Ornately carved mantels. Elegant newel posts and balusters. Intricate crown mouldings. These are just some of the elements that impart the charm and character of a home, that not only make it unique, but are the ones that most clearly reflect both the style and personality of the homeowner as well as the talents and expertise of the homebuilder.

This overall integrity of design and attention to detail are the hallmarks of an Avondale Custom Home and its affiliate, Custom Woodworking, Inc. Founded by Maurice McNally in 1986, following his years of extensive apprenticeship in all aspects of the building trades, Custom Woodworking, Inc. soon developed a prominence as one of the foremost specialty cabinetmakers in the Chicagoland area.

In addition to furnishing distinctive trim and decorative treatments, Custom Woodworking, Inc. works closely with Avondale’s clients to translate each homes’ functional needs through individually-designed cabinetry. From stately libraries to sophisticated media centers, and elaborate gourmet kitchens to indulgent master bathroom suites, the company’s master cabinetmakers and fine woodworkers have a facility for transforming a homeowner’s ideas and needs into practical works of art.
