The questions we hear most from homeowners, designers, builders, and GCs — answered the way
we'd answer them on the phone. Anything missing, ask us directly.
Do I need a designer or builder to work with you?
No. We work directly with homeowners on select projects, and we're happy to coordinate with your
designer or builder if you have one. Either way, your project gets the same in-house engineering, the same shop,
and a named Project Manager.
Can I visit the shop?
Yes — by appointment. We're at 653 W 66th St in Loveland, Colorado.
Walk the floor, see projects in progress, and put your hands on real door styles and finish samples before you
commit to anything.
Yes — select projects in the Roaring Fork Valley: Aspen,
Snowmass, Basalt, Carbondale, and Glenwood Springs. Our founder grew up in Carbondale and started his building
career framing in Glenwood Springs, so the valley is familiar ground. We plan mountain work deliberately:
consolidated deliveries, scheduled install trips, and minimum scopes sized to be worth the drive.
Do you work in Wyoming?
Yes — we've already built in Wyoming twice: a casework package for an
MRI suite in Cheyenne with general contractor NeuMark Commercial Builders, and a custom vanity for a Casper
residence with the design studio Design Muze. Cheyenne is about an hour up I-25 from our Loveland shop, so
Wyoming's Front Range corridor is inside our normal range; farther up the corridor, like Casper, we plan
deliveries and trips deliberately.
How is your cabinetry built?
Boxes are ¾-inch plywood throughout — no particleboard carcases. Every job is engineered in-house:
parts cut on our CNC, profiles like reeded and fluted fronts hand-sanded smooth, doors and
drawers fit at the bench, and the whole package built to AWI standards. The nine-stage
roadmap walks through it.
What door styles do you build?
Full-overlay, inset, slab, shaker, and textural fronts like reeded and fluted profiles run in our
own shop. Because we build the doors rather than order them, your designer's reveal and profile spec drives the
engineering, not the other way around.
What wood species and finishes do you use?
Recent work runs rift white oak, walnut, sapele, and paint-grade hard maple, with other species
available by project. Finishes are water-based and sprayed in our own finish room, and you approve a physical
finish sample before production starts.
What are your lead times?
As of November 2026, lead times run about 7 to 9 weeks from approved shop drawings to install: 7
for unfinished frameless cabinetry, 9 for finished or face-frame work. We're booking January installs now, and
the current numbers stay posted on the trade page. They come straight from the shop's
production schedule, and we confirm the real date for your job before you commit. On a tighter timeline? Tell
us your install date and we'll tell you straight if we can hit it.
Is there a minimum project size?
Minimum project scopes apply — a single stock-size cabinet usually isn't a fit for a custom shop.
Bring us the project and we'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense, and point you in the right direction if
it doesn't.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes — architectural millwork and casework for general contractors, architects, and owners:
reception desks, feature walls, conference and break-room packages, and hospitality millwork, built to AWI
standards with submittal-ready shop drawings. See commercial millwork.
Do you install?
Yes. Our own crew installs most of what we build, and for trade partners who prefer their own
installers, we deliver sequenced to your schedule with everything labeled and ready to set.
How do I start a project?
Start on the contact page — tell us whether you're a homeowner,
designer, builder, or GC, and we'll route you to the right person for a discovery call. Drawings and inspiration
photos help, but a clear description of the space is enough to begin.
