The Process

Step 1: Dream

The first step in the process is for you to show us all the ideas you’ve dreamt about. Whether you know exactly what you want or have a general idea of what you’re hoping for, we can help you work through your goals for your space. Inspiration pictures are great for this step to help nail down exactly what you’re envisioning.

Step 2: Meeting

Next, we’ll do an onsite meeting to determine the timeline, tools, and materials needed for the project(s).

Step 3: Proposal

Next, we’ll provide a quote for the work. We’ll take into account the materials and time needed to complete the project. Once you approve our proposal and pay a 40% retainer, we will work out a timeline with you and begin!

Step 4: Completion

The last step in the process is a completed woodworking project! The final payment is due at this time, and we guarantee you’ll be dreaming about what project you can start next…

Are you ready to start your dream project?

"Refined Carpentry built a custom, over-the-door built-in bookshelf in our 1920s home. I am SO in love with the final product. Alex designed the piece exactly as I asked; it’s the first thing that guests see when they walk into our home, and a frequent topic of conversation. We love the character and unique quality it reintroduces to our complete renovation. Bonus that Alex was clean and conscientious of our home while he worked!”

"Alex took on a project at our house, and we were impressed by his attention to detail. He is very knowledgeable and was a great resource when we needed to make decisions about the project. Alex is very talented, and we would highly recommend him!”

"I am unusually tall, so I was eager to have Alex make our bathroom vanities as high as my wife allowed. The finished product was unique, high-end, and has saved me from the usual back-ache of bending low to wash my hands. I was also impressed with how efficient he was with time and materials. Virtually zero waste.
