    Barry built a custom island for my kitchen. The final product was stunning and exceeded my expectations. He was easy to work with and his opinions and recommendations help me to make the best choices! I highly urge you to hire him for any project you have.

    Kitchen remodel

    Barry and the Griffin Customs team renovated my kitchen in the summer of 2022. What was once my very small and poorly laid out kitchen is now the center and highlight of my home, where guests and family instinctually gather for every get together and visit. Barry quickly picked up on my personal design preferences and made design and layout suggestions along the way such that the finished kitchen is the perfect marriage of my style, seamless functionality, and preserved historical integrity. The crew was prompt, professional, and friendly with everyone in my home, including my four-legged family member.

    Even after six months in this new kitchen, where I’ve already created so many lifelong memories, I’m still so grateful that I was lucky enough to hire Griffin Customs for this project. During our first consult, I couldn’t stylistically describe what kind of kitchen I wanted. So I told Barry how I wanted it to feel. He immediately got it, smiled, and said “this is going to be fun!” And here we are now, 6 months later, and I’m teaching my friends, nieces, and nephews how to make bread from scratch in what they call my “Practical Magic kitchen.” You can’t put a rating on that.

    Barry and his team remodeled one full bath and one half bath for us. We had already done part of the full bath ourselves. He worked with us to find tile that complemented what we already had and significantly improved the look and functionality of our master bath while staying within our budget. I highly recommend Griffin Customs.

    Tile work

    Griffin Customs did our tile work in our recent basement renovation, the work was excellent, every attention was paid to detail. Barry is an honest contractor, who is very conscientious around providing excellent work. I highly recommend Griffin Customs LLC for any remodel project, large or small.

    bathroom remodel
    $23,000

    Our bathroom remodel was the second project Barry did for us and we couldn't be more pleased. His combination of fine arts and industrial arts backgrounds makes for a killer combination in design and implementation of our project. He is a perfectionist with high-quality workmanship.

    Kitchen
    $70,000

    If i could give more stars I would! Griffin Customs transformed a very dark, not well laid out, problematic kitchen into a space that's light, airy, beautifully functional and timeless in its design. The attention to detail, emphasis on precision and collaborative nature that Barry puts into practice made such a huge difference in the process and outcome. I would highly recommend Griffin Customs to anyone wishing to have a one of a kind kitchen or bath.

    Home remodel, including kitchen and bath

    Barry did an excellent job on our very involved remodeling project. In addition to a complete kitchen and two bathroom remodels, we also required an additional room to be added to our home and a reconfiguration of our living space. Barry had wonderful ideas that made our home not only beautiful, but very functional too. He had the most creative ideas of all the designers we interviewed. He produces a quality product and we enjoyed working with him.

    kitchen remodel and addition
    $100,000

    Barry Griffin was an absolute pleasure to work with. We could not be more pleased with the design and construction of our new space. We started out with an awkward space that was not entirely functional as a working kitchen space. We met with a couple of designers prior but none who had as unique of a vision that would make the most out of the space as Barry did. As an artist, designer, and hands on construction experience Barry was the most well rounded and capable designer I believe we could have hired. Throughout the process any concerns we had were fully addressed to our complete satisfaction. Our concerns were always Barry's top priority. There were obstacles that came up during the process as expected for any major renovation. Each issue that arose that could have potentially been a problem he was able to come up with an ingenious way to turn it into a creative aspect of the space which easily became some of our favorite elements. Barry and his crew were incredibly respectful of our home and family during the entire process. We would highly recommend Griffin Customs over and over. Barry's work exceeded all of our expectations ten fold and we can't wait to work with him again.

    Kitchen and Dining Room Remodel

    Barry did a beautiful job on our kitchen and dining room remodel. My husband and I are very pleased. The kitchen was an awkward layout, long and narrow. Barry reconfigured and updated the kitchen into a cook's paradise. For the dining room he took an awkward closet and made it into a show piece dry bar. During the design phase, Barry worked tirelessly to ensure that the reconfiguration met our expectations and more. He listened to what we wanted and was patient and honest with what we had to work with. During the construction phase, Barry was hands on. He was there every day working along side his team of skilled workers and supervising. Barry and his team were patient and took time to fully explain what they were doing when we had questions. Barry's attention to detail assured the remodel kept the original house feel (for example, moldings were configured to match the rest of the house). The remodel was also completed on time as promised.

    Bathroom Remodel
    Luxurious Bathroom Remodel

    After the kids grew up and moved out, it was finally time to redesign the second floor of our 1980s colonial to fit our current needs. The main project was the expansion of the tiny master bathroom. Griffin Customs worked with us closely to design and install our dream bath. Barry Griffin, owner, interviewed us in detail before the quote and listened carefully to our ideas and requirements for the renovated space. He asked questions that we had not considered and helped us to refine our vision for the project.

    From the beginning Mr. Griffin was spot-on with suggestions for the layout and customized features of the bathroom. He immediately grasped our wishes, put them to paper, and worked closely with us to perfect the design before choosing materials.

    Throughout the project obstacles were met with innovative solutions. We felt confident with his suggestions for materials and placement. From fixtures to cabinetry, tile to stone flooring, his suggestions were perfect for the space. Mr. Griffin's sense of lighting and color is unmatched, and the little details he included created a unique spa environment that surpassed our expectations.

    Our favorite unique details:
    - heated travertine flooring
    - rain glass shower enclosure with stone corner seat
    - craftsman style window frames
    - recessed soaking tub enclosure with a wide granite surround
    - an above eye level rain glass window into the master bedroom and a rain glass pocket door that provide ample natural light to the bathroom and serve as a distinctive design feature in both rooms.

    We love our new bathroom!

    kitchen, bathroom, addition design / renovation

    Barry Griffin, of Griffin Customs, has done several jobs, big and small for us. Not only is he an expert with regard to design, color and build, he is also professional, fair, and conscientious. Where most run-of-the-mill contractors would apply the cheap and easy fix to an issue, Barry actually asks what YOU want and will often provide an interesting custom option to resolve the issue. Our house is filled with Barry's designs and his cool custom ideas.

    Bathroom remodel

    Because my husband wanted to do some of the work on our bathroom remodel himself there were some challenges. Barry was wonderful in helping work through these issues and being patient with us. The bathroom turned out wonderful.
