Restaurant Millwork in California
PhillBuilt is a restaurant millwork shop in Rancho Cordova, California. We design, build and install the woodwork that defines a dining room: bar fronts and back bars, banquettes and booths, host stands, service stations, wall paneling, shelving and the tables and seating that go with them. Projects span Sacramento, the Bay Area and Southern California.
Trusted by Michelin-starred restaurants: we built custom furniture for The Kitchen and Localis, both starred in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide California. See our fine dining work.
