Do older Austin homes need different cabinet construction?

Often, yes. Settled floors and bowed walls mean the boxes have to be set on a levelled and scribed base, and face frames or applied ends are used to close variable gaps. This is decided from the site measurements, not assumed from the plan.

Can you match cabinetry to existing trim in a historic Austin home?

Yes. Profiles, stile and rail widths, and reveals can be drawn to match the existing millwork so a new built-in reads as original rather than added.

Do you work directly with designers and builders in Austin?

Yes. Most of the studio's work comes through interior designers, architects, remodelers, and custom builders. We can work from your drawings, or produce shop drawings in Cabinet Vision for your approval before anything is cut.

How are countertops and other trades handled in Austin?

Countertops can be coordinated through qualified surface partners as a separately scoped and quoted item — stone is not fabricated in house — and templating follows cabinet installation. Plumbing, electrical, gas, and other regulated trades keep their own responsibilities; we coordinate dimensions, cutouts, and access with them. See Countertops & Surfaces and Cabinet Finishes.

How do I get a project reviewed?

Send plans, elevations, or photographs of the existing conditions through the project review form. You'll get constructability notes back and a clear statement of what is needed before the scope can be priced.

Building conditions in Austin

Where a house has settled floors or out-of-plumb walls — common considerations in older pier-and-beam construction — the case construction, scribes, and filler strategy are set from site measurements. Where a room is new and square, tighter reveals are possible. Either way, every job is measured on site rather than drawn from a catalog.

If a room has a low ceiling, a tight galley layout, or a mechanical chase in an inconvenient place, custom casework can help reclaim the space — full-height storage that stops cleanly at a soffit, a bank of drawers around a plumbing stack that has to stay, or shelving on an awkward stair landing.
