How do I get a quote?

Send a request through the form or call us. We visit the home, discuss the project and provide a written estimate.

Do you work with builders and designers?

Yes. We work with homeowners, builders, architects and interior designers on new construction and renovations.

How tall should crown molding be?

A common guide is about one inch of height for every foot of ceiling height, but proportion also depends on the room and the surrounding trim. We mock up profiles with you before we build.

What is the difference between built-ins and cabinets?

Built-ins are made-to-measure for a specific wall or nook and are trimmed into the room’s architecture, so they sit flush to walls and ceilings with no gaps.

Can you hide all the cables?

Yes. We build wire chases and recessed outlets behind the TV and into the console so nothing is visible.

Can you build around an existing bed?

Yes. We measure your bed and furniture so the built-ins are sized for what you own.

What height should wainscoting be?

Traditional wainscot is about one third of the wall height, but we adjust for window sills, rails and the ceiling height.

What ceiling height is needed for a coffered ceiling?

Coffers work best with nine-foot or taller ceilings, but shallow designs can work at eight feet. We will tell you what suits your room.

Are the beams structural?

Our box beams are decorative. They are hollow and fixed to blocking, and can wrap existing structural members.

What is the most popular feature wall style?

Slat and fluted panel walls are very popular right now, though traditional panel details remain a timeless choice.

Do you work with builders and designers?

Yes. We collaborate on new construction and renovation projects with builders, architects and interior designers.
