Custom cabinets, trim and furniture

Most of the work is one-off and made to fit a room, a space, or a person. If it's wood and it has to be right, it's worth asking about.

Beds, dressers, nightstands
Benches and stools

How a project runs

No surprises and no deposit taken before you've seen a number.

Talk it through

Call or send a note with rough dimensions and a photo of the space. Most questions get answered the same day.

Measure and quote

For built-ins I measure on site. You get a written price with the wood species, finish and lead time spelled out.

Build and install

Half down to start, balance when it's in place. Furniture gets delivered; built-ins get installed and finished on site.

Tell me what you're after

Rough idea is fine. Dimensions, a photo of the space, or a picture of something you liked — that's usually enough to price it.
