About us

J. Kritzer Custom Cabinetry designs and builds custom cabinetry inspired by a range of styles including mid-century, arts and crafts, traditional, and transitional. Regardless of whether what you are looking for is primarily functional, decorative, or both, your piece must also be an art object that enhances the pleasure you take in your home. To ensure you get what you want, I am committed to a collaborative design process. Custom enables you to choose: style, woods and finishes, practical features (e.g., drawers), size and proportion. I invite you to view my gallery (https://jkritzercabinetry.com/gallery/) to begin to see the range of possibilities, and I look forward to working with you to create something special for your home that will be uniquely yours.

We loved working with Jeff and we’re so happy with how our built-in desk turned out! It had really strange and steep angles that Jeff had to navigate but he came up with a unique design that fits the space so well. He was reliable, responsive and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Our cat Wilma befriended him as well. Thanks Jeff!!

I wanted built-in book shelves for one wall of my condo. Jeff was very attentive to what we wanted, asked a lot of questions to make sure he understood what we wanted, and came up with a wonderful design. He kept us informed at every step of the project, and the completed book shelves look wonderful. Just what I wanted.

Jeff was phenomenal to work with! He was incredibly detail oriented, communicative, kind, helpful and created the built in cabinets that we dreamed of. We couldnâ t have asked for a better experience and will certainly use him again in the future if we have additional needs.

(This project is not exactly "cabinets" but that is the closest description offered.) Jeff designed and built a radiator cover for my 100+-year-old home built during the Prairie School era. The cover was a bit of a tricky installation because it had to fit in a space between the front door and foyer and allow space for the radiator workings. The results were so pleasing that I asked Jeff to create covers for two more radiators, in the living room. (I don't know why I waited so long to do this; the covers have enhanced our home and we receive many compliments on them.)

Had a kitchen island table with cabinets and drawers built as well as a kitchen hutch with cabinets and drawers. We designed it ourselves and he built it beautifully.

Jeff made mahogany bookcases that complement a fireplace in our home and a transitional piece to make it look built in. He did a fantastic job in design and quality

I wanted to keep an old sink and Jeff designed a base cabinet to fit the space. It was a difficult install due to the age of the home and sink, but the end product is beautiful.

Heffernan has so far built a sliding ladder bookcase and a liquor cabinet and the work has been fa tactic and indistinguishable from what came built in. I can't recommend him highly enough he is great

Jeff was a pleasure to work with. His process and design workflow was so easy to deal with and the quality of detail is outstanding. We enjoyed the first project quality so much, that we hired him again for more cabinets in our bedroom.
