Some companies are built on trends.  DeWils was built on a workbench.

Since 1959, DeWils Fine Cabinetry has been creating custom cabinetry rooted in furniture-making traditions, meticulous craftsmanship, and the belief that the pieces inside your home should be built with care, intention, and longevity. Family-owned and operated for three generations, DeWils isn’t just a cabinet manufacturer. It’s a living legacy.

 DeWils began in Vancouver, Washington, with a man named Duane Wilson, a phone company lineman with a steady job, a young family, and a deep pull toward craftsmanship.

When a local home builder offered Duane a contract to build kitchen cabinets for a new home, the opportunity felt like a turning point. The job paid $2,500. Enough to take the leap. Enough to start something.

Duane quit his job to pursue what he loved.  Then the order was canceled.

With just $800 in the bank and a wife and three kids depending on him, Duane stood at a crossroads. He could beg for his job back, or he could bet on himself. He chose the risk. He chose the craft. He chose to build something that would last.

That decision became DeWils Fine Cabinetry.

 From the beginning, DeWils was shaped by furniture-making principles. Cabinets weren’t viewed as boxes to fill a wall, but as pieces that deserved attention to proportion, joinery, materials, and finish.

That mindset still defines the way DeWils works today.

Every cabinet is approached as if it were going into a family home, not a showroom. Details matter. The inside matters just as much as the outside. How something functions is inseparable from how it feels.

This is craftsmanship that’s meant to be lived with.
