Around age 10, I would head out to our family barn where there were plenty of dust ridden scraps of construction lumber laying around. My father was a carpenter and he had the old barn equipped with a 220 volt table saw, clamps, hand saws and plenty of nails. Being curious of how to cut the scrap on the table saw and assemble various 24's and plywood, it kept me busy for hours in the summer.
This is a before picture of a focal point wall with potential. We see these a lot and enjoy building built ins to look like they have been there all along. This unit was designed for the homeowners specific needs for a home office. Equipped with lateral file drawers, plenty of hidden storage and a media cabinet to house the majority of entertainment components.

Chris came out to help us design some built in bookcases on both sides of a fireplace plus a built in-bar in our newly remodeled family room. He spent time explaining our options and then thoroughly took measurements. He returned with sketches and after we made some minor modifications he measured everything again. When he returned with Lucas to install everything it all fit as planned and looks great. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with the professionalism and craftsmanship of C A Woodworking.

We started our journey to remodel our kitchen in the fall of 2020. We had a basic idea of style, wood, finish and layout. We did our due diligence researching different kitchen cabinet companies and then met with Chris. We were very satified with our meeting and later asked Chris to start the process. Chris and Lucas have been wonderful to work with and always pleasurable. The pandemic slowed down our journey but we finally installed the new kitchen cabinets in May 2021. We are extremely pleased and excited about our new kitchen. We did some major renovations to enhance the process while the cabinets

Chris and his team made my dream office and mudroom come true. Chris listen to all my ideas and review my sketches and turn them into amazing and practical pieces of art (see pictures). They were nice and respectful. They finished the work on schedule and budget. We will definitely hire them for our next custom woodwork house project.

Chris and his crew produced a custom cherry double vanity and a sizeable cherry built-in closet for our master bath. As a hobbyist woodworker myself, I can attest to the outstanding craftsmanship of his work. From the wood selection, grain orientation, perfect fit of every drawer, the dovetailed joints and a drop-dead gorgeous job with the finish, these are superb examples of what custom cabinetry should be. Chris was fun to work with and everything was done well before our deadline with no drama. Thanks Chris! Greg, Winfield IL

Our laundry room was no longer functional for our family. We had loose tiles, poor lighting and lack of space for coats, backpacks, etc. When my husband and I first talked about updating this room, I had spent quite a bit of time on Pinterest researching lockers, white cabinetry, countertops, flooring and lighting. We had our vision for the room, however, we needed the right company to pull it all together. I had heard great things about Chris from a neighbor and after seeing his work firsthand, we knew we wanted to work with him and his company to transform the space. Chris and both his immediate

Chris and his team did a wonderful job on our custom fireplace surround built-ins. Not only are the built-ins beautiful, but Chris made the entire process great. He came with ideas and helped talk us through the entire project. Chris’s customer service is outstanding, it made us really comfortable to do business with him. We are already recommending him to others and we are planning to have him back for future projects.

Our den needed built in cabinets to maximize our storage. After meeting with Chris, we came up with a great design to do just that. We LOVE the beautiful hickory cabinets that Chris and his team built and installed. Their workmanship is outstanding - attending to every detail! Thanks again Chris and team - we hope to work with you again in the future.

We hired Chris to convert our kitchen desk area into a dry bar. The project turned out perfect and we couldn't be happier. Of course his craftsmanship was outstanding, but what I liked most is Chris made time for my project and there was never a lack of communication. These things were lacking from other contractors before I was referred to Chris. If I ever require his services again, CA Custom Woodworking would be my first call.
