Knowing Jim for many years, it was an easy choice to have him design our 2010 kitchen remodel. From day #1 he provided designs facilitating local building permit, introduced us to his favorite contractor and oversaw the project until its very successful conclusion. A man who focuses on details, Jim knew his best installer would be needed to install his new cabinets in our kitchen where the ground and walls had settled since early 1960’s when the original kitchen was built. The end product is high-end, beautiful and very functional. Jim had a vision to which we added our ideas. All incorporated, we could not be happier.

Jim and his team built beautiful new cabinetry and shelving for our kitchen. Jim listened very carefully and helped me and my kitchen designer think through many potentially difficult small issues. The new cabinets are of the highest quality. Our kitchen is now gorgeous — much more functional than the old and with great cooking space, all thanks to Jim. I absolutely recommend him and Lignum Vitae.

I am a general contractor. I have used Lignum Vitae for over 20 years to build our cabinets. One of the reasons you hire a certain cabinetmaker is not just the level of craftsmanship(which is of the highest) It’s also the cabinetmakers knowledge about kitchens, layout and design. Jim Martin is an excellent communicator willing to work with clients to realize their dreams. We strongly recommend this company
