My numerous experiences of P&P have been wonderful. Mike and his crew provided over and above customer service, great quality product and excellent value. They are a wealth of information regarding all things wood and didn't hesitate to point me towards their competition if they didn't have or couldn't get something I needed right away. Furthermore, I know Mike to be an honest guy with strong values towards integrity, family, taking care of his employees and giving back to the community through volunteer service. He and his business are a credit to Powell River and something that deserves our wholehearted support. - Jonathan Huck ★★★★★
Mike and Chris from Post & Purlin have been so helpful and customer service focused, from helping me design my cooktop hood vent, fireplace mantel and dining room table to the excellent craftsmanship of each item, they are beautiful additions to our home and exactly what I envisioned. I am absolutely thrilled with the finished products and that we have a local company that can produce a wide range of high-quality custom furniture. Highly recommend them to help make your ideas come to life. - Gwen Hodges ★★★★★
