Commercial millwork
Burlingame Avenue and downtown San Mateo are full of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and offices that need durable, good-looking millwork.

- Retail displays and café counters
Bay Area work
For the 1X Technologies headquarters in San Carlos we built more than 100 custom cherry cabinets and two 65-foot shelving walls around six 18-foot arched windows in about four weeks. For a San Francisco home we built a solid oak dining table on a hand-polished stainless steel base.
For the kids
Our Primary Craft Stool is a handmade solid alder kids stool in primary colors, a lasting alternative to plastic kids furniture. Sets of 2 are $390. See kids furniture for Bay Area families.
How it works
We review your plans, measure on site, send shop drawings and finish samples for approval, build in our shop near Sacramento, and deliver to Hillsborough. We work alongside your architect, designer and builder. See how a custom millwork project works.
