I’m a realtor in Charleston that had to try and make a Track home look custom post closing. I had my doubts it could be done but Steven is incredibly gifted. He cut and painted and added and deleted cabinets to match perfectly with what was already in the home. My buyer and myself were over the top impressed with his work. Best cabinet guy ever.
