Selected work

A closer look at the details.

Finished-project photographs will live here. Until then, these placeholders mark what each slot is meant to show — real work only.

Editor note — authorized photos needed These slots are waiting on real project photos with factual captions. Keep this section and the gallery out of indexing until authorized photos are supplied. Never substitute stock or rendered imagery.

Starting a project

You don’t need drawings. A few photos will do.

Send a picture of the room, tell me what you’d like to change, and share any inspiration you’ve saved — that’s a useful place to start. Rough dimensions help if you have them. What matters most is how you use the space: what you want to store, what isn’t working, and any dates that matter to you. Sending the form doesn’t book a visit; it starts a conversation. Here’s how the process works, step by step.

The craft

The details you see every day.

A cabinet can look great on paper and still need careful fitting once it reaches your kitchen. I pay attention to how the doors line up, how the panels meet the wall, and how the trim ties everything together. Those are the details you see every day.

Before I build a shelf, I want to know what’s going on it. A few framed photos and a row of everyday dishes call for different depths and support. Then we can choose the size, finish, and mounting approach that suit the room.

Walls are rarely perfectly straight, so fitting often means scribing — shaping an edge to follow the actual contour of the wall or the surface beside it — so panels and trim sit tight with no gap showing.

I work with white oak, maple, MDF for suitable paint-grade components, melamine cabinet components, other hardwoods, and sheet goods. The right choice depends on the use, the look you want, the budget, and the environment the piece will live in — we’ll talk through that together.

Meet the maker

Hi, I’m Dylan Dittes.

Reform Home Co. is my new business, and I run it the way I build: carefully, one project at a time. I have hands-on professional cabinetry and finish-carpentry experience, plus custom projects I’ve planned, built, and installed on my own — from white-oak floating shelves to a fully fitted camper-van interior.

Worth knowing

One useful bit of context.

National remodeling research offers a reference point: the 2025 Remodeling Impact Report from the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry estimates that a minor kitchen upgrade recovers about 60% of its cost at resale.

That’s a national survey finding — 806 consumer respondents, 177 NARI cost responses, 4,005 Realtor value estimates — not a Fargo result, and not a promise about any single shelf. Cost recovery isn’t profit; a custom project should be judged on its own scope and your plans for the home.
