Joe was very easy to work with, excellent at communication, and really eager to make sure we were happy with the finished product. There was a lot of back and forth in helping us figure out the final design, and making sure we were comfortable with the direction of the project. Importantly, the table he made for us looks great, and is exactly what we hoped for. Highly recommend.

I contacted Joe, finding him via an internet search, looking for someone who could make a digital piano stand. He was not the first that I had contacted but he as the first to respond within a reasonable amount of time and show interest in what I was envisioning for my stand. I sent sketches and he enhanced what I drew, making suggestions and pointing out details and considerations that I missed. Once we decided on the style, wood, finish, and cost (reasonable for custom piece) he went to work. When I went to pick up the stand I was very pleased at the quality and he took care in explaining how the stand would close and open. I have had the stand now for about 9 months and can say...love it! Joe is a much better woodworking artist than I am a piano player!

This is my new shower enclosure! Joe Massanova is a craftsman and perfectionist! He worked with me on the specifics of the design until he understood exactly what I wanted, thinking through the process before ever cutting a piece of wood. He didn’t call the job complete until everything was solid, level and plumb and the door worked exactly, and I do mean exactly, the way it should. This shower may outlast the house and it looks great!

I used Joe from Nova Woodworking to built some custom shelves in a bedroom, drawers/shelves in a closet, a cabinet and a countertop for folding clothes in a laundry area, and an enclosure for an exposed circuit breaker panel in an office area in my home. His workmanship is superb. He listened carefully to what I wanted, making professional suggestions where I needed advice. I would not hesitate to call him back for another project in the future.

Joe built me a beautiful dining room table. He helped me design it and built it custom to fit my dining room needs. The table is gorgeous and has been used many times already and will be used for years by my family in friends. I highly recommend Nova Woodworking for all of your custom furniture and other woodworking needs.

Joe made a custom table for us. Looks better than we expected.

I have used Nova Woodworking many times over the years. The quality and craftsmanship has been consistently amazing. The items have stood the test of time, and several moves! Everything is high quality and completely custom to your needs. I have had Nova Woodworking build a kitchen table, doll furniture, and even a lighthouse well cover. Everything has exceeded my expectations. Nova Woodworking brings your custom dreams to a reality.

Joe from Nova Woodworking is phenomenal. In a world where everything is fast-paced, mass-produced, and thrown together for the cheapest prices and cheapest quality, Joe brings old-world traditions, thoughtfulness, and high quality to each of his works. We have used Joe for many things over the years, from beautifully constructed and custom-made shelving units for our Living Room, our farmhouse kitchen table that not only functions as our main eating area but also our main crafting area, game table, and main gathering space with two little kiddos, and even a high quality and custom-made large climbing arch for our kids that endures my kids’ day-in and day-out creative playscapes they imagine up. My house is well-lived in, especially with my two kiddos, but Joe’s work not only stands up to our wear-and-tear lifestyle, it still looks beautiful doing so.

Joe is a friendly, honest businessman who is fair and diligent in his work. He created and installed two built - in bookshelves framing our three front windows on both sides. One side bookshelf is equipped with two sideway drawer file cabinets below, while the other side bookshelf has a regular storage cabinet below. He added a shelf beneath the entire bank of windows connecting both sets of bookshelves. Very attractive and sturdy. Excellent craftsmanship. Joe takes pride in his work, something rare in the IKEA world of today. Highly recommend!

I needed custom cabinets made to display my baseball memorabilia collection. Talked with Joe and he put together a perfect design for me to use.

Now I have 3 of those cabinets and I get compliments from everyone about how perfectly the cabinets are to display my collection.

Bill Hunter

Joe is a superb craftsman! He has done custom woodworking for several design clients over the years and his work is always impeccable. Joe is responsive, professional, and an excellent and friendly communicator. I am confident that when he is brought onto a project I will have a happy client and that the end results will be finished beautifully. Having Joe as a resource adds tremendous value to my interior design business and I am so grateful to have him as a friendly and trusted source for woodworking of the highest caliber. I enthusiastically and highly recommend Nova Woodworking!
