Schiefer & Co is a Waltham-based custom builder and architectural millwork shop — the kind of outfit that builds bespoke cabinetry and takes on high-end residential work for clients across Boston and New England, with prices to match the craft. The clearest account comes from a 2026 Reddit thread, where a customer described kitchen cabinets built to exacting, watchmaker-level precision and returning a few years later to have the shop add shelves and make adjustments — the kind of repeat call a woodworking client makes only when the first job held up. A separate commenter, who said they used to work there, described the company as intelligent, reasonable and rational to deal with, contrasting it with a trade they said is full of difficult people. Anyone commissioning custom millwork or cabinetry should expect a premium price point and can ask to see the shop's past project photos before committing.
