Why Dovetail & Grain
One craftsman owns the work from sketch to final wipe-down.
Custom carpentry lives or dies in the quiet parts: the reveal around an old plaster wall, the way a cabinet door closes, the finish sample held against the floor at noon.
- One craftsman owns your project start to finish.
- Shop-built, site-installed for less dust and tighter joints.
- Materials you approve before a single cut.
- Five-year craftsmanship warranty in writing.

Materials & craftsmanship
Chosen boards, clean joinery, and hardware from the good drawer.
Species, finish, and hardware are part of the design conversation. The result should look settled on day one and still make sense years from now.

Mina & Claire T.Your Service AreaQuestions homeowners ask
Custom work without guesswork.
The first conversation is meant to remove uncertainty: pricing method, timeline, materials, and what can be matched.
Dovetail & Grain provides a fixed written proposal after the design consultation, so there are no hourly surprises.
A typical built-in takes 3-6 weeks from approval. The timeline is written into the proposal before work begins.
