What's Included

Every Built-In Project Comes With This.

Real Hardwood, Not MDF

We build solid wood doors over furniture-grade plywood boxes. We use maple, cherry, walnut, and white oak.

Soft-Close Hardware Standard

We install premium Blum hinges and full-extension drawer glides on every cabinet without added upcharges.

Your Choice of Door Reveal

We craft full overlay, partial overlay, and inset doors. We match the reveal to your home architecture.

Storage Built Around You

We integrate pull-out trash bins, spice organizers, and appliance garages directly into your layout.

Hand-Sprayed Finishes

We apply custom paint, rich stains, or clear lacquer. Our team finishes every surface in a dust-free spray booth.

Built to Last Decades

We use precision dovetail joinery for every drawer box. Our team brings twenty years of craftsmanship to your project.

Craftsmanship in Detail

Joinery You Can Feel.

Our carpenters scribe custom built-in cabinetry directly to your home walls and baseboards. We cut traditional crown mouldings and fluted casing on site. We conceal audiovisual wiring raceways within the casework for a clean aesthetic.

✓
Built to Your Exact Built-in Dimensions
Every built-in is sized precisely to your space — zero fillers, zero wasted inches.
✗
One-Size Catalog Sizing
Stock cabinets come in fixed modular widths. Your room gets awkward fillers and wasted wall space.
✓
Genuine Hardwood, Inside and Out
No veneer-over-chipboard shortcuts — your built-in is solid hardwood from the frame to the face.
✗
Laminate Over Particleboard
What looks like wood is often a laminate wrap over a core that cannot survive a real spill.
✓
Your Choice of Style & Finish
Select Shaker, inset, or raised panels in any finish. We match any custom stain or paint color.
✗
Pick From a Short List
A limited run of finishes means your real preference often is not even an option.
✓
No Slamming, No Exceptions
Blum soft-close glides and hinges come on every door and drawer in your built-in, at no extra cost.
✗
Pay More for Soft-Close
Soft-close is usually a paid upgrade on stock lines, and not every size or style even offers it.
✓
Professional Built-in Installation Included
Installation is included for your built-in — our team levels, secures, and finishes it the same day.
✗
Assembly Is Your Problem
Stock pieces ship flat. You either pay an installer separately or spend the weekend building it yourself.
