The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Built-ins turn awkward alcoves and blank walls into the best part of a room. We measure carefully, design the layout with you, choose materials and a finish, and build the cabinets and shelves so they sit flush to the wall and ceiling.

We can include lighting, outlets, cable chases, doors, drawers and adjustable shelves, and finish with trim that blends with the rest of the room.

Good questions

Custom Built-In Shelving: common questions

How much do custom built-ins cost?

Commonly published ranges run roughly from several hundred to over a thousand dollars per linear foot, depending on materials, doors, drawers and finish. Our Built-In Studio shows a planning range.

Painted or stained?

Painted poplar and plywood are popular and economical, while stained oak or walnut shows grain. We help you choose.
