Hofmann Joinery - About the Company

Affiliates

Listed here are some of our vendors and other industry professionals who excel in their field, and have helped our business grow.

CNC Routing Vendor

R&G Productions
PO Box 443
Finksburg, MD 21048
410.517.0390 fax: 410.517.0392

R&G Productions was formed at about the same time that Hofmann Joinery was incorporated, and we've been working together ever since. With their CNC routing capacity and expertise, they have opened up new doors for me to expand the scope and complexity of my work, and to increase efficiency and lower costs.

Metal Engraving and Fabrication

Siechert Engraving
12935 Kentbury Drive
PO Box 739
Clarksville, MD 21029
800.844.2270 Fax: 301.854.3333

Owner Ken Kiatta's attention to detail and fabrication skills are outstanding. Siechert Engraving's services are the reason the Deco mantel clocks came into production, and no other company that I found had the skill or competency to take on this project.

Metal Plating and Polishing

Metro Plating and Polishing, Inc.
www.metroplating.com
4110 Howard Avenue
Kensington, MD 20895
301.493.4009

Metro Plating did a great job on the plating and polishing of the parts on the mantel clocks, which were numerous and tiny. Their expertise was much appreciated when I was researching this project as well. They were also able to put my order together on very short notice, which enabled me to introduce these clocks at a furniture show.

Architect

Christian Zapatka Design LLC
1427 27th Street NW
Washington, DC 20007
202.235.2735 Fax: 202.333.5372

Christian is an up-and-coming architect in the metropolitan Washington area, and his work really has its own signature. He has an incredible talent for exercising architectural imagination while keeping his designs appropriate for their purpose, environment, and surroundings; that balance is not easy to achieve. It has been an interesting journey working with Christian, as he is continually presenting me with projects that are very stylistic and challenging.

Antique Metal Refinishing

The Brass and Copper Shop
13 S. Carrol Street
Frederick, MD 21701
301.663.4240

Don Reedy's store and services have been a great discovery for me. On a large apartment renovation that I was involved in, Don carefully restored, polished, and lacquered all of the original 1909 hardware. For the homeowner, the intrinsic value of re-installing her "new" old hardware couldn't be beat. Don also runs a great store in historic downtown Frederick where he sells all manner of incredible, restored, antique lighting fixtures.

Web Design

Kieran Chapman

I feel very fortunate to have had someone with as much creative talent as Kieran to design and build my website. His work speaks for itself, but I can attest to his professionalism and ability to listen to his client's needs. Kieran also has a keen sense of what "works" on a website in terms of layout, aesthetics, and ease of use for the general viewing public. These were some of the necessary components of a successful website that I hadn't even considered. As a result, it was amazing to watch my own visions processed, improved, and realized. I'm still proud of Kieran's work every time I visit the site.
