FAQs

What is custom carpentry?
Custom carpentry refers to unique, hand-crafted wood products, generally including built-ins, furniture, cabinetry, shelving, trim, and other pieces made from wood.

Just how much does custom carpentry cost?
Every project varies in cost. It depends on the size and complexity of what you’re looking for.
 
What are built-ins?
Built-ins are fixtures that permanently stay as part of the structure of a residence. They cannot be moved in most cases. This includes shelving, benches, mantles, kitchen cabinetry, bookshelves and furniture that are permanently affixed into the house.
 
Are built-ins ideal for me?
Built-ins as well as various other personalized woodworking pieces are prominent in every design style, from Craftsman, with its lots of handmade wood elements, to modern with its smooth shelving basically built right into the wall surface. Outside of custom homes, extremely few built-ins typically come standard with a home, which is why individuals often choose to install them as part of a remodel or other home improvement project.

When attempting to determine if built-ins are right for your home, it is necessary to think about a couple of things:
The expense: Depending upon their size and intricacy, built-ins can be pricey, quickly setting you back thousands of bucks. Smart planning and positioning will allow you to get your money's worth. Also, keep in mind that built-ins usually increase the value a residence, which can offset their price down the road
 
Their permanence: Once mounted, built-ins are very challenging to move, so it's vital to think about adjustments that might come in the future that would require you to relocate or alter them. Installing shelving around a TV in may look great now, however what happens if you choose to buy a bigger TV later? Additionally, if you have plans to remodel at some point and change how a certain space is utilized, you will have to decide if you want to leave the built-ins that are there or spend a lot to relocate them
