Floor-to-ceiling shelves and cabinets built around windows, fireplaces and alcoves, so every inch earns its place.
Built-ins are the signature of a well-finished house. They turn blank walls and awkward alcoves into display space, storage and architecture. Done properly, they look like they were part of the original design.
We design shelves with the right depth and spacing for books, art and everyday items, add cabinets below for hidden storage, include picture lighting or outlets where needed and scribe each unit tightly to the wall and ceiling. We build in painted or stained finishes to match your trim. Before we build, we sketch the wall and mark the layout with tape so you can see the shelf heights and cabinet widths in the room. Small adjustments at that stage make a large difference in how the finished unit looks and works.
Shelf heights, face frame widths and cabinet depths affect the look as much as the finish. We draw elevations so you can see the proportions before building.
Walls and ceilings are rarely straight. We scribe the units to the walls and run crown and base trim to match, so the built-in looks original.
Integrated LED strips, picture lights and hidden outlets make a built-in more useful. We plan wiring with your electrician.
Painted built-ins need smooth, durable paint. We prepare and spray or brush a hard finish that resists chips and wear.
