AVWoodworks — Custom Cabinets and Built-Ins
A floor-to-ceiling built-in media wall in painted gray-brown, with open display shelving and a long linear fireplace across the base cabinets

Custom cabinets, built to fit your space and how you live.

Media walls, built-ins, home offices, and kitchens — designed with you and built by hand, across Jefferson County and beyond.

There are no wrong answers — not sure yet? We'll walk through it together.

Custom, not off-the-shelf


Made to measure, made by hand.

Every piece starts as an empty wall and a conversation. We build custom cabinets and built-ins — nothing pulled from a big-box shelf and squeezed to fit. That means the proportions are right, the storage matches how you actually use the room, and the finish carries through the whole run.

Thank you for the opportunity to build your cabinets. When you reach out, you're talking straight to Austin — the person who designs your project and sees it through — backed by a skilled crew that helps build and install, so even big jobs stay on schedule.

What we build

A little of everything that goes on a wall.

A hands-on custom shop where the range is wide and the work stays personal. Some of the pieces we build most:

Media walls & built-ins

Floor-to-ceiling entertainment centers and display walls — open shelving, cabinets, and linear fireplaces built in as one clean run.

Home offices & libraries

Desks, shelving, and cabinetry built into the room, styled for books and work and everything in between.

Custom kitchens

Shaker cabinets, islands, pantries, and shop-built wood range hoods — sized to your kitchen, not a catalog.

Wardrobes & storage

Tall floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, pantries, and linen built-ins with the hardware and finish you choose.

Floating shelves & nooks

Solid-wood floating shelves, coffee and beverage nooks, and tops in solid wood like oak, maple, cherry, and walnut that warm up a room.

One-of-a-kind pieces

Have something in mind that doesn't fit a category? Bring it — most of the best projects start that way.

Meet your builder

“When you reach out, you're talking straight to me — the person who designs your project and sees it through, with a crew to help build and install.”

Hi, I'm Austin. I design and build custom cabinets and built-ins out of my shop in the Birmingham area — media walls, floor-to-ceiling shelving, home offices, kitchens, and one-of-a-kind pieces made to fit your space and how you actually live. I've got a skilled crew who work alongside me on the build and install, so bigger jobs like full kitchens move at a steady, dependable pace.

There are no wrong answers. Tell me what you're picturing — or that you're not sure yet — and we'll figure out the rest together. You get the personal attention of working directly with your builder from first sketch to final walk-through, plus the hands to get it done right and on time.

How it works

Four steps, no pressure.

From the first message to the final walk-through, here's how a project usually goes.

1

Talk it through

Tell us about the space and what you're picturing. Not sure yet? That's fine — we'll help you decide.

2

Design & quote

We work out the layout, materials, and finish together, then put a clear, no-surprise quote in front of you.

3

Build in the shop

Your cabinets are built by hand in the shop, made to your measurements and your choices.

4

Install & walk-through

We set everything in place, fit it clean, and don't leave until you're happy with how it looks.

Where we work

All of Jefferson County & surrounding counties.

Based in the Birmingham, Alabama area and building throughout all of Jefferson County and the counties around it — from Jasper and Cullman up north to Smith Lake, and down to Pelham and beyond. If your town is nearby and not on the list, reach out — we likely cover it.

B2B — for other cabinet shops

Need parts made? Let's work together.

We partner with other cabinet shops — supplying custom cabinet parts and taking on shared work. Our industrial CNC turns out components to strict, repeatable tolerances, on a schedule you can plan around.

Overflow work

More on the books than your shop can finish on time? We'll take on the parts you can't get to, so you still hit your deadlines.

Short-staffed

Down a set of hands? We can fill the gap and keep your production moving without missing a beat.

Equipment down

Machine failure holding up a run? Send us the cut list and we'll produce the parts you need to stay on track.

CNC precision parts

Industrial CNC capacity for custom cabinet components held to strict tolerances — clean, consistent, and ready to install.

Whether it's a one-off run or an ongoing arrangement, send over your cut list and we'll take it from there.

For home builders & designers

Bring us your plans.

If you build homes or design spaces for your clients, we'd love to work with you. We'll take your drawings and turn them into custom cabinetry and built-ins made to your specs and finished to match the vision — dependable, on schedule, and easy to coordinate with. Reach out and let's talk through what you have in mind.
