Malcolm Mcgrath Cabinets And Fine Carpentry

With a limited budget, we wanted to find a way to renovate our 70-year-old kitchen to give us more storage space and an updated feel; however, we did not want to rip out all of the existing wooden cabinetry and replace it with the cookie-cutter, particle-board cabinetry that is all too common in kitchen renovations. We were very fortunate to find Malcolm (Skip) McGrath, whose workmanship provided upgrades that exceeded our expectations. He designed and built a cabinet for the sink area with storage that allows us to sort and store our grey-bin and blue-bin garbage; the cabinet also includes pull-out drawers for food storage. Skip also increased the functionality of our adjoining breakfast nook by creating a floor-to-ceiling pantry, a built-in bookcase and a large wrap-around seating area that provides a combination breakfast bar and computer station. All of the cabinetry that Skip built matches perfectly the existing cabinetry in our kitchen, complementing our original kitchen design. Skip uses only the best-quality material, stays within budget, gets the work done quickly, and never fails to return telephone calls and emails. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using Skip again and in recommending his services to others.

Malcolm (Skip) was extremely punctual and fair in all of my dealings with him. He was upfront and gave timelines that were adhered to - to the day. His meticulous attention to detail and quality are amazing........ and all for a very competitive, fair price. His company especially shines whenever there is woodwork involved (cabinetry, etc....).
I highly recommend him. This is the 3rd time I have used him and will use him again.

I can't believe you can get a kitchen as nice looking as mine for under $5000 including an island. If you are looking for a reliable craftsman that can create a fantastic looking Kitchen on a budget or an amazingly high quality kitchen call this guy. You will not be dissapointed!!!

Malcom Mcgrath was referred to me by friends in my building that he had done some work for. We were pleased with the quality of his work . He was honest, straight-forward and hard working. His fees came to far less than we expected.

Malcom McGrath provided detailed service from start to finish. This attention to detail reflected in the outstanding finished product. I appreciated Skip working within my budget and bringing the project to completion quickly.

We had Malcolm build us a custom entertainment centre for our living room. He did it in an antique pine to match the other furnishings. It fit in great with the style of the room and he was fast and polite. We would definitely use him again.

I would like to express my appreciation for the fine job you did renovating our showroom/office on Lake Shore Boulevard. The workmanship was of the highest quality, on time and within the estimate you provided. The site was left very clean and all waste materials removed. I would have no hesitation in recommending you for other work. Finding a contractor that you can trust to get the job done on time with the attention to detail you showed is a very rare thing these days. Thanks again to all your employees for their dedication to our project.

I have been in the construction industry for the past 30 years and am a very knowledgeable consumer when it comes to cabinetry and millwork. We did a complete basement renovation and turned our unfinished basement into a beautiful living space. Having made a significant investment, we wanted the finishing touches to match the high-quality look of the rest of the renovations. I hired Malcolm McGrath (aka “Skip”) to build and install custom book shelves, a fireplace mantel, built in storage cabinets and two work desks for our children to do homework at. What a great decision. Skip did most of the work off-site at his shop, so there was no mess at our house. When it all arrived at our house for installation, we loved the look. The interiors of the cabinets were finished in clear maple and the exteriors in satin white. The quality of the work is exceptional. The finishing lacquer has a beautiful smooth feel to it that mass produced cabinets never have. The cost of the work was only a little more than what mass produced Home Depot cabinets are (and theirs are press board crap, not solid wood like Skip built). The value we received was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. Skip is a true professional, which is often missing in the residential renovation market. Thanks Skip.

"I hired Malcolm (Skip) McGrath to design and build a custom wall unit for my living room to house new audio/video equipment. My home is an older one so it was important to match the tyle, proportion and colour of existing wood work and trim. Skip guided me through the design process, with innovative ideas and creative suggestions for size, colour and style. He always provided me with various options and had many samples of woodwork and hardware for me to look over. He was thorough in discussing them with me. His work was done on time and very professionally. The end result was beautiful and looked better than I had imagined it would be ! I would highly recommend this creative designer and skilled craftsman to anyone ! "
