Whether you are completely renovating your home, building a new home from the ground up, or just looking for a small change up to your existing home, custom woodworking could be the solution for you. From unique personalization to supporting small businesses, there are many benefits to consider when adding custom woodworking to your home.
1 | PERSONALIZATION
Face it, homes these days are built exactly the same. If you live in a community, your home probably has the same exact interior and features as your neighbor next door. Avoid the cookie cutter look and add a personalized touch to your home by investing in custom woodworking. If it’s custom cabinetry you’re looking for, personalize it by designing the perfect layout for all your cabinets and drawers. Keep your personal items and clutter organized in a way that makes sense to you. Choose your cabinet door style, paint colors, wood species, and hardware to make your space feel like yours. Other custom woodworking such as furniture, mantels, gates, and interior/exterior doors, offer the same benefit of unique personalization. By selecting from the wide range of wood species, you are not only avoiding the cookie cutter “Ikea” look, but also opening the door to an amazing color palette to compliment your existing furniture and decor.
2 | Maximize Space
Picture this – you need a new dining room table. You scour the internet for hours searching for the perfect table. You finally come across the “perfect” one, but then you look at the dimensions and realize it won’t fit in your dining room. Back to square one, searching and searching. Frustrating, right? Avoid the searching altogether, and have that perfect piece you have drawn up in your mind handcrafted to fit flawlessly in your space. If you have an unusual home layout or funky nooks and crannies in your home, it can be especially frustrating finding the right piece to fit in your unconventional space. Whether it’s custom cabinetry, a bathroom vanity, or a piece of furniture, the benefit of going custom ensures the perfect fit every time, maximizing your living space and allowing you to use your space to its full potential.
3 | High Quality Craftsmanship
Mass produced, manufactured cabinetry, furniture, and doors are all made the same – using particle board, MDF, or cheap plywood. They don’t last long-term. Eventually you find that your drawers fall of their slides, cabinet doors sag, and the paint or finish starts deteriorating. These manufacturers skimp on quality to push products out faster and cut costs. What if you could get the same product without having to sacrifice quality? You can – with custom woodworking. You may not get your piece overnight, or even two day shipping, but what is an extra week or two in the grand scheme of things? Because we use solid wood, high quality hardware, and top-of-the-line finishes, your custom woodworking piece can be passed down through generations, rather than ditched after just a couple years.
4 | INCREASED Resale Value
Because of the quality and craftsmanship of custom woodworking and cabinetry, your home becomes a work of art. These pieces are one-of-a-kind creations that a potential buyer will not find straight off the shelf. Whether you are selling your home with custom cabinetry installed, or re-selling a custom built piece of furniture, the potential buyer will see the value because these items reflect all the hard work and artistry of its creator.
5 | Support Local Businesses
When you choose to go custom, you are not only supporting that small woodworking business, you are also supporting the small, family-owned lumber yard, the dad working long hours to keep his paint store open, or the small town hardware store that sees the same customers day in and day out. These are the businesses you don’t think about when you shop and order from big-box stores. There are many businesses out there trying to stay afloat in this new day of online shopping and free shipping. When we build your custom piece, we avoid getting materials from big box suppliers, and instead support local businesses. We enjoy shopping at family-owned shops, and hand-selecting wood and hardware for our projects, not only because we receive excellent customer service, but also because we know what it’s like to run a small business, By ordering custom you support your local economy and help keep small business owners from giving up their business and submitting to the corporate world.
