Our Story

Gaithersburg's detail-obsessed cabinet shop.

Family-owned. Insured. Referral-driven. The same hands from the first measurement to the final walkthrough — and João Vitor on every job.

Modhome Custom Cabinets — finish carpentry workbench in Gaithersburg, MD Gaithersburg, MD · Insured

A custom cabinet has to fit perfectly and still look right ten years from now. That is the only standard that matters to me.

The Story

From a decade in the trade to a trusted DC Metro name.

Modhome grew the slow way — one referral at a time, one home at a time. Here is how we got here.

  1. Since 2016

    A Decade in the Trade

    João Vitor spends years mastering custom cabinetry and finish carpentry, building a reputation for clean work and even cleaner job sites.

  2. 2022

    Modhome is Born

    João Vitor formally launches Modhome Custom Cabinets LLC in Gaithersburg, MD — a family-owned shop built on craftsmanship and trust.

  3. Growth

    Built on Referrals

    Contractors and homeowners keep sending their neighbors — three to four custom projects a month, almost entirely by word of mouth.

  4. Today

    500+ Projects Across the DC Metro

    Custom kitchens, trim, closets, built-ins, and staircases for homeowners from Gaithersburg to Bethesda and Rockville — still owner-run.

What We Stand For

Three things we will not compromise on.

— 01

We Protect Your Home

Floors covered, dust contained, surfaces masked before a single tool comes out. Caring for the home — and leaving it spotless — is something our clients notice on every job.

— 02

Honest Estimates

You see the line items. No hidden fees, no surprise change orders mid-project. The number we give you in the estimate is the number you pay at the end.

— 03

Finished, Not Just Installed

Coped corners, level cabinets, soft-close hardware, and clean caulk lines. The difference between carpentry and good carpentry is in the details — and that is the whole job for us.

Behind The Build

A family-owned shop. One standard.

We deliberately stayed small. That means João Vitor is the same person who quotes your project, builds it, and walks the finished work with you.

Founder · On Every Job

João Vitor Araujo de Abreu

Leads every estimate, every build, and every final walkthrough. The owner is the craftsman — that is the whole point of working with Modhome instead of a crew you never meet.
