Hello Michael, You might remember me. I was the person installing the Dimplex Revillusion electric fireplace. I recessed it into the wall 4" like you suggested leaving 8 1/2" sticking out into the room. So the mantel you sent was at the max depth you could build. I can't say enough about the quality of your mantels. Precision made, very sturdy and a beautiful finish. It really feels like a piece of fine furniture. You make a very high quality product at a great value. A very rare combination. 

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Michael,

 

Just wanted to thank you and your team for delivering an excellent product!  

 

I want to begin by saying I have never taken the time to review a product before; however, we have been so pleased with our new mantel, that I had to let everyone know what a superb product Mantel Craft puts out!  I have been extremely impressed not only with our new mantel, but also the entire process as a whole.  From the clear and concise instructions on the website, to submitting our approval drawing, emails keeping us posted on the progress and finally receipt of the mantel itself.  The mantel was packed with care, easy to assemble and very easy to install.  The end result has exceeded our expectations.  THANK YOU!!

 

I have attached a picture of the final installation.

 

Keep up the good work.  It's nice to know there are companies who still take pride in their products!  I would recommend your company to everyone who is in need of a beautiful mantel!

 

Thanks again,

Gary

Thank you again, Michael
I truly appreciate the great service and outstanding quality product for my client in Richmond, Texas
It is everything she was hoping for and the installation of it, and a beautiful marble tile surround, which I also did an inlay for, besides all the prep work to take care of the fireplace surround, turned out great.
They were more than thrilled.

Michael, I just wanted to say that from start to finish Mantelcraft made this purchase hassle-free. The surround is exceptionally well made and sturdy.  The paint option Is a bargain and looks beautiful.  There are no thin areas, scratches, or other issues. Installation was a breeze and really affixes the mantle to the wall well. This is truly a solid surround and gorgeous.

Here is a picture of our completed fireplace project. When the mantle was installed we immediately knew that it was the crowning touch. We appreciate your patience Michael in working with us to ensure that the opening would perfectly fit the chevron tile design we had our hearts set on. Your craftsmen created an impressive mantle that was easy to install. It makes a statement for a reasonable price. In all, it was a pleasure to work with you. We will highly recommend MantleCraft.

Though it’s been a month since completion at the construction site, I thought I’d send along this picture of our Leesburg mantel that reflects my complete satisfaction. Many comfortable evenings in front of this scene - in a cold climate, Maine - tell the tale. You have what I think of as a unique business model, and if not for Google, I’d never have known about what you have to offer. Thanks, and enjoy the photo!

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! Kim N(Leesburg mantel painted semi gloss white.)

I'm attaching before, during, and after pics of the Savannah mantel.

Thought you might be interested to see how upgrading the mantel while changing nothing else, improves the appearance of the fireplace.

Overall, we are very pleased with the result.

Hello Michael, The Strausburg shelf is up and done and I am SOOO PLEASED. This was something my late husband and I had wanted to add for years but never really took the time to shop for.  Just wish he was here to enjoy it too.  My handyman who installed it was impressed with the piece and took down your website information.  He has a poured concrete chimney in his house….said a crane had to lift it in when house was built.  And though he is a professional handyman never got around to doing a mantel for himself.  The variety you offer and the French cleat strip made an impression with him.  And, it took him less time to hang the mantel than it did for him to install a laminate to carpet transition strip in a doorway!  So yes, well satisfied on this end. 

Thank you, Judith W.

Dear MantelCraft,

As you can see from the before and after pictures with the Danbury, the transformation is amazing.  I was happy to say goodbye to our simple molding surround and "Clemson paw print" in the upper left tile.

We are very pleased with the look and quality of your work and will recommend you to anyone looking to upgrade a fireplace. 

Thanks again!

Chris and Bill B

“Michael, I just wanted to confirm I received my Monticello mantel from MantelCraft and it fit just right, was high quality and looks GREAT. Exactly the transformation I was hoping for. I really love the product and the great visual improvement it made to our previously boring, out of proportion fireplace and mantel” –
