For several of my hospitality/commercial projects, SDUT has proven to be one of the most resourceful and creative teams I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Always up for a challenge, SDUT goes the extra mile to find solutions for even the most daunting proposals.
So happy and excited to have found Dan and Jess at San Diego Urban Timber! I just moved my furniture business to San Diego and was originally just looking for some help flattening out some slabs (which they did perfectly for me) but I couldn't help poking my head around all the local wood they have and walk away with more beautiful pieces that I was not planning on. Dan and Jess are chalk full of knowledge and very friendly and open in sharing their knowledge. I'm looking forward to them being my local slab suppliers and expect this was my first visit of many to come in the future.
This is a place where owners Dan and Jess have manifested loving what you do into something magical. You can create your own special piece from locally sourced lumber or have them create it for you. You can get artsy and learn how to add resin to your project.
You can soak up the vibes in the garden or gaze at the mural that adorns the building. It's a place you want to stay awhile and take it all in.
Hands down this is one of the coolest places in San Diego and Chula Vista is fortunate to have them.
