Every once in a while you come across a small company that does great work at great prices and has great customer service. Well...Century Porch Post is one of those rare finds. They made a dozen replacement balusters for the front porch of our century house. Very highly recommended.

Thanks for the replication of the pieces (newel posts, spindles and railings), they look great! We also found someone to stain the newel post & handrail to match the original and do the install. He is a craftsmen and well respected in his field and thought your work and the wood used was excellent! Unfortunately, anyone who doesn't know the house will think that they were always there, so I guess that is a compliment!!

The posts arrived last Wednesday and they are beautiful! Excellent workmanship, and materials every bit as good as I had hoped for. And I want to mention that your choice of shipping carriers was a good one. The customer service was excellent all the way down to final delivery, and a 350 lb. crate nearly 11 ft. long being delivered to a residence presents challenges. But they were more than accommodating. Nice work on the crating too.

What a beauty! The verandah post arrived today, and what a beautiful reproduction of this 140 year old verandah post. It was
so well done, down to very finest of details in that intricate turning that one could not help but admire the craftsmanship
that went into the reproduction. So this is to say thank you all very very much. It looked so amazing that we carried it
into the livingroom to show my 95 year old mum, and she was so delighted she wanted to send you a thank you note. She has
been in this old victorian home since she was in her 20s, and like my dad, loves it dearly. Your craftsmanship has been a
real gift - she can see that the original has been faithfully reproduced. She thought it was beautiful. So thank you very
very much again. If the weather holds, I will be back in touch on additional work before the winter, and if it doesn't, I
will definitely be back in touch in the spring. Thank you also for cutting it to 95 inches, and the nicely squared ends. It
will make my life a lot easier. And thank you also for the advice on sealer - I had bought some up was not sure about it as
I had not used if before, so when your note recommended the same product that i had just bought, I feel more comfortable
applying 2 coats of it, before the exterior oil paint. All the best - you made our day!

Received the table legs yesterday, they're beautiful. Really, really nice work. The pictures on your website just don't do them justice! I'm currently working on restoring an 1890s house so I'll definitely recommend you guys for any spindles and posts we may need. Oh, and I'll send you guys a picture of the harvest table when it's finished- it's made of reclaimed beams from the house and the legs complement it really well.

Better late than never I always say. My name is Brion Moorhead and you turned a post for a client of mine last winter I believe. I never got around to telling you, and I apologize for that, that the Post you made for me was Beautiful! I could not have asked for a better copy of my post unless it was turned when the house was built 100 + years ago. Everything about my doing business with you was superb right down to the excellent way you shipped my post to keep it out of harms way in the delivery process.
Just wanted to let you know how happy I am and I will be ordering from you again in the near future.
You may use me as one of your testimonial's if you would like but I am sure you have no shortage of happy customers.

Dear Terri and Century Porch Post Team,

Thank you very much for your prompt and courteous service. Our posts showed up yesterday in an extremely well packaged box. The posts are beautiful and your service is second to none. Ordering was very user friendly and your website easy to navigate as well. Kudos to you all! We look forward to working with you soon on our next project involving turned posts. I believe your costs are reasonable and competitive with our local stock column and post suppliers. I anticipate working with you as I believe your lead time on custom posts is faster than what we currently have on stock profiles from other providers. Keep up the great work!

As a repeat customer I knew you wouldn't let me down. Opening the Island legs today was like Christmas.

Thanks for such a beautiful job on the short above-porch spindles. I couldn't find replacements anywhere.
