Long Pond Woodworks

It was great working with Chaz. He got the job done and was clean and on time. I needed to get a large cabinet cut to fit after a larger water heater was installed. To make additional storage space he built a shelving unit over the water heater. I would definitely hire him again.

We hired Long Pond Woodworks to complete a project at a $40 Million apartment in New York City. Not only did the job require the highest level of craftsmanship, but it also required an extremely careful manner of working within the area. Long Pond installed an elliptical scaffold system in a solid marble staircase throughout 3 days of very careful moves. The project required visiting the site and creating the pieces off-site to come back and install in the space. The scaffolding system had to be completely freestanding and not support itself on the marble staircase which it was surrounding. We knew when we contracted with our client that they would demand an extremely high level of service. Long Pond Woodworks was the company at the top of our list based on our past experience with them. Their results made us look like real heroes!! This is only one example of the kind of work we entrust to them, and will continue to do so in the future. If you're looking for the best, look no further.

Chaz is very easy to work with and pays attention to detail. He does excellent work. The cabinets that he built was exact to specification and beautiful. The work was finished on time as promised. Would definitely use him again for future work and highly recommend his service.

I hired Chaz to build me a jewelry box, because I had seen his work and thought he could make something creative to match my style. I gave him a few ideas and he came up with the design for this box, with a bow tie shape in the center of the box and almost a checkered pattern cut into the wood. It has removable shelves inside and a music box. I absolutely love it. I didn't think I wanted it stained because I love the look of the raw wood, but I do think I'll send it back to him or stain it myself, as already a wet towel was set on top of it and appears to have discolored it a little. Oops! Thanks for being so great to work with Chaz, I'll definitely be coming back to you with future projects.

Sometime ago I contracted Chaz Corallo of Long Pond Woodworks to build a boat dock for me. I knew he was a master woodworker doing intricate and creative work and didn't expect him to take the job since it wasn't a big one. I was surprised. He not only built a beautiful dock, he was quick and on budget and easy to get along with. My wife and I would definitely hire him in the future to design and build a kitchen or any aspect of our home. The Troys

Chazz always arrived when he said he would. If there was a problem he would call. Work completed on time and on budget. Have recommended him to others. Would certainly use him again. Everyone has admired the good job he did of building my cabinets.

Ordered 2 sets of doors for a cabinet including installation. They were to match existing doors. When installed the doors had a huge gap between the doors. I was told the gap would close when the wood swelled in the summer. That was unacceptable so a filler piece was added to both side of each door to close the gap. The doors were mounted and did not line up properly. Since I was taking the doors down to paint I was told to call when done and the doors would be installed again. When finishing the doors I found circular saw blade cuts in the edge of the doors. I sanded them out. The doors were not back cut on the hinge side so they bound when closing. I back cut the doors. Knots in the finished side of the doors. Since they were being painted I covered as best I could. Could not hide the filler edges added completely. The doors differed in size by 1/8 inch. When ready I called to have mounted and never received a call back. There were many holes drilled in ill fated attempts to mount properly, So I filled these holes and drilled new ones to mount the doors myself.

I highly recommend Surf and turf woodworking. Chaz Corallo did a fine job of replicating an existing built in cabinet for our large screen TV and an accompanying cabinet for the components. He is reliable, conscientious and professional. His woodworking abilities are detailed and intricate. We have already recommended him to our neighbors, and have another woodworking job pending.

I hired Surf and Turf for some interior molding work on a house that I was contracted to build. It was kind of a tricky job; there were curved moldings above an arched top door that he had to fabricate, there were large intricate plaster crown mouldings as well as regular wood casing around windows and doors. All of these came out excellently. Fantastic job at a reasonable price.

I have had many time seen the quality of his work in his workshop, although I have never hired him, I can tell you from being a professional worker myself his attention to detail and his commitment to the trade has exceeded all of my expectations. I would recommend his boatbuilding and general woodworking skills.

Fast, efficient service and the job was done to perfection. And the cost was significantly less than the prices all the other contractors gave me.

When it comes to wood, land or sea this guy knows his stuff. Chas built me some beautiful cabinets for my office, during the installation he noticed my cabin cruiser that I have been neglecting. We went out took a look and he gave me a fair estimate on some rot that I did not know how to fix (I thought the boat was a goner). I hired him and now I am motivated to repair the rest and get it back on the water. Thanks! By the way his furniture is interesting anyone looking should ask for some pics.
