Custom Millwork & Closets in Greenwich Village

Bookcases, kitchens, closets and fireplaces for Greenwich Village’s Federal and Greek Revival townhouses, prewar co-ops around Washington Square and converted walk-ups, built in our Industry City shop to fit tight stairs and strict building rules.

Greenwich Village buildings

Built for the Village’s older buildings

Much of Greenwich Village sits inside a large historic district, so most projects are interior renovations in buildings that are 100 years old or more.

Federal & Greek Revival townhouses

Early 19th-century rowhouses with narrow halls, winding stairs and parlor floors where bookcases and cabinets are scribed around fireplaces, moldings and old floors.

Prewar co-ops

Elevator buildings on Fifth Avenue, around Washington Square and along lower Fifth, where alteration agreements, board review and small service elevators shape every delivery.

Walk-ups & tenement conversions

Four- and five-story walk-ups with compact rooms, where full-height closets and built-ins add storage and every piece is sized for the stairwell.

Shops & studios

Storefronts, studios and offices on Bleecker, Eighth Street and side streets, with wall displays and shelving built to the fit-out drawings.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do large pieces get into a Village walk-up or townhouse?

Pieces are sized and, where needed, built in sections to fit the narrowest stair, doorway and turn on the way in. These are confirmed with the final measurements before anything is made.

Can you work within my co-op’s alteration agreement?

Yes. We build to the approved drawings and plan delivery around your building’s service elevator, loading times and permitted work hours.

Can I have a fireplace if my chimney is sealed?

Planika bioethanol fireplaces need no chimney or gas line. Requirements for room size, air circulation and clearances vary by model and are confirmed before ordering.
