Custom Millwork Services in Coral Gables

Coral Gables was master-planned in the 1920s with a level of architectural control that still governs what happens here today. Original homes carry deep casings, barrel-tile rooflines, coral rock detailing, and crown profiles that no lumberyard has stocked in eighty years. Drop a modern stock profile into one of those rooms and it reads wrong immediately, even to people who could not tell you why.

That is why nearly everything we produce for this neighborhood starts with a template taken off the existing trim. We grind a custom knife, mill to the original profile, and match the sheen so a new run disappears into a hundred-year-old room. For homeowners commissioning custom millwork in Coral Gables, we also prepare the drawings that exterior-facing work needs for Board of Architects review, so the approval process does not become the long pole in the project.

Custom Millwork Coral Gables

The housing stock here spans 1920s Mediterranean Revival originals, mid-century ranches along the southern streets, and newer construction built to look older than it is. Each wants a different answer. A Merrick-era house needs profile matching and restraint; a new build in the same idiom needs the details drawn from scratch so they land as convincing rather than applied.

Kitchens, libraries, and paneled studies make up most of our residential work here, followed by closets, vanities, and stair parts. Ceiling heights in the older homes are generous, which lets crown and paneling carry real depth — but the walls are plaster over masonry and rarely plumb, so everything gets scribed rather than shimmed and hoped for.

We also work on the commercial side along Miracle Mile and Ponce de Leon — reception desks, retail casework, and restaurant fixtures for tenants who have to satisfy both a landlord and the city’s design expectations.

Why Choose Our Coral Gables Millwork Contractors

Coral Gables clients tend to have done this before, often more than once. They know the difference between trim that was matched and trim that was approximated, and they are usually the reason we get the next project on their street.

  • Profile matching from a physical template. We grind custom knives rather than substituting the closest stock profile.
  • Board of Architects documentation. Exterior-facing millwork comes with the drawings the review process expects.
  • Plaster-and-masonry experience. Work is scribed to walls that were never plumb, not forced into them.
  • Whole-home consistency. One profile family carries across kitchen, study, stair, and baths.
  • Coordination with your GC and architect. We work from the construction set and hold our own dates.

Common questions

Coral Gables Custom Millwork FAQs

Can you match the original trim in a 1920s Coral Gables home?

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here. We take a template or physical sample of the existing profile, grind a custom knife, and mill new stock to match. Species, sheen, and color are matched separately, and we test on an offcut before running the full order.

Do you handle Board of Architects submittals?

We prepare the millwork drawings and material documentation that exterior-facing work needs for review, and we coordinate with your architect or GC who holds the application. Interior millwork generally falls outside that process.

Do you work on the newer homes as well as the historic ones?

Yes. Newer construction built in the Mediterranean idiom often needs more design input, not less — the details have to be drawn from scratch to read as authentic rather than assembled from catalog parts.

Can you take on commercial work on Miracle Mile?

Yes. Retail casework, reception desks, restaurant fixtures, and office joinery for Coral Gables commercial tenants are all within scope, including coordination with landlord requirements and build-out schedules.
