“Hossle Woodworks defies logic. Justin has somehow figured out the secret location where aesthetic beauty, stunning functionality, and skillfully-honed craft all meet for a long lunch. The conversation is captivating, the food is incredible and he’ll even help you load your car with bookshelves.”
— Tod F.
“We have now commissioned two pieces from Hossle Woodworks and have been wildly impressed with both. One was a slightly modified version of his design, and another was completely custom to fit our space. Justin was extremely open to our input when we had changes in mind and was able to articulate how the piece would work if we incorporate the changes. This allowed us to decide with confidence on which direction to go with our piece. We would absolutely work with Hossle Woodworks again should we discover another need! ”
— Rolf and Ann.
“I’ve worked with Justin at Hossle Woodworks for several years. His knowledge and attention to detail have provided me with the perfect furniture for my home. Justin is thorough, easy to work with, and always willing to take time to discuss my concerns and respond to my questions. It is with great confidence that I recommend Hossle Woodworks.”
— Myrn H.
“It was a pleasure to work with Justin to design a custom bathroom vanity and matching mirror. Because of COVID we had to communicate remotely, and he didn’t get to see the space personally. Nevertheless Justin perfectly executed the vision in his distinct style. We now have bespoke bathroom fixtures rather than the cookie-cutter ones available at box stores, and for a very reasonable price.”
— Logan S.
