Exterior Pivot Door

We are used to getting unique requests from our customers and we love working on unique projects. We were already working on an interesting project for a customer who is a well known architect when he showed us his idea and design for a very modern styled new exterior door. We were very reluctant at first having never built anything like this but decided to take it on at the insistence of our customer. The door is 5 feet wide and fit into an opening that previously housed a standard 36 inch wide door with 2 sidelights. The door was constructed using clear Vertical Grain Douglas Fir lumber. The pivot point for this door is 12 inches in from the left. The installation went smoothly, our customer was thrilled and we were able to work on something we had never even seen before. We also replaced the garage door using the existing hardware to match the door.

Painted Wall Unit

This built-in was installed in New Jersey. As we often do when incorporating TV's into built in cabinets we hung this TV on a wall mount bracket. The area behind the TV acts as a wiring chase. We snaked all of the speaker wires behind the cabinet to hide them and we were even able to send the cable line - which was a cross the room - under the flooring and into the cabinetry. The crown molding was tied into the existing molding in the room.

Faux Finish Entertainment Center

This unique custom cabinet received a painted finish and then was slightly distressed and glazed for a "faux" finish. The TV was hung on a wall mount bracket which was in turn mounted onto a false back. Behind the back was plenty of room for all of the wiring for the TV along with the wiring for the four LED lights. The dimmable LED lights are operable via remote control. The shelf above the TV is easily removable for access to all of the wiring.

Cabinets With Inset Doors

These cabinets were installed in a dining room in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia. There were two alcoves on either side of the fireplace and we carefully measured and designed our cabinets to fit perfectly into the spaces. This give a truly "built-in" look. The wider side received a china cabinet for display complete with remote controlled dimmer lights. The narrower alcove received what will essentially be used as a closet - hooks on the interior for kids jackets and book bags and two large drawers for hats, gloves, boots and whatever else can fit in there! We used inset doors and drawers for this as opposed to the standard "overlay" style. We had a lot of fun building and installing this!

Collection of Custom Doors

We love building and installing custom interior and exterior doors! Through expert woodworking we can either match an existing door or advise you on historically accurate doors for your home if the originals no longer exist. If you are adventurous you can let you imagination run wild - case in point our recent 60 inch wide pivot door designed by the homeowner/architect.

Cherry Cabinet

We built and installed this cabinet in a 250 year old house in chestnut hill. We made this to fit perfectly into a small alcove and incorporated a large cornice at the top of the unit with a vent to allow airflow from the existing ceiling vent. We had a lot of fun working on this!

Contemporary Bookshelves

We built and installed this shelving unit in a home in the Grey's Ferry neighborhood. The home had been remodeled with a very modern interior and we designed these shelves to fit in that theme.

Library

This is was an extra room we turned into a library. In order to use as much space as possible we constructed "L" shaped bookshelves and covered as much wall space as possible with shelving. We custom made the baseboard to match the existing and tied it all together for a truly "built-in" look.

Double Sided Built-In Room Divider

This is a "Double Sided" built-in unit designed to function as a room divider. The unit was installed in a remodeled basement. One side faces the kids play area with plenty of storage while the other faces the TV area with glass display cabinets. The column on the end hides a steel structural support.

Home Office

This is a project we worked on in Chestnut Hill. We used plain sliced maple plywood and finished with a dye stain/water based top coat mix. The doors and drawer fronts received a 1/8 inch black inlay with 1/2 inch squares. Lots of storage cubbies, lighting and even "secret" doors. This was a very fun project we were very happy to be a part of.

Built In with Corner Cabinet

This is a project we worked on in South Philadelphia. Fluted face frames, arched top rails, raised panel doors and crown molding. We tied the units into the existing baseboard and chair rail. The units were primed and received one coat of paint at the shop and a final coat was applied after installation.

Bamboo Shelves & Cabinets

This is a project we worked on in Northern Liberties recently that we were really excited about. It consisted of floating shelves, paneling, columns, bookshelves, cabinets and 24 inch deep cabinets for hanging clothes. All made out of bamboo plywood. Everyone involved with this project were thrilled with how it turned out and we are looking forward to using bamboo again in the near future.
