Custom millwork in Aurora
Custom millwork is anything built for a specific room that a catalogue cannot supply: built-ins, panelling, feature walls, concealed doors. Kitchens, mudrooms off the garage, second floor laundry rooms, closets and wall units.
Aurora, on the ground.
Aurora has century houses with later back additions in the older core and newer subdivision housing with nine foot main floor ceilings east and north of it. Century houses ask for panelling that follows existing trim and scribes to plaster; newer houses ask for feature walls and built-ins that give a plain room a centre. Driveways are deep and garages attached in the newer areas, while the older core has narrower drives and a step up at the back door. Panels and boxes are cut and finished in the shop, dry-fitted, then delivered and scribed to your walls and ceilings on site.
Where a Aurora kitchen sits in a later addition, the addition rarely meets the original house square, so the transition is designed as a panelled return rather than a butt joint.

No figures published. The drivers, in order.
| Driver | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Square footage of finished face | Millwork is priced by the finished surface and the number of parts behind it. |
| Material and finish | Painted MDF panels sit at one end; sequence-matched walnut and solid fluting at the other. |
| Site conditions | Out-of-square walls, sloped ceilings and bulkheads add scribing and site time. |
| Hidden function | Concealed doors, lighting, drawers behind panels and stone all add parts and trades. |
The number comes from the drawings, line by line. Colour and hardware are the smallest lines on a millwork quote.
Asked before the first call.
Do you take small millwork jobs in Aurora?
Yes. A single built-in, a window seat or one panelled wall in Aurora goes through the same measure, drawing and shop build as a whole kitchen.
Can millwork in Aurora match my kitchen finish?
Yes. If we built the kitchen the finish comes from the same deck and veneer lot. If someone else did, bring a door and we match the colour or species from a sample.
Can you build storage into a second floor laundry room?
Yes. The usual package is a counter across the machine pair, a tall unit beside them for supplies, a rail for hanging and a pull out for the basket. We need the machine model and whether they stack or sit side by side, because that sets the counter height and the door swing.
Do you install in Aurora, or only design and build?
We do all three. The same crew that measures delivers and installs, which is why the boxes match the room. Aurora installs are booked as full days rather than half days because of the drive, so the run goes in over [n] consecutive days instead of visits spread across weeks.
