Cost & Timeline

Estimated investment: $15,000 – $100,000+, depending on size, complexity, material choices, and whether structural adjustments are needed.
Typical duration: 6 to 16 weeks from concept through installation.
For interior built-in projects without structural changes, permitting is limited; but if you’re altering walls or integrating into load-bearing zones, Boston ISD review may be required.
All built-ins are backed by our 7-year workmanship warranty.
All projects include design, permitting, construction, and final detailing.

//Expertise

Local Expertise (Boston & Interiors)

In Boston, many built-in cabinetry projects interface with historic trim, moldings, or uneven old walls. We have experience blending new cabinetry with existing architectural details—even in homes in Beacon Hill, Back Bay, or older rowhouses. For example, local millwork firms in Boston produce built-in cabinetry that spans 12-foot walls and seamlessly tie into crown and base moldings to match existing finishes. 
We also partner with local cabinetmakers and architectural woodworking shops (like those in Greater Boston) to ensure the highest standards of finish and integration.
