Hello and Welcome!
We’re Allen and Rachel Chin. In 2021, we traded Washington’s rain for the open beauty of Idaho and built Good Shepherd Home around what matters most to us: meaningful craftsmanship, thoughtful work, and homes that truly support the people living inside them. We made the move with our two children, our mini Goldendoodle, Cooper, and Biscuit, our Holland lop bunny. Our home is full, lively, and very real, and that lived experience shapes the way we think about the work we do.
With over a decade of hands-on experience in residential construction, remodeling, and home improvement, Good Shepherd Home is rooted in the belief that the details matter. Custom cabinetry, built-ins, finish carpentry, millwork, and thoughtfully executed improvements have a way of giving a home both character and permanence.
We’re drawn to work that is simple, well considered, and built to last. A beautifully fitted cabinet, carefully crafted built-in, or precisely finished piece of trim can change the way a space feels without overwhelming it. Our approach is intentional, practical, and grounded in quality craftsmanship.
Whether it’s a single custom piece or a larger home improvement project, we believe good work should feel natural within the home, function beautifully, and stand the test of time.
If you have an idea for your home and are looking for someone to build it with care, we’d love to start the conversation.
Services we offer
Craftsmanship and custom build
There is something meaningful about creating something specifically for a space and the people who live in it. From custom cabinetry and built-ins to one-of-a-kind pieces, we focus on thoughtful construction, quality materials, and the details that make a piece feel as though it has always belonged there.
Finish carpentry and millwork
The details of a home often have the greatest impact. Thoughtfully crafted trim, doors, wall treatments, paneling, and millwork can add warmth, character, and a sense of permanence to a space. We approach each detail with care, creating work that feels natural to the home and built to last.
remodel and home improvements
Not every transformation requires a complete renovation. Sometimes the right changes are the ones that make a home function better, feel more finished, and better reflect the people who live there. We focus on thoughtful improvements, quality craftsmanship, and the details that bring a space together.
Our
company ethos
We believe that every home, no matter its size, holds the potential to become a place of comfort, beauty, and belonging. Our understanding of this began with our own family and the experience of raising a child with special needs. We have seen firsthand how the spaces around us can shape the way we live, gather, rest, and find a sense of peace.
“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.”
— Proverbs 24:3–4
Guided by this truth, we believe a home should be thoughtfully built, cared for, and made to serve the people who live in it. Whether through custom cabinetry, careful carpentry, or thoughtful improvements, we approach our work with intention, respect, and a commitment to craftsmanship that will endure.
Our hope is to create work that feels natural within a home, beautiful without being excessive, functional without sacrificing character, and made to be lived with for years to come.
