Carroll Gardens homes
Built for Carroll Gardens rowhouses
Carroll Gardens is mostly 19th-century brownstone and brick rowhouses set back behind deep front gardens, with walk-up apartments above the shops on Court and Smith Streets and a few newer condominium buildings toward the Gowanus side.
Brownstone rowhouses
Single-family and two-family houses with parlor floors, high ceilings, original moldings and fireplace mantels, where bookcases and cabinetry are scribed to plaster walls and floors that have settled over a century.
Floor-through apartments
Rowhouses divided into co-op, condo or rental floor-throughs, where a narrow kitchen at one end and bedrooms at the other call for storage that makes use of every alcove and niche.
Garden levels
Lower floors that open onto the rear yard, often reworked as family kitchens or media rooms with low ceilings, where cabinetry has to clear beams, pipes and steps down to the garden.
Newer condos & storefronts
Recent elevator buildings near the canal and ground-floor shops on Court and Smith Streets, which suit fitted closets, wall displays and shelving built to fit-out drawings.

What we build
What we build for Carroll Gardens homes
Custom Millwork
Parlor-floor bookcases, kitchen cabinetry, window seats, vanities and paneling, sized to rowhouse rooms and the original trim around them.
Custom Millwork
Aluminum & Glass Systems
Rowhouse bedrooms rarely have deep closets, so aluminum-framed glass wardrobes, cabinet doors and lit shelves give built-in storage without boxing in the room.

Indoor Fireplace Systems
Where an original mantel is decorative only, a Planika bioethanol fireplace needs no chimney or gas line; room size, air circulation and clearances vary by model.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do cabinets get into a Carroll Gardens brownstone?
Pieces are designed to fit through the front door, up the stoop or down to the garden level, and around the tightest stair turn. Those clearances are measured before anything is made, and large runs are built in sections.
Can built-ins match the original details of my house?
Yes. We build to your drawings and site measurements, so cabinetry and bookcases can follow existing moldings, window casings and ceiling heights.
Is Carroll Gardens close to your shop?
Yes. Our shop is at 4014 1st Ave in Industry City, Brooklyn, a short drive from Carroll Gardens, which makes site visits and deliveries simple to schedule.
