Rooted In Cottage Country.
Custom kitchens, millwork, and finished carpentry for water access cottages and homes across Muskoka, Parry Sound, and Georgian Bay.
The work
Built with precision.
We build cabinetry and finish carpentry to order. No catalogue, no stock boxes, nothing ordered in from a factory and touched up on site.
Everything is drawn for the room it goes into and installed by the same people who built it. No shortcuts, no exceptions, no detail left to chance.
We take on a small number of projects a year. That is deliberate. It is the only way the precision stays where it should be.

Welcome to Shoal - Cabinets + Carpentry
A letter from the founder.
I have been working in this industry for over twenty years, and my passion for carpentry started way back when I was still in high school. I had the privilege of learning alongside some of the best finish carpenters going, on high end resort homes, hotels and restaurants, and that is the standard I have built to ever since.
Whether it is pulling on a pair of waders to hit the water for some fall fishing, or waking up to a fresh dump of snow and getting the sled out, the view off the end of the dock never gets old. Getting to work on beautiful homes and cottages out here, for great clients, has been a rewarding thing to do for a living.
Being surrounded by the material I work with in the Cottage Country, and living so close to the material I work with each day, gives me a real appreciation for the finish carpentry & custom cabinetry. I take a great deal of care displaying each piece's natural beauty in its final resting place. There is nothing else I would rather be doing.

Testimonials
In their words.
Clients and the builders Dave works alongside, on how the work went.
We love our new kitchen! Dave helped us plan the design layout and then built and installed great quality, beautiful cabinets. We are so impressed we have had Dave build custom drawers for our new walk-in closet.
Dave's easily one of the most skilled cabinetry and finish carpenters I've had the opportunity to work with in my 23 years in the business. I'm always impressed with the depth and experience he brings to the project. I'm looking forward to many more!!
Dave's attention to detail, and his ability to plan a space for its maximum function and design is exceptional. From designing kitchen cabinets, to intricate layout features such as wood beams and finishing trims, He transforms your home from basic to custom. Working with Dave was a pleasure.
Dave has completed several projects for me on my properties. He was hired to do all of the interior finish carpentry and custom cabinetry in the home. The beautifully designed kitchen cabinets, wood ceiling, solid wood floors, and all interior doors and trim work are all top notch in quality and detailing. He attends to each project with care and attention, the work is completed on time and within budget. I would not hesitate in hiring Dave for any custom project and highly recommend him.
Dave is a true professional and artisan. His craftsmanship is top notch and has always been on budget. Since meeting him we have had him work on five separate projects over the past few years. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product and highly recommend him!
