Commercial Cabinetry designed, built and installed for Queens — Tudor houses and new towers, needing opposite answers. Our New York showroom in Brooklyn is a short run from most of the borough.
A New York fit-out is a logistics exercise with joinery attached. Loading windows, freight lifts, overnight working hours, building insurance requirements and a landlord's rules all shape what can be built and when it can be installed. We shop-fabricate as much as possible and deliver in pieces that fit the lift, because the alternative is discovering on site that the counter does not go round the corner.
Queens has the widest range of housing of any borough, and the brief changes completely between a Forest Hills Tudor and a Long Island City tower. The first conversation is about which of those two problems we are solving.
The single-family stock is older and characterful — arched openings, plaster, original trim — and the cabinetry is usually detailed to sit alongside it rather than to replace the character.
The co-ops run alteration agreements as strictly as Manhattan does, including insurance, working hours and elevator scheduling.
The local detail changes from job to job. This part does not.
Commercial joinery gets touched by hundreds of people a week and cleaned every night, so it is specified for wear first. We build reception desks, retail fixtures, office and hospitality joinery to commercial-grade finishes with edges detailed to survive trolleys, bags and chairs — and we work to a programme, because a fit-out has a trading date.
For a rollout, the joinery is drawn as a kit of parts so the second store costs less than the first and looks like its sibling.
Finishes, edges and hardware chosen for daily abuse and nightly cleaning rather than for a domestic duty cycle.
Shop-fabricated, delivered flat where it helps, and installed in the window the site actually has — including overnight.
More on how we approach this → Commercial Cabinetry
We work throughout Queens, including Forest Hills, Astoria, Jamaica Estates, Bayside and Long Island City. The housing here is Tudor and colonial single-family houses, a large stock of pre-war and post-war co-ops, and new towers in Long Island City, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom in Brooklyn is a short run from most of the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. The samples are worth handling before you choose — or send the drawings and we will price it first.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
