The Advantages of Adding Custom Millwork to Your Home
Custom millwork can create a new look for your home.
If you want to increase the value of your home, consider a home improvementproject using custom millwork building materials. One popular use of millwork is to create custom stairs and trim. While commodity millwork manufacturersoffer mass-produced lineal material for lower prices, a custom shop will make each product unique for the specific customer. Consider the following benefits when deciding whether to add custom millwork to your home:
High Quality Pieces
A custom millwork shop will ensure every one of your pieces is of the highest quality. With a commodity manufacturer’s mass-produced pieces, discerning homeowners may not be satisfied with the material quality, workmanship, profile and species choices. In order for a commodity producer to keep prices low, the high-speed machines must churn out large quantities of product. When this happens, quality is reduced because there isn’t enough time to visually inspect all lengths for defects.
Custom millwork shops will visually inspect all of your pieces and will replace any defective items. These shops will notice and replace small imperfections like milling marks and machining variability patterns.
Consider the beauty of custom millwork for your home.
Add Beauty to Your Home
Unlike lineal millwork, custom millwork will add individualized beauty to your home. Beautiful custom stairs and trim can help the interior of your home stand out to visitors. Ceiling molding and some decorative millwork in other areas of the home will make it memorable and increase the value of your residence.
Personal Attention
Products from commodity millwork producers are generally available through wholesale distributors, building centers, lumberyards and home improvement centers. It is unlikely you will receive personal attention and advice tailored to your needs from your local big box store.
Your custom millwork producer will make a personal connection with you, just as he does with every customer. No detail is too small to discuss or modify. The producer will assist you through the steps so the result is a product made to your specifications. Aspects, such as color, doors, type of materials, finish, depth or height, can be adjusted. Custom millwork producers care about customer satisfaction. They want to be sure the finished product meets your needs and wishes.
Increased Home Value
Though a custom producer is more expensive than a commodity producer, theincreased value added to your home is worth it. In addition, the custom producer can work with you to determine an appropriate level of products and services for your budget. For a new house, quality custom millwork generally costs less than 5 percent of the total house project. The resulting value of the finished project will usually be greater than your initial purchase price.
