Helping you decide
Honest comparisons for the decisions that come up most often.
Custom Built-ins vs Store-Bought
Custom Built-in
- Scribed to your actual walls
- Plywood carcass, specified hardware
- Built to the exact dimension
- Lasts decades
Store-Bought Unit
- Standard sizes with filler gaps
- Particleboard construction
- Limited height and width options
- Functional but temporary
Custom wins in any non-standard space. Store-bought is fine for rentals and standard rooms.
Paint Grade vs Stain Grade
Paint Grade (MDF)
- No seasonal movement
- Takes paint beautifully
- Lower material cost
- Standard for painted millwork
Stain Grade (Solid Wood)
- Shows natural grain
- Higher material cost
- Requires species selection
- Seasonal movement to manage
Paint grade for a specific colour. Stain grade when you want to see the wood.
Solid Wood vs MDF
Solid Wood
- Natural grain character
- Impact-resistant
- Can be refinished
- Moves with humidity
MDF
- Dimensionally stable
- Takes paint perfectly
- Lower cost
- No grain to show
MDF for painted trim and doors. Solid wood for stained work and high-impact areas.
Floating Shelves vs Doored Cabinets
Floating Shelves
- Open, airy display
- Easy access
- No door hardware
- Shows everything
Doored Cabinets
- Hidden storage
- Clean visual
- Dust-free interior
- More expensive
Shelves for display. Cabinets for concealed storage. Most rooms benefit from both.
IKEA Cabinets vs Custom
IKEA / Flat-Pack
- Lower cost
- Fast delivery
- Good hardware
- Standard sizes only
Custom Built
- Scribed to your walls
- Plywood carcass
- Any finish or species
- Higher initial cost
IKEA for standard spaces and shorter stays. Custom for awkward rooms and long-term homes.
How it works
Five steps, no surprises.
Most projects run two to six weeks from the first visit. You will know which stage you are at throughout.
Consultation
We visit, measure, and talk through what the space actually needs to do. Free, and no obligation.
Design & drawing
You get elevation drawings and a fixed written price. Changing a drawing costs nothing; changing built cabinetry does not.
Shop build
Carcasses, doors and drawers built in the shop where tolerances, dust and finishing are controllable.
Installation
Levelled, fixed to structure and scribed to your walls. Usually one to three days on site.
Finish & walk-through
Filling, caulking and final coats. We walk it with you, list anything not right, and come back to correct it.
