I can’t say enough how happy I am with my new cabinets/shelves from Built In Charleston. Brenden does quality work, is easy to work with, super friendly and definitely knows what he’s doing. He designed and delivered the solid wood built-ins I’d been dreaming of. I highly recommend using Built In Charleston.

Absolutely first-rate work. Brenden and team are straightforward and pleasant, they honor their commitments, and they do very high quality work fairly priced and swiftly executed. Will work with them again, I hope.

Brenden is wonderful to work with, very transparent, and helpful throughout the entire process. He did such an amazing job on our built-in shelving and cabinetry for our home library. The design, skill, and execution of his work is unparalleled. If you are in the greater Charleston area and need quality craftsmanship in your home look no further.

Brenden from Built in Charleston did an outstanding job with our custom built-in bookshelves and library ladder. He is incredibly professional, a pleasure to work with, and his attention to detail is truly amazing. Throughout the project, his communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way. We are extremely satisfied with the results and highly recommend Brenden. In fact, we've already recommended him to friends and family!

Brendon is both a skilled craftsman and a genuine pleasure to do business with. From the outset he understood what we ineptly described we wanted providing photos of similar projects he both designed and constructed. Additionally, he made several suggestions for enhancements which dramatically enhanced the look of the wall units he made and the room they adorned. He kept us posted throughout the time he prepared in his workshop and installed his work in one day. We are delighted with what he created and felt Brendon was a great guy, honest and trustworthy. We'd recommend him very strongly.

Brendan did a fantastic job adding built-ins to flank our fireplace. They look wonderful and look as if they were always there! I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.

Working with Brenden was a pleasure and worth the wait! His craftsmanship is beautiful and high quality. He worked with our design ideas, but also stood his ground on a few things, and together we created a beautiful built-in piece for our home. Couldn’t be happier!

Brenden did an amazing job designing, fabricating and installing cabinets and a console in our dining room. He delivered exactly what we hoped for, was extremely responsive, professional, and great to work with. He also dealt with a few snafus from the glass fabricator with grace and kept us updated on any delays related to the issue. Five stars for Built in Charleston.

I could not be happier with the results and the experience of getting custom bookshelves from Brenden at Built In Charleston! I started with nothing but a picture in my head and a blank corner of wallspace and Brenden walked me through a look, size and materials I could afford and then built it. Skilled and professional and creative and responsive - finding a Brenden is very tough to do these days.

From our first meeting, Brenden at Built-In Charleston, impressed us with his passion for woodworking. He provided us with a design for a built-in bookcase that would not only be beautiful and functional but will add value to our home. After answering all of our questions he continued to communicate status updates throughout the project and delivered on every promise made. Brenden & Gavin were precise in their installation, and incredibly detail oriented. It’s all anyone could wish when working with a master cabinet maker. Would highly recommend.

I couldn't be more pleased with my bookcases! Brenden did a wonderful job — the craftsmanship is top notch, the finish is a rich walnut, the shelves are heavy and substantial. The communication throughout the project was helpful and timely and the bookcases were delivered on time. The wallpaper I chose as a backing to the shelving was expertly applied and looks fantastic. Installation was a smooth process with as little fuss and bother as possible. Thanks, Brenden & Co. for transforming my room into a lovely library!

Brenden did an outstanding job designing and installing a built-in bookshelf solution for our home. His customer service is top-notch because upon the final installation, I did not like a certain piece of wood. Brenden simply said, no worries, I'll come over and fix it. Although he had several jobs ahead of me, it was well worth the wait!

Brenden was so wonderful to work with, and the quality of his workmanship was outstanding. We received quotes from a few different vendors for our built-ins project, but the quality of his materials and past was well above the rest. The final product was absolutely stunning!

Brenden (and Max) did a wonderful job on our floating built-in bookshelves for our living room and built-in desks/cabinets for our office. He is very professional and fun to work with. I would recommend his work to anyone and would also use him again!

Goodbye depressing ugly bifold door closets! Brenden designed and installed a beautiful built in wardrobe that runs the width of our bedroom taking up the exact foot print of our original 2 closets. Where we had 2 overfull closets we now have more storage than we actually need. Everything is organized and truly accessible- no more unreachable top shelf, no more doors coming off their tracks. Nice touches include soft close full extension external drawers, bump open internal drawers and sliding shoe trays. Looking forward to future projects.

Brenden did an amazing job building and installing a built-in desk and hutch for us. We love the creative input he gave us which included a concrete desktop and reclaimed wood background. We could not be happier with the quality of his work! And he was so pleasant to work with!

Built In Charleston built us custom bookcases in our family room. They were so great to work with. I would happily recommend this company to anyone looking for custom, quality craftsman. Thank you Brendan!

Beautiful entertainment center designed by Built in Charleston! They were recommended by my neighborhood app and I put out several quotes... no other carpenter came close to matching the style and design I had in mind. Brenden's photos from his portfolio were enough to sell me and he delivered! We badly needed some custom storage solutions for our living room for our growing family and it has been the best money I've spent on my home in a long time!! We've done DIY built ins before and they look terrible, and are unstable. Everyone who comes over asks who did the work and I cannot give Built in Charleston enough kudos!! Also super easy to work with them. There's nothing worse than waiting for your contractor to call you back and everything was so seamless on this project!
