re: Weathered Cedar Paneling

Michael, I purchased 4 sheets of weathered cedar rustic paneling and installed the paneling on one of our rec room walls. Then I added an old tin roof and old screen door. The theme is an old tackle shop; we still have some collecting and decorating to do.

The paneling is very realistic looking and easier and quicker to install than real rustic cedar. The paneling arrived well protected and undamaged.  Thanks for the quick shipping.

Thank you for your help with the fireplace mantel.  I would have sent photos awhile ago, except we only recently finished painting!

Mr Richards,

Michael, a very long time ago, you were kind enough to knock off a little bit of the price on a mantel if I sent you before and after pics of my fireplace.  Are you still there?  (YES!)  It was quite the transformation. Thank you for your help with our new mantel.  Best wishes!

Best Wishes,

re: Leesburg Mantel 

Mr Richards,

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased my family and I are with your mantle.   The attention to detail and the care taken in the packing and shipping was amazing.  The workmanship is wonderful.  I am sure glad I had you stain it!

We now have a place to hang our stockings and what a great Christmas we are looking forward to.  

Sincerest Thanks,

Dear Scott,

Just wanted to "Thank You" again for all your knowledge and help with the oak paneling.  I greatly appreciate your patience with all my questions.  My husband and I are very pleased with the look and quality of the paneling.  I'm so glad I continued my search and found you and your company.  With the way you helped me, I can see you are a great asset to your company.  I just sent a couple of pictures (shown above) so you can see how great the paneling looks.

Thank you, again!

Hello Michael and Jim.  I thought you would enjoy seeing these before and after photos of my daughter's fireplace.  We plan to cover the bricks above the mantel to finish this remodel.  We are very pleased and want to thank you for your attention to detail as you helped design the granite facing, custom hearth-wrap and the mantel itself.  It was all coordinated and went together so well! 

Thanks, again, for all the help figuring all of this out for us.

MantelCraft Concord Fireplace Mantel painted white.  Images submitted November, 2011.

Hi Mike,  Here are my before and after pics.  I was very pleased with the ease of ordering, and the fact that you double-checked with me until everything was right.  The mantel shipped promptly, was packaged well, and was received without issues.  The mantel was excellently made - very high quality (I admit, I was skeptical).  And, best of all, it was so easy to assemble!

Thanks for going the extra mile when I needed some extra trim (due to my uneven hearth).  I would highly recommend your mantels and service!

Concord Fireplace Mantel, Paint Grade/unfinished purchased July 2010.
"Thank you for your quick service and gorgeous product. Thank you for your quick service and gorgeous product. The whole experience ended up exceeding my expectations. When I opened the box I was amazed at the quality of the construction. It was a perfect fit. I'm glad we spoke on the phone before I ordered: it was helpful to have you walk me through the measurements. People that saw the mantel after it was painted and mounted thought it was gorgeous. I've sold the house so I can't go snap a picture. The buyers loved what we did to the room and part of that was your mantel."

The Monarch mantel shelf in Paint Grade, painted black, with our corbels, from December, 2010.
"Ordering something of this nature, on-line, was taking quite a risk for me. As I perused several mantel surrounds as well as mantel shelves web-sites, I found MantelCraft to have the best prices for identical items. As such, I took the chance and ordered a 7-ft. mantel shelf, one that I really liked. I am extremely pleased with the service I received, by phone and email, Beverly is delightful. The packaging of the shelf was phenomenal and it was received in a timely manner. My handyman installed the mantel shelf and, he too, was impressed with it's quality and beauty. I think it ads so much warmth and a 'finishing touch' to the room; it's the first thing people notice as they enter my home.

Thank you for a wonderful on-line shopping experience."
