Process

Measure twice. We mean it.

  1. Site visit

    We come out, measure and listen. You get a rough figure the same week.

  2. Drawings

    Full-size details before a single cut, so nothing gets guessed in the shop.

  3. Build

    Everything is made here and dry-fitted before it leaves the bench.

  4. Install

    We fit it ourselves, scribe it to your walls and sweep up afterwards.
