In our commercialized culture, it's normal to accept whatever is on offer. But in your home, especially in older homes, that can feel like a compromise. It's as if you didn't quite get it right. Why not get it right? We specialize in designing elegantly well-fitted kitchens, bathrooms, and built-in structures that meet the contours of your home and your imagination.
Dream it. We can design it. Does an education in German cabinetmaking really make that much difference? It does, enough that we have founded our business on that very difference. It's a refined approach to design and proportion. It's an obsession with quality - every cut, joint, system of fastening, integrity of product, fit, and finish.

Kitchens
Report
You can have the kitchen you want, designed for the way you cook and entertain. We'll create the most efficient solution for your space while maintaining an overall sense of beauty and coherence. Traditional or modern. For a large space or the more compact spaces often found in older homes. With elements from specific time periods if you wish.
Built-Ins & Furniture
Report
Warm places to gather. Built-in units or standalone custom-made furniture can add an entirely new dimension to any room. Shelving can be designed to hold whatever you want that should be handy and artfully presented. Wooden doors can hide work spaces. Glass cabinets can showcase treasures. The beautiful details will remind you every day of the quality you've chosen to live with.
Trim
Report
Fine millwork, a speciality of ours, bestows a sense of quality and character. People who live in older homes know the aesthetic pleasure of high baseboards, lovely crown mouldings, and substantial window and door frames. We have the tooling to create or duplicate almost any historical profile. Our flexible machinery handles runs of any size, from a few hundred feet for renovators to hundreds of feet for large commercial orders.
Commercial
Report
Our commercial work is well known in Guelph. We've created iconic seating, bars, counters, displays, reception areas, and other fixtures for a number of restaurants, retailers, and manufacturers. Design and functionality are prominent. Durability is built in. Customers are drawn to the obvious custom-made look and feel.
Repairs
Report
We love doing repair work. It combines our love of history with our skills as cabinetmakers. For our customers, skillful repair means that pieces of value - historical or sentimental - or perhaps furniture damaged in a move, can be brought back. You might have an old bed frame, table, or cabinet that needs work.
