Why Dovetail & Grain
Made with the details in mind.
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.

Client notes
The details homeowners remember.
"The built-in looks like it has always belonged in the room. Every reveal lines up, and they matched our old trim perfectly."
"We approved the walnut sample and the final piece looked exactly like the sample. Calm process, beautiful work, no surprises."
"Our home office went from awkward to tailored. The drawers, lighting, and shelves are all where we wanted them."
Questions homeowners ask
The details, before you decide.
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.
Yes. Species, profile, and finish matching are routine parts of custom carpentry work.
