Joaquin Tellez Reyes Retana = Wood working shop - Sierra Rumorosa 145, Lomas de Mazatlan - 9833732: Joaquin has a large shop buried in the middle of a residential neighborhood, right next to a pet store. He has over 30 years experience and has built the doors for the Inn at Mazatlan, Playa Maria Beach Club, and many other places. We especially like the fact that he employs several people with Down's Syndrome as well as mongoloid conditions. He teaches them a trade and self-worth at the same time. We priced some intricate custom doors and cabinets at his shop as well as the Concordia area. We found that he was less expensive and that his delivery time was going to be much shorter.
Definitely include Joaquin in your list of those to be considered when looking for custom wood work (furniture, doors, etc.).
