About

Quality, attention to detail and state-of-the-art customer service. Every effort is made to give you the quality you deserve at a price that won't break the bank although I have to warn you, custom is not cheap. If you can find what you want at a furniture store or in boxed cabinets it will almost always be less expensive than custom. I think I was born with sawdust in my veins. This is, without a doubt, the perfect job for me. It allows me to exercise both sides of my brain and there is more than enough physical work so I am not trapped behind a desk. It goes well with my aversion to paperwork. The mental challenges can be a bit daunting at times. This business seems to have defeat built in. It involves a considerable amount of math & logistics and mistakes lurk at every juncture. Transposing a figure or a moment of dyslexia can be costly and if a piece of equipment is slightly out of alignment it can mean starting over from the beginning. It's a good thing I like a challenge.

John has now completed a number of projects for us including full custom cabinetry for 3 closets, bookcase, entertainment center, coat rack, redwood barn door and redwood desk staircase. John made considerable accommodations to give us exactly what we wanted and provided excellent ideas to improve on what we had imagined.

We had John bid a custom cabinet for the dining room in our new home. After speaking with three cabinet makers and receiving price quotes, we felt John had the right skills and experience for our project. John has now completed the work and we couldn't be more happy with the end result. John is a true craftsman and someone we will hire for our next project.

John made me 4 new kitchen cabinet doors with glass inserts. Very nice clean professional work. He always responded to my emails in a timely manner and his prices were very reasonable. I was very happy with the end result. John was a pleasure to work with.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I stay on top of new materials. hardware and equipment. There are new products, it seems, almost every day.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Originally from NY I worked for cabinetmakers over the summer to pay for school. After about 3 years I decided I liked woodworking better than physics so I dropped out 13 credits short of my degree. My parents went ballistic but it was the best decision I ever made.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I'm not sure there's anything common in this business Over the years I've done everything from jewelry boxes to jewelry stores including log homes, boats and timber framing but these days I stick to cabinetry, furniture and trim. Lately I've been doing kitchen refinishes and small built ins that are either media centers or wet/dry bars. I've also been getting quite a few one of a kind desks and dressers. About 4 months ago it was kitchen remodels and bath cabinets. Before that it was saloons. This business seems to run in streaks and I've never been able to figure out why.
