The firm specializes in creating custom, built-in cabinetry and furniture. "We actually do quite a few antique reproductions pieces, and we use a lot of recla imed mater ia ls ," notes Krafton. Offering a full spectrum of finishes, Krafton Woodworks can complete your project in any finish, from handrubbed to high-gloss lacquer.

"We're opening a second mill shop to divide our work into two — one for furniture making and one for cabinet production," explains K r a f ton . " The new shop, located i n Sandwich, MA, opened in late September 2011. We're looking forward to continuing a great run and continuing our growth." The firm uses a lot of reclaimed wood in its projects, both in cabinets and in furniture pieces. "utilizing older wood, with its character, is a big part of what we do with custom furniture. Also, a lot of designers are looking for an exact size for a table that might be difficult to achieve with an antique, but we can meet it with one of our reproduction pieces," notes Krafton. The company also offers full insta llation ser v ices , which they do themselves, taking care that a client's home is left neat and clean. "We assure our clients that who you see is who you get," Krafton says. "We don't subcontract out our installations. We work in our clients' homes, and when we leave, it's as if we were never there." Customer satisfaction is a high priority for Krafton and his team. "We work hard to make sure that people get what they want. The architects and designers we work with all appreciate our great attention to detail," says Krafton. The owner notes that while his firm has design capabilities, which they often employ for builders, they do not have a designer on BoSton.BuilDerarChiteCt.Com Builder+architect Greater Boston | 21
