My woodwork shop is in Maryland, NY just above the Catskill Mountains between Oneonta and Cooperstown. The craftsmen who work with me have the knowledge, skills and attention to detail required for building the best, most durable furniture in any style. That’s why we use solid wood construction and traditional joinery, but we also use veneered plywood panels for certain cabinets because we know when that’s better than solid wood. Custom work can require non-traditional materials and innovative solutions, but we also have access to the best of modern hardware to create unique, convenient cabinetry that will last generations. I offer Design and Build services, but I also work with professional Remodelers and Designers to ensure our projects are beautiful, useful, and considerate of your home. Adam Scudder’s Custom Woodwork can be a feature in your home with elaborate Kitchen Cabinetry and thoughtfully planned countertops exactly where you need. Keep your utensils, pots and pans discreetly tucked behind solid wood doors and within dovetailed maple drawers. Custom Cabinetry can be creatively designed for the most storage, taking advantage of a huge variety of modern hardware available for your convenience in a new kitchen. Cabinetry and Millwork are an investment in your home’s future. We can build anything from Kitchen Cabinetry to an Office Desk, from Bookcases to Vanities, complete Bedroom Furniture sets and even that custom Staircase. For your home office and library, you want the best moldings and cabinetry; a work environment perfectly suited for your needs. Bedroom closets can be customized with space-saving, utilitarian cabinetry. Easy access to your favorites with shelves, drawers, trays, specialty racks, the options are there! Entertainment centers, Vanities, even laundry rooms can be customized! ### Services Provided - Carpentry - Custom Built-ins - Finish Carpentry - Custom Home Bars - Custom Cabinets - Cabinet Installation - Custom Exterior Doors - Custom Furniture - Custom Bookcases - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Custom Pantries - Custom Shelving - Cabinet Refacing - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Interior Doors - Custom Molding - Vanity Installation - Custom Storage - Custom Cabinet Doors - Custom Folding Doors - Custom Millwork - Custom Murphy Beds - Custom Framing - Wood Finishing - Custom Beds - Custom Pool Tables - Trellis Construction - Wood Floor Repair - Cabinet Sales - Closet Design - Custom Doors - Custom Walk-in Closets - Pantry Design - Wood Floor Refinishing - Wood Floor Staining - Wood Flooring Installation - Wood Flooring Sales ### Areas Served - Oneonta - Delhi - Davenport - Milford - Hartwick - Laurens - West End - Worcester - Cooperstown - Maryland - Schenevus - Davenport Center - Portlandville - Westford - Colliersville - East Meredith ### Typical Job Cost Small Projects such as Humidors to large scale cabinetry (Kitchens, Libraries, etc.) ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Adam Scudder Woodworking | | Address | Maryland, New York 12116, United States | | Phone | (607) 434-8336 | | Website | https://scudderwoodwork.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 34 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Adam Scudder Woodworking](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/woodworkers-and-carpenters/adam-scudder-woodworking-pfvwus-pf~26387599) - **Website:** https://scudderwoodwork.com/ - **Phone:** (607) 434-8336 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Carpentry AOS, Delhi, NY.

Most recently, an 18' built in cabinet in white oak with reeded door fronts. He is a true master of his craft, and a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend him and his team enough! **★★★★★ — HU-149949841, June 2023** > Adam did an amazing job on our built in cabinets and shelves. Not only did he add a custom wine rack and liquor cabinet he listened to everything we wanted when discussing the job! Adam finished the job so fast and really put all of the time and effort into it. We absolutely LOVE them and if we ever need another job done- Adam will be our first call. **★★★★★ — kparanya, May 2022** > Adam Scudder is a very talented woodworker! He custom made window frames and storm windows for new stained glass windows that we had built for our church. It was a tricky job because he had to build frames that fit into existing irregular windows and they also had to fit stained glass that was pieced out of state and brought to Oneonta. He is very honest and charged us only for his time and materials which turned out to be even lower than his initial quote. He communicates well and is great to work with! **★★★★★ — HU-167711137, Feb. 2022** > Adam was very professional and his worked on as great. The cabinets he made for us were of good quality. **★★★★★ — Kimberly, Feb. 2022** > All I can say is that Adam is a true craftsman. We worked with him last year to create our kitchen cabinets and loved his work and attention to detail so much that we knew we wanted him to help us with any future home projects. So when we needed a specific sized credenza for our media center, we knew he was the guy. We gave him a general idea of what we wanted and he was able to elevate the design and create a truly beautiful piece that was more than what we could have hoped for. Aside from his artistry, he is also a really good communicator which made the process very easy. Im sure we’ll be back with another project soon! **★★★★★ — pbmcdonough, June 2021** > Adam has been a pleasure to deal with. We couldn't be happier with our kitchen renovation. His craftsmanship is top notch, and his knowledge and passion were evident throughout the process. He was very responsive and was able to alleviate any questions/concerns we had from design to completion. We look forward to working with Adam again on future projects **Comment from Adam Scudder Woodworking:** > Thanks Pat, I had a great time working on your cabinetry and I truly appreciate the opportunity! **★★★★★ — May Bartlett, June 2021** > Adam did an amazing job with our mudroom cabinets. He was great at communicating specifics of the project, and the custom unit he designed for us looked great and fit in well with the standard cabinets he also installed. His final invoice even came in significantly under the initial estimate. **Comment from Adam Scudder Woodworking:** > May it was a pleasure working for you, thank you for inviting us to work at your home! **★★★★★ — Restless Works, Jan. 2021** > Adam and his team are great. My wife and worked with Adam to install our new wood flooring, cabinetry, and millwork. Adam was very attentive to our finish specifications and the details with installing the floor in the best conditions. We designed the cabinets ourselves, and Adam was helpful in providing shop drawings for our approval and help us get the right finish that we wanted. His attention to detail, timeliness, and professionalism was greatly appreciated. Hope we can work with him again soon! **Comment from Adam Scudder Woodworking:** > We had a great time working with you too Greg! Thank you for the opportunity! I am certainly looking forward to future projects! **★★★★★ — Kayla Alaine, Jan. 2021** > We had a Maple island painted black made by Adam. And he did a wonderful job, it fits our kitchen perfectly. He sent updates throughout the project. And took time to install the island to our specific dimensions, so as not to limit walking space. We would recommend Adam for any of your upcoming woodworking projects. **Comment from Adam Scudder Woodworking:** > Kayla thank you very much for the kind words! I was very glad to be able to do this project for you! **★★★★★ — Paul and Martha Clarvoe, Jan. 2020** > Adam and crew installed an ash floor in the dining area of a cafe we are renovating in Hartwick. Excellent communication, responsive, on time, efficient and a beautiful result. Great attention to detail. We would recommend him without hesitation **Comment from Adam Scudder Woodworking:** > Thanks very much for the opportunity! I’m looking forward to the next step- sanding flat and smooth and finishing! **★★★★★ — Derrick Wilcox, Jan. 2020** > Adam built a couple beautiful mirrors to add to the master bath. They look great and we look forward to the next project with him soon. **★★★★★ — HU-94931648, Dec. 2019** > My family and I bought a new home that needed the old carpets removed and new flooring added above the subfloor. Adam Scudder Woodworking came highly recommended to us from my family and friends who have worked with and knew him and his work, so we chose from the get-go to have him complete our job. We consulted with Mr. Scudder and he greatly helped us to decide what type of hardwood floor we wanted. We chose varied width hickory, unstained, with an oil finish. There was a limited time frame available for the install but he was able to squeeze us in his busy schedule and completed the job in less than the estimated time. Him and his crew were on time each day and professional, Adam Scudder Woodworking found great materials for my floor that has been holding up incredibly well to the abuse of two dogs, a young child, and two adults. I recommend Adam Scudder Woodworking to everyone I know as the best of best in flooring installers. ## Selected projects - [Custom Bathroom Vanity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-bathroom-vanity-pj-vj~6625808) - Location: Franklin, NY - Photos: 1 - [Traditional Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-farmhouse-pj-vj~5721280) - Location: Andes, NY - Photos: 4 - Description: Shaker style cabinetry - [Treadwell Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/treadwell-kitchen-pj-vj~1603011) - Location: Treadwell, NY - Photos: 4 - [Modern Walnut](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-walnut-pj-vj~5721285) - Location: Unadilla, NY - Photos: 5 - Description: Modern Kitchen in Walnut flat panel - [Custom Dressing Cabinet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-dressing-cabinet-pj-vj~6625811) - Location: Franklin, NY - Photos: 2 - [Unique Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unique-kitchens-pj-vj~2238039) - Location: Cooperstown, NY - Photos: 8 - [Cherry Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-bathroom-pj-vj~5721294) - Location: Milford, NY - Photos: 4 - Description: Cherry Vanity and Linen Cupboard traditional styles.

This group has given me some excellent information as we're preparing for a fairly major renovation, so before I even post my first question, I owe many people here a 'thank you!' We're taking a pretty standard center hall colonial and attempting to expand the kitchen without increasing the overall footprint of the house. The trick is that we're eliminating the hall :). We will have some questions in the remodeling forums as our conversations with architects and contractors progress, but for now, I want to focus on the kitchen. After all, the whole point is to make the kitchen bigger. We are a family of 5. We like to cook and entertain but haven't done much of the latter (outside of holidays) because the current kitchen is horrible. And when we do cook, these days we emphasize the outdoor cooking appliances (i.e. grill and smoker) because, again, the current kitchen is horrible. We don't do much baking from scratch, but we \[used to\] do lots of stir fry, deep fry, and blackening. We used to make pizza from scratch (including sauce). We eat lots of chicken and fish -- we also use the crockpot (stews, etc). For holidays (Rosh Hashana and Passover), we typically have ~20 people over, and we make turkey, brisket, and more sides than we have burner space for (and we do bake for holidays). Everyone loves to gather in the kitchen where there is no room to work. Part of the idea of this renovation is to create a space where we can do more of what we love, with more people hanging around us comfortably -- either helping or not. Objectives: \* Room for 2 or more people to work comfortably... eg working on different dishes, or one cleaning dishes while one preps/serves the next course. \* Room to seat 5 or 6 for dinner in the kitchen. 7 would be fantastic (our 5 plus in-laws). \* OPEN OPEN OPEN -- The family room/kitchen area is where we spend a ton of time. \* Stay within reason -- this is part of a bigger remodeling project so we can't go crazy on everything... but we will splurge where it matters. So... with that background: Here's my rendering of what we came up with (with a jump-start from a KD) on the new floor plan: First question is ... what do you think of this basic layout? We haven't even begun to think about details like where the garbage is, where the knives go, which direction the prep sink faces, where the GD goes, etc. We thought it gave a good work area on the 'open' side of the island as well as around the cooktop and the cleanup areas. Any thoughts? Second question... cabinets. Current thinking: StarMark Cabinets, from a supplier in NJ (DirectDepot, for those in the area). It was their KD that we spent 2+ hrs with the other day. The quoted price for aproximately this layout was $20k (delivered, not installed). I don't even know how that compares to anything else, but we did like the quality and look of the StarMark. And he did some clever customizations around the oven/fridge/MW to give it a 'built-in' appearance. And note that the funky shaped piece between the sliding doors and the bay window is actually made of cabinetry, but made to look like furniture - we think of it as almost a visual 'tie-in' between the family room and the kitchen as well as great storage. Again -- the general question is: what do you think? And more specifically, how does the pricing that we've been quoted seem? Current thinking on the rest: Really Good Rangetop -- possibly the Capital Cullinarian 36' 6-burner. This is the place I'm happy to splurge. 42' wall hood, vented through the garage. Very Good Double Wall Oven -- KA Architect, GE Profile, and Kenmore Elite top the list. Acceptable MW -- Countertop style on an eye-level shelf above a counter. Very Quiet and Roomy Dishwasher -- Bosch, perhaps. Very little research here. Refrigerator: GE Profile French Door Stainless, already purchased when the old one died. Any tips or suggestions on what else we should be thinking would be greatly appreciated. (I did read the 'first timer' posting and found it quite useful, which is why this post is so long!) Thanks in advance for your time and assistance. ~~Steve Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchen Floor Plan A: Hi, if you found a local cabinetmaker they could offer you plenty of options for your cabinetry storage! Pricing should be competitive with the high end well-known manufacturers. Also, as a hands on person, a cabinet maker would have more real world knowledge to share with you as you go through your renovation! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
