Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in custom woodworking and fabrication for small businesses — mobile bars, coffee carts, serving stands, snack carts, and similar builds. We also take on custom fabrication projects outside of our standard lineup. If you have something specific in mind, reach out and we'll let you know if it's a fit.

No — everything we build is made to order. We do not keep any inventory. Our DIY Flat Pack ships in 1–2 weeks, and all other builds are made to your specifications after your order is placed.

Size is personal preference, but here's what we've found works well in practice:

• 4ft and 5ft — easy to set up solo
• 5ft and 6ft — ideal if two people will be working the bar or cart
• 6ft — manageable by one person most of the time
• 7ft — typically requires two people
• 8ft or larger — we recommend splitting into two smaller pieces; large single units are cumbersome to transport and set up

We suggest laying out a measuring tape in your space to get a feel for the footprint before deciding.

We work primarily with Baltic birch for the structure and hard maple for trim and edging. For builds that include metalwork details, we partner with a local vendor and provide a separate quote for that portion of the work.

Start by emailing us at info@ridgecraftshops.com — we're happy to help you think through what would work best for your space and use case. Custom Elite customers also get a 45-minute design consult with Sam as part of the process.

Visit our Start Here page to learn about our build tiers and find the right fit for your project. When you're ready, submit the order form and we'll be in touch within one business day to confirm your details and get your estimate started.

Lead times vary by tier:

• DIY Flat Pack — ships in 1–2 weeks
• Semi-Custom — 8–10 weeks from deposit
• Custom Elite — 12–16 weeks from deposit

We'll confirm your estimated completion date when we send your estimate.

Add-ons are optional upgrades you can include with your Semi-Custom or Custom Elite build — things like sinks, plumbing, ice wells, LED lighting, side extensions, speed rails, and awnings. All add-ons are priced separately and included in your estimate before you commit. You're also welcome to source your own equipment — just give us the dimensions for any cutouts needed.

Changes after an order is placed require a Change Order. There is a $50 flat fee plus any additional material and labor costs. Changes during active production may not always be possible. We ask that all specs are confirmed before your project agreement is signed — that's the best way to avoid delays and extra costs.

Base pricing covers the structure, white paint for the base panels, a standard stain for the countertop, labor, materials, and custom cutouts. Finishing upgrades, add-ons, and any customizations beyond our standard options are quoted separately.

We use a three-milestone payment structure:

• 45% deposit — due after your project agreement is signed; locks your production slot
• 35% progress payment — due when your build enters active production
• 20% final payment — due at pickup or before shipping

We accept all major credit cards, checks, ACH transfer, and cash (local pickup only). All invoices are sent through QuickBooks Payments. We do not offer payment plans.

We do not offer refunds. We stand behind the quality of our work — if there's an issue with craftsmanship or materials, we'll work with you to make it right. Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Yes — we ship within the U.S. and Canada. Each build is carefully custom crated and freight shipped. Shipping costs range from $500–$1,000 depending on the size of the build and destination. We can also arrange local delivery within Southern California at $2.50/mile round trip.
