Where our artisans shape their work.
Established in 1972 under the name, “Burnley Station Woodworks”, Jaeger & Ernst, Custom Cabinetmakers was incorporated in 1981, from the partnership between founder, Walter Jaeger, and co-owner, Craig Ernst
Located nine miles north of Charlottesville, Virginia, our 5,000 square foot shop, in the refurbished railway depot at Burnley, houses a sophisticated array of modern woodworking equipment. However, it is the outstanding talents of our dedicated craftsmen that account for the exceptional work our clients have come to expect over the years. We welcome prospective clients to visit, whenever they are in the area.
We work wherever we are needed, and encourage people to contact us from anywhere in the country. Many of our clients refer to their difficulty finding the quality of design and craftsmanship we provide, in their immediate area.
Over the past few years we have worked on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Island, MA; Long Island, NY; Sanibel Island, FL; Wilmington, DE; Charleston, SC; Hilton Head, GA; Chicago, Il; Cherry Hill and Montville, NJ… along with the numerous projects we design and build for the Washington, DC area, Richmond, Norfolk and elsewhere across Virginia.
Long distance projects require an initial site visit, and perhaps a second visit once our working drawings have been completed. Most often, we are asked to install our own work, however, the drawings we create are so extensive and well detailed, that we can consider delivering work to be installed by others.
Of course, we can crate individual pieces to be shipped anywhere in the world.
