WHAT
We build thoughtfully designed luxury cabinetry
A Standard Set in 1876. Still the One We Build To.
Coppes began in Nappanee, Indiana with a simple belief: make work that serves people and stands the test of time. That belief has shaped every decision since: what materials we select, how we cut the joint, how we tune the reveal, how we finish for light and touch and daily use.
Over nearly 150 years, the tools have changed. The machines are more precise. The finishing chemistry is more refined. What hasn't changed is the standard. We still square the box. We still match color batch to batch. We still build every drawer box the same way we built the first one, because the joint that holds after a decade of daily use is the same joint it always was.
Our role has always been partnership. Designers, architects, and builders rely on us to remove friction. Samples arrive quickly. Drawings answer real questions. Communication doesn't leave a project team guessing. When the work reaches the room, it fits. Doors hang true. Color holds. The result feels inevitable in its setting.
That is the promise we keep, project after project.
Five Reasons Professionals Choose Coppes.
Each project that comes through our shop is built on the same five commitments. They are not value statements. They are operating practices.
Precision for Design
Good design fails when fabrication can't hold the line. Coppes builds to engineered tolerances with custom profiles, coordinated dimensions, and documentation that supports clean approvals. Finish samples arrive quickly and match production. Shop drawings reflect actual build conditions. What you specify is what gets built.
Heritage, Mastered
A century and a half of cabinetmaking experience informs every decision: how we cut joinery, how we tune a reveal, how we select materials for stability and longevity. That depth of practice is not replicated in a shorter history. It is earned over generations of building the same way, refining the same details, and holding the same standard.
Partner, Not Vendor
We are not filling an order. We work as an active partner from first sample to final punch. For designers: rapid samples, finish clarity, and design coordination that keeps approvals moving. For architects: technical drawings, resolved integrations, and tolerances documented before fabrication begins. The project doesn't end at delivery. We stay engaged through installation.
Enduring Fit & Finish
Consistent color. Crisp reveals. Smooth operation. These are not inspection checkpoints. They are outcomes of building to a standard, not to a price. Finishes are developed for light, touch, and time. Color is batch-matched across every piece in a project. Hardware is fitted, not forced. The result is cabinetry that performs as well in year ten as it did at installation.
Responsible Craft
Material selection at Coppes is deliberate. We choose hardwoods for stability and performance, not just appearance. Manufacturing practices are designed to minimize waste and use materials efficiently. Building well and building responsibly are not in tension, they reinforce each other. A cabinet built with the right material, cut efficiently, and jointed correctly lasts longer and demands less from the resources that produced it.
Meet THE TEAM
Built by People Who Care Deeply About the Work
PRESIDENT & VISIONARY
Wesley Mast
As President since 2020, Wesley has spent years filling the sales pipeline and partnering with the shop floor to bring each project in accurately and on time. When something is big, new, or broken, he's the one in the room.
Before Coppes, he grew up working in his father's general contracting business, served as a missionary overseas for five years, and earned a degree in ASL interpreting along the way. That background shows up now in how he handles complexity and people in equal measure.
Wesley treats Coppes as his calling to steward for God's glory and honor. His #1 rule in life is to leave everything and everyone better than when he found it or met them.
executive vice president
Malachi Mast
Since 2018, Malachi has acted as Executive Vice President at Coppes Napanee, overseeing production from the ground up, which includes meeting with department leaders, clearing obstacles, and holding every piece to the standard it deserves before it leaves the shop.
He grew up on his father's construction crew, learning early what accurate, quality work demands. That foundation led him toward bespoke homes, and eventually to Coppes, where building something sophisticated by hand is simply the job.
Outside of work, he and his wife are raising their children on a homestead they maintain together.
SALES ACCOUNT MANAGER
Caleb Mast
Caleb joined Coppes Napanee in early 2026 as Sales Account Manager, guiding customers through their designs, pricing, and the parts and warranty logistics that follow a project home.
His path here moved through construction, carpentry, and bespoke cabinetry, with a recent chapter spent as a full-time prison chaplain. That experience shapes how he approaches people now as much as the woodworking itself.
What keeps him here is simple: a love for wood, and for the idea that every project is a unique creation handed off by a designer to be built.
When he's not working, he and his wife Sandra are often traveling and camping with their four children.
We Stand Behind What We Build
Full mortise and tenon joints. Dovetail drawer boxes. Plywood construction throughout. When a cabinet is built to this standard, backing it with a warranty is not a risk. It is a statement of confidence in the work.
COPPES NAPANEE IS A NAME YOU CAN TRUST
What Happens on Site and After Installation.
The measure of this work is not the spec sheet or the sample board. It is the install that goes clean, the schedule that holds, and the cabinetry that still looks right ten years later. Here is what the people on those projects say.
Ready to Work Together?
Whether you are bringing a custom home to completion, guiding a client through finish selections, or building to an exacting specification, we are here to help the work come together cleanly, on schedule, and to the standard it deserves.
