About Fresh Start
Justin Mawhirter, founder of Fresh Start Woodworks, has over 15 years of experience in the remodeling industry. He founded a construction company known as Just In Time Remodeling in 2016, where his team focuses on bathroom and kitchen remodeling, drywall and flooring, decks, and carpentry. His experience as a contractor led him to realize the significant opportunity in the Midwest for quality cabinetry available at a reasonable price in a reasonable timeline. The current options for cabinetry are either custom carpenters that are 1-2 man operations with extended lead times and limited production capabilities, or you can purchase from large manufacturers who struggle with quality control and tend to compromise on the material and finish options to save on cost and emphasize speed of production.
There is a huge demand for something in between those two options. That is why Fresh Start Woodworks will marry the quality and built-to-order nature of a small carpentry shop with the efficiency and scalability of a manufacturing operation. We hope to prioritize quality and personal service while scaling beyond just 1 or 2 employees so that we can keep up with demand and offer better timelines than small operations can. We also see a huge opportunity to grow and scale over time, providing much-needed employment opportunities and creating a significant economic impact.
