About Us
Who We are
A Seattle Custom
Cabinet Company Built
on Craftsmanship
Stockman Custom Cabinets & Millwork is a veteran-owned custom cabinet company serving general contractors, architects, designers, and homeowners throughout the Greater Seattle Area. With over 75 years of combined experience, our work centers on quality craftsmanship, integrity, and strong relationships with the people who trust us with their projects.
We design and manufacture custom cabinetry and woodwork for spaces that call for something beyond standard products. From custom cabinets in Seattle homes to detailed millwork for contractor-led projects, our team stays closely involved from the initial plans through manufacturing, finishing, and installation.
Quality Is Built Into
Every Project
Before completed work leaves our shop, it is carefully reviewed against the requirements of the project. If something does not meet our standards, we address it before sending the piece to the home or jobsite.
That approach reflects the pride our craftsmen take in their work. Whether we are manufacturing a single vanity or cabinetry for a larger construction project, we want the finished product to represent the level of craftsmanship associated with the Stockman name.
Our Goal
Filling a Need for Better Custom Cabinetry in the Pacific Northwest
Stockman began after our founders recognized a gap in the Pacific Northwest supplier network. Contractors and other project partners needed a cabinet and millwork resource that could deliver quality work while placing greater value on communication, accountability, and long-term relationships.
Stockman Custom Cabinets & Millwork was formed to meet that need.
Those principles continue to guide how we operate. We have built relationships with leading local general contractors while expanding our work with architects, designers, and homeowners.
As a local custom cabinet company, we want clients to know who is building their cabinetry, how their project is progressing, and what they can expect from our team.
More Than Cabinets
More Than a Custom Cabinet Company
Cabinetry is a major part of what we do, but our woodworking capabilities extend much further. Stockman can design and manufacture:
Custom Cabinets
Closets & Storage
Tables &
Game Tables
Custom Built-ins
Entertainment Centers
Bookshelves
Bathroom Vanities
Millwork & Wood Details
Our shop can also shape custom molding profiles to coordinate with existing architectural features that are no longer in production. This capability can be especially useful during renovations where new woodwork needs to complement details already found throughout the property.
For clients looking for Seattle custom cabinets or specialty woodwork, this broader range of capabilities allows us to address project requirements that may extend beyond standard cabinetry.
Our Advantage
The Advantages of Working with a Smaller Cabinet Shop
Stockman’s size allows us to stay personally involved with the projects moving through our shop.
Clients can communicate directly with the people responsible for developing and producing their work. Questions can be addressed as the project progresses, and our team remains accountable for carrying approved details through manufacturing and installation.
This approach also supports one of our core priorities: building lasting relationships. We want to be the custom cabinet company that contractors and design professionals can return to for future projects and that homeowners are comfortable recommending after their project is complete.
Who We Work With
Built for Contractors, Architects, Designers
& Homeowners
The relationships behind our work are just as important as the finished product.
A Resource for Construction & Design Professionals
Stockman is a preferred source for leading local general contractors and regularly works with professionals who need cabinetry and millwork produced according to specific project requirements.
We can work from architectural drawings, construction documents, designer specifications, and established material and finish selections. Our team understands that our portion of the work is part of a larger project, making communication and coordination an important part of the process.
Personal Attention for Homeowners
We also work directly with homeowners who want cabinetry or woodwork created specifically for their property. Whether the project begins with detailed plans or an initial idea, our team can help develop the information needed to move into production.
Our Mission
Our Mission:
Craftsmanship Made for the Space
Our mission is to create cabinetry that reflects the needs of the space and the people who will use it. Every project is approached with careful attention to the details that shape the finished result, including:
- Precise joinery for clean, accurate connections
- Consistent finishes across cabinetry & woodwork
- Reliable hardware that operates smoothly
- Proper fit with walls, trim, and surrounding architectural features
- Quality installation that brings every part of the project together
From the first plans through final installation, our team keeps long-term quality in focus. The result is cabinetry and woodwork that fits the property, functions as intended, and continues to serve the space for years to come.

Chris Bicknell
Co-Founder & CEO
Learn More
For Co-Founder and CEO Chris Bicknell, building has always been more than a profession. Growing up surrounded by tradespeople, he learned early on that attention to detail and pride in your work makes all the difference. Summers during high school were spent helping his father’s painting company in Seattle and his step-grandfather’s construction company in Eastern Washington. Those early days on job sites sparked a lifelong passion for creating.
At 17, Chris enlisted in the U.S. Army as a 35Y technician, training in component-level electronics repair for missile systems and helicopters. The precision and discipline he developed during his service continued to shape his approach to construction. After returning home to Seattle, Chris worked for his father’s painting and maintenance company before managing full-scale renovations for a 10-story retirement community. There, he gained hands-on experience in every stage of the remodel process, from demolition to final finish work.
In 2008, Chris moved into commercial construction, taking on management roles that expanded his skills in leadership and project coordination. One of his most notable experiences was managing complex scopes for a 45-story luxury hotel in downtown Seattle. That project reinforced his belief that great results come from teamwork and communication.
By 2018, Chris decided to return to his roots and focus on residential construction. He founded his first business, a residential general contractor built on craftsmanship, transparency, and care for clients. Today, Chris continues to lead by example, bringing a hands-on approach and high standards to every project.
After 8 years running a general contracting company; Chris realized the need for high quality custom cabinets in the PNW. When presented with the opportunity, he rekindled his love for woodworking and partnered with Andy Stockman to found Stockman Custom Cabinets & Millwork.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stockman

What should I look for when choosing a custom cabinet company?
