Do you handle moisture-related finishing issues common on the North Shore?

Yes. The North Shore's climate creates specific challenges: trim that swells, drywall that needs proper prep, flooring transitions that must accommodate movement. We understand these issues and use appropriate techniques and materials for lasting results.

Can you work on properties with challenging access on steep North Van lots?

Absolutely. We're experienced with the logistics of North Shore properties: narrow driveways, stairs, and limited staging areas. We plan accordingly and ensure our work doesn't create additional challenges for you or your neighbors.

Can you match existing trim and millwork in my home?

Yes, we specialize in matching existing profiles. We can source matching materials or custom-mill profiles to ensure your new built-ins look like they were always part of the home.

How long does a custom built-in project take?

Timeline varies by scope. A simple floating shelf installation might be completed in a day, while a full wall unit with custom cabinetry could take 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed timelines with every quote.
