Introduction
Thank you for visiting my website. A
quick introduction is in order and then I will explain how I set up the
site so you can navigate to find the information you seek.
My name is Steve Casey and I am the
owner operator of Casey Design Inc. I am a hands on designer/ craftsmen
and have been making original and custom made wood products since 1976. My
shop is in Agoura Hills, CA and I supply custom work in and around the Los
Angeles area. I am highly specialized in the home theater market but I am
just as skilled and experienced in the kitchen cabinet and home/
commercial office market as well. When you call my shop I am the one
that answers the phone. I PERSONALLY do the site visits, design and/ or working
drawings, select all the materials, fabricate and finish all the pieces,
load the truck, deliver and install every single piece of work that
goes out my door. I am a licensed CA State C-6 cabinet and millwork
contractor and am insured, bonded and carry Workman's Compensation
insurance. I work with one journeyman helper that I have trained and has
worked with me for over 15 years. Since I do all the work myself with my
helper, I can
control quality from the beginning of the design process through
installation and everything in between.
I am interested in developing long term
collaborative working relationships with like minded design professionals in the Interior
Design, Architecture and Audio/ Video marketplaces. I want to work with
industry professionals that understand the difference between working with an
experienced hands-on craftsman and just hiring a another generic cabinet shop or
buying a piece of factory made furniture. Although I am considered a small shop
I am quite capable of large scale work and can
and will provide it on time and within the contracted budget. From fine
furniture to cabinets and millwork if it is wood or wood related I am
interested in talking to you about your project.
My website has been online since 1999.
Over the years it has morphed into the version you now see. I see this
site as a very sophisticated interactive brochure. The navigation bar
above and on all pages will get you to the sections I think are important
to most visitors. If you just want to look at pictures of work, I have set
up four distinct GALLERIES to show some examples
of the different kinds work I do. Keep in mind that it is a small fraction
of work that has been done and documented over the years and just because I didn't
document a particular piece or type of work on the site it doesn't mean I
have not built it or can not make it for you.
The
COMMISSIONING WORK section explains in detail how
I work with clients. FAQs answers the most common
questions I have been asked countless times over the years before I set up
this site. WOODWORKING 101 is a quick
primer on what every client considering custom woodwork should know. The
EVERYTHING ELSE section will link you
to hours worth of information on myself and work if you are interested.
The HOME page has direct links to articles I
have written for Fine Woodworking Magazine and finally the
WHAT'S NEW section has recent projects
completed as well as other news and information.
Please feel free to contact me by phone
(818 706 3147) or email
stevecasey@stevecaseydesign.com if you have any questions or comments
on my work, the site, or a new project. If you would like to meet in
person at my studio please call me for an appointment. I encourage this
process and in fact think it is best if we meet first at my shop for an
orientation before I do a site visit with your client. Thank you for your
interest in my products and services, Steve Casey 1/27/2010
