We design and build custom cabinetry for St. Matthews homes

We make built-ins to suit an existing room, including the furniture and details you plan to keep. That can mean choosing shallow shelving where walking space matters, bringing several storage functions together or fitting a cabinet into an otherwise awkward area.

We can discuss bedroom cabinetry, bookcases and other fitted storage without assuming your home needs a particular style. Painted fronts, visible wood grain and a mix of shelves and doors give us different directions to explore. Our experience helps us guide those decisions while your preferences remain central to the design.

Built-ins that work with your St. Matthews home

St. Matthews has a varied housing stock that includes Cape Cod homes and other established residential properties around areas such as Grandview Avenue. In a house with a finished upper floor, a sloped ceiling or low wall may offer a place to consider fitted storage instead of another freestanding dresser.

We check the room itself before making that recommendation, including ceiling height, access and any openings that need to remain usable. In a main-floor living room, fireplace-side cabinetry can be considered alongside the existing mantel and windows. We review clearances and trim rather than assuming new shelves can fit anywhere beside a hearth.
