Welcome to the world of Charles Shafer Restorations.  We're a totally unique type of building and woodworking company, in that we  do everything from totally invisible restorations of antique houses, to jewel-like additions to newer houses, to wild, one-off cabinetry and furniture, as well as esoteric audio installations and cabinetry. You may notice the first photos of the site aren't of some idiotically expensive and huge home.  One's a piece of custom furniture for a collector of rare musical instruments. Impossibly thin top, just like on violin or guitar.

                                                                                      Here's an odd, but fun cabinet door front with unique characteristics. The wood's a unique piece of koa.























One's a custom staircase and interior, site-built, for a "fake" old barn.
Here's  a small addition, and complete restoration to a mid-1700's house.  Can you tell what's new and what's old? 





To us, this is our dream project;  a restrained  exterior, really unique interior woodwork and cabinetry, and a total over-all feel that doesn't scream how much money you have, but how much taste you have. If size matters, find someone else. If quality matters, we're the ones for you. Please enjoy browsing the pages to get an idea of the sort of things we do; we guarantee they're not like anyone else.
