Millwork programs need a shop that goes from drawing to installed run

Dovetail Millwork combines shop drawings, precision fabrication, finishing and site installation under one roof, for residential and commercial programs that cannot afford a handoff.

The slat partitions arrived scribed to the wall and the drawings matched the building. Nothing to fix on site.

Why it stays under one roof

Millwork goes wrong in the handoffs. Drawings say one thing, the shop builds another, and an installer nobody has met arrives to make up the difference on site.

We kept drawings, engineering, fabrication and installation in the same building. The person who drew your run walks the site. The crew that milled it hangs it. Nothing gets explained twice.

Half our work comes through architects and designers, half directly from owners. Both get the same drawings and the same tolerance.
