SA Woodwork

Shawn helped us design a full kitchen remodel for our 1927 Tudor home in SW Mpls.
We wanted to 'modernize' the kitchen without losing the charm and design of the original kitchen.
The cabinets were modern, convenient (pull-outs, fully extendable, etc), yet the design and
wood of the originals, including hardware was representative of the era the house was built.
We constantly received rave comments from friends and family.
When we moved in 2011, the kitchen pretty much sold the house.
Shawn was timely, affordable and very very involved with suggestions for design that we did not
think about. We were able to visit the shop to see work in progress.

Shawn did a great job with the wood work. He final price came in right around his initial quote. He had some creative ideas for repairing our damaged wood work. We are very pleased with the quality of his work.

Shawn listened to my ideas and asked questions to better understand the details of the project; the space, my style and budget. He showed me around his studio and offered suggestions that would give me the look I was after.
Shawn was very honest about the project timeline and completed the project on time. The install was challenging as the space was very tight and there was very little room for error. The install went very well.
Shawn will be designing a bathroom vanity for me in the next few weeks. I look forward to working with him again.

I was shown several different styles of cabinets to choose from, with options at every detail. At first, we were going to go with some pre-built cabinets, which they also install. But then settled on custom cabinetry, based on the more distinct mission style look I was after. Great selection of handles/knobs to choose from, with the company they order them thru. They were able to install them on my plaster and lathe walls, locating the studs. Extremely sturdy and heavy boxes, and hung perfectly on the walls. Everything came out level after shimming, as my house has settled a bit over 100 years. They contract out the granite, and the granite guys were very responsive and professional. Overall, the cabinets look beautiful, and match the style I was looking for perfectly. Absolutely no question they'll hold up longer than the rest of the house!
