely fashion and is very patient with changes and indecision on the part of his client. He is also reasonably priced for the incredible work that he does. He also uses the highest quality wood. You will not be disappointed with anything that he creates for you.

Mark Moran is the artist behind the carpentry work here. He is our 'go to' and has completed the most basic tasks to the most elaborate ones we have, methodically, efficiently and with the added ability to make suggestions subtly that all of us need in many situations. His work for us includes: creating a walk in closet where there was no easy way to do it; small B/R built in wood wall unit w/closet, drawers, shelves and desk; a magnificent conversion of an old worn out lemonade porch (never used) to an enclosed 3-season favorite sun room and #1 hangout; large paneled trellis with metal accents for our back patio and the list goes on. If you want craftsmanship over the typical 'bang it out' mentality, he is at the top of the list.

Millcraft was recommended to me by a trusted friend, so it was with confidence that I called Mark for an estimate for a looming project in my commercial work space. I could not be happier with my experience, from start to finish. The transformation of my office space is unbelievable. Highly recommend Mark for his professionalism, guidance and quality of work!

I was very happy with this company's work. They were hired to modify my existing stair and add new railings to the staircase. In terms of the project, I was given a reasonable price to do the work. The quality of the work is excellent and done in a timely basis. I plan to talk to them to do other work on my house.
