Built by Dane Appleton

Elite Craftsmanship driven by design. Built with intentional execution.

I started building cabinets at 15 years old in Southern California, working alongside my dad in his renovation company. That early hands-on experience sparked a lasting passion for craftsmanship—one that has stayed with me for over two decades. Today, that passion has grown into a design-driven business based in Portland, Oregon, supporting both my work and my family.

My experience spans every stage of the building process—from early structural work and framing to custom cabinetry, built-ins, and detailed finish work in multi-million-dollar homes. This full-scope background allows me to approach each project with a deep understanding of both structure and design.

Custom kitchens have become a true focus of my work. They represent the perfect balance between function and artistry—where thoughtful layouts, quality materials, and original design come together to create something lasting. Every project is approached with intention, ensuring your space is not only beautiful, but built to work seamlessly for your lifestyle.

When you hire Appleton Woodwork + Design, you work directly with me and my team. This ensures clear communication, a high level of craftsmanship, and a final product that adds long-term value to your home.
