Modern Cabinet & Construction mills custom mouldings and trim in its own Altoona woodshop, and stocks countertops, cabinet hardware, hardwood lumber, flooring and stair parts.

Real woodworking, right on Frankstown Road

Modern Cabinet & Construction makes custom millwork in Altoona in its own woodshop, run from the green store at 110 Frankstown Rd. Mouldings are milled in oak, poplar, cherry, maple and walnut, and the store sells hardwood lumber surfaced on two or four sides.

The shop is known for the jobs a big box store cannot handle. One customer had Dan and the crew custom make a threshold between two floors at different levels and custom match vintage baseboard trim.

Another got a tour from Ben and Dan and wrote that it was great to see craftsmanship is still alive. Google reviewers also mention a lot of hard to find items and stock products of better quality than Lowes for about the same price.

What you can get here

Custom millwork and mouldings

Mouldings milled to order in oak, poplar, cherry, maple and walnut. Google reviewers praise the hardwood trim work, and the woodshop can run a profile you cannot find on a store shelf, such as baseboard to match an older home.

Trim matching for older homes

Bring in a piece of your old trim and ask the shop to match it. One customer had vintage baseboard trim custom matched, plus a custom threshold made to bridge two floors at different heights. He says Dan and the crew offer ideas and solutions.

Cabinets, countertops and cabinet hardware

Countertops and cabinet hardware are on the store's awning, and cabinets are in the company's name. Stop in to ask what is available for your kitchen, pick out hardware to finish it and order custom wood pieces from the same shop when you need them.

Hardwood lumber, plywood and veneer

Hardwood lumber surfaced on two sides (D2S) or four sides (D4S), plus plywood and veneer, for your own projects or for builders. Google reviewers say the store carries a lot of hard to find items, so it is worth calling before you drive farther.

Hardwood flooring and stair parts

Hardwood flooring, stair parts and router bits are all on the awning list. The shop has also made a custom threshold to fit two floors at different heights, and it can explain how the details of your job affect the price before you order.

Dan and the crew are always knowledge and helpful. They offer you ideas and solutions. I've had them custom make a threshold between 2 different level floors, they have custom matched vintage baseboard trim for me, and in have purchased many of their stock products. Better quality than Lowes for about the same price

Questions customers ask

Can you match old trim in my house?

Yes. The shop has custom matched vintage baseboard trim for customers restoring older homes. Bring a sample piece or a clear profile to the store at 110 Frankstown Rd, and the crew can talk you through wood species, lengths and what it will take to mill it.

Which woods do you work with?

Custom mouldings are made in oak, poplar, cherry, maple and walnut. The store also sells hardwood lumber surfaced two sides (D2S) or four sides (D4S), plywood and veneer, so you can buy matching stock for the rest of your project.

Do you sell cabinets and countertops?

The store's awning lists countertops and cabinet hardware along with hardwood flooring and stair parts, and cabinets are in the company's name. Call (814) 942-1000 or stop in to ask what is available for your kitchen and how custom wood pieces from the shop can finish it off.

What are your hours?

Modern Cabinet & Construction is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4 PM and closed Saturday and Sunday. You can also email moderncabinet@atlanticbbn.net with photos or measurements of what you need, then follow up by phone during store hours.

How is a custom piece priced?

Price depends on the details: wood species, length, profile and how complex the job is. The shop has explained to customers that a quote for a simple piece changes once more complex details come in, so share every detail up front for the most accurate number.
