Cabinets and built-ins, built by the crew who installs them.
Jim Cooper has been in the trade 48 years. He still measures every job, sketches it, and shows up with Steffen and Jonah. No day labor from the big-box lot.
- Featured on Magnolia Network
- Shop-built in Youngsville
- Jim on every job
What we build
Cabinets, built-ins, and the finish work around them
Built-ins, kitchens, and bath work lead the list. Call anyway. Jim takes every call and sorts it.

The work is the proof
Real kitchens and built-ins. More photos, including portraits of Steffen and Jonah, are still coming from the shop.

How it works
Visit, sketch, approve, install
1
Tell us about the project
A few sentences and a photo of the space. Or call. Jim reads every request himself.
2
He comes out and sketches it
On-site measure, a drawing you can see, and a written quote. Nothing starts until you approve it.
3
The crew builds and installs
Shop time in Youngsville, then Jim and the crew install it. Every job runs on its own clock.
Why homeowners call Jim
A named crew, not a rotating crew
Jim Cooper quotes the job and works it. Steffen Schmitt runs the shop and the cabinet line. Jonah Wright runs the site. You will see the same people from the first visit to the last piece of trim.
That is the point of this shop: 48 years of trade time, pointed at cabinets and built-ins, with a crew that lives in Youngsville and Rolesville.
