This guy doesn't answer his phone he's old school I have no doubt he's a good craftsman but he's not a good business person and he's older over 70 and just not a really serious functioning business but I guarantee he was really good back in his day. If you want a job done and you're trying to get something to happen anytime soon this is not the guy and he doesn't call back his wife answers the phone she's older etc etc good people I'm sure but not for professional work tha You may need done read more

I found Quality Craftsman while doing an internet search for a local craftsman. After reading Marty's bio, I was thoroughly impressed with his skills and found a Yelp link to reviews on Quality Craftsman (QC). After reading all of the 5 star reviews on QC, I requested more information through Yelp. Marty contacted me within a couple of hours and we discussed my project. I recently moved into a brand new home and I wanted a custom wall unit for my office. The wall unit consisted of shelves, cabinets, and a desk. I wanted the wall unit to be integrated into the wall and appear as one piece. I looked at other companies (garage or closet organizers) and their product offerings all appeared to be modular. After Marty looked at my office, he sketched out the wall unit after taking multiple measurements then produced a quote. The price was reasonable so we negotiated a contract and I made a down payment. We agreed to an end of January delivery and installation date. Marty delivered the wall unit well ahead of schedule on January 8. He did the installation with his helper Nic who was very polite and professional. The installation appeared to go without a hitch which is what I expected from a craftsman with close to 60 years of experience. I highly recommend Quality Craftsman for anyone seeking high quality wood work products such as cabinets, desks, or furniture. I have attached a picture of the wall unit that I now have to decorate. Please note the tight tolerances that Marty and Nic were able to maintain during the installation process. Outstanding work by Quality Craftsman!!! read more

What a wonderful experience. We had an idea of what we were looking for. We contacted Marty and he came by with his "drawing stuff" and started a process of asking us questions, measuring our area and designing our new custom entertainment center, bookshelf and mantle. It was a challenging area to deal with, but that was all ok. All-in-all, took about 90 minutes of detailed design work to get exactly what we were looking for on paper. Marty gave us exactly what we were looking for in terms of look, feel, usability and most important quality. Using real maple and walnut, very tight tolerances, miter's joints and the best hardware resulted in as high-end a piece than I would have ever expected. He even took our TV, speakers, and other stuff and made it all with just 3/8" spacing all around to make to make it all look ultra clean All that took 3-4 weeks and came in at a very fair price. You have something you want done, give Marty a call, you wont be disappointed. read more

Marty is a very skilled cabinet maker. His workmanship is the best I have ever seen. His cabinet joints, seams, paint job, finishes and material are flawless. He only does one job at a time, is 100% dedicated to your project and he started and finished when he said he would. He is so easy to work with, is extremely responsive, honest and is always available.. He came in exactly on budget, which was a very fair price.. Even though we have built 3 kitchens over 40 years he is easily the best . I recommend him without any reservations. read more

Marty is a real craftsman! Over 50 years in the business, and it shows. He's straightforward, honest and does amazing work!

Amazing work, communication, quality, and personality. Marty is a one of a kind guy, who stands by his workmanship and skill. He designed a full wall cabinet/desk exactly the way we asked with the finest quality of material. He went above and beyond with communicating his progress and the details of the job. We couldn't believe how beautiful it turned out and how he made it fit so perfectly. Marty's decades of experience and pride in his work shows clearly. I highly recommend Marty for any project big or small. read more

We absolutely love the beautiful fireplace/entertainment piece that Marty designed and made. We interviewed several other contractors and Marty was the only one that understood my vision and came up with a blueprint with his bid. His craftsmanship is superior to anything we've seen. He makes his own moldings, which are beautiful. And he was able to meet my deadline. We highly recommend Quality Craftsman. read more

Short Summary: Marty's expertise, attention to detail, work-ethic, communication, and quality craftsmanship is unmatched. Without hesitation, I would recommend Marty (Quality Craftsman) to anyone looking for the best quality woodworking projects. Detailed Review: If you have time to read, I'll tell you exactly why Marty is so exceptional. I typically evaluate my reviews based on a combination of 1) Quality of product/services; 2) Communication/Customer service; 3) and Cost. To begin with, I consider the job I was looking to have completed to be fairly complex. I was looking for custom French Doors and two sidelights to be installed on a curved wall with an opening of approximately 9 feet (this was to be used as my home office. This meant that the framing, doors, sidelights all had to follow the curve of the wall, which is no easy task (especially when upon measuring, it was discovered that the top of the ceiling wasn't 100% level). I had sought out quotes for almost a year with the majority of contractors/woodworkers/cabinetry specialists/door specialists all immediately declining to even attempt to try the job due to its complexity. Only three people stated they were able to do the job, but all three eventually gave up or fell through before ever truly starting. Fast forward to February 2022, I find Marty with Quality Craftsman and he confidently tells me he can do the job. 1) Quality of Products/Services Simply put, I am blown away with the quality of work and attention to detail. It is everything I had hoped it would be down to the look, the details, the feel, the materials, the weight, and more. I cannot go into all the details on the large number of meticulous considerations that were involved to make this project work (especially his meticulous measurements and planning). He only uses the best wood and other materials. His eye for design and detail is exceptional. I only gave him a rough mockup of what I wanted the doors to look like, and he improved upon them and made it look better than I expected. The various trim pieces, reveals, varying layers and depth, all came together to create a beautiful doorway for my home office. The install process took a little over a day, due to some minor unexpected complications. He confidently took on each part of the install, and also paid a lot of attention to keeping the work area clean. On the second day, he showed the same enthusiasm and detail to finish the install well. All to say, Marty went above and beyond my expectations and I am beyond satisfied with the finished product. 2) Communication/Customer Service Sometimes you give leeway on communication/customer service to skilled craftsman when their work is so exceptional. With Marty, there was no need. From the first time I talked on the phone with Marty, I knew he was attentive, an expert in his trade, and I could tell that he had an incredible sense of humor. He kept me up to date each step of the way, and surprisingly, kept me more updated than I even expected to be. Even more surprising, he completed the job ahead of schedule. I even had the pleasure of visiting his workshop to see where the magic happens. Marty treated me like family, like I was his grandson, and it made this entire experience even more enjoyable. 3) Cost Now, I am very cost conscious on a lot of products and services I look for. However, I am also well-aware that there must be a reasonable balance. The saying that you get what you pay for is often true, so cutting corners and looking for the "cheapest" or most "budget" option may not be the best idea, especially when considering what type of project you are looking to get done. With something like this particular project, I knew it required someone who was a top-notch expert in their craft, and that's who Marty is. Marty has an exceptional portfolio with over 60 years of experience, with him handling some of the most complex projects in the past (SF City Hall, Banks, Restaurants, Commercial offices, etc.). When I saw some of his past work, I had no doubt that he had the experience and expertise to readily handle my project. With all this said, his price was fair and reasonable, and I have no complaints. More accurately, I can say that since he exceeded my expectations in everything, I technically got more than I paid for. Conclusion: Based on all these factors, I would confidently recommend Marty to anyone looking to complete quality woodworking projects. read more

Marty designed and built for us two amazing furniture pieces combining entertainment center and bookshelves functionality. Marty brought experience, artistic vision, great craftsmanship, meticulous planning and execution, that resulted in a very high-quality outcome. He is fun to work with, yet highly professional. His attention to detail is rare today, and the pricing is very reasonable. Everybody is impressed when they see what Marty built for us. We highly recommend Marty and his "Quality Craftsman" team. read more

Marty has been a delight to work with. He appreciated the vision I had for my project, a built in banquette eating area in my kitchen. He made an appointment quickly to come to my home, created a template to take back to his shop, built the unit out of maple at the shop, and brought it back completed beautifully and as requested in a timely manner. The quality is outstanding. Not only that, but Marty is lots of fun. He is a true artisan unlike can often be found in this day and age. I feel so fortunate that he responded so quickly, that he was willing to take on my project, and that I had a chance to get to know him. Now, all my neighbors want his number! read more

We contacted Marty once again to build a custom cabinet for our home. He is wonderful to work with. We had an idea of what we wanted and he made the idea into a beautiful cabinet that was more than what we had anticipated. Marty is a really creative cabinet maker and his work is much better than anything you can buy. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. Once he is done installing the cabinets you cannot tell that it was not part of the original house. Marty built a bookshelf unit for us and it still looks like it was just installed. If you are need of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, bookshelves, just about anything give Marty at Quality Craftsman a call. It's not just a name you truly get, "Quality Craftsmanship!!!" read more

Marty is the best. After contacting about 6 other cabinet makers and being given 6 different versions of "no", I finally found Quality Craftsment (thank you Yelp, and thank you fellow Yelpers). I needed to replace a kitchen cabinet that holds the sink, but it was in a weird space, and I had some things I REALLY wanted done. The kitchen is small and does not have much in the way of counterspace, so I wanted to have two pull out cutting boards to add to the amount of counterspace. All the other folks told me to go to Ikea or Home Depot and just insert a pre-made one. Marty, on the other hand, seemed to really enjoy the challenge of giving me exactly what I wanted - and more. He takes a lot of pride in his work, and built a solid, incredibly high-quality cabinet from the ground up, helping me decide what countertop I wanted, and what type of sink to get. He came over twice to make sure the measurements were 100% correct (one of the walls is bowed, and he wanted to make sure that the splash was flush with the wall). When he finished - earlier than expected - he installed it with his son (who was super nice as well) and showed me all the bells and whistles of the piece. It is a marvel. It fits perfectly in the odd space, looks gorgeous and is as sturdy as can be. My wife and I have been marveling at it all week. This morning my wife overheard me saying "And how was your night, my beautiful?" and asked who I was talking to. I said "the new sink" and she didn't even get jealous. At first I was concerned about the price, but after installation, I feel as though it was very, very fair. Not cheap - but so well worth it. I'm a VERY satisfied customer. I've put some pictures on here, but they don't even do it justice. Look at them all, because I put the "before" picture as well. Note the pull out cutting boards. The drawers and doors are "soft closing" and Marty came back the next day to caulk it up and even sanded our old pull out cutting board for us, free of charge. If you're looking for quality, you'll find it with Quality Craftsman Cabinets. read more

Quality Craftsman totally lives up to its name and goes beyond expectations! We wanted our kitchen cabinets refreshed and user friendly and ended up with a kitchen showcase. Such pride in workmanship, prompt attention to detail and beauty in the finished product! Mr. Thomson and his partner worked with us from penciled plans to completion during our very stressful time of remodeling, always leaving us with encouragement and a smile. We even called him back to add a pantry. Quality Craftsman is the best of the best!! read more

Noah made a beautiful bathroom vanity for us. I won't hesitate to ask for their help again on a custom project. My favorite part is how nice it looks, but I am also happy about the fact that he finished it more than a week earlier than I asked for (I was in a crunch to get this done before visitors). Communication was good and he was accommodating of my requests. We stared with my hand drawn sketch and ended up with a very professionally finished job, including a couple of very shallow custom-depth drawers which another business said they don't do. He also made a floating shelf and a windowsill for the kitchen. Thank you. read more

We decided to have someone build us a bookcase for our room. We did some research on yelp and found "Marty" of Quality Craftsman. I spoke to his wife Stephanie who was quite informative and very lovely to speak with. She said she would have Marty call when he arrived home from a job he was finishing. Marty was great to speak with and we made an appointment for him to come out. Marty is one of a kind. He is very personable and has a wonderful sense of humor and immediately put us at ease. He measured the space and then went to work with a pencil and a piece of paper to draw out a few ideas with our input. He had some great ideas and gave us a price immediately. He immediately went to work and kept us updated on the progress. He was very timely on the build and organized upon the installation. He and his grandson arrived to do the install. They worked so well together is was like a ballet in sync. They were very neat and clean throughout the process. The pics do not do this piece justice. Marty's attention to detail and obvious talent to put this together are unparalleled. We are going to remodel a master bathroom and were so impressed with Marty's craftsmanship we are definitely going to have Quality Craftsman (Marty) build our bathroom vanities. Well worth it to have quality woodworking in your home! Not to mention, "Just nice people to work with!" read more

My husband and I couldn't be happier with the two custom bookshelves/cabinets and tv stand/cabinets with a window seat that Marty made for us! We initially asked Marty if he would be interested in coming over to provide a quote for what we had envisioned after reading his excellent reviews. He stopped by and was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and had a portfolio showing some of his beautiful work through the years. He provided us with drawings and a quote later that week. We believed he understood our vision and the price was very reasonable. Communication was excellent - he called us weekly for a construction status update. On installation day, Marty was on time (early!) and worked tirelessly for hours installing everything. You can tell he is proud of his work (as he should be) and is a perfectionist. We are so lucky to have found Marty - the quality of work is evident from his years of experience. We highly recommend Marty with Quality Craftsman - thanks Marty! read more

Regretfully, there aren't many craftsmen with the experience and expertise to fabricate challenging woodwork designs. Marty Thompson is one of the few technicians in the area with that pedigree. He took my fixture design and turned the end product into something that is both unique and functional. Image to Art now has a gallery with custom fixtures and an impressive setting to showcase our original photographs and art. Thanks to Marty for his creativity and attention to detail. read more

Dear Marty, Thank you for the wonderful job you and your team did at the house. We absolutely love the new office and the wood simply glows! The craftsmanship is exquisite and the fit and finish nothing short of perfect. Your personal 50 years of experience definitely shows through. If we had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate to call on you. Quality Craftsman will defiantly have our highest recommendation plus you have an awesome shop. We considered 3 other cabinet vendors and for a similar price they were asking for laminate and particle board you created a wonderful space using mahogany and maple. The installation was flawless! Incredible. We are so glad we went with Quality Craftsman and were able to support a local business. Don't retire just yet, we many have additional projects in the works. Best Kai read more

Wow, these guys are amazing. From start to finish, working with Marty has been an absolute pleasure. He was able to design and install our cabinets 2 weeks faster than the other company we were initially working with (won't mention their name), and also was able to beat their pricing! As real cabinet experts, they created my custom cabinets from scratch and their superior craftsmanship really does outshine the competition. I wish we used them for remodeling our bathrooms too, but I hadn't been referred to them yet. They seem to be a one-stop shop for all custom woodwork. I can't compliment their work enough, and I can tell you I am one completely satisfied customer. Will use them again! read more

Marty and Noah did an outstanding job with our kitchen remodel. They were attentive and responsive to our goals (updating the flow and functionality while maintaining the older style that matched the house), and at the same time their suggestions and questions led to better choices and adjustments every single time. The cabinetry, including an island and a built-in dish cabinet (that mirrored and improved upon one that was there that could not be saved), is the focal point of interest every time someone sees our house, and for us, seeing it and using it every day, we love it more and more. I cannot say enough good things about the attention to detail, professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care that went into every aspect of their work. Many thanks! read more

Marty did an absolutely beautiful job on a vanity for our bathroom remodel. He provided some very thoughtful and helpful suggestions for decisions along the way. We had spoken initially with a few other people who provided suggestions, but were not nearly as helpful or as easy to work with. Marty was very enjoyable to work with, so much so that I'm almost sorry he finished so quickly! We would not hesitate to use him again if we need additional work done. read more

What an amazing craftsman. Bottom line is no he's not cheap but you get what you pay for. I received an amazing coffee table display case.

I work for a company that will only use "Quality Craftsman" both Marty and his son Michael are easy and professional to work with. They have done a number of custom designs in our office and we get compliment after compliment. I would highly recommend this company. read more

I've been buying cabinets for 15 years from just about everyone in the Bay Area you can think of. I've bought from a number of the Chinese outfits, but they are only good for rentals and low to mid quality cabinets. When I need something to fit in a higher end home and I still want to do it on a reasonable budget I go to Marty at Quality Craftsman. He is a true "craftsman" in every sense of the word. He has been making cabinets for the last fourty years. His wood shop is huge, I mean huge! He create anything that you can draw out of wood. He treats every job like its his own, and whenever I deal with Qualtiy Craftsman I am astonished at what a great product I receive. Just ask to see one of his sample cabinets and you'll be sold instantly, they're like friggin pieces of furniture! Go with them, you will not be disappointed read more

I've had a great experience working with Marty and his team at Quality Craftsman. My husband and I looked into a number of companies to furnish the bookshelves and cabinets in our newly renovated home and found QC through a referral by a friend. Their product was by far superior to the other vendors we looked into. Their customer service was outstanding-- they are very accommodating, easy to work with and at an extremely reasonable price point. If you need any woodwork done you should do yourself a favor and at least give them a call because you won't be disappointed. read more

I was connected to Marty upon my first call. I told him I wanted a cabinet to hide my TV. He asked me how long my wall was, and I told him I could measure it. His response was: I am busy with a bid right now. (as in I cant be bothered) I went and got my tape measure while he was still on the phone told him the measurements and he quoted me a price. WTF? He had no idea what I was asking for. He didnt know the setting, what kind of construction, how many shelves etc. When I was incredulous, He said: "This aint my first barbeque." Can you imagine how rude he will be once he DOES get your money? Obviously, he doesnt need my or your business. SKIP HIM! read more

Marty, his son Michael, and the rest of the team at Quality Craftsman are truly quality craftsman. Yes, their prices are good and their workmanship is great. But what makes them stand out from the competion even further is the pride they take in their work, their creativity and artistry. Their expectations for the finished products are extremely high. They've come up with several creative solutions to difficult problems for me and they stand behind their work, no questions asked and are a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. read more

Marty's work is amazing! His attention to detail and craftsmanship is absolutely top notch. He helped design and then beautifully fabricated and installed a gorgeous built in desk, a bench, and a TV cabinet for us. All are stunning and his attention to detail is superb. I would HIGHLY recommend working with him. I can attest he was a pleasure to work with throughout the process, and really does know his craft. read more
