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.
