Our Process
At Cedars, we value open communication with every client and encourage collaboration throughout the entire project’s process.
Working with Cedars means you get the room, product, or renovation you’ve always wanted and are completely satisfied every step of the journey.

Project Stages
While every project is unique, each one follows
these same stages in our remodeling process:
Phone consult >>
The first step to a beautiful new living space. We will talk through the scope of your project, desired time frame and desired budget.
Initial Meeting >>
We’ll walk through your space, listen to your ideas, and start brainstorming a design.
Design Phase >>
We’ll take your dreams and turn them into a design, complete with plans and realistic 3D renderings.
Prepare Budget >>
After plans have been approved, budget numbers will be compiled for the project. The budget will be reviewed with the client and any adjustments made.
Selections Phase >>
After the approval of the budget the selection phase begins. Final finishes and products are selected, 3D renderings updated to show the final selections and the budget is adjusted to show the cost of all final selections.
Approval >>
The final contract is drawn up for customer approval.
Construction >>
Our team of skilled carpenters will transform your existing living space into the one you’ve always wanted.
We’d love to chat about your project.

Our Story
In 1980, Steve Schmucker began “Steven E. Schmucker Painting” as a means of paying for college. Even in its very humble beginnings, Schmucker Painting focused on providing a consistently high-quality product in a professional and timely manner, with the unique benefit of providing extra care and service many customers did not expect. It is this practice of providing caring, quality, and personalized service that has taken second to none. This business has enjoyed Steve’s service, practices, and loyalty to his customers for over four decades.
Fifteen years after Schmucker Painting began, the first inklings of adding woodworking to the business began to take shape, with the purchase of commercial woodworking equipment and a modest shop being created in the basement of Steve Schmucker’s home. It took fifteen more years, plus two moves to accommodate the need for a larger shop space to birth what is now Cedars Woodworking & Renovations.

What’s In A Name
“…they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon” ~ Psalm 92:12
Cedars are solid, strong trees that grow to great heights, in some cases as tall as 120 feet and 30 feet in diameter. They are vital, immovable, have great integrity, and are resistant to rot and decay. It was this description of the cedar tree that inspired the name, Cedars Woodworking & Renovations.
At Cedars, we strive to emulate the characteristics of the cedar tree. We have been and will remain a company of people who are solid and strong in character, vital and full of integrity, striving to do whatever we can to exude these traits to each other, and especially to our customers.
