Ken Marini Woodworking LLC

Ken quickly delivered beautiful, custom cabinets for our kitchen renovation. He was easy to work with and responsive throughout the process.

We asked Ken to design and build built-in bookshelves and storage for the entry hall of our house. We wanted something a bit quirky, but that would still fit in our early-20th-century house. Ken came up with a great design (he even made a small model to show us what he had in mind!), then built and installed it. It's perfect for the space and we are very happy with the work. Ken was great to work with--collaborative in the design process and easy to communicate with.

Ken designed, crafted and built some incredibly beautiful mahogany bookshelves that go across two walls of our dining room, including a window seat. They have transformed our house. Now we have the library-dining room we’ve always wanted. He’s fantastic. Highest recommendation.

Ken Marini Woodworking provided high quality custom millwork and finishing for our project in the Main Line suburbs. Ken is very knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with, coordinating with our office and the contractor and maintaining our schedule. KMW surveys the existing space, if required, and provides very helpful and practical input into the design. I reviewed the millwork at the shop during fabrication and was impressed with the adherence to the drawings and specification, the quality of materials and attention to detail. KMW's installation went smoothly and on schedule, the work looked fantastic and most importantly, the client is happy!

Ken is a highly skilled carpenter/craftsman. He is innovative in solving unique installation and design problems. He responds quickly to requests, offers ideas and is open to feedback throughout the course of a project. I have worked with a number of exceptional carpenters and furniture makers, and his work matches that of others who have completed unique projects which require flexibility, patience and innovative design and fabrication skills. In summary Ken is exceptional, and we will continue to work with him in the future.

Ken Marini Woodworking LLC has worked in collaboration w/my office on over 20 projects in the past 15 years, producing highly successful results in a variety of challenging conditions. The work has included cabinetry for commercial and residential Kitchens and serving areas, Bathroom Cabinets, and various pieces of furniture including dining, coffee, and end tables, credenzas, bookcases, and stair accessories. Beyond meeting our exacting standards and dimensional tolerances, I would say KMW's creative problem-solving ability and artful craftsmanship is what has made the working relationship so satisfying, and the results so fine.

Ken has crafted a number of pieces for our house over the years - a large, four door clothes cabinet, three sink bases for various bathrooms, a wall unit/cabinet to hide our television (which integrated a pair of antique, stained glass doors), and most recently, a beautiful dining room server/sideboard and an end table for the living room. His craftsmanship is phenomenal, finish quality is amazing and prices are very reasonable considering the quality and one-off nature of the work. One of the things I appreciate most is that Ken while Ken can follow someone else's design, if you really just have a concept he can interpret and execute it, taking on the creative aspects of the project.

I have used Ken on multiple projects and he is excellent. I regularly recommend him to customers and friends. Marc DuVive LLC
