About This Service

Walls Turned Into Storage

A good built-in never looks bolted on. It looks like the house was built around it. That's the difference between off-the-shelf furniture and real built-in cabinetry design — we scribe every cabinet to your actual walls and ceiling height, tie the crown and base trim into your existing millwork, and finish it to match the room, not fight it. If you're comparing options, the National Kitchen & Bath Association has good background on what separates true custom cabinetry from stock pieces.

We build fireplace cabinet surrounds, library wall cabinets, window seats, mudroom benches and entertainment center cabinetry — each one sized and designed for the exact room it's going into. Many clients pair a built-in project with our designer cabinetry work elsewhere in the home, or add a custom home bar to the same room.

What's Included

Every Built-In Project Comes With This.

Scribed To Your Walls

No real house has perfectly square corners. We fit every panel to your actual walls, floor and ceiling so there's no gap, no filler strip, no wobble.

Fireplace Cabinet Surrounds

Flanking cabinets and a mantel shelf that frame the hearth, hide the cable box and look like they were part of the original build.

Library Wall Cabinets

Floor-to-ceiling bookcase cabinets with adjustable shelf pins and an optional rolling ladder rail for taller walls.

Window Seat Storage

Cushioned bench tops over hinged or drawer storage, sized to fit your actual window bay, not a standard box width.

Entertainment Center Cabinetry

Vented, cable-managed cabinets built around your TV and components, with doors that soft-close and hide the clutter.

Trim Matched To Your Home

Crown and base molding run continuously from your existing trim onto the cabinet, so the millwork reads as one piece.

Craftsmanship in Detail

Joinery You Can Feel.

Pull open a drawer on one of our built-ins and you'll feel it right away — dovetail joinery, soft-close hardware, and a hand-sprayed finish with no brush marks. We've been building custom cabinetry in Indianapolis since 2004, and we build every bookcase, surround and entertainment wall from solid maple, walnut, oak or cherry, never particleboard. For more on how solid hardwood performs over time, the Hardwood Manufacturers Association keeps a good library at hardwoodinfo.com.

Every Cabinet is Backed by Our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee

Solid Wood Construction

We never use hollow particleboard or cheap MDF box construction. Every cabinet that leaves our shop is built from premium hardwood and furniture-grade plywood.

Soft-Close on Every Door

Premium Blum soft-close hinges and drawer slides are standard on every single cabinet — not an upgrade, not an add-on. Silent. Smooth. For life.

Free Adjustments for Life

Houses settle. Seasons change. If any door or drawer needs adjusting years down the road, we come back and make it right — free of charge, no questions asked.

Our Process

From First Measurement to Install Day.

01
In-Home Measure

We walk your room, measure the walls, outlets and trim, and talk through how you'll actually use the space. No cost, no pressure.

02
Design & 3D Render

Our in-house designer drafts your built-in cabinetry design and renders it so you can see the finished wall before we cut any wood.

03
Wood & Finish Selection

Choose maple, walnut, oak or cherry, plus door style and stain, from real samples held up in your home's own light.

04
Built In Our Workshop

Our shop builds your bookcase, surround or media wall from solid hardwood and furniture-grade plywood — never particleboard.

05
Hand-Sprayed Finish

Every piece is sprayed in our dust-free finishing booth, then inspected by hand before it ever leaves the shop.

06
Scribed-In Installation

Our install team sets, levels and scribes each cabinet to your walls, then trims it in and walks the room with you.

Frequently Asked

Questions, Answered.

Don't see your question? We'd love to talk it through over a free in-home consultation.

Ask Us Directly
Can you build a fireplace cabinet surround around an active fireplace?

Yes. We keep code-required clearances from the firebox and use non-combustible backing material wherever the cabinet sits near heat, so your fireplace cabinet surround is safe and still looks seamless.

Will installing built-in cabinetry damage my walls?

No. We remove the existing trim carefully, scribe the new cabinet to your actual drywall and framing, then reinstall matching trim so the wall looks finished, not patched.

How long does a custom built-in storage project take?

Most built-in bookcase cabinets, entertainment walls and window seats are designed, built and installed in 4 to 8 weeks from the day you approve the design.

Can library wall cabinets hold heavy books?

Yes. Every shelf in our library wall cabinets is built to carry full hardcover loads, with hidden steel or wood reinforcement added on longer spans so shelves don't sag over time.
