Straw and Co. Fine Woodwork - Gainesville, Florida

John Havlik

I “found” Straw Fine Woodwork in 2019 while searching to have custom kitchen cabinets made in a total renovation of a mid-century ranch house. The cabinets were built and installed to the highest standards (my career field is construction trades workforce development). That experience led us to have the hall bathroom cabinets made by Straw and most recently, these beautiful (Pennsylvania) Walnut barn doors (see photos).

I have visited the Straw shop on several occasions and am totally impressed by the quality of woodworking equipment, the cleanliness, and organization of the shop. But even more impressive, is how joyful all the staff are - they appear to really love their work and dedication to the craft.

If you want unique and quality workmanship, with highest quality materials, by people who “get wood” - at a fair price…contact Straw for a visit!!?

Jason Straw and the entire team at Straw and Co. helped build the kitchen of my dreams. From start to finish, Jason and his team were professional and knowledgable, helping to map out a plan that they executed flawlessly. It was a joy to get to know them and to work with them, because they were exact and expected nothing less than perfection from their own work. They did so amazing on the kitchen that I even expanded their woodwork into the living room (pictured), where they helped transform the facade of an old wall with the most fantastic floating shelves. Their designs were modern and innovative, creating an island space with very complex (and practically unheard of before this) interlocking drawers that open on both sides while keeping the drawer "face" showing. The amount of time it took them just to implement this system, and to do it to where it works perfectly every time, still amazes me. I pinch myself every time I get to cook in and enjoy my new kitchen. Thanks as well to Amanda Carreon at Jerome H. Interiors for introducing me to Jason, and for working seamlessly with him to completely transform my house. Can't thank you guys enough!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Jason helped us with wood selection, and plan and draw out the tv cabinet/entertainment center on our first visit in real time, taking into account inspiration photos. The assembly process was efficient; Patrick and his crew were very professional and nice, and pay attention to details. The result was amazing, the cabinet is beautiful! (The real life one even much more so than the picture i took).
Strongly recommended!

From initial consultation, to design and customization, and finally installation the Straw Woodwork and Co. team are a class act. The quality of cabinets, the attention to detail, willingness to think outside the box, is just a small piece of the professionalism they bring to a project and their craft. Each member of the team, in front and behind the scenes have your best interest at heart and deep commitment to a quality experience. I cannot say enough good things about them! I feel lucky to have worked with them on several projects and look forward to many more.

We love our kitchen! We initially met with Jason to get some designs for new cabinets for our kitchen. He drew up plans for us and we then contracted with him to build and install those plans. Jason takes the time to show you various options and is very knowledgeable about his craft. He answered all of my questions (I had a lot of them!) and did not have any surprises along the way in terms of price or timelines once they got started. His crew is very professional and meticulous. Our house has an open floor plan and the kitchen is now the a beautiful showpiece for the house. I smile every time I look at it! Not only is it beautiful (just look at that pantry!), it is also super functional. Jason and his team thought of things like changing up the way cabinets open in tough to reach places like over the fridge. I recommend Jason and his crew for any kitchen renovation project.

Jason did a wonderful job with our kitchen. The Fumed Lorch lowers with white glossy uppers turned out incredible. He installed soft close Blum hardware for a clean finish. Several details were incorporated to accommodate the LED lighting. The final product looks like a fine piece of jewelry. A lot of care was used in packaging the 3 crates for shipping. We will use Straw Woodworks for future custom cabinetry and millwork.

We heard great things about Straw Fine Woodworking and knew that we wanted to go with them. We still priced out other cabinet companies and found Straw was competitive but with much higher quality products. Jason and Neil walked us through the design process, listening to our challenges, and offering creative ideas to help our kitchen come to life. They did an excellent job communicating through the whole process, helping us understand our options for veneer, hardware, cabinet size/design and placement. Once it was all finalized, we got in the installation que.
The installation took about a week and was done with a high level of professionalism and communication. Our house is older and includes some variation in the floor and ceiling levelness, and thus challenges in making the cabinets look right. Patrick and the installation crew did an excellent job making it look seamless. They even went above and beyond by correcting some flooring inconsistencies, installing the sink, and installing the microwave with vent. The final product looks amazing! Our kitchen looks clean and sharp. You can see the before pictures with the 1950s cabinets and appliances and then the new ones that Straw installed.

Jason and his team are the ultimate craftsmen. We worked with Straw and Co. on a major kitchen renovation, custom mantel and entertainment center and a master bathroom renovation. Jason has an artist's eye and provided suggestions that aligned with my vision for the design. My custom cabinets were made with amazing wood veneers in unique varieties as well as glass. Jason works well with various materials. When it was time for installation, Jason and his team were efficient, on time and kept the work space clean. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Jason again (and I plan on it)!
