Trade partners

For contractors and interior architects.

We know what wrecks a site schedule: drawings missing scribe details, an uncoordinated rough-in, a late delivery.

01

Point cloud scans on site

We measure framing and drywall before the mechanicals close up, so wall plumb, ceiling crown and floor deflection are known numbers.

02

Submittal sets with scribe allowances

Cut lists, fastener specs, electrical chase routes and an explicit half-inch scribe strip on every outer pilaster.

03

White-glove install or crated delivery

Our team installs, or you get assembly guides and labeled hardware packs for your own finish carpenters.

Materials

Hardwoods and finishes we keep in the shop.

Certified domestic lumber, dried to 6 to 8 percent moisture for a Midwest interior.

White oak, quarter and rift
Straight grain, high structural density. The choice for long-span shelving and dining tops that get used.
American black walnut
Air-dried Midwestern stock with deep chocolate undertones and no sapwood on a visible face frame.
Machined solid brass
Unlacquered architectural hardware, turned in house or from domestic machine shops.
Soap and hardwax oils
Zero VOC, food safe, and repairable in place without sanding the whole surface back.
