Good to know

Questions, answered

Do you charge for estimates?+
No. Written estimates for built-ins, trim, doors and commercial millwork are always free, we visit, measure, talk through materials and finishes, and email you a clear, itemized quote with no obligation.
How soon can you start?+
Most estimates go out within a day, and typical projects are scheduled within one to two weeks. For urgent rebuilds, before a move, a sale or an event, just tell us the date and we'll do our best to fit you in.
What does "free estimates" mean?+
Before any work begins, we give you one clear quote to approve, prep, materials and labor included. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons at the end. You always decide before we start.
Will you protect the room while you work?+
Yes. Floor protection down first, plastic where dust could wander, and a vacuum pass that leaves the room cleaner than we found it.
What happens to the offcuts and old wood?+
Hauled the same day, donated or reclaimed where the wood deserves it. No burn pile, no surprise dumpster.
Is the work guaranteed?+
Yes, in writing, joints, hinges and hardware warrantied. If a door we hung ever sticks, we come back first and free.
