Why Forsell Wood Company?
Nothing here is one-size-fits-all
Every project is made specifically for your space, needs, and style. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Forsell Wood Company specializes in custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, built-ins, and one-of-a-kind woodwork. From design and fabrication to finishing and installation, we build each project with an emphasis on craftsmanship, quality, and a precise fit.
Personal service
As a small, hands-on company, you work directly with the person building your project. That means clear communication, attention to detail, and a personal investment in the finished product.
Why a small shop
What you get here
There is a real difference between a shop this size and a showroom, a box store or a furniture chain. It shows up in three places.
-
Built for your home. Not picked from a catalog
There’s a difference between choosing cabinets that fit your space and having something built specifically for it. Forsell Wood Company provides truly custom cabinetry, millwork, built-ins, and furniture designed around your home, your needs, and your style. Instead of working within the limitations of predetermined cabinet sizes, product lines, or factory options, each project is approached individually and built for the space where it belongs.
-
Work directly with the craftsman
At Forsell Wood Company, you aren’t passed from a salesperson to a designer, then to a production department, and finally to an installer who has never seen your project before. You work directly with the craftsman responsible for bringing your project to life. Questions don’t have to travel through several departments, and important details aren’t lost between the showroom and the shop.
-
Truly custom means truly custom
Your home wasn’t built from a catalog. Your cabinetry doesn’t have to be either. Unusual dimensions, awkward corners, existing woodwork, alcoves, under-stair spaces, special storage requirements, distinctive molding profiles, unique hardware, and one-of-a-kind ideas are exactly where custom woodworking shines.
