The Beginning

 

Village Handcrafted Cabinetry started with one craftsman, Joe Trave, who had a passion for woodworking. Initially working out of a small woodshop in his parents’ backyard. Joe crafted pieces of furniture for clients. As demand for his work grew, so did the size of his projects, eventually necessitating a move to a larger space.

First Official Shop

 

Joe purchased a cabinet shop in Quakertown, which served as the company’s new home. He brought on partners: his wife Gina, his sister Jen Marks, and brother-in-law Gary Marks. The shop in Quakertown had under 10 employees. However, the continued success and expansion of the business soon required a move to a bigger facility.
