No. 05 — How we work

One team from schedule to jobsite.

  • Samples

    Borrow pieces and finish samples to show your client.

  • Matched and quoted

    We match each door, window and cabinet to the right function and finish, then quote every piece.

  • Checked and prepped

    We check handing, backset and prep before anything is ordered, then send prep documents to the door and millwork shops.

  • Packed and labeled

    Every piece is packed and labeled by door, window or room, so the installer knows where it goes.
