Don't Take Our
Word for it...
Chris was really helpful in walking us through exactly how he'd build built in bookshelves in our home. He delivered exactly what he described and we're very happy with the finished product!
James J., Baltimore, MD
Chris and his team did fantastic work. They took time to make sure everything was exactly what I wanted and that I understood all of my options.
The shelves and desks totally transformed the room and they look great.
Scott R., Federal Hill, MD
Chris and his team did a brilliant job on a major project at my house, involving built-in bookshelves, cabinets, desk, and mantelpiece. I hired Chris after it became obvious that his desire for the utmost quality matched my own. He worked with me carefully throughout the design phase (including a site visit) to make sure every detail was right.
Jonathan S., Middletown, MD
Chris did a wonderful job with the custom bookshelves. He listened to my ideas and we agreed on a plan and design before he started. He was extremely professional in both his correspondence and work. The bookshelves are perfect! From the specific trim I requested to the smooth finish, they reflect exactly what I wanted. The custom ladder was incredibly well done

Home Office Crafted for How You Live and Work
Every career has its own cadence. Whether you're managing complex spreadsheets, sketching a storyboard, crafting jewelry, or preparing legal briefs-the way you work is different from anyone else. Yet most home office spaces are built like one-size-fits-all boxes, ignoring your tools, your rhythm, and your environment.
​
At ACS Woodshop, we reject that idea completely. Your work matters. Your process matters. That's why we create custom cabinetry that supports your career's demands, enhances your daily flow, and reflects your personal style.
Cookie-Cutter Desk Doesn't Cut It
"My work doesn't fit a cookie-cutter desk setup. I needed something more customized."
If you've ever tried to squeeze your workflow into a generic desk setup, you know the frustration: no space for your scanner, no drawers deep enough for your files, no room for creative tools or tech. You end up stacking gear in corners, tucking cords behind baskets, and constantly adapting to a space that wasn't designed with you in mind.
​
For professionals who use their home office as a true command center-not just an occasional email station-those compromises cost time, energy, and inspiration.
A Space Designed For You
Whether you're storing tripods, tax documents, or toner cartridges, we create cabinetry that adapts to your workflow. From fully wired dual-monitor stations and lockable legal drawers to display shelving for creative portfolios or ergonomic zones for product assembly, our home offices are built to serve both function and flow.
​
Every cabinet, surface, and compartment is designed to match your professional rhythm--so your workspace feels intuitive, empowering, and effortless.

Space limitations shouldn't mean compromises. At ACS Woodshop, we know that many homeowners have tight corners, narrow rooms, or multipurpose areas - and still want a custom home office that looks stunning and functions flawlessly. That's why we specialize in transforming compact or unconventional spaces into elegant, high-performing home office spaces that are tailored to your needs.
​
Whether it's a hallway nook, a converted closet, a guest room corner, or a tiny den, your small space holds big potential. Our built-in solutions are proof that a beautiful and functional office doesn't require massive square footage-just smart design, fine craftsmanship, and personal care.
Home Office Meet
Personal Library
For those who find joy in well-lined shelves, dog-eared books, soft lighting, and rich wood grains, the idea of a workspace that also serves as a personal library is more then a dream - it's a necessity. This layout was created for people who want a space that doesn't just perform but also inspires.
​
Whether you're a historian, a writer, a music enthusiast, or just someone who finds peace surrounded by the artifacts of a well-lived life, the "Home Office Meets Personal Library" design brings warmth and wisdom to your workday.
​
This isn't about cramming a desk between shelves. It's about creating a space where function meets reflection- where you can think, work, read, write, and simply breathe.
