I recommend Jack Decker and his team without hesitation.
The bookshelf system I designed for my studio required systematized production of some complicated components and forms. Vernacular Design proved to be skillful, thoughtful and enthusiastic collaborators in the process. They prototyped, mocked up, sampled and developed a precise solution. I was as pleased with the result as I was with the process.

Jack is a great cabinetmaker and a pleasure to work with.
We worked with Jack on a large new house with a relatively complex cabinet program. Beyond the consistency and simple beauty of the work he produced is a thoughtful, collaborative and hard-working craftsman. Where he saw a challenge he embraced it, asked questions, and worked with us to achieve the look and ergonomics we sought. Jack’s can-do attitude and high-quality work would make him a great choice for any owner, designer or architect.

Thoughtful, intentional, talented. Highly recommended.
Vernacular Design helped me design my retail space, Hops Petunia. Jack is so thoughtful and intentional and his attention to detail is bar none. He brought my ideas into reality, creating exactly what I had hoped for but also adding important details I never would have thought of. Very grateful for his beautiful work.
Amazing from design concept to final project install.
Working with Jack and Vernacular Design to bring new energy and aesthetic coupled with functional simplicity to a special room in my home was amazing from design concept to final project install. Every layer of what I hoped to bring to life was actualized and the whole project process was a delight. Thank you, Jack, for helping make a new place of peace and meditation possible.

If you want the good stuff, look no further.
Vernacular Design’s level of craftsmanship is truly remarkable! They have made several things for our home and they’re all perfect. Excellent communication, design and delivered right on schedule. In my experience, that’s a rare combination.
Top notch work that stands the test of time.
We’ve worked with Vernacular Design on many projects over the years. He has built many items for us: beautiful bars, furniture, doors, shelves, wainscoting. It is always top notch work that stands the test of time.
Jack is a master designer/problem solver.
Vernacular Design has furnished and fit so many unique custom pieces in our shops and in our home. Jack is a master designer/problem solver, and uses beautiful materials and the best non-toxic finishes that last. Could not recommend highly enough.
Excellent team and great workmanship.
My experience with Vernacular Design was beyond expectation. They helped me visualize my new kitchen, and paid attention to details I hadn’t considered to be of value.
