CABINET SHOP
Cabinetry Shop Director
Craig Allbright
Craig’s been making cabinets for over 25 years. Craig’s dad made cabinets. Craig’s grandpa made cabinets. You better believe Craig’s got a saw in his grandbaby’s tiny little hands on the weekends, making cabinets.
I asked him if he was going to be buried in a casket (cabinet?) he made himself. He told us to just leave him in the woods with his hat pulled over his eyes. His focus has been high end residential, and there is no one finer.
​
Shop Foreman
Estiv Lozano
Estiv is like Craig's long lost brother. I hired them separately, but somehow, when they met, they were finishing each others sentences.
He brings a wealth of experience as well.
His passion for what he does is evident, and I have always been impressed with how he takes pride in his work; in his mindfulness and integrity.
He came to Max Craft looking for a company he could be proud of. It's mutual
