Here are five things to consider where custom cabinetry and interior details matter most.

 

Attention to detail starts before a project even begins. Every project detail should be meticulously planned prior to any manufacture or installation of cabinetry and architectural millwork. Design, engineering, drafting and layout play important roles in the careful planning of a custom project. Make sure the company you work with is ready and able to solve even the most challenging problems. An interactive collaboration between the design team and homeowner is vital to a successful outcome. This ensures timely installation of the millwork with surgical precision and no hidden surprises or costly overruns. Get the details nailed right from the start!

 

Selection of the finest quality materials should be matched and balanced for your project. Use Grade AA or A lumber that is individually selected for its beauty, consistency, and flawlessness. Although most custom cabinet makers will specify high-quality materials, look closely how they match and balance veneers with solid wood so the look is seamless and natural.

 

Hand sanding and scuffing all wood surfaces a minimum of five times before applying an enduring finish to provide that rich, satin feel. Not just the surfaces you can touch but every piece of wood – moldings, doors, corbels, panels, running trim, and every millwork component. Yes, this is a lot of sanding but worth it!

 

Every piece of molding, cabinetry, and casing should be scribed for a perfect fit and appear as if the wood grew out from the walls. Scribing is a technique that requires great skill by an experienced master craftsman. Make sure your cabinetry and millwork fits like a glove.
