Testimonials
"
Agrell Architectural Carving contributed greatly to the success of one of my most challenging projects — the recovery from fire damage at the Hermitage Foundation Museum in Norfolk, Virginia. Throughout the
project I was truly impressed by the outstanding quality of the firm’s work and by
Ian Agrell’s enthusiasm,
personable manner, and professional commitment to the project."

United States and found another firm able to produce such exquisite carving."
"The duplicated George II pine woodwork your shop provided for the residence was of equal if not superior
quality to the
original mid-18th century casing. baseboard, and crown moulding."
