Our Process
How We Work
At Feicht & Co., custom means exactly that. Every project begins with your space, your ideas, and what you need the finished piece to do. From there, it is designed and handcrafted for that purpose alone.
Custom Woodworking Built Around Your Space, Style, and Ideas
From kitchen cabinetry and built-ins to fine furniture and one-of-a-kind commissions, each piece is designed, built, and finished in our Galena workshop. Because no two projects are alike, timelines vary. Most are completed in 8–12 weeks, and we’ll give you a clear timeframe before any work begins.
STEP 1
Share Your Concept Ideas
You don’t need every detail decided before reaching out. Some clients arrive with inspiration photos or a Pinterest board. Others start with a favorite wood species, a paint color, a room that has never quite worked, or simply an idea they can’t stop thinking about.
We begin by listening. We want to know how the space will be used, what matters most to you, and how you want it to feel. Then we work through the details together, including dimensions, storage, style, finishes, and hardware, so the finished piece looks as though it has always belonged in your home.
STEP 2
Visit Our Shop in Galena
Feicht & Co. is a family business, and every piece is built on our own property. We invite you to see it for yourself. Walk through the shop, see the equipment and joinery behind your project, run your hand across finished samples, and ask every question you have.
Bring the whole family. While we talk through your project, your kids are welcome to meet the farm animals and ask questions of their own. We believe the best work comes from knowing the people we build for.
STEP 3
Refine Design & Measurement
Once you’ve chosen to move forward, we turn your concept into a precise, buildable design. Our team visits your home to take exact measurements and work through every detail on site: drawer configuration, shelving, finish direction, hardware, and specialty storage.
We will also prepare a 3D rendering, so you can see the scale, proportions, and overall look of your piece in your space before a single board is cut. This is the time to adjust and refine. Nothing moves to the shop until we are all confident that every detail is right.
STEP 4
Build Your Handcrafted Project
With the design finalized, your project comes to life.
We source materials, finishes, and hardware selected specifically for your piece. Then we build it by hand, with equal attention to beauty and everyday function. Whether it’s cabinetry for a busy kitchen, a wall of built-ins, a home office, or a piece of furniture meant to be passed down, every joint, edge, and surface is held to the same standard.
What began as a small home workshop has grown into a fully equipped woodworking operation. Our focus remains where it started: exceptional craftsmanship, and building exactly what you envisioned.
Start Planning Your Project
Every home has a space that has never quite worked the way it should. Custom cabinetry and woodworking can change that. It can add storage where you need it, fit the way you live, and bring craftsmanship you won’t find in any store, making it all look like that was how it was meant to be from the beginning.
Share your ideas with us, and we’ll help turn them into a space made for your home.
