How the work moves
Our custom carpentry process
Good sequencing keeps decisions from colliding with construction. The team defines the work before it starts, then communicates through each phase.
- 01
Measure the room and storage needs
The conversation starts with what must fit, what must be stored, and how the new work should relate to the room.
- 02
Design cabinetry, built-ins and trim details
Dimensions, materials, profiles, hardware, and finish are selected to match the intended use and surrounding architecture.
- 03
Install and finish the custom carpentry
Pieces are installed, aligned, adjusted, and finished so doors, drawers, reveals, and transitions work as intended.

Master Craft and Design helped us relocate a pony wall in our office and extend it to about 8 feet tall to create more privacy in the space. The project gave us exactly what we were looking for, and we really love how the new space turned out. It’s made the office much more functional for our day-to-day work. We’re glad we made the update and appreciate having a more defined, private workspace.

Questions about custom carpentry & cabinetry
Can built-ins match existing trim or cabinetry?
Often. Profile, proportion, material, stain, and paint can be studied so new work relates closely to the surrounding room.
Do you refinish existing cabinets?
Cabinet refinishing is among the services listed by Master Craft & Design. Existing condition and the desired finish determine whether refinishing is the right approach.
Can carpentry be part of a larger remodel?
Yes. Finish carpentry is commonly coordinated with kitchens, bathrooms, basements, doors, flooring, painting, and whole-home work.
Do you take on smaller finish projects?
Project fit depends on current scheduling and scope. Call with the room, measurements, and goal, and the team can let you know whether an in-home visit makes sense.
