Our History

---

Canonsburg General Woodcrafting was originally founded in 1953. We began as a small custom built cabinet shop, and in 1958 we expanded to West Pike Street in Canonsburg. 30 years later Ron Pointek decided to purchase the business from the previous owners. At his old job Ron used Canonsburg General Woodcrafting numerous times for cabinetry, and he realized the potential of the business. By 1993 we had continued success through the ownership change when Ken Pointek left his job to come work with his father. At this point we still only made our own wood and laminate cabinets, but in 1995 we had to meet the demand for cabinets. The industry was shifting and larger companies were able to undercut the smaller cabinet shops, and by 2005 we sold almost all stock and custom stock cabinetry. Now we work with these larger manufacturers to provide you with a quality product and still give you a personalized experience; however, our shop still to this day produces custom laminate cabinets. In 2009 Ken purchased the business from his father and continued his work at the old shop in Canonsburg. Years passed and it was time for yet another change. Canonsburg General Woodcrafting needed a new building, and in June of 2018 we moved to 200 Commerce Boulevard in Lawrence. Before the move Greg Pointek chose the same career path as his father before him, and he is now the third generation in the family to work with us. We have consistently transitioned our business over time, and we are proud to say we will always be Canonsburg General Woodcrafting.
