At Custom Design Carpentry, we bring over 22 years of experience and passion to every project we undertake. Founded at the age of 23 by Sing Joey Chan, who has always been inspired by the art of building and design, our story is one of resilience, dedication, and a commitment to excellence.
Our journey began long before the company was established. At the age of 5, I, Sing Joey Chan, arrived in the United States with my mother and brother, leaving Hong Kong and China behind for a new chapter. The excitement of reuniting with my father, whose face was a distant memory from blurry 1980s photos, fueled my determination to make the most of every opportunity in this new land. My father came to the USA with only a few dollars and worked as a night janitor at a NYC steakhouse and a Chinese restaurant by day. He saved enough to send for us and eventually opened his own restaurant. Watching my parents, I learned the values of hard work and dedication. A brief stop in Canada added another layer to our journey, and it was here in the U.S. where my dreams truly began to take shape.
I am married to an amazing lady, Jane Chan, and we have three wonderful children: Stephanie, Victoria, and Bruce. As a family, we love to travel and explore new cuisines together. I have a deep passion for business and love being an entrepreneur. On my days off, you can often find me watching NFL football on Sundays, enjoying the excitement of the game.
I attended Seton Hall University, where I further developed my passion for business and entrepreneurial spirit. Before launching this company, I honed my skills as a kitchen designer for a major retailer, where I discovered my passion for transforming spaces and creating designs that blend beauty and functionality. However, I yearned to bring a more personalized touch to the process—to work directly with clients and turn their visions into reality. That desire led to the creation of Custom Design Carpentry.
I’m very active on social media and have even had posts go viral, garnering over 6 million views. Love sharing memes with my family, friends and associates. This passion for sharing my work and experiences with others has allowed me to connect with people and inspire creativity beyond just my local community.
Today, our company is known for its exceptional craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. We specialize in custom carpentry, working closely with homeowners to design and build spaces that reflect their unique style and needs.
Every project we take on is a reflection of our core values: integrity, communication, and a deep respect for the trust our clients place in us. We believe in building not just homes but lasting relationships with the people we serve.
Thank you for considering Custom Design Carpentry. We look forward to bringing your dream projects to life.
