CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
“Above all, they never cut corners and always checked in on whether we were happy with the result. Often they had wonderful suggestions to make the final build just a little bit better and did it all within budget and on time.
If you want reliable, honest, true crafts people, consider Oak and Iron."
Aron and his team are professional and efficient. We really appreciated how he listened to our needs and presented costs in a fair and upfront manner. The finish work and attention to detail were top-notch! Thanks so much :)
"We honestly feel like they saved our house. Thank you, Aron!!! We’ll miss having him and his team around. We feel lucky to have found him and highly recommend him for any project, hands down."
I highly recommend Aron for your home projects. The first job he did for us was to rebuild our covered area on our deck that turned out amazing. He had great suggestions along the way and was very responsive and on schedule. I really challenged him with my next request. I had searched furniture stores for a piece where I had limited space with no luck. I gave Aron a rough drawing with dimensions and he created a buffet that I absolutely love. I have faith he can do
anything he puts his mind to. He is very creative and I think you will enjoy working with Aron.
“He was detailed, creative, courteous and excellent at problem solving. He seems to really take pride in his work. In short Aron did a terrific job on our cabin and I would highly recommend him!”
Aron took over building our cabin in the Methow Valley at my request as the first contractor was overloaded and getting work done on our cabin was a lesser priority. Aron moved with his family to the area for the summer and was quick to line up local subs and worked tirelessly to keep the project moving along.He was detailed, creative, courteous and excellent at problem solving.He and his partner John worked many long hours to complete the project in six months.He seems to really take pride in his work. In short Aron did a terrific job on our cabin and I would highly recommend him !
