How a project runs

No surprises, no guesswork, and nothing gets cut before you sign off.

  1. 1

    Site visit & measure

    We come out, look at the space, talk through what you want it to do, and take our own measurements.

  2. 2

    Drawings & written quote

    You get a drawing of what we intend to build and a written quote against it. Changes happen here, on paper, where they are free.

  3. 3

    Built in our shop

    Fabrication and finishing happen in our Orlando shop, which keeps the dust, noise and mess out of your house.

  4. 4

    Install & walkthrough

    We install, scribe and caulk it into the room, then walk it with you and handle the punch list before we leave.

Common questions

Do I need to have a design already?

No. We can build from your drawings if you have them, or work out the design with you from photos and measurements. Either way you approve a drawing before we start cutting.

What does a built-in cost?

Every build is custom, so the price depends on size, materials, finish and how much site work is involved. Send us the space and we will give you a written quote at no charge, so you know the number before you commit.

Do you install, or just build?

Both. We measure, fabricate in our own shop, and install. One point of contact from start to finish.

What areas do you cover?

Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida area. If you are outside it, call and ask — travel depends on the size of the job.

Can you match existing trim or cabinets?

Usually, yes. Send photos of what you are trying to match and we will tell you honestly how close we can get.
