Hi, I’m Mike Buss. I started Buss Custom Cabinetry right here in the Syracuse area because I believe our local homes deserve better than mass-produced, one-size-fits-all furniture. I’ve always been drawn to the honest work of building things by hand. There is something incredibly rewarding about taking raw, high-quality wood and engineering it into a permanent fixture that solves a real problem for a family. I didn't want to just assemble factory parts; I wanted to create custom cabinets the traditional way—with exact joinery, durable finishes, and an uncompromising attention to detail. For me, woodworking is about creating spaces that are built to last generations and perfectly fit the lives of the people using them.
What We Build
Every house has its own unique footprint and daily challenges, which is why everything that leaves my shop is completely custom. My core focus includes:
• Custom Mudrooms: Heavy-duty, beautiful drop zones designed to handle the chaos of Central New York winters—complete with bench seating, cubbies, and hidden storage.
• Built-In Bookshelves & Cabinetry: Seamless living room, library, or home office built-ins that look like they were part of the home's original architectural blueprints.
• Walk-In Closets: Highly functional, tailored storage solutions that bring permanent order to your morning routine.
• Murphy Beds: Clever, space-saving designs that allow a guest room to effortlessly double as a fully functional home office or gym.
Let's Build Something Together
You don't need to have a perfect set of blueprints or a finalized design to reach out. Whether you know exactly what you want, or you just have a blank wall, a frustratingly cluttered space, and a few rough ideas—I want to hear from you.
We can look at the space together, bounce around some concepts, and dream up the perfect cabinet design solution for your home.
If you're in the Greater Syracuse area and have a project in mind, let's connect. That communication and transparency are key to a successful project. That's why we work closely with you throughout the entire process to ensure that your custom cabinets are exactly what you want. We are always available to answer any questions you may have.
