"Working with Doug is like having a new family friend. He gets you involved in creating your vision whereas other contractors would find input from their clients a bother.”


"When Doug and his team were working on our project, another contractor who was digging the hole for the pool ran into a major problem that he refused to deal with-trust me it's a long story. Doug jumped in and volunteered to take care of the problem, which he did in an ingenious manner. He's that kind of guy…no problem is too big or small to challenge his creative mind.”


"Raynor Woodworking created amazing solutions, while respecting the feel that my architect and I were after. For my project, Doug designed a unique structure to accommodate unusual lighting, recommended cutouts to better utilize my space and display my art collection, and fabricated steel molding to compliment the design motif. No detail was unimportant when it came to creating the special look or feel that I was after. ”



During the photo shoot for this web site, one client commented, “ We have been thrilled with every project that we have worked on with Raynor Woodworking—from transforming the laundry room into an office space, to the playroom for the kids. Each and every addition/renovation has been a collaborative effort that has made this house a home that we truly enjoy—whether we are putting away the sports equipment in the new entry way or entertaining in the dining room.”




When you talk to Doug you would know none of these things. He is unassuming, charming, and a delight to work with. Doug's philosophy is that he wants each and every client to be a client for life. And that is how he has gotten to where he is today. As clients' needs have evolved they have brought Raynor Woodworking in to take their homes to the next step because they didn't want to work with anyone else. When speaking with clients their excitement about his work and working with him sounds almost magical. But when you care about your home, the people you invite into your home—especially the people you select to transform it—have to be equally special.
