Custom Cabinetry & Built-Ins

We maintain relationships with several exceptional fabricators — selecting the right partner based on the specific requirements of each project. Our criteria are uncompromising: precision construction, premium materials, and flawless finishes.

Yes. We frequently design new cabinetry and millwork that seamlessly integrates with existing architectural elements — matching profiles, proportions, and finish qualities to create a cohesive result.

Custom cabinetry typically requires 8 to 14 weeks from approved shop drawings through delivery, depending on complexity and the fabricator's schedule. We factor these lead times into the project timeline from the outset to prevent construction delays.

Inset cabinetry features doors and drawers set within the face frame — requiring extraordinary precision in fabrication and producing a refined, furniture-like appearance. Overlay cabinetry sits on top of the frame. We primarily specify inset and beaded inset construction for the level of craftsmanship our clients expect.

Absolutely. Custom millwork exists precisely for this purpose — transforming awkward alcoves, under-stair areas, and irregular spaces into beautifully resolved, highly functional storage. Some of our most celebrated pieces are designed for spaces that standard cabinetry could never address.

Custom cabinetry is priced by linear foot, species, joinery method, and finish, and inset construction in a painted hardwood typically carries a meaningful premium over overlay. Because millwork scope varies so widely between a single built-in wall and a whole-home program, we provide a project-specific range after reviewing plans rather than publishing a flat rate.

In a $2M-plus residence, custom millwork is usually the decision clients regret least. It resolves ceiling heights, wall irregularities, and appliance dimensions exactly, uses joinery and hardware built to last decades, and reads as architecture rather than furniture — none of which semi-custom lines can reliably deliver.

Painted hard maple and poplar for inset painted work, rift-sawn white oak for stained and cerused pieces, and walnut for feature libraries, wet bars, and islands. Finishes are conversion varnish or catalyzed lacquer for durability, with hand-applied stain and glaze programs where a warmer, less uniform surface is wanted.

Yes. Pulls, knobs, hinges, integrated lighting, panel-ready appliances, and interior fittings are specified as one package alongside the millwork drawings, then coordinated with the builder and electrician so rough-ins land correctly before cabinetry arrives on site.
