Testimonials
"I worked with Allen Sutter on a multi-home, log home project at Eagle Ranch, where he was retained to manufacture and install the cabinets and manufacture the interior doors and trim. This was a challenging project that required Allen to create a product that met the demands of a very exacting architectural and interior design team and also met the budget and timeline parameters of the owner.
Allen was patient throughout the process, (which included many design meetings and specification changes) and his knowledge really helped us to make sound decisions that helped our budget, but did not compromise the quality and beauty of the final product.
He creates cabinets in his local shop and as a customer, I always felt welcome to drop in and check on the progress. Allen's workmanship is unparalleled; he is a true craftsman and he is meticulous in all details. (This includes plan creation through to the final installation.)
The cabinets and interior doors in these homes are truly a work of art and if I was building my own home, I would most assuredly choose Allen to design and manufacture my cabinets."

" In late 2006 my wife and I decided to do a total renovation to our house that was built in 1995. This included tearing out all existing kitchen cupboards and bathroom vanities. We had heard of Sutter Fine Woodwork from neighbours who had hired Allen and had been extremely pleased with his work. We were fortunate to be able to hire Allen to to design and build our kitchen cupboards and bathroom vanities as part of our renovation. His work is incredible. We were so pleased, we had him build a sleigh bed, numerous end tables, a display case, bathroom vanity stool, bedroom dressers and a stereo/ TV unit. Anyone looking for an exceptional craftsman who does incredible work should look no farther than Sutter Fine Woodwork. They won't be disappointed and they'll have the pleasure of looking at beautifully crafted woodwork everyday. Did I mention that Allen is a great person to have in your home as well."

We have found Allen easy to work with. During the planning stages of our projects, we found him most patient as he took his time to answer all the questions we had. As well, Allen provided advice when needed. His fine eye for detail enables him to offer ideas that only help improve a client's vision of the project.
The fit and finish on Allen's work is second to none. Allen is a true craftsman/ wood artisan - meticulous would be an understatement. The words "that's good enough" are not in his vocabulary. This shows as well in a tidy work site, which was very important to us as we were living in our home during the renovations.

Whatever your needs are, Allen of Sutter Fine Woodwork will create for you something that is functional, pleasing to the eye and adds warmth to the home. You only have to work with Allen once to know that you could leave him your keys, take a vacation and, upon return, find everything the way you envisioned."
