Michael Rogo. just finished our new built -in cabinet and bookcases and we are over the top thrilled. They look better than we could have imagined. Our entire experience from setting up the estimate to scheduling the installment went very smoothly. He communication was timely with calls and emails. Most importantly he is a skilled craftsman and took great care on all the details. Every step of the way he explained what he was doing. He informed us about the type of high quality wood he uses , styles of moldings and choices of lighting and handles. He offered his expert design opinions and gave us options. Michael is the consummate professional. If you are considering bookcases or cabinets in your home, I recommend him very highly for any project. Bonnie and Paul Physicians living in Society Hill ,Philadelphia First, let me tell you a bit about me so you can understand the perspective of the person writing this testimonial. There are several reasons why I could be considered a carpenter’s worst nightmare. By profession I am a Chief Financial Officer, so I am careful with money and have an eye for value. I am also a woodworker, making furniture and gallery-quality woodturnings, so I appreciate quality construction as well as design and creativity. Finally, I insist on doing all work on my home - from routine maintenance to heavy construction to finished carpentry - because I believe no one will use the care and quality on my home that I would. Now for the scenario. Three years ago, with the best intentions, I gutted our dining room to convert it to a library. I sealed off a doorway, created another doorway, did electrical work, painted, and installed a beautiful rustic walnut floor. Two years later, with the “library” in that same state, my wife told me she was watching her dream of having a library slowly die. Years had passed and I had no time to get around to building the cabinetry – without which you just have an empty room. I had to finally admit to myself (and my wife!) that, although I had the tools, ability and desire, I just didn’t have the time to undertake such a big job. This is when I had the good fortune to find Mike Rogo (a.k.a. Mike the Carpenter). First, you can’t help but like Mike right from the start. He’s a friendly, down to earth guy, as well as being extremely smart and determined to have his customers delighted by his work. My two young sons would always ask when Mike was coming over because they loved talking to him and seeing what he was going to build. Next you’ll be impressed with his design ideas…he’s been doing this for a long time and knows what will look good and work for your needs, even when you don’t. Many times Mike either had his own great design ideas, or improvements on mine. Once he starts building, you’ll love Mike’s meticulous attention to detail. He cares about every component, every joint, every seam. The fit and finish of his work is a testament to his incredible craftsmanship. In fact, I would often be looking over his shoulder to learn some of his tricks and techniques. Finally, you need to prepare for the many ooooohh’s and aaaahh’s that you’ll hear when guests see the custom addition to your home. I’m not over my aversion to have someone else work on my home, but Mike is no longer “someone else”, and I am already planning the next project. Ron Pirollo, Chief Financial Officer. Langhorne, Pennsylvania I feel compelled to write Mike Rogo a testimonial after the absolutely beautiful new kitchen cabinet doors he designed and installed in my Philadelphia, Queen Village home. I wanted to write this testimonial for Michael because I want to let people know that there are still high quality professionals around such as Michael. He is on time every morning and does not stop until every part of the project he proposed in the beginning is completed thoroughly. He is truly a cabinet maker above other cabinet makers. I am one of the lucky ones since I met Mike over 20 years ago when he was working for a next door neighbor. During those years he has performed countless projects in my home and has always outperformed what he proposed. When Michael comes to work in my home it’s like two friends coming together, having coffee and chitchatting about the project at hand. When I go to work and leave him in my home to work, I only concentrate on my duties that I have to perform that day, knowing that when I come home, Michael’s project will be finished beautifully and that he has tidied up after himself. So when I tell you that this guy is a true professional, courteous and respectful of your home and property, you will not make a mistake by hiring him. Oh, and by the way he has a great sense of humor and is quite fun to have around! Susan M. Proulx, PharmD My wife wanted a glass cabinet for our kitchen in order to hold our wine glasses, bowls and other glassware. Michael Rogozinski, who had done other projects for us, was our first choice. He worked with my wife to design the cabinet, recommend dimensions, choice of wood and glass. Mike is extremely easy to work with on such projects due to his incredible amount of experience and knowledge making such a project a pleasure to do. Once the design and materials were selected, Mike built the cabinet in his shop and returned to our home to install it exactly on the date he promised it would be ready. Installation went smoothly, no mess and the cabinet is always something our guests comment about while spending time in our kitchen. We could not have more pleased with the final project, price and scheduling all because Mike was able to make the project so easy to get done. In fact, we decided upon several projects for Mike to do later that summer due to the wonderful experience we had working with him. Barry F. Penn, Esquire and Susan R. Penn, Assistant to Provost, Haverford College Wynnewood PA 19096 This is my testimonial for Michael Rogozinski beautifully built Oak kitchen cabinet doors and radiator covers. My wife and I decided and since we were remodeling our home we would like to replace our old kitchen cabinetry doors and metal radiator covers. When Mr. Rogozinski arrived at our home for his initial estimate, he suggested wood veneer core plywood after listening to our concerns. We really didn’t know what that was until he further explained to us how it would last for many, many years without cracking or damaging in the slightest and giving us years of natural wood beauty. He told us the designed engineering of switch crossing laminate layers making up the plywood sheets and finished with any high grade species of wood we desired. He said the furniture quality product is completely different from plywood and is known in the cabinet making industry as veneer core. Further he explained to us if we wanted raised panel kitchen doors than solid lumber would be chosen. But since the design of the doors and covers would be flat, veneer core with the visible front and back surfaces being of the species of wood we desired would be perfect. We chose a beautiful red Oak for our kitchen cabinet doors and radiator covers resulting in the desirable finish Mr. Rogozinski explained. After seeing the products installed and completed my wife and I are completely happy with the product Mr. Rogozinski suggested and built for us. Peter D’Agostino, Retired City of Philadelphia

It is my pleasure to offer a testimonial for Michael Rogozinski. Mike just completed our bookcase project in our Philadelphia condo, and I have to say that our patience is well rewarded for this master piece for which I am certain will be admired and enjoyed for generations. The bookcase is measured 12 x 9 feet which covers one entire wall of our study. For such as a project, we were initially concerned of its massive measure and potential visual dominance. Mike was instrumental in sharing his knowledge and experience, and helped us in choosing cherry wood with light red sandstone finish. In addition, his suggestions on the trims and cabinet doors were critical in creating a coherent piece with solid posture, yet light and balance in finish. We are also very much admired Mike’s workmanship. To start with, we are impressed with his pride in his work and his perfectionist attitude for every detail. He picked the best lumber for our project, and best hardware for drawer slider and door hinges. Also to our surprise, he construct two inch thick cabinet surface board with the best pieces of wood, so that he could showcase the beauty of cherry wood with those mesmerizing patterns. We know that Mike has a hobby to video tape his work, and I hope that you can benefit from the camera of his artistic accomplishment. However, it would never match the experience to have a piece of Mike’s work in your residence for which you can touch, enjoy and admire everyday for your life.
