“We have recently completed a large and complex kitchen renovation of our 1878 farmhouse here in Chelmsford Mass using Black Barn Custom Carpentry. Let me first say that Mike is not only a highly skilled master carpenter and builder but has the rare quality of someone who is able to make renovation both creative, adaptive and fun. He brings years of experience and a personality that is engaged, excited and committed to your complete satisfaction with the end product. We could not be happier with our new kitchen. Friends and family continually comment on the “magazine and HGTV-like design” he created for us. We give our highest praise to Mike Black and all of the talented team of sub-contractor professionals he works so closely with during the design and construction of our fabulous kitchen”

“I have had the good fortune to find and work with the builder, carpenter, craftsman, Mike Black. As a designer, it is really difficult to find someone to work with as a partner. He is very skilled and knowledgeable in all aspects of construction. Mike has a strong structural background but also has the mastery and attention to detail to create the finest wood creations from moldings, stairs, to cabinetry. That is rare. For me, what really sets Mike apart from his competition is the creativity on top of these skills of the trade and how he is willing to share in the client and/or designer’s vision. He is passionate about his work and holds high standards. When something goes wrong on a project he takes it personally and doesn’t give up until it is resolved. One other thing I really like about Mike is that he always offers more than one solution to a problem or design challenge: a cost-effective choice that is suitable for something you didn’t even envision. He is very careful of the client’s budget and hides nothing in order to profit. Mike’s goal is simply perfection and a happy client.”
