About Serenity Custom Woodworking

Welcome to Serenity Custom Woodworking, where your vision and our craftsmanship merge to create enduring pieces of functional art. Established in 2004, we are a family-owned and operated custom cabinet and woodworking business serving Des Moines and Central Iowa and shipping across the USA.

Our Philosophy

At Serenity Custom Woodworking, we believe that your space should be a reflection of your unique style and practical needs. Whether it’s a bespoke kitchen cabinet system or a one-of-a-kind bathroom vanity, each piece we create is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for the materials we work with. Our work is more than just woodworking—it’s a way to transform your living spaces into functional, beautiful environments that enhance your everyday life.

Our Process

Your journey with us begins with an on-site consultation, where we listen to your dreams and aspirations for your project. This collaborative process involves an in-depth discussion about your aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and budget. After the consultation, we start with the design process, iterating on the design and making changes until it aligns perfectly with your vision.

Our Expertise

Our extensive experience spans across both residential and commercial projects. Our proficiency lies in crafting custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets, built-ins, storage solutions, and other woodworking projects like trim and kitchen islands. From modern aesthetics to rustic vibes, our range of styles is as diverse as our clients’ tastes.

Our Materials

We work with a variety of materials, from real plywood to more user-friendly products. Our selection process is dictated by our clients’ budgets and design requirements. As advocates for sustainability, we’re dedicated to minimizing waste from our business and transitioning to a Water-Based finishing system, thus leaving a minimal carbon footprint.

Our Legacy

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of turning many design dreams into reality. Each project, with its unique challenges and triumphs, has made us proud and further solidified our relationships with our clients, many of whom have become good friends.

Our Guarantees

We stand by the quality of our work, offering a 1-year warranty on all our projects. We are also committed to addressing any concerns or issues beyond this period, aiming to provide a seamless customer service experience that extends beyond the completion of your project.

At Serenity Custom Woodworking, we don’t just build cabinets and furniture—we build trust, relationships, and environments that inspire serenity. Your project is not just a job for us, it’s an opportunity to bring your dreams to life.
