I have 7 years of experience focused on custom built-in cabinetry. I trained under Master Carpenter Kreg McMahon, whose work was featured in Better Homes & Gardens and on This Old House with Norm Abram. Over several years, I worked alongside Kreg on 150+ projects, learning traditional joinery techniques, advanced cabinet construction methods, and the level of detail that separates furniture-quality work from standard carpentry. Davis Finish & Millwork has completed over 50 projects throughout North Atlanta.

We work with quality hardwoods (oak, maple, poplar) and premium plywood depending on your project needs and budget. All cabinets are built with furniture-grade materials and high-quality hardware designed to last 50+ years.

We mill lumber in-house — jointing and planing rough stock so it's perfectly straight and acclimated to local humidity. This is why our built-ins don't warp, gap, or separate over time. We source materials from specialty suppliers who provide superior products to what you'll find at big-box stores.

Our pricing includes materials, labor, soft-close hardware, LED lighting (when applicable), outlet relocation, crown molding, and professional installation. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Check our Pricing Examples page to see real project costs.

Fair question. Here's what you're actually paying for:

Materials: We use real hardwood and furniture-grade plywood — not particle board or MDF that swells and sags over time. Our cabinets are built to outlast your mortgage.

Fit: IKEA cabinets come in fixed sizes (12", 15", 18", etc.). We build to your exact measurements, so there are no awkward gaps or filler pieces. Everything is custom-fitted to your space.

Construction: IKEA uses cam locks and dowels. We use traditional joinery methods with glue, screws, and dado joints. You can't pull our shelves apart — they're built like furniture.

Longevity: IKEA cabinets last 5-10 years before they start looking tired. Our work lasts 50+ years. Your great-grandkids will use the pantry we build you.

Bottom line: If you're flipping a rental property or need something inexpensive for a few years, IKEA makes sense. If you're building something for your home that you want to hand down to your kids, that's what we specialize in.

Quality craftsmanship isn't cheap, and cheap work isn't quality craftsmanship. We focus on the latter.

Yes! We can match existing wood species, stains, and paint colors. We take samples and work closely with you to ensure seamless integration with your home's existing finishes. Matching existing trim is one of our specialties.

Yes, all our work is backed by a 1-year craftsmanship warranty covering any defects in materials or workmanship. If any issues arise from our installation within the first year, we'll make it right at no additional cost.

Our built-ins are designed and constructed to last 50+ years — meaning they should serve your family for generations without needing repairs or replacement. The 1-year warranty covers our work; the 50+ year lifespan is about the durability of what we build.

We accept cash, check, Zelle, and credit cards. We typically require a 50% deposit to begin your project, with the remaining balance due upon completion. We'll discuss payment details during your consultation.

Yes, we'll need access to the work area during installation days (typically 2-5 days depending on project size). We work clean, use drop cloths, and clean up thoroughly each day. Many clients choose to be home, but it's not required if you're comfortable providing access.
