Don and his team at Marengo Millwork did an amazing job on our cabinet installation. We could not be happier how it turned out. Don is seriously a true craftsman. Very punctual, informative and helpful with any questions we had. Marengo Millwork is the place to call for your cabinet needs. You will not be disappointed.

If you are in need of anything constructed from wood, do not hesitate to call Don! I was looking for a custom-made dresser and found Don/Marengo Millwork. I couldn't be happier with the beautiful, amazing dresser Don made for us! The exquisite craftsmanship, skill and passion that Don has for his love of wood working, is very evident in his end product! The dresser is so beautiful and I am so very pleased to see it every single day! If I ever need any kind of wood item(s) made, I will be contacting Don again, in a heartbeat!! Thank you SO much Don, I am truly grateful to have a custom-made piece by you! And thank you to Shawn also!! When you do what you love, it really shines in your work! Thanks again and take care! Amy

Don, owner of Marengo Millwork, has now completed 5 projects for us, and will be working on a sixth soon. Not only is all the work he does of the highest quality, it is done with precision, care, and vision. Our association with Don began with a kitchen remodel that turned out even better than we hoped, a bathroom remodel, which is beautiful, and porch projects, which have made us quite happy:o) Don is an honest, hard-working guy who always seems to provide us with better than we had hoped for. We could not more highly recommend Marengo Millwork.

Marengo Millwork did a great job in refurbishing our kitchen, dining room and living room. They transformed a worn out space into a place that is both beautiful and functional. We are very happy with the finished product. Don walked us through each of the steps, from design through final inspection. He listened to our suggestions and was attentive to our needs. Don brought his extensive knowledge, experience and skill to this project. The results are better than we could have imagined. Don and his group of contractors were very professional. It is obvious that they take pride in their work. Their skills are especially apparent in the attention to detail. At the end of each day the job site was organized and clean. Any issues or delays are communicated promptly, along with the possible solutions.

Don was quick to respond and helpful when deciding size and style of our fireplace surround. He delivered the finish product a few days early and kept us posted on his progress through the whole project. It looks great and we are thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks for the great work!

We worked with Don for a new fireplace build. Don was very professional, very timely and he did incredible work! The idea we were going was based off a picture and Don executed perfectly. We love the way our fireplace turned out. It's beautiful. We highly recommend Don. We look forward to working with him for future projects!
