The Difference
Why Bay Area Homeowners
Choose Us
Unmatched Expertise
With 25+ years serving the Bay Area, we've mastered the intersection of traditional joinery and modern design. Our craftsmen average 15 years of hands-on experience — from dovetail joinery to large-scale commercial millwork.
Premium Materials Only
We work exclusively with sustainably certified hardwoods — American black walnut, white oak, maple, cherry, and exotic species. Every board is hand-selected for grain, figure, and structural integrity before entering our shop.
Design-Forward Thinking
Our team partners with prominent designers, architects, and general contractors to guide every decision — from species and stain to hardware and finish details. We use 3D visualization so you see the final result before a single board is cut.
Full Project Management
From initial consultation through final installation, your dedicated project coordinator keeps you informed at every milestone. No surprises on timeline or budget — complete transparency from day one.
Client Stories
What Our Clients Say
★★★★★"Mariusz is a perfectionist and pays attention to detail. He made sure that each cabinet was leveled and straight, and protected the counters and floors so that his tools wouldn't scratch any surfaces. He even thought ahead to do all the loud work first because he knew I had toddlers in the house. He is extremely clean — I usually have to clean up after contractors, but Mariusz brought his own vacuum and left my kitchen cleaner than when he arrived. I'll be hiring Custom Woodworks again for Phase 2 of my remodel."
★★★★★"Mariusz is honest and trustworthy. His workmanship is excellent and beautiful. He pays attention to details and follows up with you to make sure things are done accordingly. He's super friendly and always on time. You can trust him to give you a fair price and complete the job to your satisfaction. He's your man when it comes to projects involved with wood."
★★★★★"I wish I had known them a few years ago when I worked on my first house as I am a contractor myself. The quality of finish is outstanding, with attention to details way above any standards set by other companies in the whole Bay Area. They went above and beyond to make sure I get exactly what I need and desire. If anyone ever wants to hire a contractor that makes and designs custom-made furniture, this is the place to call."
