Custom Cabinet Makers in Shepherdstown

“We had a 5-star experience with District Cabinetry (also known as District Custom Woodworks)! It started with the careful and thoughtful consideration of our needs and preferences in discussions with owner Benton Chrea. He asked great questions and listened carefully to our answers! He came up with a preliminary design that we modified with his help into its final form. We were so pleased in the planning stage for the initial project caused us to add 2 other projects for other rooms. In the end, he did a huge built-in for the study, another large one for the master bedroom, and transformed a very complicated master closet footprint into a design that maximized every bit of space available. He personally visited the house twice to ensure good measurements and to be sure that we all visualized the same end product. Benton will tell you that I have a lot of construction experience (as a developer and builder), and I quizzed him on technical details of the design that he was unused to from customers. Let us just say that we were at the same time discriminating and exacting and he had excellent answers to all of my concerns. The project was finished on time (actually, a little earlier than originally planned) and was finished exactly on budget. Frankly, in the beginning, I thought the proposed charges were kind of high, but we had seen some of his work and his showroom and had developed faith in him, his product and team. The final product is beautiful, met all our design and quality goals, and is clearly engineered and manufactured down to the millimeter. His installation team was fantastic! They spent the better part of 3 days installing and tweaking everything, making sure we understood how to take out the drawers (a little tricky, as they are fancy, really nice, European hardware), etc. The installers were friendly, careful, respectful of our home and were clearly focused on achieving a quality result and pleasing us. So, in the end, my concerns over price were entirely unfounded, because the time invested in creating the design, the quality of the actual product and the care and professionalism of the installers proved to me that my wife was right – we really should pick District Cabinetry for our project! We unhesitatingly endorse Benton and District Cabinetry! We love and use our 3 built-ins every day and appreciate their work (and our investment) every time we use it! We just finished building a pretty complex home and this vendor is at the top of our list in every respect. Our biggest regret in our new home is that we had to buy our kitchen from our builder, Toll Brothers. We would have much preferred to spend that budget at District Cabinetry to get a unique and custom kitchen adapted precisely to our tastes and needs, where our smaller projects tell us that they would have excelled! Please don’t think that I am a gushing kind of person. Neither of us are. We are simply that pleased! This is easily some of the best money we ever spent on any of our homes! If we can refer District Cabinetry to anyone, we will certainly do so. If we can use them again, we would not hesitate. In today’s world, getting what you paid for is a challenge. We got what we paid for in product and in service and could not be happier about it! PS I attach photos of the study built-in. It is hard to photograph the other ones, given their location.”

“Excellent experience, quality, and product. Lisa Franklin is professional and knowledgeable about her craft. She gave us many ideas that we were happy to incorporate into our design. I would recommend this company, particularly Lisa Franklin.”

“I can't say enough about Waypoint Living Spaces! We absolutely love working with the company and appreciate their product so much. As a designer, I am always trying to help my client find a perfect balance between style, respect for budget, and functional need. Waypoint allows us to design really creatively while also keeping costs within the realistic spectrum for our clients. We love working with the partner team--they are always so helpful and quick to communicate with us. Our contractors love installing the product and our clients have always been happy with the final result. We look forward to a long future with this company and couldn't recommend them more!”

“My experience with Gerry Hurley couldn't have been better. I was hoping for a serviceable bookshelf. Instead, I was given a unique and wonderful work of art which, besides fulfilling all my practical requirements, has become the aesthetic centerpiece of my living-room. Gerry is an old school craftsman with a thoroughly modern flair for design. He's fun, he's conscientious, he listens to his client, and he delivers on budget and on time. I'd give him extra stars if I could. Lynne McKelvey, NW Washington DC As an architectural photographer myself, I had the pleasure of watching Gerry design and complete two mounted bookshelves for our apartment. He is thorough, beginning with an extensive consultation on what we wanted, and how it would fit into our existing decor. His completed work shows that he is true craftsman who take great pride in his work. I would certainly recommend him highly to any client seeking custom-made projects for the home or office.

“I had book case/cabinet designed and built by Jed Dinger Company. The cabinet was built from solid wood and plywood arch that had faux finished to make it look like rust steel. The cabinet has thick glass shelves holding by steel cables. His work is an art piece that compliments the arch roof line. Jed is a designer and also cabinet builders so he understand how wood can be made. Above all he is a perfectionist so this says it all about his project!”

“We contracted Terry to build a cabinet/media area for us. He took our design and with very few modifications was able to produce our design. From initial visit to finish we were impressed with the time, effort and first class workmanship put into this. Every step was accounted for and our installed cabinet was finished on time and budget. We look forward to working with Terry again. Highly recommend Terry to all.”

“Zen Cabinetry is an outstanding organization that delivered on their promise to provide us with both a quality kitchen and bathroom make over. The remodeling crew was efficient, courteous and highly skilled. Frank Wang, the overall project manager paid close attention to every detail and was flexible as needed. Would highly recommend them.

“Jon is a master craftsman with impeccable attention to detail. He created a wall of built-ins in our family room. He was a great listener and took all our functional requirements and aesthetic preferences into account at the start of the project. He created detailed plans to confirm we were aligned. He did all the measuring, woodworking, installation, staining, and painting himself. And the built-ins he created are stunning. He added small, detail touches which make them a truly exceptional, one of a kind piece.”

“We hired MacAnson Construction to design and custom build bookshelves for our family room. The price, product, and customer service have all been top notch. We are beyond pleased with the final product. I will be recommending Dennis to friends and am already working with him on our next house project. Thanks Dennis!”

“In all our years of having work done on our home, we never had a more pleasant experience. From design to execution, Eric Smith and his team were the consummate professionals. The team always ensured perfection when it came to their work and were a pleasure to work with them on planning and execution of the project. Eric and team met deadlines, stayed within budget, and worked consistently to ensure that as customers we were satisfied. A wonderful experience over the course of about two months in building an addition to our home.”
