Introduction

Greetings! I'm Gabriel Lauer, the creative mind behind Gabriel Lauer Design, a proudly local business dedicated to crafting bespoke cabinetry solutions in the Columbus, Ohio metro area. With a background as a former firefighter, I've transitioned my dedication and precision into the world of custom woodworking. Our workshop is not just a creative space—it's a hub for local craftsmanship. At Gabriel Lauer Design, we take pride in being a local business where everything is made in-house. From the initial design sketches to the final strokes of finish, each step of the process happens right here in our workshop, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship in every piece. Collaboration is at the core of what we do. Every project is a joint venture, as we work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Whether it's bespoke kitchen cabinets, built-ins, bars, or other woodworking masterpieces, we create functional and beautiful pieces that resonate with the local community's unique charm. Outside the shop, I'm blessed with a wonderful family—my beautiful wife and four kids who bring joy to my life. We share a love for the outdoors, playing outside, taking leisurely walks, engaging in family games, and savoring delicious meals together. This passion for family and the simple joys of life often find their way into my designs, creating pieces that embody the warmth and togetherness we cherish at home. Welcome to a world where your vision meets our expertise, and together, we shape the extraordinary.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Pricing is subject to the scope of project.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I like to have an initial consultation over the phone where you can tell me about your project and I can give a ballpark estimate to see if we want to move foreword. If you choose me I will set up a time with you to take detailed measurements and provide time to make design choices. Once the design choices are finished and signed off I will start production followed by installation.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have an undergraduate degree in accounting from Arizona State University. I spent the past 12 years as a firefighter/paramedic. I have strong knowledge of construction trade and design. Woodworking has always been a passion of mine and now I get to do it fulltime.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

This work started as a hobby/personal projects. It took off after I started doing projects for friends and coworkers until encouraged to start my own business.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Typically work with homeowners. I also work with general contractors, architects, designers, and real estate agents.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently completed a custom kitchen, bar, and entry unit. The job took 5 weeks to build and install. This customer had a corner pantry that was an eyesore and outdated cabinets in disrepair. Other cabinet makers offered semi custom solutions of replacement. We were able to remove the corner pantry and design a completely custom kitchen that had significantly more storage space. Our quote was also under all the other cabinet makers with more cabinets all the way to 10 ft ceilings.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Take your time to vet professionals for your project. Not all are created equal. Lowest price does not always equal a good outcome.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What is your total budget? What do you want the project to look like when completed? Try to get an estimate on cost of each trade before starting the project. This will give you the best picture of what you can afford.
