About Fourlakes Design Build
Third-generation carpenters with a shop full of white oak
Our grandfather, Art Vosskuhler, built lake cottages on Monona in the fifties. Our father trimmed houses across the isthmus for forty years. In 2011, we, Erin and Ted, sister and brother, put the family trade under one roof on Atwood Ave and added the piece the family always wished it had: a real cabinet shop.
Fourlakes stays small on purpose: around fourteen people, roughly twenty projects a year. Small enough that one of our names is on every drawing set, and the person who designed your kitchen has sawdust from it on their boots.
The shop is the heart of the thing. It is why our built-ins fit, why our trim matches houses older than our grandfather, and why we will put a client in front of their own half-finished cabinets. Come by. We will put the coffee on.

“The island panels shifted over the winter, exactly like they warned us they might. They came back in February and fixed it without being asked twice. Who does that?”
“We interviewed four firms. Fourlakes was the only one that told us our budget would not cover our wish list, then showed us which two-thirds of it mattered.”
“Friday, 4pm, every week: photos and a plan. I never once called to ask what was happening in my own house.”
“Standing in their shop next to our half-built cabinets was the moment this stopped feeling like a leap of faith.”
“The addition matches so well that our neighbor of nine years asked if we had repainted. That is it. That is the review.”
“They published what our project cost on their website. Every contractor pretends prices are secrets; these guys put them on the internet.”
