You know that feeling when you enter a place and immediately sense you’re someplace special? You feel it in the air. You stand there and wonder what it is. Then you look around and see…
- Happy people
- Quiet beauty
- Excellence in everything
It’s what the people at Cohen Architectural Woodworking live for.
Cohen, whose motto is, “We’re Building Palaces for Our Customers,” supplies beautiful custom commercial cabinetry and millwork for clients nationwide. They work with architects, builders, design teams, and general contractors to create these environments.
Cohen looks for the biggest frustrations clients face in creating these spaces: Inconsistent quality and the clients needing to solve the same problems over and over again.
Take a chain restaurant with five hundred locations or a medical firm with several large hospitals and dozens of clinics. They need the same look, feel, and efficiency in every location from Florida to Oregon.
Achieving that outcome requires a consistent unified approach. And they need their project delivered on time. This is what Cohen Architectural Woodworking does.
Cohen looks for ways to standardize custom woodworking and millwork by removing the barrier of repetitive problem-solving that leads to inconsistent products. By standardizing the process, they solve the problem once and implement it into the workflow for every project. Then they look for the next problem, solve it, and on and on.
It’s just the way they’ve taught themselves to think.
Founder and CEO Phillip Cohen says, “We started cabinetmaking in the mid-1970s with less than nothing. Gina and I have nine children. With a family that large and little or no money, we had to be efficient.
We discovered that what we learned while fighting our way out of poverty also helped our clients, regardless of their size. For example, between 1985 and 2010, when our children were younger, we completed more than 850 projects for Walmart.
Many of their project managers and contractors told us we were the best. That’s because we treat everyone with the same respect, and respect their money as our own.”
“Cohen Architectural Woodworking is one of the best millwork suppliers we have ever worked with. They ask the right questions, they have positive interactions with our Design Teams, they treat their people well, and they deliver high-quality products.
They do things right the first time and look out for us on all projects. We have established Cohen as one of our preferred contractors,” said Wayne Williams, Mercy Health Systems.
“Cohen Architectural has great people, it’s that simple. I rate them highly on their responsiveness, quality, pricing, and safety mentality. Their supervision and coordination capabilities are excellent,” said Jared Hites, McCarthy Building Companies.
Cohen’s clients keep coming back because when they don’t, they get inconsistent results from many of Cohen’s competitors. As a family-owned business that places culture above all else, Cohen understands that serving people and building trust through consistency wins in the end.
Whether you purchase their products or just visit their facility, you will experience the quiet, consistent beauty and humble, serving hearts of people who build palaces for their customers.
Phil Cohen, Founder and CEO
