On its Houzz profile, Licari Woodworking describes itself as a family-owned business that has been in high-end custom cabinetry for over 30 years, serving mainly Westchester and Fairfield counties with a staff of 11 employees, 3 of them designers. In 2013, Riverside Design and Build wrote on Houzz that Licari had built custom cabinets on many of its projects, from shop drawings to fabrication to installation. A 2013 Houzz reviewer writing as a designer described the process running from the shop drawing phase through installation. In 2016, Blansfield Builders wrote that it continued to rely on Licari for its millwork needs, and a 2016 reviewer signing as Joe Cugno Architect said they had used the company on several projects over the last few years. A 2025 Google customer said they had them work on a very small job and called them helpful, friendly and professional. A 2022 Google customer wrote that Jim, Jr. was always too busy to talk, and that after drawings were sent as requested, the firm never acknowledged receipt of them. **Strengths:** - Custom cabinetry — a 2013 Houzz reviewer praised shop drawings through installation - A small job — a 2025 Google customer called them helpful and professional **Concerns:** - Unacknowledged drawings — a 2022 customer said sent drawings were never acknowledged ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes itself on Houzz as a family-owned custom cabinet business of over 30 years, serving mainly Westchester and Fairfield counties _(confidence: medium)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/woodworkers-and-carpenters/licari-woodworking-pfvwus-pf~1476442023) — “About (Houzz profile, the business's own statement): Licari Woodworking, LLC has been in the high-end custom cabinet business for over 30 ye…” - In 2013, Riverside Design and Build said Licari built custom cabinets on many of its projects, from shop drawings to installation _(confidence: medium)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/woodworkers-and-carpenters/licari-woodworking-pfvwus-pf~1476442023) — “5★ Licari woodworking has built custom cabinets for Riverside Design and Build on many of our projects with excellent results.
