Louis A. Piscitelli is the owner of L.A. Custom Woodwork. I grew up in the West End section of Long Branch, NJ and started the business in Ocean Twp., NJ. While doing quality home renovations and finish carpentry with my grandfather William Lykes, I became interested in the fine art of woodworking. Working along side of such a master craftsman enlightened my creative side.

I used my many years of drafting and artistic abilities to start creating exquisite wooden boxes. I decided upon this expression after seeing some of the fascinating boxes created by Po Shun Leong. They wouldn’t require much space or material to build but would allow me to hone my woodworking skills.

While doing home renovations for a famous local artist, I was commissioned to build many built-in bookcases for her. I was eager to fabricate a project of this size, but I didn’t have much room to work in, just a single car garage. That was the beginning of many projects over the next few years.

In August of 2003 LACW moved to Melbourne, FL. The showroom/shop is 1800-sq. ft., with areas for milling, shaping and assembly. There also is a self-enclosed finishing room. In this type of environment we can handle the largest jobs while maintaining the highest quality product. LACW can create a design solution that meets the needs of the most discriminating clients. LACW specializes in custom orders; therefore, each piece we create has the flavor of individuality. We welcome the opportunity to bid on any project regardless of size and complexity. Please contact us if you would like to visit the showroom/shop or if you have any questions.
