Abbas Woodworking is a Norwood, Massachusetts shop that builds custom architectural woodworking β millwork, doors, cabinetry, bookcases, and finish carpentry β for residential and commercial clients. The company says it was founded in 1995 by master craftsman Abbas Shah and has been in business about 30 years. Its work leans toward historic and high-end detail: a May 2026 article on historicboston.org said the shop hand-crafted four box-bay windows for the Old Corner Bookstore, and Architectural Digest featured a custom nightstand it built, reported in 2024. Trade publications also listed it among the contractors on a commercial build-out project in 2019 and 2020, and the company says it won a Boston Preservation Achievement Award in 2019. It carries an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. For custom or historic woodwork like this, ask to see examples close to your own project β brownstone doors, built-in cabinetry, or matched millwork β and confirm licensing, insurance, and timeline before booking.
