What customers say about Sterling

The renovation of a period building for our business turned out better than we’d hoped. It was not an easy project but Jon and his team were amazing.

Recommendation for Sterling Carpentry

After a two-year house build, we decided that adding a spa room would complete our dream house. However, an experienced carpenter and skilled interpreter of architect designs was imperative.

Following a trusted recommendation, we ‘discovered’ Jon Cresswell of Sterling Carpentry who is an excellent carpenter and an all-round versatile Craftsman with a wealth of experience making him a true artisan in his field. His skills were put to the test when he accepted the challenging design plan that seemed almost impossible to execute. The task was to sympathetically integrate a bespoke spa room into the asymmetrical space between a contemporary stone-built house and a garage.

Jon approached the project with a sympathetic interpretation of the design brief, showcasing an impeccable eye for detail and a deep understanding of the architectural and aesthetic nuances. He understood that blending a spa seamlessly into such an irregular space required not just technical expertise but an artist’s touch.

As he methodically worked through the challenges, it became evident that amongst his many strengths is a passion for problem-solving. Diverse design features, differing floor levels, and roof heights that would have phased most were obstacles that he gracefully overcame. It was a testament to his determination and unwavering commitment to excellence.

What truly sets Jon apart is his ability for lateral thinking and his vast reservoir of experience and can-do spirit. He doesn’t just find solutions; he finds ingenious ones that work seamlessly with the design, making the final product outstanding in quality and aesthetics. He transformed a challenging project into a working masterpiece.

Jon has a wide pool of quality contacts in related trades, for when specific skills or materials are needed, he knows just the right people to bring in, ensuring a harmonious collaboration that contributed to the project’s overall success.

We cannot thank Jon enough for his dedication, artistry and professionalism in delivering our dream spa. He turned a vision into a reality, and every day we step into that spa, we’re reminded of his exceptional work. We would not hesitate for a moment in recommending him to anyone seeking a professional who not only excels in his trade but also goes above and beyond to make dreams come true.

Yours Sincerely
