Animas Craft Woodworks - Durango, Colorado

Kris Skaff

From the first phone inquiry until our kitchen island top was delivered, we were more than pleased with Animas Craft Woodworks. Noah and his team were a pleasure to work with. They were timely in completion of the project and the quality of the finished work. When they quoted a price, that is the number they stuck with. We could sense the crew's pride and enthusiasm when they delivered the island. We will definitely use Animas Craft Woodworks again!

This is repeat business for Noah because of our great experience the first time below. We wanted to upgrade our dining table to a Live Edge table and always want to support local businesses. It was an easy decision once we talked to Noah. He had walnut slabs to show us and provided options on how to finish them, with pictures of other work he had done. He also walked us through his shop, which was very impressive and informative. The slab was cut to our exact specs, completed to counter height vs normal height, and beautifully finished. Noah completed the table earlier than first promised, delivered and set it up using the utmost care. What an awesome statement this table makes!! We will definitely use Animas Craft Woodworks again!

I installed an electric fireplace in our home but stopped short of the walnut wood frame because of the difficult precision work needed to make it look perfect. We met Noah at the Durango Marketplace and it was obvious he was very talented with wood. The fireplace is now complete and it looks awesome. Noah was excellent to work with, very prompt with communications, and on time for the installation. Nothing but good things to say about Noah and his knowledge and skills with wood working. Would highly recommend!!

Noah is a joy to work with and truly talented at his craft. I subcontracted with Noah to work on an office space in downtown Durango, and he created the most beautiful and functional pieces. He really listened and valued the vision of the space. I would definitely work with him again in the future!

Noah built my dream bookshelf in my greatroom with a library ladder that rolls across the tract. He matched my hickory kitchen cabinets right across the hallway to tie the room all together. He is a delight to work with, listening to all my ideas and adding his own suggestions, a talented designer and explained everything in detail. The install was one of the nicest days I’ve had with an installation of anything in my house. And he is one of the neatest workmen, leaving the house without a speck of dust or piece of furniture out of place. I also have two cutting boards custom made from samples at the Durango Farmer’s Market last summer. Thank you Noah for a job beautifully done.

High quality and gorgeous craftsmanship. Noah custom built a beverage center for me in my bed and breakfast that is opening in early 2024, can’t wait for my guests to use it!

The design is functional, timeless and stunning. His design ideas and attention to detail amazed me!

Next is cabinetry in the kitchen for a built in microwave and storage. Can’t wait to see Noah’s design ideas and how that turns out!

Noah is an artist. He is able to take a piece of wood and turn it into something with life and movement. I had the pleasure of photographing some of his work for commercial purposes. His textures and lines as well as attention to detail made my job easy. His work speaks for itself and Noah is the best to work with. Anyone would be very lucky to have his work in his home or work with him one on one for custom pieces in their home.

Animas Craft Woodworking took a very sentimental wood round and cut it down carefully and beautifully. The tree had died and the sap ran to base making the wood heavy, hard, sticky, and time consuming. Noah understood the importance of our stump and treated me with the upmost kindness and respect during our imagining and planning sessions. I also think the steal legs are perfect match for what I envisioned. This piece will always be with me, and I hope my children in the future.

Wow, what a pleasant experience it was doing business with Noah.
I had a challenging time crunch and was managing the project from out of state.
He came through on all of his commitments, on time and on budget.
I will certainly use his firm again and I recommend them without hesitation.
