Step by
Step.
Design & Discovery.
It starts on site. We walk the space with you, take measurements, and look at any drawings, sketches, or inspiration you’ve already started pulling together. Nothing is committed yet — this is the part where the project takes shape.
From there we move into the studio. We build out a full 3D layout, then walk through every meaningful selection together: door profile, finish, specialty pieces, interior fittings and inserts, hardware, and construction type. By the end of this stage, the design is locked, the estimate is firm, and a quote is approved before we cut a single board.

Shop Build.
Every box is precision-cut on our CNC, dadoed, and assembled in-house. We use ¾″ birch plywood carcasses with a fully finished birch interior and soft-close hardware as standard — the details that determine how a cabinet ages over twenty years shouldn’t be the ones you have to ask for.
Each cabinet is glued, clamped, and squared by hand. Face frames (when present) are built from solid wood and pocket-screwed for strength — the kind of detail that disappears once everything is finished, but you feel for years.

- Glued, clamped, squared
- Solid-wood face frames
Finish & Hardware.
Pieces move into the finish room primed first, then assembled at the bench. As the work comes together we paint as needed — touching back into corners, edges, and any detail the first pass missed — sanded between every coat so the surface stays clean.
After the final coat, the parts come back together: hinges, glides, knobs and pulls, and the small handwork that turns a built cabinet into a finished piece. A full in-shop quality check happens before anything leaves the floor.

- Assembled at the bench
- Paint as needed
- Sanded between coats
- Final hardware & handwork
- In-shop quality check
Delivery & Install.
Cabinets are delivered to the home in phases that match the install schedule. The crew protects floors, walls, and trim before anything comes off the truck — the goal is install day looks more like a reveal than a job site.
From there: anchor, level, scribe, hardware mount, and final adjustment. We walk the finished space with you, work through any punch items together, and clean up as we go so the room is ready to use.

- Site protection
- Anchor & level
- Scribe & finish trim
- Final hardware mount
