About this service
Custom built-in furniture that transforms dead space into purpose. We design and build libraries, entertainment centers, banquettes, window seats, and display cases tailored to your room's exact dimensions and your life's exact needs. Every built-in is crafted in our shop and installed as a single, seamless piece that looks like it was always part of the home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical built-in project take?
From initial measurement to final installation, most built-in projects take 4-8 weeks. Complex library walls or multi-room projects may take 10-12 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline at the estimate stage.
What materials do you use for built-ins?
We work in hardwoods (walnut, white oak, maple, cherry), paint-grade poplar and MDF, and veneered substrates. Material selection depends on the design, budget, and whether the piece will be painted or show natural grain.
Can you match existing millwork in a pre-war apartment?
Absolutely. Matching existing profiles is one of our specialties. We pull the existing molding profile, have custom knives ground if needed, and mill new pieces that are indistinguishable from the original.
