About Grainy Days Woodworking

If it's made out of wood, I can fix it! I love solving problems for people. Sometimes you think outside the box, sometimes you go traditional.

Lyle fixed a leak under a sink, picked up and installed a disposal unit and dishwasher for us. H le is very responsive, punctual and I found his work to be of good value and quality. I'd recommend him to others looking for a reliable handyman and I hope to avail of his services in the future.

I can’t speak to others’ experience but I am very happy with the fan installation services I received. I asked for an additional service (bidet installation) and Lyle took care of it during the same service trip. Grainy Days Woodworking will definitely be receiving future services from me.

-ZERO STARS⭐️ I would strongly advise not hiring this pro. I hired Grainy Days Woodworking to build a custom 40×60 picture frame. The job was done incorrectly twice due to measurement errors the internal dimensions did not fit a true 40×60 print either time. After pointing this out, a third frame was delivered that was extremely flimsy, unsafe, and poorly constructed. It had a staple protruding, was too thin to support plexiglass, backing, and artwork, and broke during normal handling. Even if glued, it would not safely hold the materials and would be a hazard once hung. When I raised these issues, I was told to “glue it back together and get over it.” That response alone speaks volumes about professionalism and accountability. This project involved an expensive print and required basic accuracy and structural integrity. Unfortunately, after multiple attempts, the work was unusable, and the communication became dismissive and inappropriate. I regret hiring this pro and would not recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship, accurate measurements, or professional customer service.

We needed extensions put into a dining table and he did a really nice job on them. You cannot tell the add one

Tim and his wife, Debbie, installed handrails in my stairwells. They are sturdy and beautiful. At first I was not satisfied with the finish work so they came back quickly and worked on things until they suited me. All the time they were pleasant, professional and good natured. Time can also fix many things. They are relay good workers and I would hire them again for another project without hesitation.

Tom’s work on an old dresser brought the piece back to life!

Tom was very helpful, prompt, reasonable, and professional. We love the result and it was his custome design based on our ideas, taking all of our concerns into account.
