Book a ConsultationQuality You Can Feel
A photo can’t show you the depth of a hand-wiped glaze or the silky smooth feel of a conversion varnish. Our material consultation brings the showroom experience to you. We educate you on the pros and cons of each option so you can make an investment you will be happy with for decades.
Hardwood Selection
From the distinct grain of Red Oak and Hickory to the subtle elegance of Maple and Cherry, we help you choose the right wood species that fits your aesthetic and budget requirements.
Custom Stains & Glazes
We offer unlimited stain matching. Whether you want to coordinate with existing hardwood floors or create a stunning contrast, our custom color capabilities ensure a perfect hue.
Durable Paints
Painted cabinets are timeless. We use industrial-grade coatings that resist chipping, yellowing, and moisture, available in any color from major paint manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore.
Why Expert Advice Matters
Not all finishes are created equal. Using the wrong product in a high-moisture area like a bathroom or a high-traffic zone like a kitchen can lead to failure. We ensure you select materials that are specifically engineered for the environment they will live in.
We also look at the "whole picture," coordinating your cabinet finish with countertops, backsplashes, and flooring for a cohesive interior design.
Exotic Veneers
For contemporary European styles, we source premium wood veneers that offer consistent grain patterns and sleek, flat-panel aesthetics not always possible with solid wood.
Distressing & Antiquing
Add instant age and character with hand-applied distressing techniques. We can simulate wormholes, wear-through, and patina to give new cabinets an authentic obsession of history.
Laminates & Thermofoils
For budget-friendly, high-durability options, we offer modern textured laminates (TFL) and thermofoils that mimic the look of real wood or high-gloss paint but are easy to clean and scratch-resistant.
Our Consultation Process
Needs Assessment
We start by discussing how the space will be used. Do you have pets? Young children? High grease cooking? These factors heavily influence our material recommendations.
Sample Presentation
We present a curated selection of wood samples and color chips based on your style preferences. We view them in your home's lighting conditions to ensure the color reads correctly.
Custom Match (Optional)
If you have a specific inspiration piece or want to match existing furniture, we create a custom sample door for your approval. This ensures the final product is exactly what you envisioned.
Final Specification
We document your choices in detail, including sheen level, distressing options, and profiles, creating a clear specification for our shop to execute flawlessly.
