Millwork Shop San Francisco
Custom architectural woodwork and casework for over 18 years. From crown moulding to built-in shelving, we create millwork that transforms Bay Area homes.
What Is a Millwork Shop?
A millwork shop is where custom wood pieces are designed, built, and finished before installation. Unlike carpentry done on-site, millwork happens in a controlled workshop where precision is easier to achieve.
We handle everything from crown moulding and baseboards to complex casework and wall panels. Each piece is built to your exact specifications, using quality materials and professional finishes that last.
With 40 years of woodworking experience, we work with architects, interior designers, and contractors who need millwork that fits the first time. No guessing. No gaps. No callbacks.

Shop Drawings First
Before we build any millwork, we create detailed shop drawings (planitos). These precise technical drawings show:
✓ Exact dimensions of your space
✓ Location of electrical outlets and switches
✓ Placement of shelves, drawers, and doors
✓ Hardware specifications
✓ Finish details
You review these drawings and request changes. Most clients go through 2-3 rounds of revisions. It's much easier to adjust a drawing than to rebuild a cabinet.
