His work ethic is amazing, and his rapport with clients is top notch. "

  • "It takes a lot to impress us, but the talent of Dan Palmer is awe inspiring. We have no doubt that Dan’s contribution of all 6 mahogany windows will be functioning perfectly in another 153 years. "

    Carl, Inn at Taughannock Falls

  • "Dan did a fantastic job on my historic window replacement. My house dates to 1832. His work was beautiful, and he was a consummate craftsman, patient and knowledgeable about materials and techniques. I would hire him again in a heartbeat."

    Medina

  • "Dan was awesome to work with on custom doors for our architecture office. He made the final result even better than expected. Dan clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to a wide variety of custom woodworking projects, with a special appreciation for both historically sensitive and high-performance design solutions. We HIGHLY recommend his services."

    Noah, STREAM Collaborative Architecture

  • "The only woodworking company who could create gates like the historic ones we wanted was Palmer Woodcraft. We couldn't be happier with Dan's work. We're doing a second project with Palmer Woodcraft this spring."

    Erin
