The Benefits of Remodeling Your Kitchen

Custom carpentry and built-ins offer unparalleled opportunities to transform your home into a space that is both functional and uniquely yours. Unlike pre-made furniture or off-the-shelf solutions, custom woodwork is tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and the architectural style of your home.

Maximize Space
Custom built-ins and storage solutions are designed to make the most of every square foot, especially in areas where space is limited. From under-stair storage to floor-to-ceiling shelving, these features help you optimize unused or awkward spaces while maintaining a seamless look.

Personalized Design
With custom carpentry, you’re not limited to standard sizes or finishes. Whether it’s a built-in entertainment center, window seat, or home office, your project will reflect your style and preferences, ensuring it perfectly complements the rest of your home.

Enhance Functionality
Custom designs prioritize functionality, allowing you to tailor storage, shelving, or workspaces to meet your family’s specific needs. Built-ins can integrate features like hidden compartments, pull-out drawers, or cable management systems, making everyday tasks more convenient.

Boost Aesthetic Appeal
Custom woodwork adds a level of elegance and sophistication to any room. Whether it’s detailed crown molding, a handcrafted mantel, or a sleek modern built-in, these features elevate your home’s design and create a polished, cohesive look.

Increase Home Value
High-quality custom carpentry enhances your home’s appeal and can significantly boost its resale value. Built-ins, for example, are a sought-after feature that potential buyers appreciate for their functionality and aesthetic value.

Long-Term Durability
Custom carpentry is built to last. Using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, these pieces are more durable than mass-produced alternatives, ensuring you’ll enjoy them for years to come.

Eco-Friendly Solutions
Custom carpentry also allows you to choose sustainable materials and eco-friendly finishes, helping you reduce your environmental impact while creating a healthier home environment.

What Our Carpentry Clients Say...

Superb work done to transform our house in ways that really exceeded our expectations.

Superb work done to transform our house in ways that really exceeded our expectations. We had about 15 projects completed and the team sequenced the work in a seamless way. Everything was completed thoroughly, with constant check ins with us to ensure we were happy. Some course corrections were needed but we talked through the options and valued Armstrong's opinion about the best choices. Amazingly, the entire inside and outside completed on time. Thrilled with Armstrong's work. Thank you, Nick and Colleen and the entire staff!

Nick and the team did a fantastic job with our custom built-ins!

Nick and the team did a fantastic job with our custom built-ins! He came to our home, discussed our vision, took pictures & measurements. We then met with him & Victoria (designer) to view the rendering. They guided us through the process and made it easy. Hunter did a great job with the cabinet installation, as did the electricians with the lighting. I felt very comfortable having them in our home and they were very conscientious in protecting our floors and with clean-up. Colleen made the process easy via the CoConstruct system which had our contract, change requests, and invoicing information. The built-ins are AWESOME & we've received many compliments on them. Overall we had a positive experience with Armstrong and look forward to working with them on future projects!!

We highly recommend using Armstrong Interiors.

We highly recommend using Armstrong Interiors. Professional, exact, neat, affordable are all words that I would use to describe our experience with them. I was also very impressed with the quality of the work and always felt like my best interests were being looked out for--there was no cutting of corners by the Armstrong Team to just get something done. It was very refreshing and it is great to have a contractor that we can trust.
