Cabinets, Carpenters and our Shop
After the financial melt down of 2008 our company scrambled to stay afloat. Even with 30 years as a carpenter and woodworker I still could not find enough work to keep the 11 full time employees busy, try as I did. Slowly we scaled back until there were three of us, 2 carpenters and a helper. People just didn’t have access to the funds they once did to improve their homes.
One thing was still working, albeit barely was the shop I had built for custom cabinetry, mouldings, woodwork, and refinishing. At 1600 square feet it is a model of efficiency for just about any size job we take on. All of the tools are paid for ( and there are many) and the space is working. What once was a small part of our business has now become a place where other general contractors, and interior decorators call to have work done for their clients. I’m glad I built it. Our overhead is minimal so we can compete with anyone on Long Island and NYC.
