Brad Turley, president of Continuum Performance Systems:

“I think the quality of work Jim does is excellent. I don’t think I’d keep hiring him back if it wasn’t. Plus he and I have a pretty good relationship in which I can come up with a concept, talk him through it, maybe give him a napkin or scrap paper with the basic dimensions and we take it from there. He’s good at taking my concepts and making them better than I had it originally. The quality is excellent. Nine jobs later he has always delivered when he said and what he said he’d deliver. In summary I think that Jim’s been very good to work with. He does excellent work. My standard operating procedure is to come with an idea then to improve upon it three or four more times before we start. That’s what Jim brings to the table. Not only is he a good craftsman, but he has the ability to be flexible.”

Gary Montessi, owner of Montessi Volkswagon:

“We found Jim Matthews through a fellow that we bought some AV equipment from. Upon purchase of the components, we thought, appropriately, that we needed a space to put many of them. We need bookshelves, etc. Jim came highly recommended so we dialed him up, arranged for an initial meeting and from there we went. We found Jim to be very cooperative, very worthwhile in terms of suggestions. We went from idea to conversation to more conversation to a drawing to some tweaking with some input from us, some revisions on the drawing. He was very easy to work with, very easy to communicate with. By looking at Jim’s representation on paper of our idea we were able to better visualize it and fine tune it from there.”

Bob Tuccio, Designer of Audio Visual Systems:

"The thing that sets Jim apart, other than the fact that he has the ability to build to this kind of detail, there are very few cabinet people that have the ability to finish to the quality level that Jim finishes. He enjoys working with fine woods and his finish is, bar none, above anything I've see from any cabinet...That's the kind of person you need when you're working in the high-end audio video world."
