Westford makes cabinetry, built-ins and architectural millwork by hand, one commission at a time, for architects, interior designers and private clients across Central Texas.
We do not carry a catalogue. Each commission starts with a site survey and a set of shop drawings, and ends with our own crew on your floor setting scribes by hand.
Doors are mortise and tenon. Drawer boxes are solid maple, dovetailed front and back. Finishes are sprayed in our own booth and cured before they leave the building. Nothing is subcontracted, because the person who cut the piece is the person who answers for it.
A private residence in Tarrytown. Book-matched American walnut, blackened steel hanging rails and integrated linear lighting behind a bevelled reveal.
Eleven feet of shelving scribed into a 1928 plaster wall, with a concealed door to the study and brass shelf standards cut on site.
Full inset doors in a hand-mixed graphite, paired with a single slab island and an appliance wall panelled to read as joinery rather than machinery.
Most commissions run sixteen to twenty-two weeks from first survey to final walkthrough.
We walk the room with you, take our own measurements and talk through how the space is actually used.
Scaled elevations and section details, revised with you until the last reveal and shadow line is agreed.
You pick the boards at the rack. We lay out grain across doors and drawer fronts before anything is cut.
Cut, joined, sanded and finished in our Austin shop. You are welcome on the floor at any stage.
Our own crew sets and scribes on site, then walks the finished room with you before we hand over the keys.
Hardwood is bought in the log where we can, air dried in our own yard and kilned to eight per cent before it reaches the bench. It costs more and it takes longer. It is also why our doors still sit flat a decade later.
If your question is not here, ask it directly. We answer every enquiry ourselves.
Ask a questionMost full kitchens fall between $85,000 and $240,000 depending on size, species and hardware. We give a fixed price against agreed drawings, not a range, and that price does not move unless you change the drawings.
Sixteen to twenty-two weeks is typical, measured from the day drawings are signed. Larger millwork packages run longer. We book the shop floor in advance, so the date we give you at the start is the date we hold.
Roughly two thirds of our work comes through design practices. We read their drawings, produce shop drawings against them and attend site meetings. If you have no designer yet, we can recommend three we work with often.
Yes. We cut custom knives for running trim and can match a profile from a single salvaged offcut. Species and finish matching on old timber is done by hand at the bench, with samples sent to you before we commit.
Our own installation crew, all of them bench-trained. We do not use subcontract fitters. The lead joiner on your commission is on site for the set, which is the only way scribes come out right.
Ten years on workmanship and structure, including doors, drawer boxes and carcass joinery. Hardware carries its maker's warranty, which we register for you. Finish is covered for three years against checking and delamination.
They found a bow in our floor before we did, and cut the toe kick to it.
Consultations are free and unhurried, at our shop or at your site. Most begin with a set of photographs and a rough floor plan.
