Beaufort's old houses are the best argument for custom cabinets in the Lowcountry. Rooms built before standard sizes existed do not take standard cabinets — they take work measured to the room and built to match the trim that is already there.
In the historic district and the older neighborhoods off Carteret Street, our most common job is making new work read as original: built-ins profiled to 1920s molding, kitchen cabinets in period styles, and finishes that sit comfortably next to heart pine and old plaster.
Newer Beaufort — the developments toward Lady's Island and Port Royal — gets the other half of our work: full kitchens, refacing, and closet systems in homes where the builder's cabinets were the first thing to age.
Either way the process is the same. Free in-home measure, written estimate naming tier, wood, and finish, and our own crew on the install. Old-house surprises — out-of-level floors, walls that wander — are found at the measure, not billed as discoveries later.
We are in Beaufort every week. Call for the free visit and we will bring samples that suit the house you actually have.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchens in Beaufort's older homes are measured to rooms that predate standard sizes — cabinets built to the inch and styled to sit next to 1920s trim and heart pine.
Refacing & Painting
Beaufort boxes were often built solid the first time. New doors and veneer keep that structure and change the face — the right job for a lot of older kitchens.
Vanities & Built-Ins
Built-ins profiled to match your existing molding, and vanities sized to old-house bathrooms where every inch is already spoken for.
How the Job Runs
1 · The Visit
The free visit starts with the house itself: the trim profiles, the floor levels, the walls as they are. Old Beaufort homes are measured as they stand, not as a plan says.
2 · The Written Price
Written before anything starts — tier, wood, finish, total — including the fitting work old rooms need, found at the measure instead of billed as surprises.
3 · The Build
Built-ins are profiled to your existing molding in the shop, so new work arrives ready to read as original.
4 · Install Day
Our own crew installs. Scribing to walls that wander is the job, and old floors and plaster are protected while we do it.
5 · The Walk-Through
Door by door and drawer by drawer with you, in the room. If a reveal is off, it is fixed then — not noted for later.

Built-In Cabinets — Beaufort
10 feet of built-in library cabinets and window-seat storage in a historic Beaufort home, built to match 1920s trim profiles.
“Matching new work to old trim is where most people fail. They profiled the existing molding and built to it. Guests assume the shelves are original to the house.” — Susan, Beaufort
