Customer Reviews
Lou Kern is an amazingly talented carpenter who not only creates beautiful objects, but also listens closely to his clients in order to incorporate their needs and desires.
He has built two projects for our family: a very attractive set of bunk beds for our twin girls, and a custom-built staircase for our renovated home. We were very pleased with both creations and those visiting the house have nothing but positive comments about these completed projects.
I would recommend Mr. Kern to anyone interested in hiring a master craftsmen to create something of beauty and lasting value. R. Weaver San Bruno, CA
Lou is the kind of craftsman one can only dream about finding in this age of make-do, cheap knock offs. Lou creates the real deal using his vast knowledge of wood and the craftsmanship it takes to create a piece with lasting beauty. I say "piece" because these are truly artisan.
We own a 100 year old house in Berkeley and take maintaining its heritage seriously. It came time to face the fact that our front door was beyond weathered. We'd had it "refurbished" twice, sanding, glue and varnish helping it limp along. Yet, when ever I thought of replacing this well served door with one of the ones you find at big box stores OR, even our local, more "high end" building supply place, I'd back away from the project.
Finally, a good friend passed along Lou's name to me. We met and discussed the existing door at length and what he envisioned for a replacement door. Lou gave me the confidence that creating a new door would give us everything we were looking for. I also learned a ton about doors which was half the fun!
If you are looking for a wood craftsman, LOU is your guy!
