Winter Woodworks

"I am a resident of Coconut Grove and needed a door constructed for an outdoor entryway from my driveway to the house. I had not been satisfied with previous contractors or carpenters who had done mediocre work. I found Winter Woodworks on the internet and contacted the owner Mark Anthony who met with me and discussed my ideas. Because of his knowledge and experience I decided to move forward and engage him for the project. It required design, purchase of teak wood which I wanted, construction, and installation. He incorporated my input into the design and helped facilitate my ideas into the creation. The door was complex and included the the addition of pieces of glass, and metal work for the door handle. Pictures are below. The door came out spectacularly and is a piece of art. It is strong, and water, fungus and mold resistant - something needed for its environment. The success of this project led me to have him address a large heavy complex veranda (pictures below) that required removing abundant rot, replacing beams, adding support, and weatherizing the structure to prevent further deterioration. The final product was exceptional. This was then followed by hiring him to redo outdoor cabinetry below an out door barbecue (pictures included). He designed and constructed the wood doors with bleached mahogany - it turned out in an excellent fashion. Lastly, he has great expertise in restoring and preserving wood furniture that is meant to be outdoors - looks better than new and survives the Miami sun and moisture. If you want a master artisan wood worker - Winter Woodworks - is all you need. The work is done in an impeccable fashion with the highest standards. Mark stays in continuous communication, explains decisions and strategy, is accountable, detailed, creative, and talented. He stands by his work overtime. As in any high quality project, it takes time and money, but is well worth it."

"Mark did a wonderful job building custom built -in bookcases for our home. He made it work beautifully in an odd and irregular space in our house. His professionalism, attention to detail, craftsmanship is excellent."

"I recently did a consultation with Mark Anthony and found it very helpful. He came to my home, and took the time to answer all of my questions about potential projects, specifically window-related projects. He has a great track record, and is very knowledgeable. I hope to be able to work with him soon."

"Mark Anthony is a very talented carpenter. I was so happy with the built in office/tv furniture. I've been so happy over the years with his work. He's also a very pleasant person to deal with."

"I am beyond elated to have found such a masterful craftsman, Mark Anthony. I recently had him repair a bad varnish job on a family heirloom toy chest. He restored it beautifully and I plan to have him work on other projects for me. He has quite an extensive and extraordinary background in woodworking."
