Hey! We are Michael & Candela, partners at VIGA.
We take on custom woodworking projects — kitchen and bath cabinetry, bookcases, shelving, built‑ins, storage upgrades, and custom furniture. We also offer interior design solutions to help create spaces that feel functional, balanced, and uniquely yours. If you need something built cleanly, built well, and built to fit your space, we are here to make it happen.
We keep things simple: fair pricing, fast communication, and reliable turnaround. Most clients come to us because they want a storage problem solved. We measure, build, and install exactly what you need.
Our design philosophy is simple: thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and practical solutions that improve the way you live every day.
Big or small, modern or traditional — we make the process easy and the results solid.
Let’s get your project taken care of.

Mike is outstanding. He was able to study a picture that I had for a shelf/cabinet system as inspiration - and he outdid himself translating it into a beautiful design. What sets him apart is his eye for creativity, precision and use of technology. Few people who can make your aesthetic vision for furniture come to life. He does it in a collaborative manner and great professionalism!!!

Quality workmanship - Great Value!
I am so pleased that I hired VIGA to build out my bookcases and replace my kitchen butcher block countertop! From the moment I met Michael, I KNEW it was going to be a great experience. He took the time to understand what I wanted/needed and worked closely with me to ensure that the final products would be to my liking. It was truly a collaborative effort. I was given a timeline for completion and Michael met all deadlines. Once the project started, I was kept updated with regular emails and pictures of his progress. I don’t want to ‘gush’, but this was one of the best experiences I’ve had with a vendor…ever! Michael is personable, professional, patient and a true craftsman! I would not hesitate to recommend VIGA or use them again if/when the occasion arises.

Thank you, Bernadette, for the opportunity to work on your custom bookcase and countertop project. It was truly a pleasure collaborating with you from start to finish. Your clear vision and thoughtful input made the design process both smooth and inspiring. I especially appreciated the care you put into every detail—from selecting the wood species to choosing the perfect stain color.
Your hospitality and warmth made each visit enjoyable (and the coffee was fantastic!).
Clients like you make this work incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful for the trust you placed in me to bring your ideas to life.
I hope you enjoy your new space for many years to come!
Warm regards,
Michael

We had the best experience with VIGA! I had a few reference photos for a shutter design and thats about it. From our first meeting, my expectations were blown out of the water! The care and intention that goes into Micheal’s work can’t be found anywhere else. We already have another project in mind for VIGA!

Thank you so much, Jaycina! It was a real pleasure bringing your vision for the custom window shutter to life. Your clear ideas and collaborative spirit made the entire process—from design to installation—a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Choosing the right wood species and stain to match your existing finishes was a thoughtful part of the journey, and I truly believe that kind of collaboration is the key to great project outcomes. I’m grateful for the opportunity and would be happy to work with you again anytime!
