Old Hat Workshop LLC.

The state insures Old Hat Workshop under workers'-comp classes for interior finish carpentry and for cabinet, countertop and fixture manufacturing, which matches a shop that builds the pieces and then fits them. Licence-matched Spokane County permits from 2022 and 2023 cover a new single-family house and a residential alteration. The crew runs in the seven-to-ten range, and the company's site lists roles including a shop manager, lead installer, cabinet maker and project designer. The state lists Jon Tettleton as a principal since 2016. Work comes mostly through referrals and repeat customers. That setup suits a homeowner after built-to-order cabinets or a furniture piece, or a builder finishing a new Spokane house who wants the trim, millwork and casework handled by one shop. The company says it asks for half the price as a down payment, which is common for custom fabrication where materials are bought up front. Before comparing quotes for custom cabinetry, write down what you actually want built: each cabinet run with measurements, door style, wood species or paint finish, hardware, and whether countertops are included or handled by someone else. Note who does demolition, who patches walls, and who coordinates with the plumber or electrician. For finish carpentry, list every room and the trim profiles you expect. In older Spokane houses, walls are rarely square, so ask each shop how it handles scribing and on-site fitting. Bids that line up on the same written scope are the only ones worth comparing.
