What we build

Built-ins for every room in your home

Every piece is designed for one wall in one home, then built in our Arlington shop and installed to sit flush, level, and finished.

📺

Media Walls & Entertainment Centers

Living-room built-ins that hide wiring and components behind clean, custom cabinetry and open display shelving.

📚

Bookcases & Display Shelving

Floor-to-ceiling bookcases and floating shelves scaled to your ceiling height and styled to your room.

💻

Home Office & Library Built-Ins

Desks, credenzas, and full wall libraries that turn a spare room into a working, finished space.

🪑

Window Seats & Bench Storage

Bench seating with hidden storage that makes a bay window or nook the best seat in the house.

🧷

Mudroom & Entry Built-Ins

Lockers, cubbies, and drop zones that keep the busiest door in the house organized.

🔥

Fireplace Surrounds & Niche Built-Ins

Flanking cabinetry and mantels that frame a fireplace and add storage where there was none.

How it works

From your wall to finished built-in

01

In-Home Built-In Design Consultation

We measure the space, learn how you live in it, and talk through what the built-in needs to do.

02

3D Built-In Renderings & Materials

You see the design before we cut a board, and choose woods, finishes, and hardware together.

03

Built in our Arlington shop

Your piece is built by our own carpenters with real joinery, not flat-pack panels.

04

Precise Custom Built-In Installation

We install flush and level, scribe to your walls, and leave the space clean and finished.

Why Arlington homeowners choose us

One team, from first sketch to final coat

A lot of "built-ins" are ordered from a catalog and dropped into place. Ours are drawn for your room, built in our own shop, and installed by the people who made them, so the fit and the finish match.

  • Named Remodeler of the Year 2025, with 14+ years across the DFW metroplex
  • Estate-level craftsmanship and materials, matched to your existing millwork
  • One point of contact from design through installation, no subcontracted handoffs

Questions

Custom built-ins, answered

Q. How long does a built-in project take?

Most built-ins are designed, built, and installed within a few weeks. Timeline depends on the size of the piece, the finish, and your material selections, which we confirm at your consultation.

Q. What does a custom built-in cost?

Because every built-in is made for a specific wall, we quote each project after an in-home consultation. Your estimate reflects the size, materials, hardware, and finish you choose, with no surprises after.

Q. Do you design as well as build?

Yes. Design, build, and installation are all handled by our own team, so the piece you approve in the rendering is the piece we install.

Q. Will it match my existing trim and cabinets?

We scribe and finish each built-in to blend with your room's millwork, so it reads as part of the house rather than furniture set against a wall.

Q. Which areas do you serve?

Our shop is in Arlington and we build for homeowners across the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex.
