Sometimes a fresh coat of paint and some new plush carpet just aren’t going to cut it. It’s time to bring a fresh new look to your home or business, and you’ve got some unique elements to include – a beloved piece of stained-glass art, some hand-painted accents to add a little flair, or a lovely bookshelf crafted perfectly to fit your collectibles. We love helping people bring their unique ideas to life.

Here is what people are saying about Steller Jay:

"

"Steller Jay is a great business. Michael Jones has done several jobs at our house and done an excellent job on everything he worked on. He arrives on time and keeps his promises. He is excellent at keeping clients apprised of the status of projects. His work area is always kept clean during and after work each day. I'd recommend Steller Jay to anyone in Eagle River/Chugiak."

-Linda, Eagle River

"We really can't say enough about Michael and the fantastic work he has done for our home and family business. From small things like door & window installation, to larger projects like an entire barn renovation and remodel, he has been our "go to" carpenter for several years. Michael has always been honest, a great communicator, punctual and friendly. His many years of experience make him an easy choice for any future projects. We more than recommend Steller Jay!"

-Luke, Walla Walla, WA

I unhesitatingly recommend Steller Jay Custom Carpentry. I've hired Steller Jay for three major projects now & I've been very happy.  They're small and local and responsive, so when you've got him on your job, you get their undivided time and attention. I totally, totally trust them to do good work and to be honest - everything that you look for in a builder. 

-Tim, Peter’s Creek

“What I really love about Michael is that he has this finish carpentry gift. If I say, ‘This is an old banister, I need it to look like this, but not be perfect,’ he gets it.”

- Kelly, San Jose

I have known Michael for over 20 years and I have seen the amount of attention to detail that he offers his customers! Meghan is an amazing artist, and with her creativity added to Michael’s carpentry skills, you are sure to have an end product that you love!

-Stephen Wood, Owner

  Great Alaska Flooring Company

"Michael worked as a member of my finish crew for my construction business. He is extremely thoughtful, considerate, and respectful of others. He is dependable, punctual, and consistent. He is skilled and applies himself fully to his given task. It was a pleasure to work with Michael and I recommend him highly."

- Steve Diepenbrock, Owner
  Morningstar Builders
  Orcas Island, WA

"Stellar Jay does beautiful work. Clean, quick, thoughtful and very pleasant to work with, I highly recommend them. They built the play castle for the preschool where I teach and Michael built two custom bunk beds for my children about 7 years ago. They were very sturdy, in fact...we cut the beds apart and my children are still using the beds to this day. No wobbles!”

-Laura, Eagle River

“It has been hard for us to find contractors in the past who could do work like Michael. He was really interested in hearing what we wanted and what our needs are. He clearly enjoys the process of making something the way somebody really wants it.”

- Josh & Katy, Eagle River

Michael built a new stair case and railing system, and put trim throughout our house. He sanded down the original wood and revitalized it. It’s beautiful! His work is beyond excellent and top quality.

–Shelley, Eagle River
