Oscar and Marla Santiago
Veteran-owned, family-run, and present on every job from the first design conversation to the day we finish the install. That's not a tagline. That's how we've operated since 2018.
The People Behind the Work
Oscar comes from a US Army background. That experience shaped how he runs the shop: precision, accountability, and a standard that doesn't move depending on who is watching. He runs production and handles every client relationship personally.
Marla runs the business side. Design consultations, scheduling, client communication, the details that keep a project moving smoothly. Together they cover every part of the process.
When you work with Wooden Woodworks, you're not handed off to a project manager you've never met. You talk to Oscar. You work with Marla. You see the same two faces from the first conversation to the day we finish the install.

What Drives Us
A Standard That Doesn't Move
Military precision doesn't leave the building at 5pm. Every cut, every finish, every install is held to the same bar regardless of the project size or the deadline pressure.
One Vendor, Complete Product
Design, fabricate, finish, and install. We don't pass your project to three different companies. One team sees it through from start to finish, and one team is accountable for the result.
Honest Communication
Oscar's goal is for every client to feel like they're working with a trusted friend. That means straight answers, realistic timelines, and no surprises on the day of installation.
Built for Builders
We understand the pressure luxury home builders operate under. Tight timelines, high client expectations, no room for rework. We build our process around your schedule, not the other way around.
Our Edge
Most cabinet shops outsource their painting and staining, or skip the finishing step entirely. We don't. Every cabinet we build is finished by our own crew in Salado before it leaves the building.
That single decision changes everything about the product you receive.
In-House Finishing

The Team
Our team covers every part of the process. Design, fabrication, finishing, and installation. No outsourcing, no middleman, no guessing about who is responsible for what.
