Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t offer catalog pricing, because everything we build is custom. Most of our projects fall in the $5,000 to $10,000+ range. Pricing depends on where your build goes and how large it is, the materials and style you choose, and the type of built-in you’re looking for.

The width of the wall the cabinetry covers, the ceiling height, and the material. Furniture-grade Appalachian hardwoods cost more than premium lacquered composites for painted work. Accessories such as routed 2700K LED strip lighting, fluted trim, brass mesh inlays, Blum soft-close runners, and touch latches each add to the total.

After we measure your room and you approve the design. You get an itemized quote listing every part of the project, so you can see what each choice costs and adjust before anything is built.

A 25% deposit of the approved quote places your project on our schedule once the design, plans and scope are finalized. Before paying, review the drawings and itemized quote so you understand what is included. Your written agreement should also explain the remaining payment schedule and how changes to the approved work are handled.

Send us a photo of the space in your home, along with any inspiration or examples of what you’re looking for, through our contact form. We’ll follow up to plan the project and set up an in-home measurement.

Our custom built-in projects take anywhere from 3 to 10 weeks, depending on the size of the build. All projects are handled in-house, so we give you updates throughout the build process.

Yes. We prepare a 3D design of your built-in so you can review the layout, proportions, and details before anything is cut, and make changes while they’re still easy.

Yes—ask our team which wood, finish and hardware samples are available for your project. Share photos of any flooring, furniture or existing cabinetry you want the new work to complement. Comparing samples alongside those finishes helps you judge the color, grain and sheen before making your final selections. We’ll confirm how to review the available options when arranging your consultation.

We build for living rooms, bedrooms, basements, pantries, laundry rooms, home offices, and more: entertainment centers and media walls, bookcases and home libraries, fireplace built-ins, bourbon display cabinetry, window seats and reading nooks, home office cabinetry, Murphy beds, pantries and kitchen shelving, mudroom lockers and cubbies, closets and wardrobes, living room wall units, basement built-ins, bedroom built-ins, and custom furniture.

Furniture-grade Appalachian hardwoods such as white oak, walnut, cherry, and maple for stained work, premium lacquered composites for painted work, durable catalyzed finishes, and Blum hardware for hinges and drawer runners.

Yes, many clients prefer their built-in to match their existing trim, doors, and cabinetry. We profile your baseboard, casing, and crown on site to match the shape, then match the wood species, stain color, and sheen, which matter just as much.

A useful built-in solves a specific problem while working with the room’s existing features. Start with what you need to store, how you move through the space, and which details you want to keep. For example:

• An older home in Old Louisville: Where closet space is limited, a fitted wardrobe can combine hanging storage, shelves and drawers. Cabinet proportions, door profiles and trim can be planned to complement the existing woodwork.
• A bungalow in the Highlands: Alcoves beside a fireplace can accommodate bookcases with lower cupboards for games, electronics and everyday clutter. The layout should leave room for furniture, walking routes and any required fireplace clearances.
• A ranch-style home in the Anchorage area: A long living-room wall can accommodate low cabinetry or a media wall that brings the television and storage together. Plan cable access, equipment ventilation and useful drawer space alongside the appearance.

Photos of the whole wall and a list of what you want to store help us recommend a practical starting point.

Yes. Many of our builds are tailored to rooms that are already finished: living rooms, basements, offices, and bedrooms. We measure the room as it is, scribe the cabinetry to its walls and floors, and tie it into your existing trim.

Low-voltage LED lighting is planned and wired into the cabinetry as part of the build. New circuits, outlets, or switches behind the wall are done by a licensed electrician.

Cabinetry on its own generally doesn’t need a permit in Jefferson County, while new electrical or plumbing work does, and the licensed trade pulls it. Some small cities, such as Audubon Park, require a permit before construction of any kind, so we check local requirements before work starts.
