NEED ADVICE?

Do you need advice on how best to clean the wood pieces (furniture, cabinets, etc) in your house? Just ask. We'll help.

One general rule for cleaning wood is use a lightly damp cloth. This is easy on the wood, and can clean most of the every day smudges.

CHALKING UP ANOTHER AWARD
















Vision Woodworks, Inc is excited to announce that yet another of its projects has won a REX award. It was announced in June that the Redmond project won in the “Kitchens More Than $175,000” category. In this breathtaking kitchen, glazed finished upper and lower cabinets stand as a backdrop to an elegant mahogany island with French curves. It is no wonder it won a BIAW (Building Industry Association of Washington) award in 2009, and a REX (Remodeling Excellence) award in 2010 from the Master Builders Association. A big thank you to Singleton Construction for coordinating this project.
