HOME - Berkeley Woodworks

History and Relationship

Constantine has been a well-respected member of his Berkeley artistic community; handcrafting custom furniture and cabinetry at his local woodshop for over 40 years! He has developed wonderful relationships with his customers, many returning multiple times to have him create additional personalized projects.

Collaboration

Constantine begins the collaboration process by meeting with customers at their homes, and listening carefully to their ideas and requirements. Their input is brought into each phase of the designing process. Customers are especially excited when they are shown the boards of wood that he has carefully selected for color, durability, and the pattern of the grain.

Design and Functionality

During the finalization of the design, Constantine will present his plans, including making models or mapping out designs in his clients’ houses, to make sure his pieces satisfy their vision of beauty and functionality.

"His uncanny ability to make the best use of the space available, surprising customers with more room for storage than was originally suggested by their design team."

Trust and Longevity

Constantine is there for his customers from the initial design phase through the final installation and beyond. His customers know they can trust him to follow up on any questions or new circumstances that may arise. Their hand-crafted pieces have been built to endure and to someday be passed down through the family.

"These are sources of pride and satisfaction to us."

BIG NEWS!

My Shop Is Closing!

Dear Customers,

After 45 wonderful years designing and building custom furniture and cabinets in Berkeley at 2551 San Pablo Avenue, the building has been sold and my shop has closed!

I’m semi-retiring and will be working from my home. I plan to continue accepting some smaller projects in the fall and will be available for any questions or updates that you would like to share.

You can still reach me here, at my website: berkeleywoodworks.com and by email: contact@berkeleywoodworks.com I am thankful for all the years of friendship and support I have received from the Berkeley and Bay Area communities, and I hope to stay in touch!

Sincerely,
