ABOUT WORK SHOP COLORADO

Our Woodshop, located in northwest Denver, is where we build custom cabinetry, millwork, and finish carpentry for a wide range of clients. We produce all cabinetry for Work Shop Colorado's own luxury custom homes and designer-curated communities, for outside builders and general contractors, and for direct clients who come to us for one-of-a-kind pieces. That mix is what makes the shop a great place to work. On any given week you might be drafting for a production community, developing designs for a one-off statement piece in a custom home, and preparing submittal drawings for an outside builder's project — all in the same shop, with the same team. The variety keeps the work interesting and exposes our design team to a broader range of techniques, materials, and project types than a typical cabinet shop. We take pride in doing it right. The cabinetry, built-ins, and custom pieces leaving our shop go into homes families will live with for generations, and we treat every job — ours or someone else's — that way.
