We service the Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and Delaware area!

Architectural Millwork & Casework

The core of our business: commercial casework, reception areas, built-ins, wall panels, specialty woodwork, and field modifications, fabricated in our 21,000 sq ft Easton facility and installed by our own crews. Museum, educational, institutional, and government work across Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware.

Selected Project Work

Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum · Petworth Neighborhood Library · Oxon Hill Fire Station · Washington College – performed for general contractors including Gilbane, Chiaramonte Construction, and Corenic Construction.

What We Build

Commercial Casework

Custom casework for libraries, classrooms, offices, and public buildings: base and wall cabinets, storage systems, service counters, and staff work areas.

Reception Areas & Feature Desks

Reception desks and feature millwork that anchor a lobby, with integrated stone and solid surface tops fabricated by Exact Tops, our stone division.

Built-Ins & Storage Walls

Built-in benches, display units, shelving systems, and storage walls, engineered for daily public use.

Wall Panels & Architectural Woodwork

Wall paneling, wainscot, column wraps, ceiling details, and trim packages built to the architect’s drawings and finish schedule.

Specialty Woodwork

One-off pieces that don’t come from a catalog: donor recognition walls, exhibit millwork, custom benches, and unique architectural features.

Field Modifications & Retrofits

Modifications to existing millwork, field repairs, and retrofit work in occupied buildings, scheduled around your operations.

Sector Experience

Our millwork is in museums, libraries, fire stations, correctional facilities, and college campuses: municipal, state, and federal work alongside private institutions. Public and institutional projects carry their own bar, with submittals, documentation, multiple stakeholders, and inspection standards. We build to that bar on every project. Selected work: Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, Petworth Neighborhood Library, DC Corrections, Oxon Hill Fire Station, and Washington College.

Case Study: Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Welcome Center

The Project – The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s new Welcome Center in St. Michaels, Maryland, under general contractor Gilbane. Our scope: the main reception desk and the complete museum store millwork, through custom benches.

The Challenge – A tight schedule, multiple decision-makers, and a high-visibility space: this millwork is the first thing every visitor sees.

The Approach – Millwork fabricated in our Easton facility and installed by our own crews, with shop drawings and finish decisions coordinated across the museum’s decision-makers and Gilbane’s field team.

The Result – The reception desk and museum store millwork now anchor the Welcome Center, and the build was documented step by step in the museum’s own construction update series below.
