Detailed cabinets, one-of-a-kind kitchens, distinctive bars – these are only a few of the projects that make Dakota Wood Design the top choice of discerning home builders and homeowners around the Twin Cities.

 

Doug Zellmer and Keith Gilmore, owners of Dakota Wood Design in Farmington, pride themselves on creating unique custom cabinetry ranging from a single piece to all of the cabinetry for high-end residential homes. Their work is featured both in new construction and remodeling projects, in addition to retail and commercial office spaces.

 

In business together since 1998, Doug and Keith have been around the sounds and smells of woodworking all their lives. Both enjoy the challenge and creativity involved in crafting pieces of raw lumber into beautiful, one-of-a-kind fixtures that help make a house a home.

 

Their experience and love for their craft gives them the versatility to work either with someone else’s plans or create their own designs. They work with any species of wood, although oak, maple and cherry remain the most popular, and they handle all aspects of a project, from selecting the initial cuts of lumber to staining and installing the finished products. “No two jobs are ever the same, and that’s what keeps work interesting,” says Doug. “Bars and entertainment centers are especially fun, because of the creativity and challenge involved.”
