What is custom millwork, and how does it differ from off-the-shelf options?
At Oriel Renovations, we believe custom millwork is all about personalization and craftsmanship. Unlike mass-produced pieces, our custom-built cabinets, shelves, furniture, and trim details are made to measure, ensuring everything fits perfectly in your space and reflects your unique style.
Will custom millwork add value to my Toronto home?
Absolutely. Quality millwork elevates both the aesthetic and practical appeal of your property. While every project is different, Toronto’s competitive housing market consistently rewards well-crafted features, making custom millwork a savvy investment that can boost resale value.
How long does a custom millwork project typically take?
Timelines can vary based on the size and complexity of your project, but a typical custom millwork job—from initial design to installation—often takes anywhere from four to eight weeks. Our team at Oriel Renovations prioritizes transparency, keeping you updated throughout every phase to ensure your project stays on track.
Which materials work best for custom millwork in Toronto’s climate?
We recommend durable hardwoods like maple, oak, or walnut, as these woods hold up well against temperature fluctuations and humidity. We also source premium plywoods and eco-friendly MDF for specific components or decorative details. If you’re looking for a sustainable choice, we’re happy to suggest locally sourced or reclaimed timber options.
Do I need a designer, or can you handle the design process too?
Our in-house design team is here to help you bring your vision to life. We’ll guide you through everything—from initial sketches and 3D renderings to selecting finishes and hardware—so you can feel confident about every decision along the way.
How do I maintain my custom millwork so it stays looking new?
We recommend a gentle cleaning routine using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaners. For wood surfaces, occasional polishing or conditioning helps retain the finish and protect against everyday wear. We’ll provide a personalized care guide once your project is complete, so you’ll always know exactly how to keep your millwork in top shape.
Can I incorporate modern technology or smart home features?
Definitely. From built-in charging stations to integrated lighting and discreet cable management, we can seamlessly blend tech solutions into your custom millwork. Our goal is to ensure that each piece not only looks beautiful but also fits the modern lifestyle.
What should I consider before starting a custom millwork project?
First, think about your functional needs—like storage, display space, or unique design elements you’d love to incorporate. Also, consider your budget range and timeline. During our initial consultation, we’ll talk through all these details to help shape a solution that aligns perfectly with your vision and lifestyle here in Toronto.
