Testimonials

  • We had the opportunity to work closely with Joinery Structures on a full house remodel and addition in Berkeley. Trenton Fister led the Joinery Structures contracting side, and Conor Ward was the site superintendent; they were a dream team. When remodeling an old house odd complexities arise every day, especially where the old and the new meet. Their team proactively suggested solutions and then heard our clients' and our input before expertly addressing the situation with care and craftsmanship. I am looking forward to our next project together.

  • We worked with Joinery Structures as the general contractor for a complete remodel and renovation of our home in Oakland. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and work to an incredibly high quality standard in everything they do. Our project was extremely complex (adding a story and remodeling both existing floors), and they made each part of it absolutely seamless. The finished work is stunning, and they finished the work early, even after we were forced to delay the project start for several weeks due to weather. We couldn't be happier with their work. The entire JS team were truly partners to us during the work, immediately communicating any changes that were required, advising us in situations where we needed their expertise, and acting as our advocates throughout. If you are looking for a GC, Joinery Structures is truly the best of the best.

  • We loved working with Joinery Structures on this project! They provided design assist services during Construction Documentation which built a high level of trust and made for an easy transition to construction. They were great collaborators and whenever questions arose they presented clear options and were eager to workshop ideas together. The team's commitment to craft showed throughout the project and they took great care with every detail. We look forward to our next project together!

    — Ashton Hamm of UXO Architects

  • We had an outstanding experience working with Joinery on a full floor remodel which included everything from foundation work and drywall to bathroom finishes and custom joinery woodwork. All of the work was exceptional, with the custom woodwork being absolutely stunning. An entryway bench they designed with the architect and built regularly leaves visitors in awe of both the floating design and the unique joinery woodwork. Joinery has also been a great partner in maintaining their work. More than a year after they completed the project they were very responsive tuning a custom pivot door and helping us get in touch with a window manufacturer. Across the board they are great people, thoughtful designers, and absolute experts in construction and woodwork. A joy to work with and highly recommended.

  • We worked with Joinery on a complete renovation of our home in Oakland. It was an amazing experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend them for any project big or small. The entire crew at Joinery is great including Greg, Trenton, Mitch, Alex, David and everyone else on their team. Couldn't have asked for a better partner on this project. Our project was very extensive, and involved completely redoing large portions of the house including floors, windows, walls, roof, kitchen, master suite, and multiple bedrooms. Joinery handled everything from design to fabrication to installation. Everything was custom designed from scratch by Joinery. They went through multiple iterations with us to create something truly unique that we love. Highly recommend this crew and we look forward to continuing to work with them in future projects

  • I own a house that’s nearly 100 years old. Finding lumber to make appropriate repairs has always been difficult at best, until I found Joinery Structures... These guys are the real deal. They seem to love what they do, and they do it beautifully, on budget, and on time. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
