JD Custom Carpentry

The shop on 1805 Jerome Avenue turns rough stock into kitchen maps that feel like schematics. Their focus is less about off-the-shelf numbers and more about the edge where a ¾-inch dado cleans up the run of trim. They’ve stitched together corner bead, crown, and cove until the planes stop seeing seams; a kind of join-only therapy in tongue & groove. Built-ins that trace the exact slope of a stair carriage end up square-on at the landing. Faced or unstained, each run of drawer boxes carries a grain that angles away from the hinge side. Block-front doors slide shut with an audio profile that announces itself as quiet.

Walk past the auto shop and then the Persian rug store; you’ll spot them tucked into the concrete freight door that reads 1805. Like cabinetry itself, the block starts square and grows into disk-shaped rosettes or cathedral aprons—patterns that develop only after the piece decides the layout. Oval cutouts for under-cabinet lighting show no gap where the blade entered; the continuity insists the gouge never happened. A 10-inch base cabinet gains a 1¾-inch toe without losing floor grip, and the front frame stays flush so the toe kick stays a shadow instead of a ledge.

French cleat hardware supports sys­tems that slide out on ¾-full-extension slides; the drawer rides five separate Teflon wheels instead of three dadoed strips. Crown profiles pistol-whip miters so the arch doesn’t read like a fold. They drill barrel hinges at 32-degree swing, accepting the odd high-counter stool that requires clearance inside the cabinetry shell without breaking the film of varnish.
