Closet systems

Hanging, shelving and drawers built in rather than bought in, so the full width and height of the closet is actually used.

Cabinets and built-ins on one of our Chicago jobs

Why this is worth doing properly

Square cabinet boxes rarely meet square rooms. We level the run, scribe fillers to the walls and align doors and panels so the installation looks built for your space.

What you get from us

  • 01

    Your trim should fit the wall

    A wide bead of caulk shrinks, cracks and shows. We scribe the woodwork to the wall, then use caulk only to close the hairline that remains.

  • 02

    Your inside corners should stay closed

    An inside miter opens as the house moves through a Chicago winter. A coped joint closes on itself, keeping the corner tight instead of exposing a crack.

  • 03

    New work should match the house

    Many Chicago homes use trim profiles no longer found at a lumberyard. We match the existing profile, or tell you plainly when the nearest stock option will look wrong.

  • 04

    Small jobs are welcome

    One door, one railing, one room of trim. We quote the smaller jobs most carpenters pass over, and give them the same attention as a full-house trim package.
