Architectural Millwork

Millwork is where drawings, framing, cabinetry, trim, hardware, and finish carpentry meet.

Why we use it

BCG values millwork because it exposes whether the house was coordinated early or improvised late.

Character

Restraint matters. Profiles, reveals, panels, and grain should support the room instead of calling attention to themselves.

What we look for

Shop drawings, mockups where needed, stable substrates, clean details, hardware coordination, and finish consistency.

Design considerations

Proportion, shadow lines, transitions, and alignment with openings make millwork feel architectural.

Installation considerations

Framing accuracy, drywall finish, blocking, sequencing, and climate control determine the quality of the result.

Common mistakes

Treating millwork as decoration, delaying drawings, or expecting cabinetry to hide poor framing.

Maintenance + aging

Painted and stained millwork age differently. Touchups and repairs should preserve the original profile and finish.
