Small business has built custom cabinets and countertops for more than 30 years

Dan Jazkowick built his cabinet-making business from the ground up.

No, seriously. He actually had the 20,000 square foot building at 8440 Eagle Creek Parkway constructed when he was the companys sole employee.

It wasnt really rocket science, Jazkowick said. You work with good people and things just work out.

Now, more than 30 years later, the building and the business it houses are both standing as strong as ever.

Cabinets by Dan, which was established in 1981, now has 11 employees and takes on several hundred cabinet-related projects each year. No matter how big or small the project, Jazkowick and his team are prepared to take it on.

Theres nothing we cant do, said Jazkowick. Its just a matter of how much it will cost and how long it will take. And were not afraid of anything; the more complicated, the better, because then theres a challenge.

Everything at Cabinets by Dan is custom made, and the business offers an incredibly wide variety of cabinetry. It also offers countertop work. We can do any kind of countertop, any kind of glass, any kind of hardware, said Jazkowick.

And the options for customization are seemingly endless, from the handles on drawers to the type of doors, and the options for materials are similarly wide-ranging.

For wood, we offer pretty much every species on the planet. Oak, birch, maple, cherry, all your rustics, your calicos, he said. Typically when someone comes into the showroom, we have a meeting and they go Oh my god, look at all this stuff, there are so many choices! Can you just give me three choices. Well, no. We need to give them all the choices so they can make a good, educated decision and feel good about it.

For a typical job, the project will take about a week to make, a week to finish it, and a couple days to install it. The whole process takes about four weeks to complete, though all jobs are different. Jazkowick will head out to a house before a project, take measurements, then have his design man, Josh Epple, draw up an exact plan. However, the hardest part might be for the customer who has to make a variety of decisions before signing off on a project.
