Joe Culpepper does amazing custom work. We asked him to take the base from our old dining table and convert to a large buffet with a wine refrigerator cabinet. The base had some unique ebony stained wood that we wanted to re-purpose and not scrap. He fulfilled our request to build a modern buffet with large dimensions of 77*40*22, using the existing wood along with a mix of maple and alder. The job wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it as we now have a custom piece of hardwood furniture. The job took about 6 weeks, so be patient as this is craftsman work.

Culpepper Custom Woodworks meticulously created custom cabinets for Prairie Church of God in Christ. Joe listened to our desires, and implemented them. His craftsmanship is remarkable and stunning! He exceeded our expectations! The cabinets are deep and adjustable. They are extremely gorgeous!

Joe made a custom mahogany wood mantel with excellent workmanship. He was easy to work with and he installed the mantel for me. I plan to use Joe for other projects.

Some years ago Joe replaced our old rotten cedar siding with Hardy Plank on our 2 story 3,000 sq foot house and replaced old original windows with Anderson windows. It looks great, saved us on energy bills and has stood the test of time. Great workmanship. -B.P.
