About Woodmaster Custom Cabinets
At Woodmaster Custom Cabinets, truly custom cabinetry starts with understanding your home and how you live. We bring personalized design, skilled craftsmanship, and thoughtful problem-solving together to create cabinetry that is beautiful, functional, and made for you.
Design. Build. Finish. Install. Stand Behind Our Craftsmanship.
Our Story
Our story began in 1999, when husband and wife Michael and Angela Ling founded Woodmaster Woodworks, an interior trim company. Michael led the hands-on carpentry, while Angela developed the brand and marketing, nurtured client relationships, shaped the customer experience, and established the business practices that supported the company’s growth.
Together, they built a reputation for quality, reliability, and personal service. In 2002, they founded Woodmaster Custom Cabinets, bringing their complementary strengths in craftsmanship, design, business, and customer service into custom cabinetry.
Based in Youngsville, North Carolina, Woodmaster remains family-owned and locally rooted. More than two decades later, what began as a husband-and-wife operation has grown into an experienced team, with Michael and Angela still working alongside the people who bring each project to life.
Meet Our Founders
Michael Ling
Originally from Florida, Michael trained in North Carolina under a master carpenter, developing the discipline, precision, and woodworking skills that continue to guide his work. Decades of hands-on experience have deepened his understanding of woodworking and construction, helping him find creative solutions to the unique challenges of custom projects.
Today, Michael connects design with manufacturing. He carefully prepares and lays out each project so the build team can bring the design to life with the quality and attention to detail it deserves.
Angela Ling
Born and raised in Youngsville, Angela grew up in a family with a strong construction background. Her lifelong love of interior design, textiles, color, and the details that make a space feel complete developed into a passion for creating beautiful, functional homes.
Angela leads the design team, bringing an extensive design background, a strong eye for detail, and a personal commitment to customer service and lasting client relationships. Her creative perspective complements Michael’s craftsmanship, connecting each client’s vision with the practical details of bringing it to life.
A Personalized Design Experience
Our design team works closely with you to understand your vision, identify your needs, and develop a design that feels at home in your space. Good design should do more than change how a room looks. It should meet a need, improve how the space functions, and reflect the way you live.
We want the experience to be inspiring and approachable. You should feel welcomed, heard, and comfortable asking questions and exploring possibilities throughout the process.
Truly Custom Craftsmanship
Raw materials arrive at our shop, where we prepare, mill, and craft them specifically for each individual project. Our custom cabinetry is built using hardwood and quality plywood cabinet construction rather than particleboard, chipboard, or pressed-board cabinet boxes. Construction details such as dovetail, full-extension, soft-close drawer boxes reflect our attention to how the finished cabinetry works as well as how it looks.
Every home brings its own dimensions, architectural conditions, needs, and opportunities. Our experience helps us work through those details and develop solutions that protect the design, functionality, and integrity of the finished project.
Built, Finished & Installed In-House
Our custom cabinetry is designed, built, finished, and installed by the Woodmaster team, never subcontracted. After construction, each project moves through our full in-house finish department before reaching our installation team.
Keeping these stages within one team gives us greater control over quality, communication, consistency, and accountability. It also gives you confidence in the people responsible for your project and working in your home.
Quality We Stand Behind
For us, quality is non-negotiable. It includes the materials we choose, the care we put into our work, and how the cabinetry performs once it becomes part of your home.
Custom work can present unique challenges. When something within our responsibility does not meet the Woodmaster standard, we do what is necessary to make it right. Our responsibility continues beyond installation through the warranty we provide on our craftsmanship.
Every Project Matters
A project’s importance is not measured by its size. Whether we are creating a single custom built-in or cabinetry throughout an entire home, every client deserves the same care, respect, communication, and craftsmanship.
We want you to enjoy the experience of creating your cabinetry with us. Honest communication, follow-through, and doing what we say we will do are how we build trust. Repeat clients and referrals have become an important part of Woodmaster’s foundation, and we consider it one of the greatest compliments when a client returns or recommends us to family and friends.
Family-Owned. Team-Driven.
Michael and Angela see themselves as part of the Woodmaster team. They believe leadership begins with setting an example through honesty, respect, accountability, hard work, and a willingness to keep learning.
Knowledge moves in both directions here. We pass along the experience and lessons gained over the years while valuing the skills, ideas, and fresh perspectives each team member brings. That exchange helps preserve our craftsmanship while allowing our company and our people to grow.
We take pride in creating a workplace where people feel welcomed, valued, trusted, and supported. Recognizing contributions, offering opportunities to succeed, and encouraging growth help our team take pride in the work we create together.
Experience That Keeps Evolving
More than two decades in custom cabinetry have taught us that experience is a reason to keep learning. New materials, techniques, technologies, and design possibilities give us opportunities to refine our work. Every project teaches us something, and every challenge strengthens our process.
As we look ahead, our focus is on steady growth, supporting our team, and preserving the personal attention and small-town values that have shaped Woodmaster from the beginning. With patience, resilience, and care, we continue creating cabinetry we are proud to make part of your home.
