Jim's Custom Woodworking is committed to providing the highest quality craftsmanship at the fairest possible price. We specialize in designing and building custom cabinetry for kitchens, baths, utility rooms, basements, and more. 

All of our cabinetry is built with real plywood boxes (not particle board), with dovetail drawers and under mount concealed soft-closed slides.  We also perform complete kitchen, bath and basement remodels, as well as custom trim work.

### All 4 reviews

**★★ — Deborah Korb, May 2019**

> We did not receive the custom bathroom vanity we requested. Jim agreed to correct the problem, but several months later (the cabinet was originally installed last November), the work has still not been done and he is not answering my texts or returning my phone calls. Very unprofessional.
>
> The photo showing the open shelving was what was requested. The other photo shows what Jim installed.

**★★★★★ — Joe Shostak, June 2017**

> I have been working with Jim's Custom Woodworking for over 10 years.  Their quality is superior and they customize to anything.  Very creative and helpful in designing.  Always gets the job done on time.

**★★★★★ — Tim G., June 2017**

> Jim and I work on several projects a year together and he is always great to work with. I can show him a picture of what I want and he will do it exactly, which makes things a lot easier. He always does what I need and is really easy to work with.

**★★★★★ — Dianne Mc, April 2017**

> Jim has worked with me to remodel two kitchens and five bathrooms in two homes....you can't have a better review than that.  Thanks Jim for being a true professional...working to design beautiful cabinetry...that incorporated my ideas with his.  You no longer have to design your kitchen and bathrooms around standard size cabinets...because Jim builds cabinets to fit your space.
