Word for it...
HIRE ACS Woodshop! Chris Stadler is the most conscientious, kind and skilled contractor I have ever worked with. He is totally invested in every stage of a project from design to install. His install crew is absolutely top notch. I have always done work myself but am so glad that I found and chose ACS Woodshop.. I now have a beautiful basement bar, TV room and office with Chris Stadler's supreme woodworking. If you live in the Annapolis area, hire him. You will not be disappointed. He has my highest possible recommendation. Thanks Chris!
Joe M., Annapolis, MD
I found Chris through another woodworker who wasn't able to complete a project for my company on short notice. Chris was the savior we didn't know we needed! He was knowledgeable, communicative, and easy to work with despite all back and forth about the project. The custom bar he built for our trade show will be the star of the whole booth and I can't wait to show it off to our clients. If you're looking for a reliable and quality craftsman, I cannot recommend Chris enough. You won't be disappointed!
Bailey A., Baltimore, MD
We were impressed with Chris’ work from start to finish. He is an excellent communicator and skilled woodworker. Aside from building beautiful furniture, he and his team are also timely and extremely thorough and tidy. Would (and already have) recommended.
Jim D., Baltimore, MD
We were 100% satisfied with ACS. Working with Chris was very easy, and it was clear from the beginning that although he was an exacting craftsman, he was still flexible and open to changes. He had many suggestions about layout that really improved upon the base design we started with. The cabinets turned out great, and we've received many compliments from our friends and family.

Tired of generic entertainment spaces that lack personality and purpose?
You host in a home of distinction—but the current space doesn’t match your lifestyle. Whether you entertain high-profile guests, host wine-pairing evenings, or celebrate life’s milestones, the context isn’t right. Generic “wet bars” or a corner of the kitchen just won’t cut it.
Maybe your space lacks flow. Maybe the finishes feel commodity-grade. Or maybe your guests mingle each time someone opens the fridge. When your space isn’t built for entertaining, every event feels like a compromise.
ACS Woodshop builds luxury bars that are not just functional, but transformational.
Our custom home bars don’t just live in the heart of gatherings—they become the heart of gatherings. From warm laugh lines to celebration clinks, we design spaces that elevate every experience. It’s not about installing cabinets—it’s about creating a destination.

-
Discreet Wet Bars

Luxury That Lives With You
A home bar is more then cabinetry—it’s a lifestyle. It sets the tone when guests walk in, showing you value quality, hospitality, and connection.
​
Picture it: lights low, music soft, laughter in the air. You slide a bottle from a custom display, glass in hand—effortless, because your space was built for it.
​
But it’s not just for hosting. It’s unwinding with a glass of wine after work, or sipping coffee in the morning sun. Your bar becomes a daily retreat, not just a party piece.
At ACS Woodshop, every bar is designed around you. Modern or rustic, sleek or warm—we tailor every detail to your lifestyle. Hidden storage, custom racks, and soft-close drawers keep things seamless, while solid wood craftsmanship gives it soul.
​
This isn’t just furniture—it’s a destination in your home. A place to celebrate, to relax, to connect. That’s true luxury: beauty that lives with you, every day.
