About Nieto's Wood Working
Four decades of craftsmanship serving San Francisco and the Bay Area
40 Years of Craftsmanship
Felipe Nieto has been solving real problems with wood for nearly four decades. From custom kitchens that fit around challenging layouts to built-ins that work perfectly in old San Francisco homes.
Starting in Mexico and refining his craft over 18 years at Sman Woodwork, Felipe built a reputation for precision and reliability among contractors and interior designers across the Bay Area.
Today, from his shop at 1120 Revere Ave in San Francisco, Felipe designs, builds, and finishes every custom piece—inviting clients to see their projects fully assembled before installation.
