What Is Custom Mill?

Millworking is a type of woodworking that uses raw lumber from a mill. Custom mill includes your own design of panels, moldings, trims, and doors. Other inclusions of architectural millwork are cabinets, shelves, and even stairs.

Custom mill generally encompasses everything made from wood manufactured in a mill. Millwork is installed on-site or done in our workroom, depending on the client’s specific requirements.

FAQs

What types of wood are available to use?

We have a variety of wood species. You will have plenty of choices to select from for what you need. To check our current inventory, you can contact us anytime so that we can discuss what you want in detail.

What finishes do you use?

We believe in friendly and non-toxic finishes. We use several types of finishes from different brands that are applied by hand using an airless spray pump. This results in flawless and beautiful finishes, including stains, sealers, and topcoats.

How can I care for my custom items?

Wood items are easy to care for. All you need to remember is to use natural or mild cleaning products when cleaning. Water mixed with vinegar, or a mild soap, is enough to clean wood surfaces. Use a damp and soft clean cloth like a microfiber towel, and always dry the surfaces with a new cloth of the same kind.

Can I paint or stain the millwork?

If you want to paint or stain the millwork yourself, you can do so. Just tell us ahead of time that you want to finish it yourself so we can include it in your plan.

How will humidity affect the millwork?

All millwork is affected by humidity. However, the woods we use are dried properly, significantly reducing warping and cracking when transferred to a new environment.
