How the shop works, and
what to expect.

Custom architectural millwork for homes. Paneled rooms and wainscoting, fireplace walls and mantels, coffered ceilings and beams, arched and cased openings, columns and pilasters, custom and period-correct mouldings, and built-ins. If it is fine interior woodwork that has to fit the house, it is what the shop does.
Layout. Most trim is nailed up in stock sizes with no plan behind it. Here each wall is measured and laid out first, so panels, casings, and crown fit the room and each other, following the classical rules of proportion. Profiles are chosen to suit the period of the house, whether Federal, Georgian, or Greek Revival, using lines like WindsorONE or milled to order.
Yes. Bookcases, library walls, and media walls are built in the shop the same way as the rest of the millwork, and they often go in alongside paneling or a fireplace wall as part of the same room.
Casing, base, and crown are normally done as part of a room, so everything is proportioned together. Trim-only projects are taken on when a house calls for period-correct work or a full change of profile.
Yes. Existing wood species, stains, and paint can be matched. If a profile is no longer made, a custom knife is ground to reproduce it exactly, the same way historic homes are restored. There is almost no profile that cannot be made.
Yes. Millwork is built to a designer's or architect's drawings, and short runs of custom mouldings and shop-built parts are available to the trade. Send a drawing or a sample through the consultation form.
North Atlanta, including Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Buckhead, Canton, and the areas nearby. Send the location through the site to confirm.
Through the consultation form on this site. Describe the rooms and what you have in mind, add a few photos if you can, and a time will be set to see the space in person.
Every project is quoted for the room itself, not from a menu. After a consultation you receive a fixed price and a clear description of the work. Once it is approved and the deposit is placed, detailed layout and shop work begin. Fine millwork has far more variables than a standard remodel, so ballpark numbers are not given before the space has been seen.
A 50% deposit reserves a place on the schedule and covers materials. Larger projects are billed in stages as each phase is completed, with the final balance due when the project is finished. Cash, check, and Zelle are accepted.
In the shop wherever possible. Paneling, wainscot frames, mantels, mouldings, and built-ins are milled and assembled in the Canton shop and delivered ready to install, which keeps dust and noise out of the home. Fitting, scribing, and final finish happen on site.
Paint-grade work is finished in place after installation, so the seams, caulk lines, and reveals disappear into one continuous coat. Stain-grade work is finished in the shop from a sample approved in the home.
Yes. All work is backed by a one year craftsmanship warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship.
