Hurst Concepts

We hired Jonathan after seeing one of his projects at Ballard Coffee Works. He just happened to be sitting next to us as we were admiring his railing that was installed as part of the outdoor seating! We were excited to see what he could do for us at our home. We were desperate to give the front porch a new look and that included a new railing. We were uncertain what we wanted but we had some general ideas, materials, budget etc. Jonathan worked with us closely to come up with a design for the front porch railing. He invited us down to a metal works shop, which allowed us to look at their portfolio of work and to ask questions. His expertise was to fashion the top of the handrail in wood, and he served as the project coordinator between the metalworker and glass blower. At the same time we were having our steps resurfaced with stone, so he needed to coordinate the installation of the railing with another contractor. The final project came in right on his estimated project budget. We did have a bit of a problem with the powder coating of the metal part of the rail, but Jonathan followed up on it, to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Jonathan as a skilled craftsman. He is very easy to work with, he listens to his clients carefully and he follows through and we appreciate the quality of his work. I would not hesitate to work with him again.

Jon Hurst is very creative and his craftsmanship is the best. He has completed several custom projects for me and he always has made me happy. It's a true creative collaboration and he has always improved my original design.

We wired Jonathan to design, create, and install a new window seat for us. He did a fabulous job listening to what we needed and ensuring that the design fit our space aesthetically. He did a great job creating the final project balancing form and function. Highly recommended!

Great designer and wood working professional! I would highly recommend him! Engineering training plus a great design sense work together to produce wonderful pieces. He designed and made a table and bench for my son, a coffee table and end table for us, and a shelf, all from madrona with live edges. All turned out fabulous!
